What ShootProof doesn’t do on the night
📸
ShootProof delivers photos — it doesn’t collect them
ShootProof is a professional photographer delivery and business management platform. Your photographer uploads finished, edited photos to a ShootProof gallery and shares a private link with you and your family for download and printing. This is genuinely valuable for receiving your professional photos 3–6 weeks after the wedding. But ShootProof has no mechanism for your 150 guests to upload their own candid iPhone photos during the reception. There is no QR code, no live upload flow, no real-time guest gallery. PartyLab is purpose-built for exactly this: the live, chaotic, joyful candid photo collection that happens during an event.
⏱️
ShootProof galleries arrive weeks after your wedding
Even the fastest photographers deliver finished galleries 2–4 weeks after the wedding. ShootProof is the pipeline for that delivery — edited, culled, color-graded professional photos. The candid guest moments — the spontaneous dance floor selfie, the grandparents laughing, the flower girl running — disappear into everyone’s camera rolls and are never shared. PartyLab captures these while they’re still happening: guests upload from the dance floor in real time, and you have the complete candid collection available for download before you check out of the hotel the next morning.

Couples and photographers who use both
“We used ShootProof for our photographer’s delivery and it was great for that. But we also used PartyLab at the reception for guest candids. The two are totally different — ShootProof is for getting your pro photos, PartyLab is for capturing the chaos of the night from every angle.”
Lauren & Dan W.
Newlyweds, June wedding
“My photographer uses ShootProof and I love the finished gallery. But I set up PartyLab for the reception because I wanted the raw, unedited guest moments that no professional photographer catches. I ended up with 600 candids from guests that I treasure as much as the professional shots.”
Stephanie M.
Bride, 220-guest wedding
“As a wedding photographer I deliver all my final galleries through ShootProof. But I now recommend PartyLab to every couple for guest uploads — it handles the side of the night I can’t cover: the guests’ own perspective in real time. They solve completely different problems.”
James P.
Wedding photographer, 8 years

Frequently asked questions
Can ShootProof collect guest photo uploads at a wedding?
No. ShootProof is a one-directional platform: the photographer uploads finished photos and clients download them. There is no mechanism for guests to submit their own candid photos during an event. It requires a photographer account with active subscription, not a self-service guest upload tool.
Should I use ShootProof and PartyLab together?
Yes — many couples and photographers use both. ShootProof delivers the photographer’s professional, edited gallery 2–6 weeks after the wedding. PartyLab collects every guest’s candid iPhone photos in real time during the reception. They are genuinely complementary tools for different phases and different photo sources.
How is PartyLab different from ShootProof for guests?
ShootProof requires guests to access a private gallery link with a client login to download photos — it is designed for the couple to receive their professional photos, not for 150 guests to upload their own. PartyLab is designed for guests: scan a QR code on your phone, upload your photos instantly, no account required, see them appear in a live gallery.
