Live · Shared · Yours

Your friends are
your best
photographers.

Stop begging the group chat for wedding pics. Stop scrolling a Google Photos album with 19 contributors and zero good shots. Festoso turns every phone at your event into one shared live camera — scan a QR, photos hit the wall in seconds, you keep the whole night.

  • Free for up to 10 guests
  • Guests don't install anything
  • Live on any TV

→ one link. one wall. one night, archived.

Built for people who throw the parties, not the SaaS who sponsors them.

01

Your friend group is the photographer pool.

You hired one photographer. Twelve of your friends still took the best photos of the night — they just live unsorted on twelve different camera rolls. Festoso pools every phone into one feed so the moment your aunt got the shot, you've already got it too.

02

Guests scan a QR. That's it.

No "everybody download this app" announcement. No App Store password reset at the bar. We use iOS App Clip and a web join page so your guests can be uploading within five seconds of pointing their camera at the QR. The competition still requires installs. Wild.

03

Live wall. Live download. Gone in 90 days.

Photos cross-fade onto any TV the moment they're shot — the dance floor sees itself. You bulk-download everything to your phone before bed. Then we delete it. No data-mining your wedding photos, no surprise "memories" two years later. Retention is a feature, not a leak.

04

Built for the chaos.

Someone's going to upload something stupid. AI moderation catches the obvious stuff before it hits the wall. Hosts get a one-tap delete. Bulk download dumps the whole night to your camera roll in one zip. Custom branding so it looks like your event, not ours.

Three steps. About a minute.

  1. 1

    Make the event

    Sixty seconds in the app. Name it, set a password, pick how long photos stick around.

  2. 2

    Drop the QR

    Print it on the table card or text the link. Guests scan, type the password, start shooting.

  3. 3

    Watch the wall

    Cast festoso.app/show to any TV. Photos cross-fade in seconds. Vibes go up.

From hosts who tried it.

“The TV at the reception had everyone's photos within seconds. People kept walking up to it. We got more candids than from the photographer.”

“No app install was the whole thing. My grandparents got it working. That's the bar.”

“I downloaded 800 photos in one zip the next morning. That's a full wedding album for $34.”

Pay per event. Or per month if you throw a lot.

Most people buy one Event and forget about pricing. Wedding planners and photographers run several a month — Pro is for them.

Get on the list. We'll ping you when your platform's open.

Festoso is rolling out on iPhone and Android. Drop your email — we'll send you a free event credit when we open in your area, no spam, no AI-generated newsletter slop.

Questions we get a lot.

Wait, isn't this just an iMessage shared album?

Shared albums cap at 100 contributors per album and require everyone on iOS or Android with the right Apple/Google account. Mixed-platform weddings fall apart on day one. Festoso has no contributor cap, no platform lock, no account requirement for guests, plus a live TV feed, organizer dashboard, retention controls, and bulk download. Different product.

What if a guest uploads something gross?

Two layers. AI moderation (free on Event Plus, $5 on Event/Pro) catches NSFW and violent content via AWS Rekognition before it hits the wall. And the organizer can multi-select-delete anything in two taps from the dashboard. We default to the AI filter being on for venues — for chill house parties, you can turn it off.

Do you sell my photos to train AI?

No. Photos are stored encrypted on AWS S3, scoped to your event, and deleted on the retention schedule you set. We don't license your data to anyone, ever. The AI moderation feature runs over your photos to flag content; it doesn't keep them and isn't training anything. Full policy in our privacy page.

What actually happens after 90 days?

We email you 14 days before the deletion clock runs out. You can bulk-download the whole event in one zip, or pay $10 to extend retention another 90 days (so 180 total). After deletion we keep nothing — no thumbnails, no backups, no "in case you change your mind" purgatory. Gone is gone.

Does it work on Android?

Yes. We ship native apps for both iPhone (App Store) and Android (Google Play) on day one. Weddings are always mixed-platform; we'd be useless otherwise.

Can guests record video?

Yes — on both iPhone and Android. Clips up to 30 seconds at launch, streamed-upload so longer videos don't crash your phone. The in-capture editor is photo-only for now; videos upload raw.

What's the refund deal?

Full refund before your event start time — just email refunds@festoso.app. After the event has started we can't refund the event SKU, but we'll work with you if something genuinely went wrong on our end.
