Your galleries. Your server. Your name above the door.
A photo and video gallery for wedding photographers and videographers who want to keep their work on their own storage, under their own domain and branding.
The working gallery behind Weddings By Mark has been developed and used for two years. I’m now looking for five photographers and videographers to trial the separate, self-hosted Ivory Gallery edition for 60 days with full functionality. The app and licence are free for the trial period; you provide your own server and storage.
Two years in the making. Already working at real weddings.
Mark built and uses the original gallery system inside Weddings By Mark. Couples already receive their photographs and videos through it. Ivory Gallery is the separate commercial version being shaped for other studios.
A proper home for the whole story.
Control where the files live and how couples experience them, while keeping the practical studio tools close at hand.
Your own storage
Photographs and videos remain on the storage you provide. You choose the server, its capacity and your backup approach.
Your domain, your look
Present galleries under your own domain with your business name, logo and styling rather than a generic delivery link.
No per-gallery charges
Create galleries without being charged for each one. Hosting, storage and any commercial licence terms will be clear before launch.
Favourites and album choices
Couples can mark their favourites and make structured album selections, keeping their choices attached to the gallery.
Automatic cover identification
The system identifies album cover images automatically, helping galleries look organised from the start.
QR uploads and voice messages
Guests can add photos and videos through a QR code and leave personal voice messages for the couple.
Light and dark views
Choose a gallery presentation that suits the story and the way your photographs look best.
Downloads, health and backup
Bulk downloads show live progress. Health monitoring and backup tools help you look after the system behind the gallery.
More than a download link.
A gallery should be somewhere couples want to return to. Their photographs, videos, favourite moments and guest contributions live in one familiar place.

Run it on your own server.
Ivory Gallery is being developed for self-hosting on Linux servers, including TrueNAS setups. Your media stays on the storage you control, and the gallery can carry your own domain and identity.
For your studio
Keep your galleries and files on the infrastructure you choose, with health and backup tools that help you maintain it. Installation and support details for the commercial edition will be confirmed before release.
For your couples
Give them a polished place to view photographs, watch videos, choose favourites and hear messages from the people who shared their day.
Questions worth asking.
Clear answers about the server, the trial and the difference between the working gallery and the commercial edition.
Where will my photographs and videos be stored?
On the storage you provide for your self-hosted server. Ivory Gallery is being developed for Linux servers, including TrueNAS setups, so your media remains on infrastructure you control.
Can I use my own domain and branding?
That is the plan for the separate Ivory Gallery edition: your domain, business name, logo and styling. The screenshots on this page show Mark’s fully working Weddings By Mark gallery, which is the foundation for the new edition.
What is included in the 60-day trial?
Mark is inviting five photographers or videographers to test the self-hosted app with full functionality for 60 days. There is no app or licence charge during that period. You provide your own server and storage; setup and what happens after the trial are explained before you join.
Is there a charge for each gallery?
No per-gallery charge. Your own hosting and storage remain your responsibility. Any commercial licence terms after the trial will be explained before you decide whether to continue.
Is Ivory Gallery already the same app used by Weddings By Mark?
The original gallery has been developed for two years and is fully working in Mark’s wedding business. Ivory Gallery is a separate, customisable edition being prepared for other photographers and videographers.
Five studios. Full functionality. 60 days.
I’m inviting five photographers and videographers to self-host Ivory Gallery on their own server for 60 days. There’s no charge for the app or licence during the trial, and you’ll have the full functionality to put it through its paces. Tell me about your studio and your Linux or TrueNAS setup, and I’ll explain the installation and what happens at the end of the trial before you join.
