Frequently Asked Questions

Wedding Memory is a wedding content platform that combines professional video delivery, guest photo and video uploads, and a digital guestbook into one web experience with the feel and functionality of social media but in a private circle. Guests access it by scanning a QR code once at the wedding venue or enter your personal web address 'your-names.wedding-memory.com' at any time later — no app download is required. It works on any smartphone browser. Couples pay a one-time fee of $299 for 12 months of hosting with 30GB of cloud storage. Every phone at the wedding becomes a camera for the couple's collection, and every guest can leave comments and reactions in the digital guestbook also long after the event.

No. Wedding Memory is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that runs entirely in the browser. Guests scan a QR code with their phone camera or enter your personal web address 'your-names.wedding-memory.com' and the experience opens directly in Safari, Chrome, or any mobile browser. There is no App Store or Google Play download. No account creation. No waiting. Guests who want a home screen icon for later, can optionally tap "Add to Home Screen" for a native app-like experience, but it is not required.

Wedding Memory costs $299 as a one-time payment. There are no monthly subscriptions, no per-guest fees, and no hidden charges. The price includes 30GB of cloud storage, 12 months of hosting from the wedding date, unlimited guest uploads, a digital guestbook with reactions and comment option, chapter-organized galleries, QR code generation, and a custom URL. Additional storage is available at $5 per 10GB if needed. There is only one plan — every wedding gets every feature.

The digital guestbook lets wedding guests leave written comments and emoji reactions alongside each photo or video. Unlike a traditional physical guestbook that sits on a shelf and rarely gets opened, the digital guestbook lives alongside the actual moments from the wedding. A guest can leave a message on the video of the first dance, or react with a heart to the ceremony photos. These messages become more meaningful over time — couples can read what their grandparents, friends, and family felt on the day, years after the wedding.

Exactly like they do on social media. Guests scan the QR code displayed at the wedding venue once with their phone camera or enter your personal web address 'your-names.wedding-memory.com'. The Wedding Memory web experience opens in their browser. They tap the upload button, select photos or videos from their camera roll (or take a new one), enter a nickname, and submit. That is the entire process. No account creation, no email address, no app download. Photos and videos appear in the gallery alongside professional content. For large files over 100MB, the platform uses automatic multipart uploads with parallel chunk uploading for reliability.

Yes. Guests enter only a nickname to participate — no email, no phone number, no social media login, no personal data collection. The wedding page is accessible only via the unique web-address or QR code, which the couple controls. Content is stored on Cloudflare R2 cloud infrastructure with enterprise-grade security and zero-egress architecture. The couple decides who receives the QR code or access link. There is no public directory of weddings — pages are not discoverable through search engines or browsing.

Google Photos and Google Drive are general-purpose file storage services. Wedding Memory is purpose-built for weddings. Key differences: Wedding Memory organizes professional video and guest uploads together in one gallery sorted by chapters (Ceremony, Reception, Speeches). It includes a digital guestbook where guests leave comments and emoji reactions tied to specific content. Guests need only a nickname to participate (no Google account required). Content is displayed in a TikTok-style vertical swipe feed optimized for mobile phones. There are no ads, no data collection from guests, and no risk of wedding photos mixing with other files.

Your wedding page is hosted for 12 months from your wedding date. During this time, guests can view all content, upload photos and videos, and leave guestbook messages at any time. Before the page expires, you will be notified and given the option to download all content — every photo, video, and guestbook message. The 12-month period gives the couple and all guests ample time to view, share, and save everything.

Absolutely. Many couples use Wedding Memory as a standalone platform for collecting guest photos and videos plus a digital guestbook — without any professional content at all. You create your wedding page, print the QR code, place it at your venue, and guests do the rest. If you later receive professional video or photo content from your videographer or photographer, you can upload it to the same page at any time. Everything lives together in one place, whether it comes from a professional or from Uncle Steve's phone.

Wedding Memory works on any smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer with an internet browser. It is a Progressive Web App (PWA) that runs in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Samsung Internet, Edge, and all major browsers. No app download is needed. The experience is specifically optimized for mobile viewing with a vertical swipe feed similar to TikTok or Instagram Reels, but it also works well on tablets and desktops. It supports both iOS and Android devices.

After creating your wedding page, you download the QR code from your dashboard as a high-resolution image file suitable for professional printing. Common placements include: table cards at each reception table, a framed sign at the venue entrance or welcome table, the bar or dessert table, the photo booth area, or printed on the back of the ceremony program. The QR code works at any size — from a small table card to a large framed poster. When guests scan it with their phone camera, the Wedding Memory experience opens instantly in their browser.

Yes. When you or your videographer or photographer upload their professional content to your wedding page, guests who have scanned the QR code or enter your personal web address 'your-names.wedding-memory.com' see both professional content and guest uploads in one unified gallery. Professional content can be organized by chapters (Ceremony, Reception, Speeches, First Dance, etc.) and displayed prominently. Guest uploads appear alongside the professional work. This means the cinematic highlight reel and the candid dance floor clips from Aunt Betty's phone all live in one beautiful, organized place. All your guests can access them from anywhere.
