The wedding photo sharing app for Bay Area weddings
PicUnionApp is a wedding photo sharing app for San Francisco Bay Area weddings — the City Hall ceremony, the winery reception in Napa or Sonoma, the rehearsal dinner in the Mission. One QR code covers the whole weekend, and every guest's photos land in a single private gallery you can download in full quality.
Free to start · No app for guests · Set up in about two minutes
A Bay Area wedding runs from the city to the vineyards
Bay Area weddings almost never stay in one spot. There is the City Hall ceremony under the dome, the winery reception an hour north in Napa or Sonoma, a rehearsal dinner in the Mission or on the Peninsula, and a foggy morning-after walk before guests scatter back to the airport. People fly in from all over for a tech-heavy crowd that documents everything — yet the couple still ends up with almost none of it.
The usual fixes break down. A group text compresses every photo and drowns it in replies. A shared cloud album needs each guest to have the right account and find the upload button. A professional gallery arrives weeks later with the ceremony and the first dance and none of the vineyard sunset, the cable-car detour, or the after-party in SoMa.

City Hall, wineries and the coast: Bay Area venues
Bay Area venues swing from a marble civic landmark to a vineyard with no bars of signal. San Francisco City Hall is busy and echoey, a Napa or Sonoma winery can sit in a dead zone between hills, and a Point Reyes or Half Moon Bay coast wedding often has fog instead of 5G. A guest who taps upload and sees a spinner gives up. Ask the venue for the guest wifi and print the network and password under the QR code.
Most guest photos show up the next morning regardless, when people are driving back over the bridge or waiting at SFO and OAK and going through their camera rolls. Text the link once after brunch and those photos land in one gallery instead of staying on the phones.
- Print the venue wifi beside the code for winery and coast dead zones
- Guests upload later from the hotel, the car or SFO
- Works on every phone, with nothing to install
- One gallery from the city to the vineyards
For Bay Area wedding planners and photographers
If you plan or shoot weddings around the Bay, a guest gallery is an easy add to what you already deliver. It costs nothing per wedding, gives the couple something to watch on the day, and the live slideshow at the reception is the kind of detail that shows up in reviews.
For photographers it is coverage you were never contracted for: the getting-ready room, the rehearsal dinner, the after-party once your hours ended. Many planners set the gallery up for the couple and hand over the printable QR code with the day-of timeline.
- Set up per wedding in about two minutes
- Live slideshow as a visible deliverable on the day
- Guest coverage of events outside the shoot contract
- Full-resolution export to fold into the wedding film
Many Bay Area couples marry at San Francisco City Hall and celebrate with a bigger party later. The City and County of San Francisco explains how to get a marriage license and book a ceremony. City and County of San Francisco
