Shared albums can work for organized friend groups. For weddings and large events, a private QR gallery is easier: scan, send, and let the host decide what opens later.

Timing
Shared albums often depend on a reminder after the event. Gooya puts the prompt in the room so guests contribute when the memory is fresh.
Privacy
A shared album usually makes browsing part of contributing. Gooya separates those actions: guests can add, while the host controls viewing and sharing.
Curation
Private curation matters for weddings, memorials, and family events. Gooya lets the host hide, delete, download, and reveal with more intent than a public shared album.
Best fit
If ten friends already use the same photo platform, a shared album may be enough. If a whole wedding needs one simple instruction, Gooya is built for that room.
No. Guests scan one QR code and nobody installs an app or makes an account. On an iPhone in Safari, Gooya's own camera opens without downloading any app, with a dial of cameras: Reaction, Faces, Reel, Video, Photo, Boom and Rewind. Android phones, older iPhones and in-app browsers use the web camera, into the same private album. Guests can also send from their own library.
Not by default. Guests see nothing until the host sends the album (the default); then they can view and react for 24 hours. At the event they send their own memory, see that it landed, and go back to it. The private album belongs to the host.
Yes. The host can download the visible memories in one ZIP, including the original photo and video files Gooya stores for the event.
“I cried when I saw my mom's reaction to the father-daughter dance — the dual camera caught the dance and her face in the same shot. I'd never have gotten that myself.”
“The best part was seeing real footage from real people, not just the photographer's version of the night.”
“It didn't dump hundreds of photos onto my phone and eat my storage — I got to pick exactly what I wanted to keep.”
Feature
Gooya collects guest photos and videos into a private album controlled by the host, not a public feed or group chat.
Feature
Gooya lets hosts keep an event gallery sealed, reveal it instantly, or schedule a private reveal after the event.
Wedding photo sharing
