Everything in One Place, Finally
Your clients don't think in terms of "photo files" versus "video files." They think in terms of memories from their special day. Wedding ceremony? That's photos AND the vows video. Corporate event? That's headshots AND the keynote speech. Real estate? That's room photos AND the walkthrough tour.
SendPhoto understands this. Upload photos and videos together. Organize them into collections that make sense. Share one link. Clients see everything in one beautiful, unified gallery—exactly as they expect.
The Video Delivery Nightmare
Video files are massive. Email won't handle them. YouTube is public. Vimeo limits uploads. WeTransfer expires. Clients want videos and photos in ONE place, not scattered across platforms.
File Size Limitations Everywhere
Email maxes out at 25MB. A single 2-minute 4K video can be 2GB. Even free file transfer services struggle with large video files, throttling uploads or requiring paid accounts for anything substantial. You're a professional dealing with professional-quality files—why should you compromise?
YouTube & Vimeo Are Wrong Tools
YouTube is public by default. Vimeo's free tier limits uploads and adds branding. Both require separate accounts, neither integrates with your photo delivery. Clients have to navigate two different platforms to see their complete deliverables. It's fragmented, unprofessional, and confusing.
WeTransfer & Dropbox Expire
WeTransfer links die in 7 days. Client away on vacation? Link's gone when they return. Dropbox works but requires yet another platform, folders get messy, and it's not built for client presentation—it's file storage with sharing as an afterthought. Clients deserve better than file trees and download buttons.
The Fragmentation Problem
Photos on SendPhoto. Ceremony video on Vimeo. Reception highlights on YouTube. Speech video in Google Drive. Your client just wants to see their wedding—instead they're managing four different links, four different platforms, four different viewing experiences. It's chaos masquerading as delivery.
Why This Kills Your Business
Wedding photographers shoot video now—it's expected. Event photographers capture both stills and motion. Real estate demands property tours. Yet we're all cobbling together half-solutions with platforms never designed for professional media delivery. The result? Frustrated clients, complicated workflows, and an unprofessional final impression that contradicts the premium service you provided. Modern photography demands modern delivery. Duct-taping together consumer platforms isn't it.

Wedding Photography & Videography
How Jessica delivers complete wedding coverage in one gallery
Jessica shoots both photo and video for weddings. She captures 600 still images and produces three videos: a 5-minute ceremony highlight, a 3-minute reception montage, and a 90-second teaser. Instead of juggling multiple platforms, she uploads everything to SendPhoto in organized collections.
Ceremony Collection
150 photos + 5-minute ceremony video
Reception Collection
300 photos + 3-minute reception montage
Portraits Collection
150 photos + 90-second teaser
The couple gets one link. One gallery. Photos and videos organized by event flow. They share it with family who stream videos on their phones during lunch breaks. No confusion. No multiple platforms. Just beautiful, complete wedding coverage delivered professionally.
Corporate Event Coverage
How Marcus captures keynotes, panels, and networking
Marcus covers a three-day tech conference. He shoots executive headshots, candid networking moments, and records full keynote presentations. Each day has its own collection mixing photos and videos. Day one keynote? That's environmental shots of the venue plus a 45-minute speaker video. Panel discussion? Headshots of panelists plus 20 minutes of highlights.
The conference organizer shares the single gallery link in the post-event email. Attendees browse photos and rewatch keynotes they missed. Speakers download their talk videos for social media. Everything lives in one professional gallery that reinforces the conference brand.
Client Feedback:
"Previous years we used Flickr for photos and YouTube for videos. Attendees complained about the fragmentation. This year with SendPhoto, everything was in one place. Event ROI improved because people could easily revisit and share content."
Real Estate Property Tours
How Chen sells luxury properties with photos and video
Chen specializes in luxury real estate photography. For each property, he delivers 40-50 interior and exterior photos plus a 2-minute cinematic walkthrough video. The photos show rooms in perfect lighting. The video gives buyers the spatial flow and feeling of moving through the home.
Real estate agents share SendPhoto galleries in listing emails and on property websites. Prospective buyers browse room photos then watch the walkthrough to understand layout. Properties with video tours get 3x more engagement than photo-only listings. Agents love sending one link instead of juggling photo galleries and separate YouTube embeds.
Sports & Action Photography
How Alex delivers game photos and highlight reels
Alex shoots high school sports. For each game, he captures 200+ action shots and creates a 90-second highlight video set to music. Parents want both—the individual shots of their kid scoring AND the full game energy captured in video form.
After each game, Alex uploads photos and highlight video to a SendPhoto gallery. Parents share the gallery link in team group chats. Kids rewatch highlight videos on their phones. Proud parents download their child's best shots for printing. Everything organized by game, by season, in one easy-to-navigate system.
