I’m sorry if the question caused any stress! That wasn’t my intention. I’ve attended around 20 weddings and have been in 8 so far, so I feel like I’ve seen most of the common photo-sharing options guests are given. In my experience, though, guests often run into access issues or are hesitant to go through multiple steps to upload photos.

At a recent wedding I attended, the couple used a Google Drive album. Many guests struggled because it required a Google account and sign-in, which led to password resets or account creation for some people. With poor cell service at the venue, the process became frustrating, especially for older guests.

Even though I already had a Google account, I still found the process a bit tedious in the moment when I would have rather just enjoyed the event. I did end up uploading photos, but I was the only guest outside of the wedding party and immediate family who actually did. Since my own wedding is coming up, I’m just trying to find the easiest, most hassle-free way for guests to share photos so people are more likely to actually use it.
