Free Guest Photo Request Messages
Ready-to-send messages that get guests to actually share their photos — before, during, and after any event.
Messages for your wedding
6
Getting photos back is mostly about when you ask, not how. The morning-after message is the one that works hardest and the one most hosts never send.
With the invitation
Sets the expectation early, so nobody is surprised by a QR code on the day.
We are collecting photos from everyone at wedding. No app to install — there will be a code to scan on the day, and everything gets revealed to us together afterwards.
The week before
Lands while people are still reading messages about the event.
Nearly there. One small favour: take photos on the day. There will be a code on the tables that puts them all in one place, and we would love your view of it.
The morning of
Primes people before they arrive, while their phone is already in hand.
Today is the day. Look for the code when you arrive — every photo you take goes into the same place, and we get to see it all together later.
During the event
Short enough to read on a group chat, or to be announced out loud.
If you are taking photos tonight, scan the code on your table — it puts them all in one place for us.
The next morning
The highest-yield message of the set, and the one most hosts never send.
Thank you for being there — it was everything we hoped for. If you have photos still sitting on your phone, please add them here: [your event link]. We would love to see what you saw.
A few days later
Catches the people who meant to and forgot. Always worth sending once.
Last nudge, promise. If you have any photos from wedding still on your phone, we would love them: [your event link]
Your event
Add your link and the two messages that need it will include it.
Why it helps
- Six messages covering the whole event, not just the day itself
- Rewritten for a text, a group chat, or an email
- Includes the morning-after message most hosts forget to send
Where the link goes
These messages only work if the link opens something easy.
OnceRoll opens straight into a camera in the guest's own browser — no app, no account — and keeps everything sealed until you reveal it together.

Frequently asked questions
Guest Photo Messages questions
How do you ask guests to share their photos?
Ask more than once, and make each ask tiny. One line with a link beats a paragraph explaining a system, and the number of photos you get back depends far more on when you ask than on how you word it.
When should we ask for photos?
The morning after is the single most productive moment — people are still thinking about it and their camera roll is full. Ask again a few days later for everyone who meant to and forgot.
Will guests need an app?
Not with OnceRoll. Guests open a link or scan a code and the camera opens in their own browser, which is what makes a one-line message enough.
