Barefoot on the sand.
Every photo from every phone, in one place.
This page is for couples marrying on the sand at Byron, on the Mornington Peninsula, at Noosa, in Margaret River or on a Perth beach at sunset, with the reception at the surf club or under a marquee behind the dunes. A beach wedding has no walls: guests spread along the sand, the wind takes the veil, and the phones come out from the moment the bride walks down the path through the dunes. Half the guests flew in from interstate and some from overseas, and their photos leave with them. One QR code on the welcome sign keeps every angle, and the family who could not make the flight from London watch the vows live.
One-time. No account needed to buy — about a minute.
The moments guests actually photograph at beach weddings
Why beach weddings work better on Picsui
Written for the person hosting this one, and checked against what the product actually does.
London watches the vows before dawn
A four o'clock ceremony in Sydney is somewhere between five and seven in the morning in London depending on the season, so the private live broadcast included with the Event Pass matters twice. Grandparents in the UK, Italy or Greece set an alarm and watch the vows on one private link, and the ones who could not manage the hour watch the replay, available afterwards as the Broadcast Recording add-on.
Three days on the coast, one code
A coastal wedding is rarely one day: welcome drinks on Friday, the ceremony and surf club reception on Saturday, barefoot bowls or the recovery brunch on Sunday. Add each as a sub-event under the same code and the photos stay organised by day while every guest, interstate or local, uses the one link they already scanned.
Midday light the phones handle
Harsh light on white sand at two in the afternoon is the light most beach weddings are actually held in, and the phones in guests' pockets do fine in it. Their photos upload at full resolution, HEICs included, and the originals are what you download: the squinting groomsmen, the veil going sideways, the sunset from the rocks after the photographer has packed up.
No app. No account. One scan.
Guests point their camera at a QR code and are uploading in seconds. Nobody installs anything, nobody creates a login, and the grandparents can do it as easily as the teenagers.
Broadcast it to the people who couldn't come
A private live broadcast is included with the Event Pass: stream up to 90 minutes to 100 viewers on a private link, with sound, and keep the recording afterwards.
Several days, one gallery
Multi-day celebrations get sub-events under one code, so the rehearsal, the ceremony and the brunch stay organised but reachable from a single link.
Guest list and RSVPs in the same place
Import your list, send each guest a personal invite link, collect replies and party sizes, and check people in at the door from your phone.
unlimited photo and video uploads
Every guest can send as much as they like: phone photos, iPhone HEICs, short videos, up to a fair-use bound of 25 GB per event. Originals are kept at full resolution.
Full-resolution downloads
Download any photo, or the whole event as one archive, at original quality. What guests uploaded is what you keep — no compression, no watermark on paid events.
How it works
Set up in a minute. Collect for the whole event.
Create the wedding as one event and add the welcome drinks, the ceremony, the reception and the recovery brunch as sub-events, so one code covers the weekend.
Put the QR code on the welcome sign at the top of the beach path, on the surf club tables and on the brunch menu. Send interstate guests the link with the RSVP.
Guests upload through the vows, the sunset photos and the dancing. Send the private broadcast link to the family overseas the day before with the local time worked out.
After the brunch, share the gallery with every guest who flew home, and download the originals as one ZIP before the photographer's set arrives.
Try uploading as a guest.
Scan this with your phone the way a guest at your event would. Choose a sample photo and upload it from your browser, then open the demo gallery to see it land. Photos pass a quick AI check first; videos wait for a person.
- Scan the code with your phone camera — it opens straight in the browser.
- Upload a sample photo. Look for the upload confirmation so you know it reached the host.
Use a sample you are comfortable sharing with Picsui. Please keep personal or sensitive photos out of the demo.

Getting the most from beach weddings
Wind is the beach wedding's real guest, and it decides where the QR code can live. A sign on an easel at the top of the beach path blows over; a code printed on the ceremony program, the welcome bag and the surf club table cards does not. Guests scan it while they wait for the ceremony to start and then every later photo is one tap. Interstate guests should get the link before they fly, in the same message as the RSVP and the accommodation details, so they are uploading from the welcome drinks on Friday rather than remembering on the plane home.
Work out the broadcast times before you send the link, because the relatives overseas are the people it is for and the time zones are cruel. A four o'clock ceremony on the Mornington Peninsula is early morning in London, Athens and Beirut, late morning in Delhi, and early evening in Auckland. Put the local time for each family in the message with the link. Set the phone that is streaming on a tripod in the sand, upwind of the aisle so the microphone catches the vows rather than the gusts, and let a cousin watch the frame. Anyone who sleeps through it has the replay as the Broadcast Recording add-on.
Make the weekend one event with sub-events rather than three separate codes. Guests who scanned at the welcome drinks are already in on Saturday and Sunday, the photos sort themselves by day, and the couple gets one gallery instead of three to merge. The recovery brunch and the barefoot bowls produce the most relaxed photos of the whole weekend, and they are the ones most likely to be lost because everyone is checking out of the holiday house at the same time. Download the full archive once the last interstate guest has uploaded from home, usually about a week later.
Common questions about beach weddings
Do our guests from interstate and overseas need an app?
No. Anyone points the phone camera at the QR code and the upload page opens in the browser, with nothing to install and no account to create. Guests from the UK, New Zealand or India use it exactly as the locals do, and the page appears in English, Español, Français depending on the phone's settings. Guests who fly home on Sunday can keep uploading from the airport or from home, and the same link shows them the finished gallery.
Can family in the UK watch the ceremony live?
Yes. A private live broadcast is included with every Event Pass: up to 90 minutes and 100 viewers on one private link, with sound, watched from a phone or a TV browser with no account. The catch is the hour; a late-afternoon ceremony on the east coast is the small hours or early morning in Britain. For the family who cannot be up at five, a replay is available afterwards as the Broadcast Recording add-on, and they see the finished gallery from the same link.
Byron and the Peninsula have patchy signal on the beach. Will uploads fail?
They wait rather than fail. An upload queues on the guest's phone and finishes when the phone finds signal again, usually by the time everyone has walked back up to the surf club, so the ceremony photos arrive a little late rather than not at all. The reception venue's Wi-Fi speeds things up; put the network name on the same table card as the QR code. Uploads go straight to storage, so two hundred guests sending sunset photos at once do not slow each other down.
Can we keep the gallery to guests only?
Yes, and it is that way by default. The gallery is reachable only by the link or code you share, it is never listed publicly, and guest pages are blocked from search engines and named AI crawlers. Turn on host review if you want to approve photos before the interstate table sees them, remove any photo at any time, and close uploads when the weekend is over. Every original can be downloaded in one ZIP before the 365-day hosting ends.
What does it cost for a wedding weekend with three events?
One Event Pass at $29 covers the whole weekend, because sub-events are part of the same event and the price does not change with the guest count or the number of days. It includes unlimited uploads with a 25 GB fair-use bound, the private broadcast, the guest list with RSVPs, full-resolution downloads and 365 days of hosting. Prices are in US dollars; where Stripe offers it, checkout shows the exact total in Australian dollars before you pay.
