Sending too many destinations
One link for portraits, another for candid photos, and a third for late uploads asks the client to become an archivist. If the audience is the same, use one event group and keep adding finished images there. If access needs differ, explain why there are separate groups rather than surprising people with them.
Include a sentence with the invitation: who can open it, what they will find, and whether they can upload.
Confusing viewers with contributors
Someone who should only browse does not need upload rights. A second photographer does. Decide roles deliberately, then check them before you send a reusable invite to a large audience.
Public sharing is another decision. Review a person gallery before making its link, and use an expiry or revoke it when the handoff is over.
Assuming AI results need no review
Face matching is a powerful shortcut, but event conditions are unpredictable. A missed profile or a false match is possible. Tell clients how to use My photos and when to return to All photos.
The final touch is a real recipient test: open the link on a phone outside the owner account. If you can understand the next step without explanation, your clients probably can too.
A clean handoff has one destination, clear roles, and a tested recipient view. Late photos can go into the existing group. Do not assume a face match is perfect or that everyone who receives a link understands what access it grants.
