Friends Lens is a disposable camera photo-sharing app for weddings, birthdays, and events. Hand every guest a disposable camera without buying a single one. They scan a QR code, shoot a limited roll from their phone, and every photo lands in one shared gallery — styled, timestamped, and ready to relive together.
From wedding receptions to backyard birthdays, Friends Lens turns your whole guest list into photographers.
A QR code on the tables or in the program gives every guest a disposable camera for the night. Capture the ceremony, the reception, and the after-party from angles the photographer never sees — then reveal the shared gallery whenever you're ready.
Give every guest at the party a roll of film instead of asking them to text you their photos later. Set a shot limit, let the candids pile up, and open the gallery together when the cake comes out — or schedule the big reveal for later.
Corporate mixers, reunions, holiday parties, graduations — any gathering where you want a candid, crowd-sourced photo album without chasing down everyone's camera roll afterward.
Turning on Wedding or Birthday mode for your roll unlocks a full planning suite — guest list, seating chart, venue layout, and digital invitations — at no extra cost. It's the same free roll, just switched on for the parts of the day that happen before anyone picks up a camera.
Track RSVPs, plus-ones, and who-knows-who — all in one list instead of scattered spreadsheets.
Auto-generate tables from your guest list and connections, then drag to fine-tune by hand.
Upload a floorplan, drop in the pool, bar, and dance floor, then drag your tables into place.
Send RSVP-ready invites and watch responses roll in — no more chasing guests for a headcount.
Name your event, set a shot limit per guest, and choose when the gallery reveals.
A QR code links straight to a real camera in their browser — no app download, no account required.
Every shot lands in one shared gallery, organized by who took it and when — instantly or on a timer.
The host picks classic, black & white, or flash for each photo once the roll's done — nothing's permanent until you decide.
Every guest shoots from where they're standing — the gallery becomes the event, viewed through all your friends at once.
Show photos instantly, or lock the gallery until the big moment happens.
Each guest gets a real roll — 10, 15, 25, or 36 exposures, just like film.
Guests scan a QR code and start shooting straight from their browser.
Every guest's photos, organized in one place everyone can revisit.
Pricing scales with your guest count — see the full breakdown.
Everything hosts ask before starting a roll for their wedding, birthday, or event.
Yes. Friends Lens works great as a wedding photo sharing app — put a QR code on your tables or in the program, and every guest becomes a photographer. Their shots land in one shared wedding gallery you can reveal on your timeline, whether that's right after the reception or a few days later once you've had a chance to review everything.
Definitely. Birthdays, milestone parties, graduations, baby showers — anywhere you want guests capturing candid moments from their own point of view instead of just the host's camera roll. Set a shot limit per guest, pick a film style once the party's done, and share the gallery link with everyone who was there.
No. Guests scan a QR code and it opens a real camera straight in their phone's browser. No app store, no install, no account to create — they just start shooting.
No account required for guests. They enter a name so their photos are attributed to them, and that's it.
Yes. As the host, you choose whether the gallery reveals instantly as photos come in, or stays locked until a scheduled time — great for surprise reveals at a wedding reception or the big moment at a birthday party.
Free events keep photos for 30 days. Paid events — the size most weddings and larger parties need — keep photos for a full year, so you have plenty of time to revisit the gallery.
Small gatherings of up to 12 guests are free. Larger events, including most weddings, scale up from a few dollars based on guest count — see the full breakdown on our pricing page.
Just a smartphone with a camera and an internet connection (WiFi or cellular data) to open the link and upload their shots.
