Why every wedding needs photo challenges
Your wedding photographer captures the big moments — but they can't be everywhere at once. The spontaneous hug at the next table, the fit of laughter in the corner, the first dance seen through your best friends' eyes: those shots only happen when your guests pick up the camera themselves.
Print the challenges as a table card, or collect them digitally: with a QR code from Albumora, every photo lands automatically in your shared album, instead of staying scattered across dozens of phones.

Tip for printing
Print the challenges as a small card for each table. Add the QR code so photos land straight in the shared album.
How to run photo challenges digitally
Instead of hunting down every photo from your guests' phones afterwards, Albumora collects everything automatically in one place — by QR code, no app, and hosted on GDPR-compliant EU servers.
- 1Create an album — you'll get a QR code and a short link straight away.
- 2Show the QR code — on table cards, next to the challenge list, or in the order of service.
- 3Guests scan it with their phone camera and open the page in the browser — no app, no account.
- 4They complete the challenge and upload the photo.
- 5After the wedding, download everything in full resolution.
What does the digital collection cost?
The list is and stays free. If you want the photos collected automatically, you pay Albumora once per album, from €29, with no subscription. Taking part is always free for your guests.
Frequently asked questions about wedding photo challenges
- What are wedding photo challenges?
- Photo challenges are small tasks your guests complete with their phone camera during the celebration — like “take a photo of the first dance” or “find three guests you don't know yet”. That produces shots no single photographer could ever capture.
- How many photo challenges do I need for a wedding?
- As a rule of thumb, 15 to 25 challenges are enough for a table card. Pick a good mix of classic, fun and romantic ones.
- How do I run the challenges digitally?
- You set up an album with Albumora and get a QR code. Place it on the tables. Guests scan it, complete a challenge and upload the photo straight to the shared album — no app, no sign-up.
- What does it cost?
- The list is free. For digital collection you pay once per album, from €29. Taking part is always free for your guests.
