Photo hosting bucket with facial recognition / sorting

[Calza]

I'm getting married soon and would love for guests to be able to upload any snaps they take on the day to a designated place that can automatically sort the photos so they can come back and see the photos of them without trawling through hundreds.

Does such a thing exist? Googling around throws up a few options but a lot of mixed reviews so looking for any experience.

Obviously don't mind paying for this, money has no meaning by this stage!

Do you have the consent of all your guests for that?

[.:ian:.]

Google photos has people and pets it its search, you tell it who they are and then you can search for those people.

You don't need to obtain their consent for these services directly. The guests would agree consent/T&C when uploading the photos to the service and choose not to if they wish.

I'm talking about the people IN the photos, not the ones uploading them. The ones who are going to have their photos put on a service run by who knows who, and associated with (presumably) their real name.

Bet you're a barrel of laughs. I'll check my sister isn't going to sue me though.

That would be quite simple - do you have any experience of how good the tagging is?

The tagging is very good.

But try it yourself with immediate family. I've a feeling the automatic tagging is only for the host of the photos.
So wouldn't be searchable by guests (the public).

There are other services out there, but I've no direct experience of them, other than being at a wedding about 5 years ago where something similar was used, but I never even looked at it. Just knew there was some app guests could use to add their own photos to.

At an event that is going to be 100% photographed of which they knew the score.

So if one does not want to be catalogued and biometrically logged by faceless Big Tech with links to government, one should decline the wedding invite?

[Corso Marche]

It's the only way being totally pragmatic. Someone there on the day will be putting photos on Facebook, Instagram, etc etc etc
Same as any time you step foot in a public place nowadays. If someone is on a call or taking video or a photo there's every chance you're in the background.

Incase anyone loops back here I ended up using a google photos bucket for guests then uploading to https://memzo.ai/ .

It's relatively cheap ($30 for 1000ish photos) and does most of what I want. The UX isn't perfect but it absolutely serves the purpose.
