For photographers
Instant AI galleries for the events you shoot.
Turn an iPad into an AI photo booth, stream from your camera over wifi, or import a Lightroom Classic batch. Smart culling keeps only the best of each burst — blinks, blur and duplicates out. Free retouch on every photo, premium AI styles when you want them. Galleries delivered to guests by SMS, email, or QR within minutes.

On autopilot
Set it once. The app runs the whole shoot.
Pick your retouch and style settings per event, then just shoot. Every frame runs the same pipeline on its own — no culling table, no sliders, no exports, no manual delivery. Nothing to install mid-shoot; it's on autopilot from shutter to phone.
Cull
Bursts are grouped automatically — blinks, blur and duplicate frames left out, only the strongest frame of each moment publishes.
Color & retouch
Free color grading, then every face gently finished — clean skin, balanced color, real texture kept. No slider to drag.
Your look
Your chosen look — a style pack, or one you describe in plain words — is applied to every keeper. You never open an editor.
Deliver
The polished gallery lands on guests' phones in real time, by SMS, email, or a QR on the booth.
Before · After
Every face, gently finished — not a global filter.
Blemishes and shine cleared, skin tone evened, color balanced, framing re-centered — applied per face while keeping real texture and the person intact. It runs on every keeper automatically; you never touch a slider.
The catalog · live gallery
A style for every event — streaming to a gallery that fills itself.
A deep library of curated AI looks — editorial, film, fashion, festive — or describe your own in plain English. Every pack runs per guest automatically, and the polished frames stream into the guest gallery in seconds: no tethered import, no end-of-night export. Guests watch their photos appear while the event's still going.
Live wall
Project the gallery on the wall — live.
One backend, three ways in
Match your capture workflow — or mix all three on the same event. One gallery, one set of retouch and style settings, every camera you bring.
iPad booth at the event
Set up the iPad on a stand. Guests tap, pick a style, snap a burst. Their styled gallery hits their phone in 30 seconds. The same iOS app runs in booth mode when you sign in as a photographer.
Lightroom Classic plugin
Export to Best Memories from inside Lightroom. We pick up your edits, run them through retouch + optional AI styles, and publish the gallery. Your existing workflow — supercharged.
Wifi-direct from your camera
Point your camera's built-in wifi upload at our worker (works with any Canon, Nikon, Sony, or Fujifilm that speaks FTP). We pull every frame as you shoot, retouch and style in parallel, and have a guest-shareable gallery ready before the reception ends.
Or run all three at once. Stream from your wifi camera, leave an iPad booth on a stand, and pull out your iPhone for off-stage moments — every frame lands in the same event gallery, with the same retouch settings and style pack you picked at setup.
Not just stills. Camera mode also captures boomerangs and short video clips — Normal or Slo-mo — and your wifi camera can stream full-length video too. Clips land in the same gallery and play automatically, ready to download and share. No AI cost.

New · Client sessions
Not just events — run your newborn, maternity, family & engagement sessions on it too
Shoot a regular client session the way you already do — iPhone for the candid in-betweens, your pro camera for the hero frames — and send both to one gallery. Best Memories culls, retouches every face, and applies your look automatically, so the family gets a polished, ready-to-share gallery the same day. No second editing night.
One gallery, two cameras
iPhone and your pro body land in the same session gallery — no card-shuffling, no re-import. Smart culling drops the blinks and dupes; only the keepers reach the family.
AI retouch + your custom packs
Per-face retouch on every frame, then your own style pack — soft film for newborns, airy light for maternity, your signature warm tone for families — applied to the whole set automatically.
Deliver same-day
The family opens a private, branded gallery on their phone within hours of the session — favorite, download, and share. You book the next session instead of editing this one.
List the session types you offer — newborn, maternity, family, engagement — right on your public profile page, so clients see exactly what you shoot.
Only the keepers
Find the strongest shots without sorting them. Every burst is scored for sharpness, exposure, and open eyes — only the keeper publishes to the real-time gallery. Then one clean finish is applied per photo, not a pile of variants. AI handles the pixels, so you can focus on the night.
Skips the blinks
Per-face detection drops closed-eye frames, so every published photo has eyes open — no more scrapping the group shot because one person blinked.
Drops blur & bad exposure
Each frame is scored for sharpness and exposure. Soft, motion-blurred, and blown-out shots are kept on file but never clutter the guest gallery.
One keeper per burst
Near-identical frames are grouped and only the strongest publishes — so the real-time gallery fills with keepers, not ten copies of the same moment.
You stay in control: pick one finish per event — free retouch, every-face finish, or a style pack — and toggle smart culling per event in seconds.
Two-tier styling
Free baseline polish on every photo. Premium AI transformation when you want it.
Free retouch on every photo
Every shot gets polished to perfection the moment it's taken — gallery-ready before you even look at it. Every photo, every tier, zero AI cost.
Unlimited AI styles
Pick from a deep catalog of curated packs — or describe your own in plain English and have it ready in seconds.
New revenue · No new software
Add a photo booth to your services
The events you already shoot can carry a second line item. Stand an iPad on a tripod in the corner and you're running an AI photo booth — same app, same gallery, same look as your camera coverage. Guests self-serve all night while you shoot; every booth shot lands in the same event gallery, retouched and styled. One booking, two services, more per event.
An iPad on a stand
A tablet, a tripod or stand, and a ring light is the whole booth. Lock the iPad in booth mode and guests tap, pose, and snap on their own.
Or a phone rig to roam
A phone on a grip with a light becomes a roaming booth you carry — perfect for cocktail hour and the dance floor between hero shots.
One gallery, one look
Booth, camera and phone all feed the same event gallery with the same retouch and style — the client gets one cohesive set, not three.

Included free · No extra cost
And a free website for your photography business
Every account comes with a polished, hosted website at bestmemories.ai/you — your portfolio, services, prices, and a contact form in one place. Paste your current site and we auto-fill it in seconds. Pick a design and recolor it to your brand, then connect your own custom domain (like yourstudio.com) on Pro & Studio. Reason enough to move off Squarespace or Pixieset — and it's free.
Classic
Clean single column on warm dark — the original Best Memories look.
Six designs, your brand

Get found, booked, and paid
Built-in SEO, social-share cards, an inquiries inbox — and real payments: clients reserve a package with a deposit right on your page, straight into your own Stripe account, no commission.
Everything that runs after the shutter
