Collect photos before, during, and after the event
Some of the best photos happen before the main event starts and after it ends. Rehearsal dinners, getting-ready shots, after-parties, next-day brunches.
If you only collect photos during the event, you miss the candid moments that tell the full story.
Gather Shot lets you configure uploads before, during, and after the event. Check the actual closing date in your event settings before sharing a deadline.
How it works
How your upload window works
Keep uploads live during the event
Guests scan your QR code and upload in real time from any phone. No app required.
Close uploads automatically
Choose a duration within your plan limit and check the resulting closing date before inviting late submissions.
Why this feature matters
- Before the big day
- Collect rehearsal dinner, travel, setup, and getting-ready photos before the event starts. Build anticipation while the gallery fills up early.
- Time for late uploads
- Give guests time to find and share their best photos after the event instead of losing them in camera rolls. No more chasing people for their pictures.
- Automatic close date
- Uploads stop on schedule. Shared gallery viewing still depends on your visibility settings and storage period.
