One thing we learned is that even though our crowd is tech savvy, we still had to hound people to upload stuff after the fact.
It is something wedding photographers should offer. I've seen wedding photographers expand the traditional model and set up Purikura so people can take their own group photos: https://www.jrpass.com/blog/say-cheese-the-ultimate-guide-to... Pro photographers are ideally equipped for some the tough problems in wedding photography (the reception dinner that is poorly lit, large group photos, etc.) but there is going to…
The wedding photographer better be able to add an additional line item for services you are requesting. I have worked on site specifically for allowing group events to allow attendees to share their images directly from their phones. A QR code was provided that took them directly to the event's site. These images were available along with the professional photographers' images. It is A LOT of work. You're specificall…
(Kinda funny that my photographer friends online tend to automatically discount any software I've developed myself for image processing; a lot of them still think sRGB is the "standard" color space in 2023 despite mobile devices mostly being Display P3 for some time)
I have experimented with it as an alternative to Google Photos. It has a great Android app and the web UI is almost identical to Google. It includes facial recognition (it will group your photos automatically by face, but without sending that data to an advertising company!). I'm really impressed by it.

I haven't used the photo sharing features but I see it offered in the UI.
It is really easy to try: you can run it using docker-compose in about two minutes.
The only snag I have noticed is that the Android app will often get updated and that will then cause it to not work with the server. I have never had an issue when I just switched to the newer docker tag and restarted, but that's been a little frustrating. I suppose I should just disable automatic updates of the Android app to prevent this.
>If anyone from WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal/etc is reading this, I would pay a lot for a "Pro" account to have high-res photo uploads for my wedding/music festival/travel/etc group chats Doesn't Telegram allow full-resolution sharing of pictures out of the box ? Unfortunately, you'll probably get people sharing whichever way they're most comfortable with and have to ask them specifically for originals.
If everybody you need is on Whatsapp, I would probably try to create a read-only group (set posting permissions to you only) and let the PHP script share every uploaded photo to the group with a link to upload more.
Park service just put a big sign and called it a day.

Exactly, the wedding photographer ought to set you up with a "white label" version of the above web sites or just pick one out and set it up for you. I wouldn't expect them to code it up any more than I'd expect them to build a custom camera. On the other hand it ought to be part of the service because it is something they can do in a few minutes without thinking about it while the organizers could struggle with it.…
I've been at these events where attendees are actively asking people for assistance. My nightmare fuel was people actively seeking out the photog during the event for that assistance. Asking the photog to be tech support for this is not something that should be on their list of duties. The photog could possibly provide suggestions for the couple to use, and put the burden on them.
For building projects, we shared photos and videos with Cluster.
