Create your stunning wedding books using your guests' digital photos!

Fotocodex's on line solution makes it so easy! Your guests can contribute directly to your wedding book! You have complete control over who can upload photos, who can help you edit the book, which photos actually get used! You have complete control without having to do all the work! Place up to 16 photos on a page! Create pages with just text or a mixture of text and photos. What could be easier and more rewarding way to immortalize your special day?

There is no longer a need to purchase disposable cameras nor rent digital ones. In the past they made it easy to gather together all the photos taken. However the photos were just of the reception. Most people nowadays have their own digital camera. Chances are they will take better pictures with a camera they own rather than with a disposable or rented one. Besides wouldn't you prefer a more complete perspective of your special event rather than just shots of the reception?
  • Fotocodex makes it easy to gather everyone's photos in one common and private place.
  • Fotocodex makes it easy to transform those photos into an heirloom quality wedding book.
  • Fotocodex uses the latest in digital photo printing technologies and all their wedding books are bound by hand. Their quality is stunning!
Fotocodex also makes it easy for your guests to give you a Fotocodex wedding book as a wedding present. Fotocodex wedding book packs are handsomely designed gift vouchers for their wedding books. Your guests may purchase one at the Fotocodex on line store. Your guests pay for your wedding book so that all you need to do is for you and your guests to make it! Visit the store.

Why rent or buy disposable cameras?

Use your guests' digital photos to make your wedding album!

You can buy disposable cameras or rent digital ones for your wedding reception. The problem is, they don't have the cameras before the reception and the shots are just not that great.

Chances are your guests already have a digital camera!

Today's ordinary digital camera produces great, sharp, colourful photos, unlike those disposable cameras. What's more, because they already have them, your guests already know how to use them and get great shots from them, throughout the day.

Signup now! Its free!
