How to Keep Your Brand (Not Your Host's) on Shared Galleries

How to make sure your own branding, not your gallery platform's, is what guests see and remember on every shared client gallery.

Keeping your own brand on a shared gallery means your logo, colours and, ideally, your own domain are what a guest sees and remembers, rather than the gallery platform's name or a 'powered by' link sitting somewhere on the page.

Check what guests actually see

Open a recent gallery as a guest would, on both desktop and mobile, and note anything that is not your own branding: a platform logo, a footer credit, or a link that leads away from your site.

What to prioritise

Your logo and brand colours, prominently placed.
A connected domain, if your platform supports one, rather than a shared subdomain.
No visible platform branding on the gallery itself.

Why this compounds over time

Every gallery a guest sees is a small brand impression. Consistently keeping that impression as yours, not a third party's, builds recognition across every wedding, event and session you deliver, rather than quietly building recognition for your gallery host instead.

Keep full branding control on every gallery

Frequently asked questions

How do I check if my gallery platform is showing its own branding?

View a recent gallery as a guest would and look for any logo, footer credit or link that is not yours. Check both desktop and mobile, since branding sometimes differs.

Does a connected domain matter for branding?

It helps. A gallery on your own domain reads as fully your studio's, rather than a shared subdomain that visibly belongs to the platform.

Is this worth the effort for a small studio?

Yes. Every gallery a guest sees is a brand impression, and keeping that impression consistently yours compounds across every shoot you deliver.
