Are disposable cameras completely obsolete at weddings now?

Not obsolete, but increasingly a nostalgic add-on rather than the main way couples collect guest photos — most are pairing them with a digital gallery rather than relying on cameras alone.

What's the biggest advantage of a QR code gallery over disposable cameras?

Instant results. Photos appear in the shared gallery as guests upload them, instead of waiting weeks for film to be developed with no guarantee the shots turned out.

Does a QR code photo gallery cost more than disposable cameras?

It depends on guest count and how many cameras you'd otherwise buy, but most couples find a digital gallery comparable or cheaper once you factor in film, development, and the cameras themselves — check current options at snapsy-events.com/pricing.

Can we do both disposable cameras and a digital gallery?

Yes, plenty of couples do — cameras for the tactile keepsake, a QR code gallery for the bulk of guest photos and instant access.
