Wedding photo and video sharing websites

How do they work?

Video: How Your Photo Sharing and Video Sharing Website Works

About a week after we get your digital wedding cameras back, we create a wedding photo and video sharing website containing all of the pictures and videos from your wedding. We'll then email you a personalized digital invitation to your website that you can easily forward to all of your guests. It looks like this:

Example invitation to a wedding photo and video sharing website

That's it. No need to register. No passwords to remember. You, your family, and your friends just view, download, print, and share as many of the pictures and videos from your wedding as you'd like for free.

And don’t worry, when we’re building your website, we filter out any embarrassing or inappropriate pictures, so that all of your friends and family can enjoy your website. We’ll also send you the “un-cut” version of your website on CDs, for free, about a week after your site goes up. And of course, you can remove and add as many photos as you would like. Finally, we also make sure that all the pictures and videos are properly rotated for easy viewing and sharing

How will people know about mine?

Your family and friends will know where and when to see the pictures and videos from your wedding thanks to the free information cards and a free personalized email invitation included in your All Inclusive Wedding Photography Package.

Before your wedding you'll find information cards you give to your family and friends inside the prepaid mailing case your digital wedding cameras are delivered in. These are great to include in thank you cards or to pass out at your wedding because they tell your family and your friends how to view, download, print, and share all of your pictures and videos for free.

Free cards to give to friends and family so that they can get to all of your wedding photos and videos


In addition, after the wedding we'll email you a personalized email invitation to your website that you can easily forward to all of your family and all of your friends. It looks like this:

You can capture those special and impromptu moments, share with friends and family, and not have to worry about getting your pictures "developed".

"CameraRenter is the most useful, innovative, and eco-friendly photography service I've seen in the last ten years. If you want to remember and share the candid moments before, during, and after your wedding, CameraRenter is the way to go."- David P, CEO, WedNet.com

"Being a photographer, I'm all about taking lots and lots of photos, anywhere and everywhere! For weddings and parties I love the concept of adding to the photographic fun with disposable cameras set out for your guests, but unfortunately, the reality of what happens next isn't all that great. Paying to get lots and lots of prints made, throwing out all those camera bodies and non album-worthy photos, trying to figure out how to share the pictures with your guests... not so fun and not so eco-friendly. Fortunately, with all the new digital options out there, there is an easier way! "- Christy W, Co-Owner/Co-Founder, junebugweddings.com and Positive Light Photography

"It was quite cool. A set of fully insured digital wedding cameras were delivered to the resort, then all the event guests used the digital wedding cameras for the whole weekend. CameraRenter then created a website with the pictures and videos. The digital wedding cameras were easy to use and took great pictures, and the website solves the issue of your guests never actually sending you any of the pictures they take!"- Christopher P, Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Rosario Resort & Spa

"We used CameraRenter at a work function and then as our photographer for our wedding reception. It was so easy and fun and a great option for photos."- Karina P, Private Dining Manager, Tap House Grill

"With my being so busy taking care of the guests and my closest family too, I would never have been able to catch so many great shots & video. I would never have the time to print out the pictures from a regular camera, scan them, upload them, send them to my guests, and so on. The memories would just sit there for forever. Who wants to scan a million photos on top of all that comes with post party details (thank you cards etc.) after putting so much work into the event already? Getting to enjoy the photos so quickly was amazing. Thank you!"- Tirzah F, Director of Catering, Rosario Resort & Spa

"Easy non-stressfull process to get guest involved in taking pictures and easy to share."- Melissa E & Sean W, Bride and Groom

"My company Expo NW used CameraRenter’s service during our Latin Bridal Expo, my experience was excellent. Communication with customer service was also excellent at every step of the process. The online web access was amazing; we were able to refer all our vendors and attendees to the website for their viewing pleasure. I will certainly use CameraRenter’s services again and recommend them to all my contacts."- Blanca T, CEO, Expo NW

