Seven out of 10 brides have a wedding website to share (Source: TheKnot.com & WeddingChannel.com 2011 Registry Study), making it the definitive form of communication between couples and their wedding guests. With the integration of Capsule into TheKnot.com wedding websites, brides can now instantly allow guests to add photos to a central album via their mobile devices; at the same time, it enables couples to see their wedding day from every angle without ever having to leave their wedding website.

"When your friends and family are on a multitude of social networks – be it Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or Instagram – it can be nearly impossible to keep track of, let alone see, all the photos wedding guests take," said Cyrus Farudi, CEO of Capsule. "With Capsule's group photo-sharing app integrated into TheKnot.com wedding websites, couples can now rest assured that all the celebratory moments will be captured and organized into one central album."

Acutely aware of the heightened role of technology and the use of mobile devices to capture photos at weddings, TheKnot.com sought a solution that would enable engaged couples to easily see all of their wedding guests' photos in one location. Capsule now provides such a service to brides on TheKnot.com, allowing their guests to not only contribute candid photos to a shared album on their personal wedding website via iPhone, Android, Instagram or the web, but to also download high-resolution images, easily interact with other guests, and comment and share images to their own social networks.

"We're thrilled to provide brides and their wedding guests a new way to interact all on one platform," said Carley Roney, cofounder and editor in chief of TheKnot.com. "TheKnot.com has always strived to make wedding planning and wedding sharing as easy as possible, and with the integration of Capsule's photo-sharing technology, our wedding websites ensure a central home for memories that will last far beyond the reception."

"We're very excited to partner with the driving force behind the online wedding community and be a part of how couples plan, share, celebrate and remember their wedding," added Farudi.
