South Asian wedding with sangeet, mehendi, and reception over three days. We split everything into sub-albums and the family in India was watching photos land in real time. My dad called me crying from Mumbai. Worth every single dollar
Stoked with how it turned out. Only minor thing is I wish you could reorder the sub-albums after the fact without redoing them. Not a dealbreaker at all but would be handy. Everything else was mint
