Guest photos for your Hamburg wedding

Receptions along the river, ceremonies overlooking the harbour and parties on a ship are frequent in this city. On board distances are short, people stand close and photograph without pause.

Because uploads run through the browser, anyone can add their images later from the hotel if the signal drops while the boat is out on the water.

Here more than elsewhere the choice between an outdoor and an indoor version gets made late, sometimes on the morning itself. The photographer follows the chosen plan while guests record the switch.

It is precisely those frames that later tell how the day genuinely went, and they land in the same private gallery as the shots planned in advance.

Many couples here have guests from the surrounding area and from other cities. The digital invitation shows the schedule, the venue and the route, and collects replies with party size.

Anyone who replied opens the gallery with that same link on the day: one event holds the invitation, the list and the photos.
