A long trestle table down a walled garden at dusk under festoon bulbs, the groom standing halfway along to pour somebody a glass

A bride seen from behind on the lawn at dusk, her bouquet in the air and a knot of guests reaching up for it

Looking down the length of the candlelit wedding table at night, guests either side turned in with their glasses raised — to the ones who came

A packed barn dance floor late at night, flash-lit and smeared by the slow shutter, the bride barefoot in the middle of it

Guests throwing confetti over a bride and groom as they come out of the stone doorway of a country house in low afternoon sun — out the front door

A crowd of mismatched glasses being filled at the end of the wedding table at night, hands reaching in to take them

Two women guests hugging hard in the open doorway of the barn, the lit dance floor blurred behind them — finally, in person

A bride and groom cutting the cake together under a burning sparkler, guests crowded in around them with their phones up

A bride and groom holding each other in the first dance on the plank floor of a barn, guests ringed around them, festoon bulbs on the roof beams

A golden retriever in a crooked bow tie sitting up on a gold chair beside the table, an abandoned glass and a buttonhole rose next to him — murphy, best dressed

The best man on his feet mid-speech at the table, one hand out, the guests either side of him laughing

A flower girl in a white dress and red trainers fast asleep on a folded coat beside the wedding table, among fallen confetti and kicked-off shoes

Guests holding lit sparklers up in two lines outside the barn, their faces lit from below by the sparks

Everyone shoots.
Nobody looks
until it’s over.

Capsule is one roll of film for a whole event. Twelve shots each, no previews, no deleting — and in the morning the entire night comes back as one stack.

4.2m: Photographs handed back

How it works

Four steps. The third one is the whole idea.

Two minutes to start a film. Nothing to download, no accounts, and no way for anyone to look early — including you.

01 june 14, 11pm setup

Start the film

Name it, pick when it seals and when it develops. Two minutes, no app for you to explain to anyone.

02 12 each. spend them well shooting

Hand out the shots

One link or one QR on the table. Guests get a set number of shots — 12 is the house default — and no account to make.

03 sealed until sunday sealed

Nobody sees anything

Not the guests, not you. Every shot goes straight into the sealed film. No feed, no likes, no one performing for a camera roll.

04 all of it, at once developed

It all comes back at once

At the time you set, the film develops. Everyone who shot gets the whole roll — every angle of the night you were too busy to see.

The app itself

The whole product is four screens.

One to start the film. One that lands in a guest’s messages. One camera that shows nothing back, on purpose. And one that hands the night back.

nobody has to learn anything.

01 Start the film

Pick the occasion, name it, and choose when it opens. Two minutes.
02 Hand it out

One link. No download, no sign-up, no password to forget.
03 Shoot your shots

A camera in the browser, a count of what is left, and nothing shown back.
04 The reveal

At the time you set, the seal breaks and the whole roll develops.

Where the films go

Same rule every time.
Completely different nights.

A wedding, a kitchen, the back of a car at dusk. The film does not care what the occasion is — it just refuses to show anyone anything until it’s over.

A bride laughing on a staircase while two bridesmaids crouch to fix the back of her dress in soft daylight — the bit the pro missed

Weddings

The photographer got the ceremony. Your friends got the rest.

A photographer leaves at eleven. The dance floor at one in the morning, the kitchen, the smoking corner, the speech nobody planned — those only exist on your guests’ cameras. Capsule collects them into one roll instead of forty camera rolls you will never see.

340 shots on an average wedding film

Twelve shots each. Suddenly everyone is a photographer.

A limit makes people think before they shoot. You get one good photograph of the cake instead of nine identical ones, and the person holding the camera is actually at the party.

12 shots per guest, the house default

Seal it on the way out. Develop it on the way home.

Nobody edits a photo on day two. Nobody posts from the car. The whole trip arrives at once when you are back and missing it, which is exactly when you want it.

9 days the longest film we would recommend

Family, work, and everything else.

Reunions where nobody looks up. Launch parties nobody live-tweets. A leaving do, a supper club, a Sunday that went long. Same film, same rule.

Questions

What people ask
before the party.

The six that come up every time — including the one about consent, which we would rather answer out loud than bury.

Read the help centre Fifteen more answers — hosting, shooting, and privacy.

Do my guests need the app?

No. They tap the link, the camera opens in their browser, and they shoot. No download, no sign-up, no password. That is the whole reason people actually use it.

Why can’t anyone see the photos during the party?

Because that is the product. The moment a photo is visible, people start taking photos for other people. Sealing the film means the camera goes back to being a way of remembering rather than a way of performing.

What does a guest see while the film is sealed?

A counter of shots left, and the last frame they took for about a second after they take it — the way a Polaroid gives you a moment before it goes in your pocket. Nothing else.

How many shots should I give people?

Twelve for a party, twenty-four for a wedding, thirty-six for a weekend. More than that and the limit stops meaning anything.

When does the film develop?

Whenever you set. Most hosts pick the following morning, which is the correct answer — everyone wakes up to the whole night at once.

What happens to photos of people who did not consent?

Anyone in a film can ask for a frame to be pulled, before or after it develops, and it goes. Hosts can pull anything from their own film at any time.
