Like most couples, we were incredibly excited about seeing our professional wedding photos after the big day. But we also looked forward to seeing the candid and fun shots our guests captured throughout the evening!
To make it extra easy for them to share these pictures with us, Stephen and I created a new Shutterfly account specifically for guests’ wedding photos. By simply using the login and password information we provided, they were able to upload their pictures as desired.

How did we get the word out? First, we posted the details on our wedding website. Secondly, at the reception, each guest found the card seen above at his or her place setting. It was easy to do and worked out great, because we got nearly a thousand pictures uploaded to our site within the next month!
LESSON LEARNED: Whether you end up with a thousand pictures or just one, providing photo-share cards to your guests is definitely worth doing. Creating the cards is a simple DIY you can do at home, as is setting up an account on Shutterfly or another site you prefer. You never know what fun and original shots you might end up with, some of which could even become favorites from the entire day! Guests can often capture smaller details that the pros don’t have a chance to catch, or offer a totally different perspective of the celebration. Plus, this option allows guests to order whichever photos they like, without coming to you in the busy weeks immediately following the wedding.
Will you invite your guests to share their photos with you, either through a website or by placing one-time-use cameras at their tables?
