Answer: 12 to 24 finished photos, one link
How to deliver wedding sneak peeks before the weekend ends
Edit a dozen to two dozen highlights, upload them to a shoots.page gallery and send the couple one link the same night or the next morning. They open and forward it with no account or app, and the full gallery follows later as its own link. Free up to 2 GB for JPEG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP or RAW files.

Why sneak peeks work
Couples want to share their wedding while the excitement is fresh. A quick sneak peek gives them finished photos to post and send around while you edit the rest of the day.
One link is easy to pass on: parents and friends open it on their phones without signing up for anything. See how this looks in the wedding sneak peek example.
The sneak-peek play, step by step
Cull and edit a tight highlight set
Back up your cards the night of the wedding, then pull a dozen or two standout frames that outline the whole day. Edit them to your final standard, because these are finished photos and not rough proofs, then export them as JPEGs.
Build the gallery on shoots.page
Pick the finished files on the homepage. They stay local while you name the gallery and set options, and the draft persists across reloads if you step away. Sign in with Google and the resumable upload runs in the background.
Send the one link to the couple
Publish, then text the link to the couple or email it from shoots.page with Share gallery > Send email. You get an email the first time the gallery is opened, so you know they have seen it. If the couple forwards the link to parents or the wedding party, those guests open it in any browser too.
Deliver the full gallery later
Once the rest of the wedding is edited, deliver the complete collection as its own link. You can retire the highlight page then: revoke, delete or update it any time from the app. The full delivery workflow is in how to send photos to clients.
Privacy, sharing and expiry
A sneak peek works well as a temporary showcase. Add a password if the couple wants extra privacy, or use gallery expiry to retire the preview link automatically once the full collection ships.
Without a password, Share gallery also gives you Instagram, Facebook, Threads and X buttons with a ready caption, if you want to post the sneak peek yourself.
Common questions
How many photos belong in a sneak peek?
A dozen to two dozen finished photos is a good working range: enough to cover the ceremony, portraits and early reception highlights without spending your whole turnaround editing.
Does the couple need an account?
No. Anyone with the gallery link can view the images immediately; if you set a password, they enter it once. No accounts or app installs for recipients, ever.
Can guests upload their own photos to the gallery?
No. Only you upload photos to a gallery, and guests open the link to view them with no account or app.
Should the full wedding go on the sneak-peek link later?
Send the full gallery as its own fresh link; it keeps the highlight set clean and fast to browse. Both galleries are managed independently from the app.
