Live photo wall: animate your evening with guests' photos in real time

The live photo wall displays on a large screen the photos uploaded by guests, as the evening unfolds. It’s a silent host that creates emotion and encourages everyone to take part. Here’s how to use it.

What is a live photo wall

It’s a display, on a screen or projector, showing the latest photos shared by guests. Each new image appears in real time, turning the screen into a living memory feed.

The effect is twofold: guests enjoy seeing themselves on screen, and this encourages others to contribute. Participation becomes self-sustaining.

How to set it up

You’ll need a screen or projector and an internet connection. Open the live wall page on the device connected to the screen, and the display updates automatically.

Guests upload their photos via the usual QR code. No extra steps for them: what they share appears on the wall.

Choose the right display mode

The polaroid format gives a warm feel, ideal for weddings or birthdays.

The cinematic format highlights one photo at a time, perfect for key moments like speeches.

The mosaic format displays several images at once, suited to lively parties and high-traffic areas.

Tips for a successful wall

Place the screen where guests pass by, without blocking the dance floor.

Enable moderation if needed, to keep control over what’s displayed.

Set up the screen early: a live wall lit up from the start of the reception kickstarts photo collection for the whole evening.
