How to upload
Three easy steps
Create a named folder, film vertically, upload — done
Create a folder named after the couple
Before the event, make an album or folder on your phone using the couple's last names — e.g. Smith-Johnson Wedding. Save all your clips there as you film.
- 1Open the Photos app
- 2Tap Albums at the bottom, then the + button (top left)
- 3Select New Album and name it after the couple — e.g. Smith-Johnson
- 4After filming, add clips to this album by tapping the share icon and choosing Add to Album
- 1Open the Google Photos app (or your default Gallery app)
- 2Tap Library → New album
- 3Name it after the couple — e.g. Smith-Johnson
- 4After filming, add clips by long-pressing each video and tapping Add to album
Film vertically throughout the event
Hold your phone upright (portrait). Capture crowd reactions, the DJ booth, dance floor highlights, lighting effects, and guest moments. Aim for 10–30 second clips.
Upload the whole folder to Google Drive
Open the Drive folder and upload your entire album at once — no need to select clips one by one.
- 1Open the Google Drive app and navigate to the shared folder
- 2Tap the + button → Upload → Photos and Videos
- 3Tap Albums, find the couple's album, tap Select All, then Upload
- 1Open the Google Drive app and navigate to the shared folder
- 2Tap + → Upload and browse to your couple's album
- 3Long-press the first clip, tap Select all, then tap Upload
Quick tips
Make your footage stand out
Small habits, big difference in the final edit
Stay vertical
Keep your phone upright — vertical clips work perfectly for Reels, TikTok, and Stories.
Face the lights
Position yourself so stage or venue lighting hits your subject — not your back.
Crowd energy
Hands in the air, big reactions, packed floors — these clips book the next event.
Upload on WiFi
Connect to venue WiFi before uploading to keep it fast and save your mobile data.
