I like this idea more and more as I see it.

One note, the text on the "Add New Photo" link says "Please not that "... That should be "note" not "not".

Additionally, the section after the email instructions seems like it could use some rephrasing.

Does the album owner get teaser emails close to the expiration of the album reminding them to either download the archive or pay more to keep it online?

You should also make an option so the album owner can send a message to all the email addresses that sent in photos. A use case would be to notify all the people that submitted pictures to download the archive before it's removed.

Kudos, this is a neat project. I see a clear path to success with the wedding industry. Simply posting some signs around a venue asking people to visit pixomize.com/SomeWedding2014 or emailing their pictures to SomeWedding2014@pixomize.com would be great. In fact, you could charge more for the service if you target that demographic.

Thanks for the heads up for the typo. Will be fixed in the next push. Will rephrase the second instruction after also.

Currently the album owner gets teaser emails that the album is about to expire. Owner cannot buy "more online time" yet but that is on my road map. I will not need that feature before some weeks when the first albums start expiring :)

Good point about an option for the owner to send email. I will think about it. There is already a automatic notify that is sent to everyone who posted to the expiring album saying "the album is expired now, but you can still download all the photos as a zip file from this link".
