The longer pieces, by kind of party

We keep these up to date. Under each one is the date it was last checked, because a guide with outdated rules is worse than no guide.

Where are your event's photos stored?

At a wedding almost nobody asks this. At a company party it is the question procurement gets stuck on, and rightly so, because at a lot of suppliers the answer is nowhere to be found.

Can we keep the album closed until after the wedding?

Yes. Guests upload all evening and get to see nothing, and you open the album at a moment you choose yourself. The price you pay for it is that those photos are not on the projector that night.

Collecting photos at a company party, including the GDPR side

After the party you need two things: pictures for the intranet and the careers page, and the certainty that nobody ends up in a photo who did not want to be. The same setup does both, if you configure it properly.

Collecting Christmas party photos without them ending up on LinkedIn

The fear is not abstract. It is that one photo of a colleague on his fourth glass, posted by a teammate who meant well. You head that off beforehand, not afterwards.

What does it cost to collect all your guests' photos?

Prices in this market run from nothing to about a hundred and thirty euros per event, and that gap is rarely about the quality of the photos. This guide shows what you are really paying for and which supplier is the better choice for which kind of party.

Will older guests manage a QR code?

This is the question you hear the moment you mention a QR code, and it usually gets waved away with a yes that comes too easily. The honest answer has three parts, and the third is the part nobody writes down.

Hiring a photo booth, or letting your guests upload?

You have already set money aside for a photo booth and now you are wondering whether that is the best place for it. They are two different products, and which one you want depends on what you want to be holding at the end of the night.

Every photo from the tournament in one place, the ones from the parents along the pitch included

On a tournament day there is a row of parents with a phone along every pitch, and by the evening the photos are spread over eight chat groups. This guide is about getting them into one album, who at the club arranges it, and what you do about the children from the opposing team.

Is a shared Google Photos album enough for your wedding?

At a wedding with eighty guests a shared album runs into three things: your guests have to sign in to add anything, the storage comes out of your own 15 GB, and what you are left with is one strip sorted by date. For a small party it is enough.

    Photo wall or slideshow: what goes on the screen in the room?

    Two ways of putting the same album on a screen. One asks for attention and does not always get it, the other asks for nothing and is watched all evening because of it. Which suits when, and how to set it up without the screen racing.

    What do you get out of putting your name on your photos?

    You can put your name under your uploads, and it is one tap on the panel you get once your photos are in. It is not required, but it turns a pile of files into an evening with people in it.

    How do you get hold of all your guests' photos after the wedding?

    You have had a day where eighty people walked around with a camera in their pocket. Those photos are sitting in eighty camera rolls now, and that is where they stay until somebody does something about it.

    How do you get guests to actually upload photos?

    This is the question the whole idea falls over on if you never ask it. The code works, the cards are out, and the next morning there are seven photos in there, four of them yours.

    Why do photos from the WhatsApp group arrive so grainy?

    Your guests dutifully send in their photos and what arrives looks perfectly fine on your phone, but falls apart on paper. That is not their camera and it is not their phone either.

    What do you write on the card next to the QR code?

    The code always works. Whether your guests use it depends on the eight words you put above it. Here are the lines you can copy, sorted by where the card sits and how formal your evening is.

    Where do you put the QR code so guests actually see it?

    A code nobody scans is not a technical problem, it is a placement problem. It is not about being visible, it is about the moment somebody already has their phone in their hand.

    You wait eight weeks for your wedding photos. What do you have that evening?

    Your photographer does the job properly and that takes time. Which is not the same as having nothing, because there were eighty other people recording the day.

    Disposable cameras, or just your guests' phones?

    The disposable camera is back on the wedding table, and not out of nostalgia alone. It does one thing a phone does not, and that one thing is exactly what you are looking for.

    Can you share photos of employees after the company party?

    Somebody takes a photo on Friday evening, and on Monday it is on the intranet. That is often allowed, but not automatically, and what you have to arrange depends on where the photo ends up.

    What may a club do with photos of members and children?

    A committee wants two things at once: pictures on the site and no trouble with parents. This piece sets out what the Dutch DPA (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) writes about it itself, and where practice in the Netherlands differs from what clubs assume.
