Short answer: to run a live wedding slideshow, connect the photos guests upload via QR code to a real-time album and project it onto a screen in the room (projector or LED). As photos arrive, they stream on screen automatically — a show that feeds itself all night.
Why it works
When a guest sees their own shot appear on screen, they upload more. It creates a lively atmosphere in the room and meaningfully raises the photo-collection rate — the show is also an incentive.
What you need
- A screen: projector, LED panel or a large TV
- A device connected to it (laptop, mini PC or a casting device)
- A live shared-album link (slideshow mode)
- QR cards on tables + a sign at the entrance
Tip: put the QR code and an "Add your photo" line in a corner of the slide. A guest who wants to see their own photo on screen uploads right away.
Practical tips
Keep transitions at 5-7 seconds; too fast is tiring. Prefer a system with a moderation/approval option against inappropriate content. Test screen brightness against the venue lighting in advance.
The verdict
A live slideshow turns photo collection into an event: guests have fun and contribute. See how the setup works on our how it works page, and find more engagement ideas in our 10 creative ideas post.
