Editing an image section

Upload and display photos on your website with options for captions, clickable links, and photo grid layouts.

Image sections let you add photos to your wedding website. You can add one photo or create a grid of multiple photos.

What you can do with image sections

Upload one or more photos to display on your site.

Create photo grids with multiple images.

Add captions to describe your photos.

Make images clickable to link to other pages or websites.

Customize the layout with different grid sizes.

Adding an image section

  1. Go to Site in your main navigation
  2. Click Add a new section
  3. Choose Image from the list
  4. Upload your photo(s) and fill in the fields
  5. Click Save changes

Fields you can edit

Photo: The image file you want to display. Click Upload photo to choose a file.

Caption: Optional text that appears with your image. Could be a description or label.

Description: Additional text about the image.

Make clickable: Check this if you want the image to be a link.

Custom URL: If the image is clickable, where should it link to?

The exact fields might vary slightly based on your theme, but these are the main ones.

Uploading photos

  1. Click Upload photo
  2. Choose an image file from your computer (JPG, PNG, or GIF)
  3. The image uploads and appears in your section

For best results, use high-quality images. The site will resize them automatically, but starting with good photos makes a difference.

Adding multiple images

To create a photo grid:

  1. Add your first image section
  2. Add another image section right after it
  3. Keep adding images

Multiple images in a row display as a grid. You can manually change the sizes and alignment later if needed.

Making images clickable

Want your photo to link somewhere?

  1. Check the box for Make clickable
  2. Enter the Custom URL where it should link
  3. Save your changes

Now when guests click the image, they'll go to that URL. This could be a link to your photo gallery, a vendor's website, or anywhere else.

Photo captions and descriptions

Caption: Short text that appears with the image, like a label or title.

Description: Longer text if you want to provide more context.

Both are optional. Use them if they add value, skip them if the image speaks for itself.

Image size and quality

Recommended size: Images around 1200-2000 pixels wide work well. They'll look sharp on all devices without being too large.

File size: Try to keep individual photos under 2MB. Really large files can slow down your site.

File format: JPG is best for photos. PNG works too but creates larger files.

The site handles most sizing automatically, but starting with good quality images helps.

Tips for using images

Show your personality. Photos of you two, your venue, your pets, whatever represents you.

Mix it up. Include engagement photos, candid shots, venue photos, and detail shots.

Don't overload your site. A few great photos are better than tons of mediocre ones.

Optimize before uploading. If your photos are huge files straight from a camera, resize them first to speed up your site.

Test on mobile. Make sure your images look good on phones, not just computers.

Creating a photo gallery

Want a dedicated photo gallery page?

  1. Create a new page called "Photos" or "Gallery"
  2. Add multiple image sections to that page
  3. Let them flow into a grid layout

Or use multiple image sections on your home page to create a mini gallery.

Editing an existing image

  1. Go to Site in your main navigation
  2. Click on the image section you want to edit
  3. To replace the photo, click Delete photo then Upload photo to add a new one
  4. Update captions or settings as needed
  5. Click Save changes

Deleting an image

To remove an image section entirely, click Delete section at the bottom of the editor.

To just remove the photo but keep the section, click Delete photo.

Customizing image sections

You can also customize:

Space above and below: Adjust padding around your images.

Size: Some themes let you control how large images display.

Colors: Background color behind or around images.

Privacy: Make images visible to everyone or just certain guests.

These options are available in the section editor depending on your theme.
