Choosing a handful of weddings

We'll pay you
to hand your wedding
to your guests.

Every guest's phone becomes a 30-shot film camera. Ten seconds to keep each photo or lose it forever, and nothing can be seen: not by them, not by you, until the moment you choose.

We're looking for a few real weddings to host it. If yours is one, we pay you, and you choose how: a fee up front, 10% of what your wedding orders in cash, or 15% in credit.

Weddings cost you money.
This one pays you back.

You're not paying to try something new, we're paying you to be one of the first weddings that runs it properly.

Option one

Cash

Straight into your account after the wedding. We agree the amount with you before you commit, no vouchers, no strings.

Option two

Credit & products

Store credit plus the physical things: retroprints of your day, a wall frame, a layflat album. Usually worth more than the cash.

✓ Free to set up ✓ Unlimited guests ✓ No booking fee ✓ Nothing auto-ships ✓ Keep every photo forever

Ten seconds.
Keep it, or lose it forever.

This is exactly what your guests see. One look, one decision, no retakes, the thing that makes people actually think before they shoot.

Try it yourself. Let the timer run out and see what happens.

Who we're looking for

We can only do this properly with a few weddings at a time, so we're picky, but not in the way you'd expect.

A real wedding, soon

Any size, any budget, anywhere in the UK. A date that's actually booked, not a maybe.

Guests who'll join in

The whole thing lives or dies on people picking up their phones. You know your crowd.

Honest feedback

Tell us what was rubbish as well as what worked. That's genuinely the trade, we're still learning.

What we're not asking for: a big following, a styled shoot, or you posting about us. If you have an audience, brilliant, tell us below. If you don't, it won't count against you.

Apply with your wedding

Two minutes. We read every one and reply either way, including if it's a no.

The essentials
How are you happy for us to get in touch?

We'll always reply by email. Tick anything else you're fine with, and leave them blank if email is the only thing you want.

The wedding
Your photographer
Socials, only if you have them

Three ways to be paid. You pick one.

Option one
A fee up front

Agreed with you before your wedding and paid once the day is over. It has nothing to do with what anyone orders. Nobody buys a single print and you are still paid the same. The safe one.

Option two
10% in cash

A tenth of everything your wedding orders in the 45 days from your day, paid by bank transfer. Your guests and family count, not just you.

Option three
15% in credit

The same sales, at a better rate, as Polajoy credit to spend on prints, frames and albums of your own. The biggest number of the three if you wanted prints anyway.

Tell us which you would rather have when we talk. It is locked in when we approve you, so it cannot move afterwards.

The deal, in plain English

  • On photo products bought from your wedding: prints, framed prints, canvases, collages, wall frames, photo books and cards, whether bought by you, your guests, or family through your shared gallery.
  • For 45 days, from your wedding day onwards.
  • Pre-wedding kits earn nothing. Table cards, place names and sample packs sit outside the window. You get 10% off them instead.
  • Counted net: delivery, refunds, gift cards and anything paid with store credit don't count.
  • Nothing to pay, ever. If your wedding sells nothing, you simply earn nothing, and you can never owe us.
