Tag guests. Shoot.
Photos land on their phone.
Sessions guarantee the right photos reach the right people — even detail shots, product photos, and angles where face recognition can't help. No post-event sorting, no spreadsheets.
Tag once, deliver to everyone
Group shots, couples, team photos — tag two people or twenty. They all get their photos the moment you finish shooting.
- Multiple guests per session
- Group and individual shots in one flow
- Everyone notified automatically
Smart Guest Recognition fills the session for you
When a guest who’s already in your records shows up in a session’s photos, BrandStudio recognizes them and adds them to that session — automatically. No tagging, no lookup. The right people are on the list before you’ve lowered the camera.
- Recognizes guests from check-in, a scanned QR, even a past event
- They get the whole session — even detail and angle shots their face isn’t in
- Your guest list climbs live as people are recognized
Photos arrive while the event is still going
End a session and delivery happens in seconds. Guests open the link, see their photos, and share while they’re still at your event.
- SMS and email delivery in seconds
- Direct link, no app download
- Branded messages with your logo
Shareable GIFs from every burst
Burst shots become animated GIFs automatically. Guests get loops alongside their stills — the format people actually post.
- Auto-created from burst sequences
- Works on every social platform
- Delivered with high-res stills
Every photo gets delivered — even without a face
Face recognition is powerful — but not every photo has a face in it. Sessions guarantee delivery for every type of shot.
Product and detail shots
A brand wants low-angle photos highlighting a guest's shoes or outfit details. No face in the frame means face recognition can't match it. Sessions tie every photo to the guest regardless of what's in the shot.
Creative angles and poses
Back-of-shirt reveals, over-the-shoulder shots, silhouettes, hands-on-product — any time a photographer captures something other than a face, session-based delivery ensures the guest still gets the photo.
Mixed-format shoots
Portrait first, then product shots, then action photos. Sessions group everything together so the guest receives their full set — faces, shoes, details, and all — in one delivery.
Sessions and face recognition work together too. Use both for events where you want automatic matching on portraits and guaranteed delivery for everything else.
No more sorting photos
after the event.
Sessions deliver photos as you shoot. Your first session takes less than a minute to set up.
Common questions
Why do I need Sessions if Face Match already routes photos to guests?
Face Match handles photos where a guest's face is visible. Sessions handle the rest — the wide shots, the "back of the room" photos, the group shots where the photographer knows who's in them but the face engine may not catch everyone. Together they cover essentially every photo that should go to a known guest.
How does a photographer start and end a session?
One tap in the app — pick the guest or group from a list, start the session, and every photo until they end it is tagged to that guest. No typing, no confirming each shot. For quick portraits it's seconds per guest; for a 30-minute VIP shoot the session stays open the whole time.
What happens if a photographer forgets to end a session?
The app auto-ends sessions after a configurable inactivity window (default 5 minutes) or when the photographer starts a new session. Photos captured during an abandoned session still route correctly — they just get tagged to the last guest until auto-end fires. You can also fix assignments from the portal after the fact.
Can the same guest be in multiple sessions at one event?
Yes, as many as you need. A VIP might have a headshot session, a group photo session, and a networking candid session — each produces a distinct set of photos in their personal gallery. Sessions are a lightweight tagging layer, not a one-per-guest limit.
