Common questions
What people ask.
Is Wedding.Studio free?
Wedding.Studio is not free. They charge $29–$99 at promotional pricing (regular pricing is $58–$198). Plans scale by number of guests.
Does Wedding.Studio have face recognition?
No. Wedding.Studio does not offer face recognition. Guests receive access to the full shared gallery but cannot search for photos of themselves.
Does Volto require you to be physically present at the wedding?
No. Volto is a fully remote, digital service. You share one link with guests, and we handle curation, face recognition, and gallery delivery from our end. Physical keepsakes ship via mail.
Which is better for large weddings?
For weddings of 100+ guests, face recognition becomes extremely valuable. Finding yourself in 3,000 photos without it is impractical. Volto's managed face recognition makes large wedding galleries usable for every guest. Wedding.Studio has no equivalent.
