What people say
Real reviews, each linked to its source.
“Capsule is an amazing photo-sharing tool to have your guests and friends use at your wedding! You get all of your photos in one place for you and everyone to view.”
“The QR code system? Absolute game-changer. My aunt literally just pointed her phone at the sign and uploaded 47 photos without any help. No app download, no confusion.”
“Photo sharing was wild. We printed three QR codes (one for each event) and by the end of the weekend we had 2,100+ photos uploaded. My cousins were competing to upload the funniest candids.”
“My only wish is that there was a way to send a reminder text to guests who hadn't uploaded yet, but I get why that's not included at the $29 price point.”
“The Ever After plan includes priority support which we actually used—they helped us set up a custom RSVP deadline and answered questions about album limits within like 20 minutes. That alone made the $79 worth it.”
“Only minor complaint: wish there was an option to moderate uploads before they went live, but honestly we didn't get any inappropriate photos so it wasn't an issue. Great platform overall.”
