You are looking for a unique wedding gift.
Not another mixer. Not a voucher they will forget. The couple already said it, in the kind of voice people use when they mean it: please, no more stuff.
They have objects. What they do not have is the night as the room saw it. Aunties at the table. The friend who cried in the kitchen. The dance that was not posed.
A unique wedding gift, if it is going to feel like one, has to be theirs. Guest photos of their people, on their day. Not another object for the cupboard.
Polajoy is that gift. A guest camera on the phones already in pockets. You set the wedding up. Free. Guests join with an event code and an account, so after the wedding the whole set can be sent. iPhone and Android.
Each guest shoots on a 30-shot roll. Ordinary guests hard-stop at 0. No second roll. If you nominate a photographer, the friend with the good eye, they can start another free 30-shot roll. Ordinary guests do not.
After each shot, ten seconds to Accept or Void. Timeout or a screenshot voids it. A void does not spend a frame. A short handwritten note is optional, up to 34 characters. Initials always go on the frame. Then it seals until the reveal they chose. Not even they see it first.
When the reveal arrives, the shop is there if they want paper. Nothing auto-ships. Free downloads carry a small wordmark. £2.99 takes it off. Prints never have it.
This is not the note on how to gift the camera so they host. That note is for mothers, maids of honour, and best men who gift the wedding camera, not another toaster. If you wanted the present framed as photos rather than the camera, there is a note on a gift of photos, not another thing. This one is the unique-gift search: guest photos of the night, not more stuff.
If the old unique idea was a bag of cameras on the tables, there is a note on a disposable camera wedding, without the disposable cameras.
Setup is free. Pay only if they want prints afterwards. Retroprints, a 12×12" layflat photo book, a wall frame with 16 or 25 apertures, thank-you cards. The complete guide walks through looks, table cards, and the reveal. These notes are written by Richard Lovatt, with Kitty. The rest live with the other articles.
A unique gift of guest photos is not the photographer of the day. Keep them. Names we have written up live on the directory, including London, Bristol, Manchester, and Brighton.
