You decide when the cameras roll
Control exactly when guests can upload.
Most photo apps are all-or-nothing. Gather Shot lets you set the schedule. Open the gallery early to capture the anticipation, keep it live for the main event, and leave a window open for late arrivals.
You set the start and end times, and our system handles the rest—even across time zones.
Automatic timezone handling
Don't miss the moments before (or after) the party
Events don't just happen during the main ceremony. The excitement starts with getting ready, and the memories continue long after the last dance.
If you only collect photos during the event, you miss the candid prep shots and the "morning after" brunch photos.
Gather Shot gives you a flexible window. You can start collecting days in advance and keep the gallery open for up to 60 days, ensuring no memory gets left on a camera roll.
Set it and forget it
Pick your start time
Open the gallery a few days early. Guests can upload travel photos or "getting ready" shots to build hype.
Let it run
Uploads stay open through the event. Guests share in real-time without you lifting a finger.
Close the window
Set an automatic cutoff up to 60 days later. Capture late uploads without leaving the gallery open forever.
Why This Feature Matters
Pre-event excitement
Start the party early. Let guests upload photos of their outfits, their travel journey, or the rehearsal dinner. It builds anticipation before the main event starts.
Catch the stragglers
We all have that friend who forgets to share photos until next week. With a 60-day window, you can keep collecting memories long after the confetti is swept up.
Lock it down
When the event is over, it's over. Once your window closes, the gallery becomes view-only. You preserve the collection without worrying about random uploads months later.
Best For These Events
This feature works particularly well for these event types
Weddings
Open the gallery on Friday for the rehearsal dinner and keep it open through the Sunday brunch.
Conferences
Start collecting during registration and keep uploads open for a week so attendees can share slides and notes.
Camp/Retreats
Capture the journey to the venue and the journey home. A wide window tells the whole story.
