Thanks for replying.

What I'm looking to do is;

1) Set up a website

2) Have my clients (Photogs) arrange to take "candid" digital shots of the wedding and reception and...

3) Go to my website....enter in their Password. This allows them to get into THEIR portion of the site...where all of THEIR Photo Albums are stored, in the Last Name of the Groom (Jones Wedding, Smith Wedding, Brown Wedding)

4) To create a New Album (of, say, 20 photo Thumbnails)....they type the Name of the Album (Johnson Wedding) into a box and hit "Enter". This brings up a Template that allows them to upload their 20 Photos (jpgs) Preferably, this "UpLoading of JPEGS" can be done thru their web browser, instead of having to use a FTP program. The "simpler" the better.

5) The Name of the Wedding is then placed on the first page of the site so that anyone wanting to see photos of THAT wedding can....see the Name of the Wedding and just click on the Name....and the 20 Photo "Thumbnail Page" will come up.


I work with and know a LOT of "Hotel Managers" who hold a LOT of Wedding Receptions. The competition for these "Reception Halls" is GREAT. Anyone offering better service or something unique....that would be of benefit to those renting these "Reception Rooms"....would have a "competitive advantage" in their area.....and very possibly....rent more receptions.

So....what these "Halls" can do is offer a "Unique Service" where photos of the wedding and reception will be taken (by a "Hall" Staff Member) and posted on the website....the evening of the reception...or the next day...so those who could not attend the wedding or reception (or even those who did attend)....could go to the website and SEE PHOTOS THAT EVENING, or the next day.

Would THIS "Feature" get more "Wedding" business for Photogs AND Reception Halls?

I think so.

My "photog buddy" AND....the Sales & Marketing Manager of a large Hotel that has 3 big Reception Halls.....is VERY interested in what I'm looking to provide.

Any technical help would be much appreciated.
