Bar mitzvah photo sharing: every guest gets the photos they're in on WhatsApp
A bar mitzvah is really two events in one day: an aliyah to the Torah in the morning with the grandparents and uncles, and a party in the evening with the friends from class. The two crowds barely meet, and neither do the photos. Bar mitzvah photo sharing with PiciMe is simple: the system collects all the photos, from the photographer and from every phone, into one place, so the whole family gets them. Each guest takes one selfie, and face recognition sends them a personal album on WhatsApp with the photos they're in, from the morning at synagogue to the dancing in the evening. Even from the part they weren't there for. No app and no sign-up.
Grandpa gets the dance floor too, the friends get the Torah reading too, and the parents stop chasing anyone.
How all the bar mitzvah photos reach one album, in 3 steps
PiciMe connects the morning at synagogue and the evening party into one place, and every guest gets their own photos.
Join with a single link
Each guest gets a WhatsApp link (or scans a code from the table) and joins with one tap, no app and no sign-up. From that moment all the photos, from the photographer and from all the guests, reach one place.
Take one selfie
Each guest takes one short selfie, and PiciMe's face recognition finds them in all the photos from the event, from the morning at synagogue to the dancing in the evening.
Get only your photos
Each guest gets a personal album on WhatsApp with the photos they're in: grandpa gets the Torah reading, the friends get the dancing. And the boy and the family get all the photos of the day, from every camera and every phone.
Everyone gets the half they missed
The grandparents and uncles don't need to learn a thing. The album reaches them on WhatsApp, the app they already open every day. No app store and no sign-up. Even someone whose phone was in their pocket all morning gets their photos next to the boy at the aliyah to the Torah.
The classmates do what they love most: photographing nonstop and uploading everything. And in return each of them gets an album of their own, with every photo they're in.
And you get the most: all the photos of the day, from the photographer and from every guest, in one place. The grandparents finally see the dancing, the friends see the Torah reading, and the boy gets an album that's truly his, without asking anyone to forward a thing.
Why do the photos scatter at a bar mitzvah of all events?
At the most moving moments almost no one is photographing
In the morning, at the most moving moments (laying tefillin, the aliyah to the Torah), almost no one is photographing. The crowd is older, and you're standing next to your son, not behind a camera. The few photos that were taken stay on one uncle's phone, and no one remembers to ask for them.
Hundreds of photos, all in a group you're not in
In the evening it's the opposite: hundreds of photos, but all in the class's WhatsApp group, a group you're not even in. So there are two piles of photos that never meet, and you're busy all day with no time to chase anyone.
One event with face recognition solves it on its own: every guest gets the photos they're in, from the morning and the evening. And the boy finally gets an album that's his, without asking mom to forward it.
Four moments that bar mitzvah photo sharing returns to one album
Honestly, I didn't expect much. In the end everything reached me on its own, without asking. My mom still tells everyone she got her photo with Itai straight to WhatsApp.
Only your photos, and only for those who approved
Each guest sees and gets only the photos they themselves are in. Face recognition works only if the guest approved it at the start. The gallery is open only to event guests, and the photos are kept only for a set time, not forever.
A morning ceremony and an evening party, one event on PiciMe
The two parts of the day are one event: one place for all the photos, and face recognition that sends every guest a personal album with their photos. You choose a package by the size of the event, and that's it, the whole day is covered. You can see all the packages on the pricing page.
