Sometimes it’s the wedding guests that end up with all the good photos of that special day. While a professional photographer is always necessary, they don’t always capture the candid shots that guests do. Enter Olapic, a company that lets users get pictures from their wedding guests to share and print.
After couples upload their guests’ email addresses on Olapic, the company sends out a reminder to guests telling them to bring their cameras to the wedding. After the wedding, Olapic contacts guests, asking them to upload any pictures they’ve taken for the newlyweds to see and download.
