Hide photos, or show them to the couple only

Updated 12 Sep 2026

Select photos, then use the bar that appears at the bottom:

  • Hide. Removes the photos from the gallery for everyone, including the couple. They stay in your studio. Use it for a blink, a duplicate, or a frame you do not want delivered.
  • Couple only. The couple can see these photos after entering their email. Guests never see them. Use it for boudoir, first-look reactions, or anything the wider guest list should not browse.

Both are also on a single photo’s ⋯ menu.

Three levels, side by side

HideOnly youThe photo’s ⋯ menu, or select and Hide
Couple onlyYou and the couple. Guests never see itThe photo’s ⋯ menu, or select and Couple only

The first two are your decisions and happen on the photo. The third is a setting you can switch on for the couple. See Let the couple hide photos from guests.

Who counts as the couple

Settings → Privacy → Couple’s email sets which email address unlocks couple-only photos.
