FIELD NOTES

Guides

Straight answers about event cameras, QR photo collection, and how the products in this space compare - including to us, honestly.

GIFT GUIDE
Wedding gift ideas for the couple who has everything

Most couples solved the kitchen years ago. What still lands, what to spend, and the one gift that stops being possible after the wedding.

GIFT GUIDE
How much to spend on a wedding gift

The 2026 ranges by relationship, why 'cover your plate' is a myth, and why specificity beats spend every time.

FOR THE BEST MAN
Best man gift ideas: what to actually give

Why whisky and cufflinks keep missing, what's really expected, and the gift only the best man is placed to organise.

FOR THE BRIDAL PARTY
The bridesmaid group gift, done properly

Set the money before the idea, stop designing by committee, and spend the pooled budget where it actually counts.

GIFT GUIDE
Engagement gift ideas for the newly engaged

No registry, no date, no venue - what works in the gap, and what should wait for the wedding.

ROUNDUP
The best disposable camera app for weddings (2026)

TBT, Once, POV, and Lense - compared honestly on pricing, guest friction, and what the couple actually gets.

THE HONEST GUIDE
Alternatives to disposable cameras at weddings

Real single-use cameras cost $600-900 and mostly come back black. Here's what works instead, without romanticising any of it.

HOW IT WORKS
Wedding QR code photo sharing, explained

What guests see when they scan, how photos reach one album with no app, and the mistakes that kill participation.

PRICING
What a disposable camera app really costs

Per-guest tiers vs flat pricing at real wedding sizes - and why TBT charges $149 after the event, not before.

COMPARISON
TBT vs Scene

Guest tiers plus add-ons against one flat fee - and where Scene genuinely costs less.

COMPARISON
TBT vs Keeps

The purest film-roll constraint, photos only, hosted from an iPhone. What that means for you.

COMPARISON
TBT vs Pix

Unlimited uploads and optional film mode - plus the storage window that deletes your gallery.

COMPARISON
TBT vs Wedding Studio

Printed cards and photobooks against a real limited roll and an album that doesn't expire.

COMPARISON
TBT vs Once

Same disposable philosophy, three structural differences: pricing shape, payment timing, and what's on the roll.

COMPARISON
TBT vs POV

Party DNA vs wedding DNA - which room each product was built for, and why that decides your photo count.

COMPARISON
TBT vs Lense

Two QR-first event cameras: where they align, and where flat pay-after pricing and richer rolls set TBT apart.
