Hello all new to canon and photography in general.
I am having a party and wedding soon.
I thought of setting up a Photo Booth using my canon rebel T7.
what I want to be able to do is leave the camera on a tripod with a tablet on the wall for people to position and see the screen then press the shoot button. Self timer initiated for the photo.
I would then like the camera to send / upload the pic to my smart phone without me interacting with the camera so I can upload the photo/s to a website with a live social wall to display the pics.
I can connect camera to a pc and use a small screen and mouse for shooting or use remote shooting wireless with an android tablet (galaxy a)
what I’m unsure about is getting the pics to my smart phone without having to manually do it.
I am happy to manually upload if my smart phone can connect to camera wirelessly at the same time as having it set up to take the pics.
hope that makes sense. Suggestions welcome.

Just to make it clear I know I can set up wireless shooting on my phone collect it upload. What I want to do is have my smart phone connected for retreating the pics and a 2nd device used for the guest to take the pics in the booth. That way I don’t have to enter the booth retrieve the device upload re set up shooting mode.

Tommy,
Will you be present the whole time?
I don't know if this will help, but I shoot remotely all the time using my tablet.
One thing to know is that your camera cannot have two wireless connections going at the same time. If you're wirelessly connected to your tablet, you would have to disconnect from that in order to connect to your phone.
When I shoot wirelessly with my tablet, the photos are temporarily stored on my tablet. I can then download those for permanent storage to my tablet. At that point, you could email a copy of that picture to yourself (if your email account is on both tablet and cell phone), or send them by text message (if your tablet has messaging - mine doesn't), or upload them to a website like you mentioned, or print them out or whatever.
The key, I think, is not to get your photos from the camera to the cell phone, but from your tablet to the cell phone.