"CameraRenter allowed us to capture our wedding through the eyes of our guests. While we are thrilled with the results from our official photographer, it's the images and video our guests took that completes the story leading up to, during and following the wedding. Turning the cameras loose with the family was the best thing we could have done, as it produced great memories of the family "I do" Dash 5K run/walk, kayaking, singing karaoke, setting up, the ceremony and the reception. And with CameraRenter's quick trunaround, we not only relived the moments the next day via the cameras, but online as well a week later."- Lincoln and Corina, Groom and Bride

"CameraRenter is a great photography option for any upscale or casual event. Renting digital wedding cameras from CameraRenter is the easiest way to capture and share every aspect of your special events from the eyes of the people that will make them special. CameraRenter found that sweet spot between disposable cameras and professionals, and it’s truly a great service."- Don B., Events Director, Columbia Tower Club

"I highly recommend CameraRenter to anyone looking to provide a fun way to capture memories of their wedding. I handed out the cameras at the beginning of week to each family and by the end of the week we had an assortment of photos that showed different points of view of our wedding. It also made it easy for our international guests to see pictures and relive the moments though they live so far away."- Jocelyn E., Bride

"We are so happy that we used CameraRenter for our wedding. Everyone had a great time with the cameras taking artistic shots and most importantly, the guests captured an incredible amount that was missed by us and the photographer the day of the wedding. I cannot tell you how thankful I am to have had the photos from CameraRenter. It was so easy to order and use, it was well worth it. Thank you CamerRenter!"- Justina and Justin, Bride and Groom

Why CameraRenter

With a million things on your mind, you may be wondering why you need CameraRenter at your event. CameraRenter is quickly becoming a must-have for all events for three simple reasons:

  1. Pictures and videos are pointless if nobody sees them

    It is important that you and your guests actually see the pictures and videos taken before, during, and after your event. For example, think about the last event you were at where the guest used disposable cameras or their own digital wedding cameras. How many pictures from that event have you seen? How many pictures from that event have your family or your friends seen? Click here to read more.

  2. Professionals can't capture everything

    Once-in-a-lifetime memories will be made when your profession photographer or videographer is not around. How will you capture and share all of these memories? Or what about the behind-the-scenes memories that only your guests can capture? Click here to read more.

  3. Nothing about your event is disposable

    You wouldn't give your guests paper plates, so don't give them paper cameras. Also, disposable cameras are called disposable for a reason. They are disposed of. Nothing about the easy, elegant, and eco-friendly digital wedding cameras you rent is disposable and your pictures and videos are digital. Click here to read more.

Pictures are Pointless if Nobody Sees Them

Some people ask: If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it, did it make a sound? We ask: If a picture is taken at an event and nobody sees it, is there actually a picture? :)

In all seriousness, think about the last special event you were at. And think about all the pictures that were taken, pictures everyone took with their digital wedding cameras or disposable cameras. Now think about how many of those candid shots you, your family and friends have seen?

The memories from your event are much too important to suffer this fate. You should know that you and your guests will be able relive and share all of the memories from your event. And this should be easy and free.

With your wedding photo and video sharing website you will know that you and your guests can view, download, print, and share all of the pictures and videos from your event without leaving the comfort of home for free. No need to register. No passwords to remember. Just you and your guests remembering and sharing everything from all of the digital wedding cameras you rented.

Professionals can't capture everything

Your professional photographer and videographer will beautifully capture a few hours from your wedding day.

What about everything else?

Your event is much too important for anything to be missed, and your event will take place over days, not hours. So how can you make sure that none of the once-in-a- lifetime memories from your event are missed? One professional certainly can't do this, and neither can disposable cameras.

Imagine having the people who will be making all those once-in-a-lifetime memories capture them. Imagine having your family and your friends capture candid shots before, during, and after your wedding; from the rehearsal dinner, to the get-together the day after, and all of the memories in-between. After all, who better to capture the candid memories before, during, and after your event then the people who make them?

An easy, elegant, and Eco-Friendly alternative to disposable cameras

Nothing about your event is disposable. Not the plates, not the silverware, and definitely not the cameras.

