Iskra is free to start — 50 photos per event, seven-day upload window, seven-day gallery access. For many couples that is plenty for an engagement party or small dinner. Most full weddings outgrow it. Photo Gallery is £29 per event and removes the limits that matter on the big day.
What free covers well
- Engagement parties and rehearsal dinners under ~40 guests
- Testing QR placement and Live view before the wedding
- Small gatherings where 50 candid shots is realistic
When £29 pays for itself
- 100+ guests — 50 photos fills up before the first dance
- You want photos arriving all evening, not just the first hour
- 30-day upload window so honeymooners can still contribute
- 90-day gallery access for relatives abroad
- Bulk download of every photo after the event
Compared to other wedding costs
Photo Gallery costs less than a single boutonnière or table favour. You are paying for unlimited guest uploads, live display on the big screen, moderation controls, and a downloadable archive — not per-photo fees or guest app subscriptions.
