Disposable camera alternative
Every disposable-camera shot. Without the disposable cameras.
Disposable cameras cost more, take a week to develop, and half the roll is unusable. A QR gallery captures the same candid photos with none of the waste — for $29 total.

Why this doesn’t work today
- ✗You're spending $100-200 on 15-20 disposable cameras that guests forget on the table.
- ✗A week of waiting to see the shots. Then paying more to develop them.
- ✗Half the roll is blurry, dark, or 5 shots of the ceiling.
- ✗No videos. No first-dance clips, no toasts you can actually hear.
- ✗One roll per camera means guests can't shoot freely.
The QR Maker approach
A shared QR gallery captures the same candid, no-photographer-required magic — from the phones every guest already has. Full-resolution photos, videos of the toasts, live slideshow on the venue TV, ZIP download the next morning. $29 total. One camera per guest, unlimited shots each, results before you leave the reception.

Frequently asked
Isn't part of the charm the surprise of disposable cameras?
Some couples love the wait — but you can achieve the same effect by not looking at the gallery until Monday. Cost, videos, and full resolution win most of the time.
What about the candid, low-fi look?
Guests still shoot with their phone cameras — the look depends on how you ask them to shoot. A note on the tent like 'no filters, just candid shots' works better than you'd expect.
Are disposable cameras actually more expensive?
Yes. Fujifilm disposable is ~$15 per camera. 15 cameras = $225 + developing. QR Maker is $29 total, unlimited guests, unlimited shots.
