WedPics: The Coolest New Photo App For Weddings

As a newlywed, one of the very best things is looking through your wedding photos and re-living the amazing moments that comprised your big day. What about all the photos your guests took with their phones and the photo booth? Some will appear instantly on Facebook, but some truly amazing shots will never be shared. That is until WedPics was created.

This awesome new company allows brides to share a code with their guests via invitation inserts (which did we mention are free?) or via email. The code allows guests to access the bride’s photo gallery and instantly shares any photos taken with the super cool app. The result? Every moment from every angle of your wedding is shared instantaneously with the bride and all of her invited users.

Newlyweds boarding the flight for their honeymoon can scroll through the hundreds of photos guests take and get a feel for how amazing the experience was well before their photographer can email them proofs. Any photo in the gallery can be downloaded and printed by the bride…making album creation that much more fun and easy!

Having personally met the founders of WedPics (whom we heart) we couldn’t help but share this innovative new wedding technology with all of our soon-to-be bride and newlywed readers. Pass the word on ladies!! I wish I had WedPics when I got married.
