ShaadiShots
AI face grouping and instant guest galleries for event photographers
01 · Project overview
What ShaadiShots is
ShaadiShots is a self-hosted desktop application that groups event photos by face and gives guests instant, personalised galleries through a QR code.
02 · Business problem
The problem worth solving
Wedding and event photographers spend hours manually sorting and delivering photos. Guests wait days for images, and cloud uploads raise privacy and recurring-cost concerns.
03 · Solution
What we built
ShaadiShots processes photos locally, groups faces into guest galleries and serves a QR-based gallery experience during the event. Photos stay on the photographer's machine.
04 · Architecture
How the system is put together
- Desktop application with local AI face grouping.
- Local photo processing and storage; no mandatory cloud upload.
- QR code generation for guest gallery access.
- Event-time gallery delivery from the photographer's machine.

07 · Challenges
Engineering challenges
Local AI performance
Face grouping has to run on a photographer's machine without a cloud GPU dependency, while still processing large event batches.
Event-time delivery
Guests expect to see their photos during the event. The gallery flow must be simple enough to use without an app or account.
08 · Engineering decisions
Why we built it this way
Local-first processing
Processing on the photographer's machine avoids uploading private event images and removes recurring cloud costs.
QR-based guest access
A QR code is the lowest-friction way for guests to reach their own gallery without installing software.
