Top 3 Photosharing Sites for Weddings

One of the most popular wedding trends right now is for guests of the couple to share pictures of the event online, most often while the wedding is still taking place. There are several apps that have developed over the years to make this process effortless and fun for guests. In this post we will cover three of the most popular apps currently in use.

1. wedpics.com:
This site is free and allows for you to collect all of your pictures online in one convenient space without having to search all over. They also allow you to break the wedding down into albums based on the events. For instance, you can have an album dedicated completely to the bridal shower, another for the bachelorette party, one of the ceremony, and so on. Pictures are also downloadable to your computer or smart phone. Guests do have to login using your unique wedding ID.

2.trycapsule.com:
Capsule is similar to wedpics.com in that it is free to use, works on most smartphones, and requires a unique ID for guests to locate your wedding capsule. It also connects to Instagram ( a popular photosharing site and the next one we will discuss), facebook, and pinterest. Capsule also allows you to print pictures via an online marketplace. They create a slideshow for you that can be projected and shown during the reception for example. And if you choose to capture images via a professional digital camera instead, you can upload those as well via your computer.

3. Instagram:
Instagram is insanely popular right now and many brides and grooms are using this platform to have guests share pictures from their weddings. Unlike the other photosharing sites, many people already have an account on Instagram and are already familiar with how it works. Many couples are just selecting a hashtag to collect all of their wedding pictures that guest may upload. The hashtag phenomenon is really cute because it allows the couple to create a unique name or identity to label their wedding. The main hazard is that you have to ensure that the hashtag is very unique or it could be in use by another couple and you will end up with a collection of photos that are not entirely your own. Instagram also only allows you to upload pictures via smart phone.

Which platform do you think you would choose? They all have their benefits and disadvantages and you probably honestly cannot go wrong with any of them. They all provide a fun way to see and share your pictures with the world in real time.
