NowCandid helps event photographers capture, deliver, and sell party photos with fast guest identification, personal galleries, automated communication, and an easy online ordering experience.
Built for Party Photography
Selfie Check-In™
Let guests check in with a quick selfie so NowCandid can help match them with the photos they appear in throughout the Event.
Face Matching™
Help guests find more of their photos automatically by matching faces across images from the Event.
Automated Marketing
Send gallery links and reminders by text and email, giving guests an easy way to visit their photos and order during or after the event is over.
How it works
From proms to reunions, and social celebrations, NowCandid helps photographers turn event coverage into a simple Guest Buy experience.
1 .
Create your Event and choose the identification workflow that best fits the occasion, including Selfie Check-In™, Positive ID™, or other available options.
2 .
Encourage guests to check in before or during the Event so NowCandid can connect them with the photos they appear in.
3 .
Photograph candid moments, posed groups, step-and-repeat portraits, and other event coverage, then upload images during or after the Event.
4 .
Guests receive gallery links by text or email and can quickly find the photos most relevant to them.
5 .
Guests purchase the images and products they want directly through the online store, giving photographers a way to generate revenue without collecting orders on site.
A Simple Guest Buy Experience
Guests can check in directly from their phones
Receive personal gallery links by text or email
Find photos of themselves without searching through the entire Event
Browse photos from a mobile-friendly online store
Purchase digital downloads, prints, packages, and photo products
Return to their gallery through automated reminders
With a Guest Buy model, the photographer captures the Event while NowCandid helps handle the customer experience after the photo is taken. Guests decide what they want to purchase, place their own orders online, and can return later if they are not ready to buy right away.
FAQs
Quick answers for busy event photographers.
What is a Guest Buy event?
A Guest Buy event is one where the individual guests purchase their own photos instead of the event organizer paying for all photography or image delivery upfront.
The photographer covers the Event, guests are connected with their images, and each customer can choose which downloads, prints, packages, or photo products they would like to purchase online.
What types of events work well with a Guest Buy model?
Guest Buy can work especially well for events where there are many individual attendees or groups who may want photos of themselves.
Examples include proms, reunions, dances, tailgates or sporting events, banquets, holiday parties, celebrations, and other social gatherings.
The model is particularly useful when the photographer wants to create individual sales opportunities across a large Event.
How do guests find the photos they want to buy?
NowCandid can use tools such as Selfie Check-In™ and Face Matching™ to help connect guests with relevant images.
Guests can receive gallery links by text or email and browse the photos associated with them instead of searching through a large Event gallery from beginning to end.
Depending on the Event setup, photographers can also provide broader gallery access for guests who want to browse additional images.
Do guests have to order during the Event?
No. Guests can purchase photos during the Event or return to their gallery afterward.
Automated text and email communication can help keep the Event and its photos in front of guests after the celebration is over, giving customers additional opportunities to view their images and complete a purchase.
Does the photographer have to collect orders or payments?
No. Guests can browse available products, place their orders, and pay through the NowCandid online retail experience.
This allows photographers to focus on photographing the Event rather than managing order forms or collecting individual payments on site.
Can I sell both digital images and physical products?
Yes. Depending on the products and pricing configured for the Event, guests can purchase options such as digital downloads, prints, packages, and other available photo products.
This gives photographers flexibility in how they build their Guest Buy offer and provides customers with multiple ways to purchase and enjoy their images.
