For ten years the standard advice was "print your wedding hashtag on the menu". It rarely worked: guests forgot, mistyped the tag, or shared to a feed only their friends saw. QR-code photo sharing fixes all three problems, and it's the approach PhotoChallenge is built around.
What guests actually do
- They open their phone camera and point it at the card.
- The camera shows a notification; they tap it.
- A web page opens with the prompt and an upload button. No app, no login, no account.
- They pick a photo from their camera roll (or take a new one) and upload.
From scan to uploaded photo: about 15 seconds.
Why it works better than the alternatives
- vs hashtags: photos arrive in your gallery, not somebody's algorithmic feed.
- vs shared albums: no Apple/Google account required, so older guests join in.
- vs disposable cameras: instant, sharable, and you can download originals.
