If you’ve been to a wedding ceremony in recent years, you’ve probably seen a wedding photo slideshow, most often running in DVD Player or PC. This is actually a great way to add a personalized new dimension to the special occasion. However, I often find the wedding ceremonies about four times too long and kind of dull. While at Mike and Monica’s wedding last weekend in New York, I did some thinking about wedding slideshow.
I arrived at some basic wedding slideshow tips for building a perfect wedding slideshow:
Make a perfect wedding slideshow
- • Brevity is the soul of wit. Ideally, the wedding slideshow shouldn’t be more than two songs, or about 8 minutes, in length.
- • Wedding songs are a very important factor to consider when planning a wedding. They set the general mood and tone for wedding ceremony or reception.
- • Every wedding photo should elicit an emotional response. Whether it’s the groom’s mullet in grade 8, or grandma who’s no longer with us, or the bride all kitted out during her hen night (er, bachlorette party), they should each make us laugh or tear up. They all don’t have to be gut-busting or heart-wrenching, but they shouldn’t leave you cold.
- • Do you have any home videos sitting around gathering dust? Think about adding perhaps some 10-15 second wedding video clips in the middle of the wedding slideshow.
- • Keep in mind that most guests will fail to recognize most people in most of the wedding photos.
- • Avoid artistic conceits or complicated narrative structures. From birth to present seems to work fine.
- • Don’t use too much text. Dates and places are fine, but eschew silly captions.
- Mike actually did a clever thing with his wedding slideshow. He was a little nervous about 200 people watching him dance the first dance, so he ran the show during the dance, as a sort of weapon of mass distraction.