When you give out disposable cameras, you get disposable pictures. You get what you give. It's that simple. Because disposable cameras are disposable, guests treat them like they are disposable. So they sit unused or are used to take three or four disposable pictures of the floor.

And then what do you do with the three or four pictures that are taken? Are you going to take a pillow case full of mostly unused disposable camera to the neighborhood drug store, get triplicates prints made (because you know Aunt Sally will want copies), address and stamp envelopes, mail them out, and then pay the thousand dollar credit card bill for the few prints that actually turn out? And let's not forget about the fact that all these disposable cameras (and the batteries in them) are disposed of along with all the prints that did not turn-out. What a waste of time and resources!

Chances are you don't have the time for all of this. But what about the memories?!

What if you could give your family, and your friends easy, elegant, eco-friendly Polaroid 5.3 megapixel digital wedding cameras with large 2.5" screens? You'd get a lot of great pictures and videos. The key here is "a lot," "great," and "videos." Each of the digital wedding cameras you rent takes over 450 pictures, has a large 2.5" previewing screen, and records video and audio. Each of these things is impossible with disposable cameras.

And what if after your event, you, your family, and your friends could view, download, print, and share all of the pictures and videos for free without leaving the comfort of home. And what if none of your family or friends had to hassle with registering or remembering passwords? Well, you, your family, and your friends would be eco-friendly and miss nothing and remember everything from your event easily and elegantly.

Why rent digital wedding cameras instead of buying disposable cameras?

Short Answer: Disposable cameras take disposable pictures, and nothing about your event is disposable. Also, you wouldn't give your guests disposable silverware, so don't give them disposable cameras.

Longer Answer: We've all seen disposable cameras set-out on the tables at events. The idea: capture fun, candid memories from the eyes of the people who make your special day so special. The idea is great. Who better to capture all of the fun, candid memories from your reception than the people who will make it special? What better way to make sure you remember everything from the best day of your life than to have family and friends serve as a fleet of photographers and videographers? The issue is not with the idea; it's with the disposable cameras.

CameraRenter has taken the idea behind disposables and married it with digital wedding cameras and online picture and video sharing so that you actually can remember and share everything before, during, and after your event.

But before we get into all that, let's talk a bit about disposable cameras.

Disposable Cameras: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The Good

The good of disposable cameras is the idea. Give cameras to your friends and your family and get back hundreds of fun, candid memories that you will cherish for the rest of your life. Brilliant!

At least theoretically.

The Bad

The cameras. They are disposable. They take disposable pictures. But nothing about your event is disposable! Not the plates, not the forks, and definitely not the cameras. But because the cameras are disposable, guests treat them like they are disposable and you get pictures that are disposable.

When you give your guests disposable cameras, you get disposable pictures. You get what you give. It's that simple.

The Ugly

The ugly of disposable cameras is what you do with them after your event. Let's face it. Pictures don't develop themselves, and they definitely don't mail themselves to your friends and your family.

Let's say you luck out and some of your friends and family do a great job taking pictures with the disposable cameras. Now what? You take a pillow case full of disposable cameras to the picture store, get triplicates made (because you know Aunt Sally will want copies), address and stamp envelopes, and then pay the credit card bill for the hundreds of dollars you spent hoping that the prints turn out?!

Chances are you don't have the time for all of this. But what about the memories?

There's Hope: Rent Digital Wedding Cameras From CameraRenter

All that said it's really hard to give-up the chance of hundreds of candid memories from the eyes of your friends and family. So don't. Renting digital wedding cameras from CameraRenter does what disposable cameras are supposed to do. It combines digital wedding camera rental with automatic online picture and video sharing. Think of it like a personalized version of Netflix, Flickr, and YouTube.

Here's How CameraRenter Works:

All that said it's really hard to give-up the chance of hundreds of candid memories from the eyes of your friends and family. So don't. Renting digital wedding cameras from CameraRenter does what disposable cameras are supposed to do. It combines digital wedding camera rental with automatic online picture and video sharing. Think of it like a personalized version of Netflix, Flickr, and YouTube.

