How Dearest Works

Three steps. Zero Apps. Every Memory.

Wedding table decoration with a sign inviting guests to share their photos via QR code, along with floral arrangements and empty wine glasses.

  1. Share your QR Code

Display your Dearest QR Code at your event or include it in the invites, itineraries, or welcome materials.

2. Guests upload instantly

Guests scan the QR code and upload photos and videos directly from their phones- no app downloads, no logins.

3. Relive it all, together

Everything lives in one elegant, private gallery you can revisit, download, and preserve forever.

PREMIUM KEEPSAKE

If you choose, Dearest will curate a photo book proof from guest photos and sentiments. Once you receive your proof, you can decide if you would like to purchase a premium curated photo book.

Why Dearest?

More than photo sharing. Memory preservation.

Most QR photo sharing tools simply collect files. Dearest transforms moments into a story you’ll treasure.
