Online photo sharing website

belleva

I'm getting married soon, and as I'm not on Facebook anymore (!) I was wondering what other options we have for viewing our guests photos of our wedding.
I have looked up some, but it would seem that you can only see thumbnails - I would love if they were high resolution & I could print my favs.
Does anyone have suggestions of a simple website that my guests could use?
A free website would be great - but I would be willing to pay for a convenient, good quality site that can accomodate pics from many (I hope) users which I can hopefully print.

I have signed up to use this one, seems good enough https://www.weddingpartyapp.com/ I know another user on here used it for photo sharing at there wedding and recommended it.

We are planning to not have a photographer so thought something like this would be handier

We used wedpics.com and have no complaints with it. There are hundreds of photos on it. I think their print orders must be done in the USA but I'm sure you can copy pics once they're up. Or at least know who uploaded it so they can send it on/print for you

you could set up a photobucket account and leave little cards with the password on it so the guests can all add their photos?

Flickr is perfect for this, and is free. You can set up albums and sets. If your viewers are already Flickr users (unlikely, I know) , you can decide who sees what. More likely, you can send a 'guest pass' so that only those who get the guess pass can see you photos. Slight hiccup is that you can't control who might choose to share your 'guest pass' URL with others.

I used to like flickr but hasn't it changed now where you have to have a yahoo account to use it..

You need a Flickr account, which can be a Yahoo account or a Flickr account or you can use a Facebook account - take your pick.

We asked guests to email them to the gmail account for the wedding, it was dead handy to just add them straight to google drive and we got the full quality rather than the Facebook ones

Is it really that big a deal? If want free access to a terabyte of online storage, you go through a registration that takes you 3 or 5 minutes.

Email is OK, but if people are taking hi-res photos (maybe 5 mb each), you'll soon start running into limits like gmail's 20 Mb per message. You could just ask them to upload to flickr or whatever, and tag then with a unique tag for your wedding.

Registering for Yahoo doesn't mean you have you take their email account. YOu can register for Yahoo/Flickr with your existing email account.