  1. Get digital wedding cameras

    You receive a set of fully insured rented digital wedding cameras delivered in a prepaid mailing case (like Netflix, but with digital wedding cameras instead of DVDs).

  2. Give digital wedding cameras

    You, your family, and your friends have a great time capturing all the once-in-a-lifetime moments before, during, and after your event (like disposable cameras"but with better cameras that also record video).

  3. Remember everything

    You, your family, and your friends view download, print, and share all of the pictures and videos from all of the digital wedding cameras you rented for free from your wedding photo and video sharing website (like Flickr and YouTube).

The Good

You want a way for your friends and family to capture a lot of candid memories. Giving them rented digital wedding cameras that can take hundreds of pictures, video, and have those nifty screens on the back that let them preview the pictures is a great way to make sure that happens.

The cameras are not disposable, so neither are the pictures (or in this case, pictures and videos).

The Better

Everyone sees all of the pictures. Yes...many of your guests will have their own digital wedding cameras. But how many times have you been at an event and asked someone with their own digital wedding camera "Could you print doubles?" or "Could you please send me a copy of this picture?" and never see the picture? And that's just the one or two pictures you asked for. What about all the other pictures that were taken? And let's not get started on how this would work for videos.

Renting digital wedding cameras will take care of that. You just stick the digital wedding cameras back in the pre-paid mailing case after your event, and in about a week all of the pictures and videos from all of the digital wedding cameras are up on your wedding photo and video sharing website where your friends and your family can view, download, print, and share them for free. That's right. All your guests can view, download, print, and share all of the pictures and videos for free. Everyone enjoys everything for free.

After all, what good are cameras -disposable or digital- if nobody sees the pictures and videos they take?

The Best

Renting digital wedding cameras is a lot more elegant and eco-friendly than disposable cameras.

When's the last time you've been at an event where you were provided with a digital wedding camera? Seems like a nice elegant touch. Also, the digital wedding cameras, shipping materials, and batteries are reused, and everything is digital so everyone only prints the pictures they really want. That's green. And green is good.

After all, what good are cameras -disposable or digital- if nobody sees the pictures and videos they take?

Wrapping It Up

On the day of your event, you will have a million things on your mind. The days after your event you will have one thing on your mind: remembering and sharing everything from it. Despite their limitations, disposable cameras play a key role in that. CameraRenter's digital wedding camera rental service stands-up where disposable cameras fall down and picks-up where disposables cameras leave off.

How to get the most out of your CameraRenter digital wedding cameras?

Six Simple Ways To Miss Nothing and Remember Everything From the Best Days of Your Life

  1. Give Your Digital Wedding Cameras and Batteries out Before, During, and After Your Event

    Each of the digital wedding cameras you rent takes over 450 pictures and your All Inclusive Event Package provides complimentary backup batteries, so don't just use your cameras during your event. Instead, give them to family and friends before, during, and after your event.

  2. Backup Your Backup Batteries

    Each digital wedding camera that you rent comes with batteries and backup batteries, and it's a great idea to have backups for the backups for those guests who really enjoy snapping pictures. This is quick and easy, as regular double AA batteries are all you need.

  3. Have a Few Guests Get Things Started

    Once a few people start snapping pictures using your digital wedding cameras, it will catch-on like wildfire. Before you know it, everyone will be capturing everything.

  4. Have Your DJ/MC Make an Announcement

    At the start of your event, have your DJ/MC announce something like: Be sure to use the digital wedding cameras provided by (your name) so we can all view, download, and print each other's pictures for free at (your name)'s website.

  5. Give-Out Your Instruction Cards to All of Your Guests

    If anyone is going to hand-out anything, make sure they hand-out the instruction cards included with your event package. This way your guests will know how to view, download, and print, all of the pictures and videos from all of the digital wedding cameras you rented for free.

  6. Forward Your Email Invitation to All of Your Family and Friends

    About a week after we receive your digital wedding cameras, we'll email you an invitation to your wedding photo and video sharing website. Be sure to forward your email invitation to all of your guests. This is a quick, easy, and free way to make sure that your family and friends relive all the memories they helped you make.
