The truth about most events
Most of your event lives on someone else's phone.
Three things happen at every meaningful event. Most hosts only learn about them after.
Your photographer is one person.
However gifted, they hold one vantage point. The whispered toasts, the half-laughs, the dance floor at midnight. Most of it happens elsewhere in the room.
Your guests are everywhere.
Their phones rival the cameras of a decade ago. Together, they see the angles you can’t.
And then everyone goes home.
Their photos stay on their phones. You receive the formal album, and a quiet feeling that you missed your own day.
The alternatives, considered
You've tried it all.
Here's why none of it kept.
Shared Google Drive / iCloud
Accounts. Logins. Permissions. Most guests close the tab before they’ve started.
×Event hashtag on Instagram
Catches the public posts. Misses the private moments, which is most of them.
×WhatsApp / iMessage group
Compressed thumbnails, buried under conversation. Search for one image, lose an evening.
×AirDrop
iPhone-only. Proximity-bound. Useless the moment your guests walk out.
×Other "event apps"
Ask guests to install something. Most won’t.
×GuestCanvas
One QR. Any phone. No download, no account. Every photo lands on one canvas. Automatically, and for keeps.
Three steps
Three steps. The rest takes care of itself.
Begin your canvas.
A name. A date. A QR code, ready in under a minute.
Place the QR.
On the welcome sign. On the table cards. On the save-the-date. Anywhere your guests will look.
Watch it fill.
Photos and videos arrive in real time. Originals to download, whenever you need them.
Friction is the enemy.
If a guest hesitates for more than a moment, we’ve missed.
You own what’s yours.
No paywall. No held-back photos. Lifetime access on the right plan.
Private by default.
Uploads stay within your event. Never a public feed. Add a password, if you’d prefer.
Beautiful, by design.
Considered enough to feel like yours. Simple enough for anyone to use.
For every kind of gathering
One canvas. Every kind of occasion.
Most chosenWeddings
The whole day, from every guest who lived it. Every dance, every vow, every quiet moment between them.

Birthdays & milestones
Sixteens, thirties, seventieths, ninetieths. Quinceañeras, retirements, anniversaries. Every milestone deserves to be remembered.

Group trips
Bachelor weekends, family reunions, the friend trip you’ve been planning for a year. One canvas, so no one has to send anyone anything afterward.
