We built Candids because collecting the photos from our own big day turned into a second full-time job.
We'd just gotten married. Like everyone tells you, the day went by in a blur — and when we came up for air, the photos we actually wanted were scattered everywhere. A few on the photographer's drive, weeks out. The rest? Trapped in five different group chats, compressed into oblivion, half of them never shared at all.
We spent the week after our honeymoon chasing people down. "Can you send me that one?" "Did anyone get the first dance?" "Who took the photo with grandma?" Every guest had a piece of the day on their phone, and there was no simple way to bring it all together.
It felt absurd. Everyone was holding a camera; the moments existed. They were just impossible to collect. So we built the thing we wished we'd had: one link, one shared gallery, and every guest's photos in one place — no app to download, no account to make.
That's Candids. Whatever you're celebrating, the memories shouldn't live in a hundred separate camera rolls. They should be somewhere you can actually keep them.
