Do we need a professional photographer as well?

Not necessarily. Some families still book one for formal portraits at the church, and the wall works alongside that just as well as on its own, simply as the place every guest's own photographs end up.

Can godparents who live far away still add photographs?

Yes. Anyone with the QR code or the guest link can add to the wall, including relatives who could not travel and are sent the link instead.

Do we need to show the wall on a screen during the day?

No, it is optional. Many families simply let photographs collect in the album and look at them afterwards; a screen at the lunch is a nice addition, not a requirement.

How do we get the photographs afterwards?

The whole album downloads as one file, in full resolution, from the dashboard, whenever you want it, ready to keep or send on to godparents and grandparents.

Will elderly relatives manage this without help?

Scanning only needs the phone's own camera, and the guest page itself is two buttons. Anyone who prefers can type the short address under the code instead.

A live photo wall for a christening

A christening is a small day, often just family and godparents, and everyone ends up holding a phone at some point: during the service, at the font, at lunch afterwards. One QR code lets every relative add what they caught, of the baby, the godparents and the room, to a single album, and a screen at the lunch can show them arriving as the day continues.

Christening

A day that is mostly family

A christening rarely has more than family and godparents in the room, and photography is usually left to whoever is standing nearby with a phone rather than a hired photographer. A shared wall gives that small group one place to add what they catch, so a grandparent's photograph from the pew and a cousin's from the doorway end up together instead of on a dozen separate phones nobody ever asks to see.

The baby, the godparents and the room

The moments people want are quick: the baby at the font, the godparents standing beside the parents, the first cry or the first laugh. No one photographer can be in the right place for all of them, but a relative who happens to be closest can add what they caught straight to the wall, and it appears next to everyone else's within seconds.

Lunch afterwards

Most christenings continue with a lunch or a small reception once the service ends, and that is usually where the photographs keep coming: godparents holding the baby, relatives who have not seen each other in a while, the cake if there is one. The same wall carries on through lunch, so the morning at church and the afternoon around the table end up in one album rather than two.

Grandparents and great-grandparents

No app: the phone's own camera reads the code.
No account: nobody is asked for a name or an email.
Two buttons on the guest page: take a photograph, or choose one already on the phone.
Works the same for a great-grandparent scanning a code for the first time as for a teenage cousin.
