Organising Your Wedding Photo Gallery With Albums

A single, unsorted gallery works fine at 50 photos. At 500, it stops being something anyone actually browses, it becomes an endless scroll. Albums fix that, and they're entirely optional if you'd rather not bother.

Natural album splits

Most weddings sort naturally into a handful of moments: getting-ready, ceremony, reception, dance floor. You don't need more structure than that unless you want it. A handful of clearly named albums does more for browsability than a dozen narrow ones.

Letting guests choose an album when they upload

When a guest uploads a photo, an optional album picker lets them sort it themselves, if you've created any albums. Nobody's forced to pick one. An unlabeled "no album" option always exists, so a guest in a hurry can still upload without slowing down to categorise anything.

What happens to unsorted uploads

Nothing gets lost. Anything uploaded without an album selected sits in a default, unsorted bucket, still fully part of your gallery, still downloadable, just not pre-sorted. You can move things into albums later if you want to clean it up, or leave it as-is.

Reviewing and reorganising after the event

Albums aren't locked in during the event. After your wedding, when you're going through everything, you can create new albums, move photos between them, or leave the whole gallery as one unsorted collection if that's genuinely easier for you.

Entirely optional

None of this is required to use the gallery well. If you'd rather guests just upload into one pile and you sort it (or don't) afterwards, that works exactly as well. We built albums because some hosts want structure and some don't, and the gallery should work either way without making the choice for you.
