The couple sees boudoir. The 200 guests do not. Same gallery, one link each, no duplicate uploads. Here is how per-chapter visibility works in practice.
Every wedding photographer eventually faces the same problem. You deliver one gallery for the couple, full access, every chapter including boudoir. You need a different version for the 200 wedding guests, ceremony, portraits, and reception, nothing private.
The usual answer is painful: create a second gallery, upload a subset of the photos again, manage two separate deliveries, and remember to update both when the client requests changes.
Artilio solves this with per-chapter visibility.
One gallery, multiple access views
In Artilio, a gallery has chapters. The couple's wedding gallery has five: Preparation, Ceremony, Portraits, Reception, and Boudoir.
When you set up access, you configure each access grant separately. The couple's link gives access to all five chapters. The guest link gives access to three: Ceremony, Portraits, Reception. The Boudoir and Preparation chapters are completely invisible to guests, not blurred, not passworded, not in the navigation at all.
You uploaded photos once. You manage one gallery. The photos appear in the right view automatically based on who is looking.
