Wedding Slide Show!
Your wedding
reception, wedding rehearsal dinner, wedding
shower or wedding occasion is going to be extra
special if you can present a wedding slide show
of the bride and groom as they grow up through
the years. We have done many of these special
shows and they are real tear-jerkers. This is a
very sentimental time for the bride and groom so
what better way to bring back all the memories
of growing up to reach this special time in
their lives than to have a wedding slide show
presentation of your 35mm slides or photos all
digitized and placed on a disk that you can play
in your DVD player or play it from your computer
and onto a video projector. This special wedding occasion is really an ideal
time to have music added to the slide shwo. Please see our
Musical Slide Show page for details.
What Is A Wedding Slide Show?
A wedding slide show is a series of photographs set to music on video. The number of photographs or 35mm slides that you choose for the wedding slide show depends on the length of the song and the amount of time allotted for each image display. A typical musical selection usually allows for approximately 40 to 50 photographs. Wedding slide shows are a great way to display and reproduce your photographs. Copies of the wedding slide show can be made to give to the parents of the bride and groom.
Prepare Early For Your Wedding Slide Show.
Make sure you are planning on your wedding slide show well ahead of time to make sure it will be ready when you need it. Start gathering your 35mm slides and photos soon so that you will have a good selection for your wedding slide show. A lot of planning and preparation goes into a wedding slide show so don't wait until the last minute. You can put multiple "shows" or "chapters" into the wedding slide show. The first part of the wedding slide show could be photos of the bride from baby pictures and up to as close to the wedding day as possible. The second part of the wedding slide show could be for the photos of the groom. There could even be a third show that has the bride and groom as they were dating and engaged.
We can setup the music in the wedding slide show so that the picture display will be coordinated with the length of the musical piece or you can estimate how many photos you want to show for the music piece. You don't want the slides to pause for too short of a time so you have to pick enough pictures or slides to fit the time that it takes to play the music. If the music piece plays for 3 minutes and you want a 5 second pause for each picture, then you could use 36 photos. We will take care of this for you, if we use our beautiful Royalty free music.
Some people may own their own music and want to put that on their disk. That is fine, but you have to provide us with the Original CD disk. We cannot accept any MP3s or duplicate disks. We have to protect ourselves from the RIA and their lawyers. If you want us to add your personal music to the DVD-R disk, the charge is an additional $10 per track. You should use our calculator, below, to calculate how many pictures you need to fill the play time of the music.

When Should You Display The Wedding Slide Show?
Most people show the wedding slide show at the wedding reception and after or during the meal, if there is one. You want to have the wedding slide show early enough so that nobody has left but late enough so that nobody will miss it.
