Put a QR code on the tables. Guests scan it and add their photos and videos straight from their phones — no app, no sign-up, full-quality video. You get everything, all in one place.
One design, everywhere — matching invitations, table cards and event website.
Why HiveAlbum
The morning getting ready, the kids under the table, your friends on the dance floor, the taxi home — all the moments you were too busy to see. Don’t let them disappear into dozens of camera rolls.
No apps to download, no accounts for guests, no chasing people for their photos afterwards.
Add a name, date and cover photo. Pick your colours so it matches your invitations.
Print our ready-made table cards and poster, or drop the code into your invites and order of service.
Guests scan, type their name and upload. Photos and videos appear in your album as the day happens.
More than a photo album
The album is just the start. Plan the day, invite your guests and relive it together — all in the same design.

Private by default
No ads, no feeds, no strangers. Your photos are never sold or used for anything else — they’re yours, and you stay in control.
Pay once per event. No subscriptions, no per-guest fees, no surprises.
Start free and upgrade any time — payments handled securely by Stripe.
Anything else? Just ask — we’re real people.
No. Guests scan the QR code with their phone camera, type their name and start sharing — right in their browser. It works on any iPhone or Android.
Not at all — christenings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, baby showers, hen and stag dos, reunions, work parties, holidays… any event where lots of people take photos.
Videos are converted to full HD so they play smoothly on every device, including 4K and HDR iPhone footage. On any paid plan you can also download the untouched originals.
Yes — on Premium, guests tap “Leave a voice message” on the album page and record straight from their phone. It’s an audio guestbook without hiring a phone: messages stay private to the hosts unless a guest says they can be shared, and you can download them all.
Yes. Paid plans include printable invitations with online RSVPs, plus a planning checklist and budget planner for the hosts. On Premium, guests can also choose their meals from your menu when they reply.
Only people with your link or QR code. You can require approval before anything appears, hide or delete any upload, block a guest, and choose whether guests see everyone’s photos or just their own.
14 days on the free trial, 6 months on Starter, 12 months on Essentials and 3 years on Premium. Need longer? Any paid album can be extended by another 12 months for £19. You can download everything in one click at any time.
Every Premium event includes 25 free 6×4" photo prints, and every Essentials event includes 5. After your event, choose your favourite photos in the app, adjust how each one is cropped, and we post them to you. A £4.99 delivery charge applies. The free prints come as one order per event; any extra prints are 49p each.
No. You pay once per event. If you upgrade later, you only pay the difference.
Privately on our own servers in the UK. We never use your photos for anything else, and deleting your event removes every file.
