Wedding Photo Sharing by State
Your Michigan Wedding Album Starts with a QR Code
Collect every guest photo from your Michigan wedding with QR codes. No apps needed. Michigan surprises with its Great Lakes coastline, charming wine country on the Leelanau Peninsula, and a Detroit renaissance that has created one of the coolest urban wedding scenes in the Midwest.
About Michigan Weddings
Michigan weddings celebrate two completely distinct landscapes - the Great Lakes dunes and water-view venues on the western shoreline, and the historic Gilded Age mansions and urban loft venues in Detroit and Grand Rapids.
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore near Glen Arbor and The Henry Ford museum campus in Dearborn are Michigan's two most iconic wedding photography settings.
Michigan's 'lake effect' weather can bring sudden heavy clouds or rain from Lake Michigan on any summer day. Outdoor venues along the Lakeshore (Traverse City, Saugatuck, Harbor Country) should have QR code cards in waterproof holders as standard practice.

Beach and Waterfront Wedding Photo Tips for Michigan
Protect Your QR Code Cards
Saltwater air and sea breeze can warp paper cards quickly. Use laminated QR code holders with weighted bases at outdoor Michigan beach or waterfront receptions so guests can scan all evening without chasing cards across the sand.
Golden-Hour Upload Window
Michigan coastal venues often have their most dramatic light in the 30 minutes before sunset. Announce the album URL during cocktail hour so guests are ready to upload the golden-hour photos as soon as they take them.
Cell Signal at the Water
Beachfront venues can have lower signal strength if the nearest tower is inland. Sharing the venue WiFi password on the welcome table ensures guests can upload large video files without draining their mobile data.
