Your photographer nails the vows and the first dance. The rest of the night, your uncle's dance moves, the flower girl asleep under a table, lives on your guests' phones, and you'll never see it. Findyst turns photo collection into a game they'll actually play, so you get every shot the morning after.
Weddings are logistics stacked on logistics, and photography is usually the first budget to shrink. Couples pay for a few key hours: getting ready, the ceremony, maybe the first dance. Everything after that, the toasts, the dance floor, the 11pm chaos, goes uncaptured by anyone with a real camera.
We built Findyst after watching couples beg guests to drop photos into a shared drive link, and getting back only a fraction of the night. A few cousins upload their camera roll. Everyone else forgets, or the photos just stay buried on their phone forever.
So we built a way to make guests want to take photos on purpose, all night. Turn photo collection into a game with challenges, points, and a leaderboard, and the pictures land in one place automatically, no reminder texts required.
Every couple planning a reception runs into the same three walls.
You can't afford a photographer for the whole reception, so the dance floor, the toasts, and the late-night chaos go uncaptured.
Findyst turns your guests into the photographers. Every candid moment becomes a challenge, and the photos land in your account automatically.
Asking guests to text you photos, or drop them in a shared folder, gets you a dozen blurry pictures a week later, if that.
Guests join a live game instead of a favor. They're competing for points, not doing you a chore, so they actually take and submit the photos.
You're worried your grandmother or your groom's ten-year-old nephew won't be able to figure out an app during the reception.
There's no app. Guests scan a QR code and they're playing in their phone browser in seconds. It works the same for an 8-year-old or an 80-year-old.
Drop it into the parts of the night that already have downtime.
Print the QR code on a table card or the welcome sign. Guests scan it while they're waiting for the reception to start, no downloads, no lines.
Between courses and speeches, guests knock out a few challenges from their seats. It fills the lulls that usually mean everyone's just on their own phone anyway.
Turn on Live Photo Slideshow mode and project submissions on a screen near the bar or dance floor. Guests watch their photos go up in real time and start hunting for the next shot.
Download every submitted photo in one click, no chasing guests, no dead shared-drive links. Share the final leaderboard with everyone who played.
Set up whatever gets you the photos you actually want. Here's where most couples start.
A photo with someone you just met tonight
Get the DJ to shout out your names on the mic, selfie required
A group photo with everyone sitting at your table
The best dance move on the floor, mid-motion
A close-up of a centerpiece or table detail we spent way too long picking out
A selfie with someone over 60 and someone under 12
Convince a bridesmaid or groomsman to strike a pose
The moment right after the bouquet or garter toss
From the flower girl to your grandfather, if they have a phone, they can join.
Guests scan a QR code and start playing in their phone's browser. No app store, no account, no password to remember mid-reception.
Not everyone wants to play, and that's fine. The live slideshow and spectator link let grandparents, kids, or anyone just watching follow along without joining the game.
Venue wifi is never reliable. Photo uploads run quietly in the background and finish whenever a signal shows up, so nobody loses a submission because the ballroom's connection dropped.
“We got photos back from the reception we didn't even know existed: my dad dancing, my college roommates crying laughing at the bar. Way better than what a hashtag would've gotten us.”
No. Guests scan a QR code and play in their phone's browser, with no app store and no account.
Print the QR code on a table card, the welcome sign, or a small stand near the guest book. Anyone with a smartphone and a browser can join in seconds, and there's nothing for them to install or delete afterward.
Yes. If she can take a photo with her phone, she can play Findyst.
There's no login screen, no menus to dig through, and no app update to fight with. And if she'd rather just watch, the live photo slideshow lets her follow along on the big screen without ever joining the game.
You do, or whoever you designate. Turn on strict mode and every photo gets approved before it's visible.
You, your maid of honor, or a trusted friend can review submissions from a phone during the event. Nothing appears on the live slideshow or leaderboard until it's approved, and you can delete anything at any time.
Download every submitted photo in one click from your organizer dashboard.
There's no waiting on guests to upload anything after the fact. Every photo submitted during the game is already sitting in your account, organized by challenge, ready to download the morning after.
No. Findyst covers what your photographer can't be everywhere for, not the other way around.
Your photographer handles the formal shots and the moments they're positioned to catch. Findyst captures everything happening across the room at the same time: different tables, the dance floor, the bar. All of it straight from your guests' phones.
