Your Wedding Slideshow Music |

1. Do not make it too long. This is definately a point to stress. 6 - 10 minutes maximum. This way you will keep the attention of your audience. If you don't want to make the slideshow a main event, but would like to run it continually in the background on a laptop, then make it as long as you wish. 2. Choose photographs or short video clips that will bring forth some emotional response from your guests. Think about a 2 year old groom in a bubble bath, the bride getting ready for her matric dance, or a school photo of a toothless smile. 3. Keep in mind that although you might know who the people in the photos are, some of your guests might not. Therefore categorize your slideshow into two or perhaps three categories or "scenes" - one of the bride before she met the groom, one of the groom before his life with the bride and then one of their lives since they met. If you are using two categories, then make it one of the couple as they are growing up and the second section of the two together. Seperate each one with a small text introduction and different wedding slideshow music or songs. 4. Avoid using too much text. People don't want to have to read too much. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words! 5. Add some movement to your wedding slideshow. Don't just rely on transitions between photos. Zoom into some of the pictures and add some video footage if you have. Below are some examples of good wedding slideshow music to enhance your montage perfectly: The Bride Growing Up: Brown-Eyed
