Two ceremonies, hundreds of guests.
One gallery for all of it.
You are the couple, or more likely the bride's mother, running a traditional engagement for several hundred guests with a white wedding a day or a week later. The alaga is on the microphone, the aso ebi groups are arriving in waves, and the photographer cannot be at every table when the spraying starts. Put a QR code on every table and the guests, who are already filming, put it all in one place.
The moments guests actually photograph at Nigerian traditional weddings
Why Nigerian traditional weddings work better on Picsui
Written for the person hosting this one, and checked against what the product actually does.
Host review for a crowd of hundreds
With several hundred guests and a photographer who cannot see every table, phones are where the best moments are, and also where the unflattering ones are. Turn on host review and every upload waits for someone in the family to approve it before anyone else sees it, so the gallery the couple shares looks like the day they planned.
The traditional and the white wedding under one code
Whether the engagement is the day before or the week before, add it as a sub-event of the wedding and one QR code covers both. Photos sort by day, the aso ebi groups can find their own table shots, and there is one link to send to family afterward instead of two, with the same review queue for both.
Family in Lagos, London and Houston, watching live
There is always family who could not get a visa or a ticket in time. Live Pass streams the engagement or the wedding on a private link with audio, so the aunties abroad hear the alaga and see the couple's entrance as it happens. Up to 100 viewers for 90 minutes, and none of them needs an app.
You approve before anyone sees
Turn on host review and every upload waits in your queue until you approve it. AI screening flags anything questionable so you are not scrolling through hundreds of photos at midnight.
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.
Broadcast it to the people who couldn't come
Live Pass is a standalone $39 one-time add-on: stream up to 90 minutes to 100 viewers on a private link, with audio. Family abroad watch on any phone, no app required.
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.
unlimited photo and video uploads
Every guest can send as much as they like — phone photos, iPhone HEICs, short videos — with 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 and add the traditional engagement as a sub-event, so the family can print one code for both days.
Print the QR code on each table number and in the program, and ask the alaga or the MC to mention it once the couple is seated.
Guests upload through the ceremony, the dancing and the spraying. Family abroad watch on the private live link.
Approve uploads from your review queue, then download the full archive and send the gallery to both families.
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.
- 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.

This is the same kind of code your guests scan at your event.
Getting the most from Nigerian traditional weddings
Have the MC or the alaga announce the code, and have it on the tables before guests sit. At a Nigerian wedding the loudest voice in the hall is the one people obey, and a single announcement before the couple's entrance will get more uploads than any card. Print the code large on the table numbers rather than as a separate small card, because the tables are crowded and small cards go under the plates. If the aso ebi groups are seated together, mention that the gallery lets them find their group's photos afterward; those groups take more photos of each other than anyone else in the room, and they want them the same night.
Turn on host review, and give the review job to a specific cousin or the planner rather than to the couple. A hall of several hundred guests produces a very large number of uploads, and the spraying and the dance floor produce the ones that need a second look. Reviewing in batches during the meal and again the next morning keeps the queue manageable, and nothing appears in the shared gallery until it has been seen. The AI screening flags anything questionable so the reviewer is skimming rather than scrolling, and the approved photos can go straight onto a screen near the high table while the party is still going.
Send the live link to the family abroad with the actual start time, not the time on the invitation. Nigerian weddings run on their own schedule, and relatives in a different time zone will give up on a stream that shows an empty hall for two hours. Have someone message them when the couple is about to enter, and put the phone doing the broadcast near the speakers, so the alaga's questions and the family's responses come through clearly. Afterward, name an older relative who could not travel as a recipient and the finished gallery is emailed to them on the date you choose, with nothing to install and nothing to forward.
Common questions about Nigerian traditional weddings
The traditional engagement and the white wedding are on different days. Do we need two events?
No. Create the wedding once and add the traditional engagement as a sub-event, even if it is a week earlier or in a different city. Both days share one QR code, so the family prints once and the guests who attend both do not have to learn anything new, but the uploads are grouped by day so the engagement photos and the white wedding photos do not mix. One review queue, one gallery, one link to send to everyone afterward. If a different family is hosting the engagement and wants full control of its guest list and its gallery, give it its own event instead.
We have several hundred guests. Will the uploads run out?
An Event Pass includes unlimited uploads with a fair-use bound of 25 GB for the event, which is designed for exactly this kind of crowd. Photos are small; it is long videos of the dance floor that use the space, and even a large hall of guests filming the spraying stays well within it. Originals are kept at full resolution and there is no compression on a paid event, so what the guests uploaded is what you download. If you are ever close to the bound, the host dashboard shows usage so nothing is a surprise.
Family abroad cannot attend. Can they watch?
Yes. Live Pass is a $39 one-time add-on that streams from a phone at the venue to a private link, with audio, for up to 90 minutes and as many as 100 viewers. Family in London, Houston or Lagos open the link in a browser on any phone; there is no app to install and no account to create. Because a traditional wedding often runs long, decide in advance which part to stream, usually the couple's entrance, the alaga's questions and the prayers, and send the link with a realistic start time. The recording can be kept with the gallery for anyone who missed it live.
Can we control what appears in the gallery?
Completely. Turn on host review and every upload waits in a queue until you or someone you trust approves it, with AI screening flagging anything questionable first. Nothing that has not been approved is visible to guests. The gallery itself is private by default, reachable only by the link or code you share, and blocked from search engines and AI crawlers, so it is never going to appear in a search for the couple's names. You can close it to new uploads once the celebrations are over and keep it viewable for the family for 365 days.
What does it cost for both days?
One Event Pass at $29, paid once, covers the wedding and its sub-events, so the traditional engagement and the white wedding are included together, with unlimited uploads, host review, full-resolution downloads and 365 days of hosting. There is no subscription and no charge per guest, which matters when the guest list runs to several hundred. Live Pass, for family abroad, is a separate $39 one-time add-on. Compared with what is spent on aso ebi alone, it is a small line in the budget.
