A wedding involves dozens of vendors passing files back and forth for months. The photographer sends proofs to the couple. The couple forwards a playlist to the DJ. The planner shares venue floor plans with the florist. The videographer delivers a 15 GB final cut. Most of this happens through a disorganized mix of email, text messages and random cloud links. It does not have to be this way.
The Coordination Problem
The average wedding involves 8-14 vendors. Each one produces and consumes files. Photographers generate thousands of images. Videographers produce multi-gigabyte video files. Planners manage spreadsheets, contracts, timelines and vendor contact lists. Florists need reference photos and venue dimensions. DJs need playlists and a schedule of events.
The problem is not that these files are hard to create. The problem is getting them to the right person in a format they can actually use, without drowning in email threads or requiring everyone to sign up for the same cloud service.
What Each Vendor Needs to Share
Photographers
Wedding photographers typically deliver 500-2,000 edited images per event. That is 10-40 GB of high-resolution files. Clients also want preview galleries - lower resolution versions they can browse before selecting prints. EasySend's photo sharing lets you upload a batch of images and share one link. Recipients can preview thumbnails in the browser before downloading.
For wedding photographers specifically, the workflow matters. You want to share proofs quickly, get feedback and deliver finals. Having one link that works on any device without requiring the client to create an account removes friction from the entire process.
Videographers
Raw wedding video can hit 100 GB or more. Even edited highlight reels and full ceremony videos run 5-20 GB. Email is useless at this scale. Most cloud drives require the recipient to have an account. EasySend handles video files with in-browser preview so the couple can watch before downloading. No app needed.
DJs and Musicians
Couples send playlist requests. DJs share set lists for approval. Musicians share audio samples. These files are small individually but the back-and-forth adds up. A single link with all the relevant audio files keeps everything organized.
Planners and Coordinators
Event planners are the hub of wedding file sharing. They distribute timelines to every vendor. They collect contracts and insurance certificates. They share venue maps, parking details and setup instructions. A planner who can share a single folder link with all relevant documents saves hours of individual emails.
Florists and Decorators
Florists need inspiration photos, color swatches, venue photos showing table layouts and measurements. These usually arrive as phone photos texted one at a time. A shared photo album with everything in one place is far more useful.
Why the Current Approach Fails
Here is what typically goes wrong:
- Email attachment limits - most providers cap at 25 MB, useless for photos and video
- Account walls - sending a Google Drive link to someone without a Google account creates confusion
- Expired links - WeTransfer free links expire in 7 days, often before the vendor gets around to downloading
- Compression - WhatsApp and iMessage compress photos and video, ruining quality
- Scattered threads - files spread across 50 email threads, 3 group chats and 2 cloud services
The result is that someone always ends up asking "can you resend that?" and nobody can find the final version of anything.
A Better Workflow
Here is a practical file sharing workflow for a wedding vendor team:
- Planner creates a master timeline and shares it as a single link with all vendors
- Photographer uploads proofs to a shared gallery link, sends it to the couple for review
- Couple shares playlist with the DJ via a link containing all their song choices
- Videographer delivers finals through a download link the couple can access from any device
- Everyone uses one tool - no accounts, no apps, no compatibility issues

File Sharing Checklist for Wedding Vendors
- Can you share files over 2 GB without compression?
- Can recipients download without creating an account?
- Do photo and video files maintain original quality?
- Can recipients preview files in the browser before downloading?
- Do shared links work on phones as well as desktops?
- Can you set an expiration date on shared files?
- Can you password-protect sensitive documents like contracts?
If your current tool does not check every box, you are making your job harder than it needs to be.
Getting Started
EasySend works without accounts or apps. Upload files, get a link, share it. That is the entire process. For wedding vendors who move between clients constantly, this simplicity matters more than feature lists.
