Can you collect wedding photos for free?

Try what you already have

Start with a shared folder or album you already use. Ask a guest to contribute from their phone, using only the invitation you plan to send. If that experience works for your group and meets your privacy and download needs, you may not need another product.

Check the actual free allowance

For example, Kululu currently lists a free plan with up to 50 photo and video uploads, seven-day storage and a 24-hour active window from the event date. Check the current plan before relying on it; a small event and a large wedding have different needs.

WedUploader supports original-quality photo and video uploads into the host’s Google Drive. Its site says storage capacity depends on that Drive account. A service saying ‘free for guests’ does not by itself tell you what the host will pay.

Compare the whole experience

Check guest sign-in, video limits, who can view the album, the download process and the deletion date. Try a real upload and download before your event.

their.photos is a paid event album with photos and videos included. You pay once, share the QR code and collect files without requiring a guest app or account. The price and download window are shown before booking.

Questions people ask

Do free options support videos?

Some do. Kululu’s listed free allowance includes photos and videos. Check the current plan’s file limits and storage period.

Is it free for guests?

Yes. The host pays for the event; guests do not pay to upload.

Should we pay for a collection service?

Only if its guest experience, privacy controls and download process are worth the price to you. Test your existing shared album first if you are unsure.
