WedCam Photo Challenges

WedCam’s Photo Challenges are an interactive feature that adds even more variety to your wedding or any other event. Instead of merely collecting photos, you actively involve your guests by giving them fun photo tasks. With ready-made default tasks in the system—for example, “Take a selfie with the wedding couple”—you can get started right away. As an administrator, you can also add your own tasks at any time, giving your event an extra personal touch. Guests who complete the tasks creatively can be declared winners in the end. Not only does this boost the fun factor, but it also ensures you end up with tons of unique photos.

At its core, it’s a simple points system: each completed task validated by a photo earns a set number of points. Your guests can view the list of photo challenges right on the WedCam guest page and pick any tasks they’d like to try. With a single click, the chosen task is marked as “in progress,” and after they succeed, they upload a proof photo. This process is intuitively designed and requires no additional app. Everything runs through the user-friendly WedCam platform, accessible on any smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Guaranteed photo fun for everyone!

WedCam already provides a selection of popular photo tasks by default. Examples might include: “Take a photo of the couple’s first dance,” “Capture a fun group shot,” or “Take a selfie with the surprise guest.” You can either use these tasks right away or draw inspiration to create your own list. Maybe you want your guests to snap a photo at a specific backdrop or you’re planning a themed event? No worries—within WedCam’s admin area, you have full control. You can easily create new tasks, set titles, descriptions, and possibly assign points or priorities. This way, you can tailor the photo challenges to perfectly match your celebration.

On the WedCam guest page, your visitors see a clear list of all available tasks. Each task has a short title and a description explaining what needs to be done. When someone feels like taking on a challenge, they simply click the task. After taking a photo, they upload it and link it to that task. If they like, they can add a quick note or funny comment. Then they’ll get a confirmation that they successfully completed the task. Other guests can also complete the same task—especially if the competition is about who can take the most creative picture!

The admin area serves as your command center for photo challenges. Here, you’ll have a clear overview of which tasks have been completed, how many photos were uploaded for each one, and who has earned the most points. Every uploaded photo appears in the gallery, so you can check its quality and relevance. Do you want to crown one or more winners at the end? Just see which guests completed the most tasks or took the most creative shots. This playful competition livens the atmosphere and motivates your guests to actively participate and capture many amazing moments.

1. The Group Photo: Have all your guests gather and strike a specific pose—like forming a heart shape with their hands or waving at the camera.
2. Selfie with the Couple: Perfect for weddings—each guest tries to take the most original selfie with the newlyweds.
3. Themed Tasks: If your event has a special theme (like the Roaring ’20s, a beach party, or Halloween), you can create tasks such as “Take a photo that matches the theme costume” or “Show an accessory that fits the theme.”
4. Scavenger Hunt Style: Hide small clues or items around the venue and challenge your guests to find them and document their discoveries with a photo.

One big advantage of photo challenges is the instant buzz they create. Guests swap tips about which tasks are still open, share laughs over the funniest or silliest snapshots, and even get to know each other better in the process. Plus, you end up with a dynamic photo album of your event—capturing all sorts of perspectives. The tasks act as mini “missions” that break the ice and give even the less photo-inclined guests a fun reason to snap pictures. In the end, you’ll benefit from a rich archive of images that go beyond the usual group shots.

To make sure your photo challenges are a success, let your guests know how it all works. A brief mention in the invitation or a quick explanation during the welcome speech often suffices. You can also set up signs or QR codes that link directly to the WedCam guest page. Consider whether you want to set a specific time frame for photo uploads—like during the champagne reception or between different parts of the program. If you plan to give out an award for the best performances at the end, be sure to announce it beforehand. It motivates plenty of guests to get creative.

WedCam Photo Challenges are more than just a neat extra— they bring your guests together, spark creativity, and add tons of fun. Combining pre-made tasks with custom ones makes them suitable for any kind of celebration. Thanks to the clear admin page, you’ll always have an overview and can announce the winners or hand out surprise prizes as needed. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, or birthday party, everyone will remember the day fondly. Give the Photo Challenges a try and make your event truly unique and filled with smiling faces!
