Not everyone sees everything
The rehearsal dinner is only for the fifty-seven who were there. No second password, no link to leak — everyone else simply never knows it exists.
Share your wedding photos with everyone who was there.
Choose which ones to share. Every guest gets the photos they're in.

Nobody makes an account. Each household opens its own link, by name, on whatever phone they already own.
Nothing here expires. There is no renewal, no storage tier and no date on which any of it is deleted.
Everything comes back out at full resolution whenever you ask — or as a print from a professional lab, mailed to whoever ordered it.
Try it
A guest takes a selfie. They get every photo they are in.
Sixty frames on the wall here; the wedding we run had four hundred and sixty-six. Pick one of the three selfies and watch it answer.
Three guests, three selfies
A demonstration — these are stock photographs standing in for guests and their selfies, and the matches are fixed. The real thing runs on the faces in your own gallery.
All 60 frames
And then
They keep them, or they order them printed.
Full resolution, in one go, on the day they ask — or a print from a professional lab. Every frame is measured after the crop, not before, so nobody is offered a 16 × 20 their photograph cannot fill.
The problem
Most wedding galleries come with a deletion date.
It isn't a quirk, it's the business model — serving hundreds of full-resolution files to a hundred and thirty-nine people costs money every month, and a fee paid once cannot cover that forever.

Why ours is different
The bill that closes galleries is not the keeping. It is the handing back.
Every time a guest opens a photograph, somebody pays to send it, and that is the meter running under every gallery in this category. Yours sit somewhere that charges us nothing to hand a file back — so a gallery opened on every anniversary for thirty years costs us no more than one nobody opens again. One payment covers both, because both cost the same.
Opened once, on the honeymoon$299
Opened every anniversary for thirty years$299
A gallery platform charges your photographer $96–$600 a year, every year, and meters them by how much they are holding. That is the bill that eventually deletes somebody's wedding.
You paid for one day. You should still have it in thirty years.
How it works
Everything goes in. You choose what gets shared. Everyone gets a link.
Your photographer hands over about fifteen hundred files. That is where most weddings stop.
Search it the way you'd say it
Search for cake, first dance or grandma. It works because every frame was read as it arrived, not because anybody sat down and tagged them.
Prints, mailed to whoever wants one
A guest orders the photo they are in and a professional lab prints it and mails it. We work out what each frame can carry after the crop, so nobody is sold a 16 × 20 their photograph cannot fill.
It was theirs as much as yours.
How it differs
Your photographer, your guests, and you. Most products pick two.

Questions worth asking
Before you trust a place with the day.
Do my guests need an account?
No. No account, no app, no password. Each household gets its own link and it simply opens — which matters when a third of your guest list is over sixty.
What if my photographer already gave us a gallery?
Most of those expire, often at exactly twelve months, written into the contract. Yours lives here permanently, alongside the films and everything your guests took.
How do my guests actually get their link?
You send it. Text it from your own phone, so it arrives from a number they recognise, and we email the ones you have no number for. It never comes from your photographer, and never from us pretending to be you.
Can guests add their own photographs?
Yes, into the same place. The shots your photographer was never standing next to are usually the ones you did not know you wanted.
How big can it be?
No limit and no charge by size. Four hundred photographs or four thousand, an hour of film or ten.
Can I hide some of it from some people?
Yes. Restrict any album to the people who were actually there. Everyone else never knows it exists.
What happens if Afterglow disappears?
You can download everything, at full resolution, in one go, at any time. A promise to keep your photographs is worth nothing without a way to walk out with them.
