A guest camera is not a replacement for you.
If a couple is thinking about skipping a photographer because everyone has a phone, that is a bad plan. Phones without a job take the same three pictures. You still need someone who knows the light, the timings, the family groups, the walk back down the aisle.
Polajoy is for the pictures you were never going to take. The ones from inside the huddle. The ones from the table you have already left. The ones that only exist because a cousin was standing there.
Keep the job. Add a roll for the room.
How it actually works. Guests open the app, type a join code, add a name. A quick email sign-in, no password. A 30-shot roll. About ten seconds to keep or bin. No retakes. A short handwritten note if they want. Initials on the frame. Then the photo is sealed until the couple's reveal.
You, if they nominate you, sign in. Your film is yours. When a roll is gone you can start another, free. As many as you need. Those frames go straight to the couple.
That is the honest split. You still make the pictures that have to be made. Guests make the pictures that only guests can make.
Why would you want this on a job?
Because an unplugged ceremony still needs coverage, and a guest camera is a clean way to keep phones useful after the vows without turning the reception into a content shoot. Because you will not be at the after-party table. Because the couple will ask you, later, if anyone got the speech from the floor.
Because the set comes back as one film look, not a folder of untreated camera-roll shots. There are 12 looks. The couple picks one. Your frames and the guest frames sit together.
You do not have to run the guest side. Table cards and join codes are their problem, or their planner's. The complete guide has the setup. More notes live with the other articles.
After the reveal they can download everything free. A small wordmark, £2.99 to drop it. Prints never have it. Retroprints, a 12×12" layflat photo book, a wall frame with 16 or 25 apertures, thank-you cards. Setup is free. They pay only if they want those things.
If a couple wants Polajoy hosted for them, they apply. We are taking a handful of weddings, paid in cash or store credit and free products. We read every application.
Point them at the host page. Then go and do the job only you can do.
