For delivering a wedding gallery
Delivering a wedding
A wedding is the one shoot a client reopens for years. The gallery you send has to still be there, and still look right on the phone it's opened on.
What a wedding delivery actually has to survive
A wedding is a few thousand frames from a dozen moments that do not feel alike: getting ready is quiet, the ceremony is formal, the reception is chaos. Dumping all of it into one undifferentiated grid makes the couple hunt for the parts they actually want to relive, and a lot of gallery tools stop at 'here is your folder.'
It is also the shoot most likely to be reopened long after delivery, by people who were not at the wedding: a couple's parents, a wedding party member who missed the link the first time, an album designer working from the couple's selects months later. If the link has quietly expired or degrades the image on their phone, that is the version of your work they see.
Chapters for the parts of the day
Break the gallery into named sections, getting ready, the ceremony, the reception, so a couple can jump to the part they want instead of scrolling past a thousand photos to find the first dance.
A link that still works months later
There is no expiry clock on it. A couple opening the gallery on their first anniversary sees the same gallery you sent the week after the wedding, not an expired-link page.
Full resolution for the people who print it
Every screen gets a visually lossless image up to 2560px, and one tap downloads the untouched original, so whoever ends up ordering an album from your gallery is working from the real file.
One zip for the whole delivery
A couple can download the full wedding as a zip instead of saving frames one at a time, and hand that same zip to family without re-explaining how your gallery works.
Let them mark their favourites
Couples and their families can favourite the frames they want, so your album-design selects come back as a list rather than a string of filenames typed into an email.
Nothing takes a cut, because there is nothing to take it
Photobari does not sell prints and has no storefront. So there is no commission on any plan — not a fee that was waived, but a cut that does not exist. If you sell an album or a print set off the back of a gallery, you sell it your own way and keep all of it.
Where Photobari is the wrong tool
If you need the couple to upload their own phone photos back to you, or run a guest-upload page during the reception, Photobari does not do that: it delivers your finished work, it does not collect files from anyone. The honest comparisons say this plainly rather than dodging it.
It also is not a studio suite. There is no contract, invoicing or questionnaire tooling here, and no print lab wired in. Photobari starts once the wedding is edited and ends at the gallery link.
And weddings are the shoot most likely to run into the ceiling. A free account has 5 GB, which is a delivery or two of full-resolution finals, not a season of them — and a paid account has 15 GB, not a terabyte. If you are archiving every wedding you have ever shot rather than delivering the current ones, this is the wrong size of tool and no amount of the above changes that.
The comparisons say where each alternative genuinely wins.
Questions
Can I split a wedding gallery into sections like getting ready, ceremony and reception?
Yes. Chapters let you break a long album into named sections so a couple can find the part of the day they're looking for instead of scrolling the whole gallery.
Does the gallery link expire after the wedding?
No. There is no expiry clock on a share link. A couple can open the same gallery a year later and see the same photos, unless you choose to set an optional expiry yourself.
Can family members download the whole wedding, not just individual photos?
Yes. Anyone with the link can download the full album as a zip file rather than saving each photo one at a time.
Do guests or the couple need an account to view the gallery?
No. A Photobari share link opens directly with no sign-up and no email capture. You can add a password or PIN if you want the gallery private.
