Do my guests need to install an app?

Zero. Everything works in the phone browser. Scan the QR code, type your name, start shooting. Even your 70-year-old aunt can do it.

How do I download the photos after the event?

One click. When the event ends, you get a link to download all photos in high quality. No more chasing guests for their pictures.

What if the venue Wi-Fi is slow or goes down?

Mevli saves photos on the guest's phone and uploads them automatically once the signal stabilizes. Zero photos lost, even with spotty internet.

Who can see the photos from my event?

Only guests who joined the event (and you, the host). Photos are never public, and location data is automatically removed from every image.

How do missions and the leaderboard work?

Each event type comes with pre-made missions — like "photograph the couple without them noticing" — and you can create your own. Completed missions earn XP, and the live leaderboard shows who's shooting the most. At the end, you can award the winners.

How much does it cost? Is it a subscription?

One price per event, no subscription. Start free with up to 10 guests, or choose Pocket Party ($9.90, up to 30 guests) and Grand Events ($19.90, everything unlimited).

What if someone uploads an inappropriate photo?

You can remove any photo with one tap and ban the guest instantly. You're always in control.

Do I need to ask each guest individually to send their photos?

No. With a centralized gallery via QR code, guests upload the photo right when they take it, with no follow-up request needed — it solves the problem before it even exists.

Do photos from many different phones end up disorganized?

Not when there's a single entry point (the event gallery). Regardless of each guest's phone or operating system, the photo lands in the same feed, at the same original quality, with no extra compression from intermediaries.

How to Gather All Your Wedding Photos in One Place

Equipe MevliPublished on 2026-07-17

Gathering every wedding photo in one place is a logistics problem that only gets solved through centralization from the start of the event — trying to piece it all together afterward, digging through phone after phone, is always harder than preventing the scatter in the first place.

Why do wedding photos end up scattered?

Each guest takes photos on their own phone, stores them in the camera roll, and only shares them if they remember to — and even then, usually only to the family WhatsApp group, not directly to the couple. The result: dozens of small, isolated collections, most of which never reach the couple.

Why the WhatsApp group doesn't solve it

WhatsApp groups automatically compress image quality, mix photos in with text messages (making them hard to find later), and depend on every guest remembering to send theirs. A few weeks in, most people simply forget.

How a centralized gallery fixes the problem at the root

Mevli creates a single entry point: the event's QR code. Every photo taken by any guest, on any phone, automatically lands in the same gallery — with no one needing to remember to share it later, because sharing is baked into the act of taking the photo itself.

No more asking for photos in the group chat

With Mevli, every guest becomes a photographer and photos show up live — no app, no signup.

The difference between "asking for photos later" and "centralizing during"

Asking for photos after the wedding is a race against collective forgetting — every day that passes, fewer people respond to the request. Centralizing during the party eliminates that race: the photo is born in the right place the moment it's taken, with no extra step.

What to do with the photos once they're centralized

After the event, the centralized gallery allows bulk download of every photo, organization by who took it or which mission was completed, and permanent access for the couple and guests to revisit whenever they want — with no need to ask anyone again.

Photos scattered across ten different phones are potential memories lost. Centralizing from the very first click is the only way to make sure nothing disappears.

Your next event will be remembered — literally
