Why 24
Because that’s the format of a film roll. Not a number picked in a meeting, not a default you could bump to 36 or 100: the format that shaped a century of family photography. With 24 exposures you can cover a whole evening — provided you choose.
And that’s exactly what we’re selling you: guests who choose. An unlimited gallery produces 400 photos per table, twelve of them worth looking at. A 24-exposure film roll produces 24 decisions.
The constraint isn’t a limitation of the product. It is the product.
What scarcity changes
When every exposure counts, you look up before you shoot. You wait for the moment — the father’s speech, the wobbling cake, grandma dancing. You don’t spray the same toast from six angles.
It also changes the party itself. Your guests don’t spend dinner behind their screens: they shoot, the shutter closes, the film advances, and they put the phone down. Tata Nicole is designed to make people look up, not to hold their gaze.

The table of refusals
Every refusal is stated with what it buys you. Here’s the contract, in full:
| What we refuse | What it buys you |
|---|---|
| No preview, no retakes | Photos taken for real, not poses redone three times |
| 24 exposures, non-adjustable | Guests who choose their moments instead of spraying |
| One film look for the whole event | An album coherent from cover to cover, not 80 different filters |
| No video, no camera-roll imports | What your guests actually lived that night, nothing else |
| Nothing visible before the development | The party first, the screen after — and a true reveal |
No preview, no retakes
After a click: black screen, shutter sound, film advance. No thumbnail of the photo you just took. It’s uncomfortable for the first five minutes — then it’s liberating. Nothing left to check, nothing left to redo: you’re given back to the party.
It’s also what makes the photos true. The teary aunt’s missed shot belongs in the album as much as the perfect portrait. Nobody curated their own image before giving it to you.
Tata Nicole €39 per event
A 24-exposure film roll for each of your guests, a development at the time you choose, the archive delivered at the end.
Create your eventNo camera-roll imports
With most competitors, you can upload photos from your gallery into the “disposable camera”. A disposable you can load from your camera roll is no longer a disposable: it’s a shared folder in retro clothing.
With Tata Nicole, an exposure is taken in the app or it doesn’t exist. Your album holds what your guests lived that night — not their drafts, not their archives, not Tuesday’s cat photo.
One film look
You choose your wedding’s film look — it’s your “colour”. Every roll of the night uses it. Eighty guests, one grain, one light: the album reads like a reportage, not like a social feed.
The wait until development
Nothing is visible before the date and time you set — not for your guests, not for you. The one exception is the venue screen, optional and moderated, which shows photos during the evening with a delay.
That wait isn’t a frustration to endure: it’s the ritual. The morning notification, the contact sheet filling exposure after exposure, the note on the back discovered last. Instant albums don’t have a morning.
FAQ
01Can the number of exposures be increased?
No, and it’s not a hidden setting. 24 exposures for everyone, at every wedding. If that constraint doesn’t suit you, another service will suit you better — it’s a deliberate choice.
02What happens when a guest has used all 24 exposures?
Their film roll is complete. They can then leave you the note on the back, and enjoy the party. Their photos wait for the development, like everyone else’s.
03Are unused exposures lost?
Yes, like on a real film roll. A guest who takes 9 exposures gives you 9 photos. And that’s fine: nobody should spray just to “finish” their roll.
04What if a guest misses an important photo?
Then it’s missed — and another guest probably caught it. That’s the strength of the setup: eighty points of view beat one retake.
