Wedding photo sharing apps compared: GuestCam, Kululu, WedShoots, Waldo, Joy and POV
Six ways to get the photos your guests take at your wedding into one place, side by side, in each company's own words.
This guide is written by GuestCam, so read it knowing that. Every fact about another app comes from that company's own website or app listing, checked on 8 November 2026, with a link so you can check it yourself. Where a company does not say something, the table says so rather than guessing. Prices and features change, so check before you book.

Which one suits your wedding
- You already use Joy for your wedding website: its shared album is free and needs no guest accounts, and it keeps everything in one place.
- You want something free and your guests won't mind installing an app: WedShoots is free; guests use its app to scan your code.
- You want a large gallery kept for a year: Waldo's single event licence includes up to 50 GB of storage for one year.
- You like the disposable camera feel: POV is built around that, and is free for very small events.
- You want photos approved before they reach the screen, a slideshow cut to your own song afterwards, and someone in Australia you can ring: that is what GuestCam is built for.
What GuestCam adds
Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera, with no app and no account, and photos wait on the phone when the venue has poor signal and send themselves later. You can approve each photo before it appears on the live wall. When the night ends, your favourite photos (the ones you starred and the ones your guests loved in the album) become a slideshow cut to the beat of your own song. And with Digital Moments, GuestCam makes three films of your day for you, one by one, in professional film software: one for the TV, the same film for a phone, and an album that turns its pages, in the style you choose. The album stays online for 30 days after the wedding; download everything and it is yours to keep. See GuestCam for weddings.
Two different companies called GuestCam
GuestCam at guestcam.app is built and run by Toby Te Rupe in Orange, NSW, Australia, and costs $50 AUD an event. It is not associated with guestcam.co, a separate US company with a similar product and its own prices. If you read a review of “GuestCam”, check which one it means.
