Multi-media montage: nostalgia on screen Use family pictures to create a biographical show Return to articles index | Photography | Videography A popular wedding entertainment is a multi-media slide show, sometimes known as a "retrospective montage." It's the presentation of your unique love story at your reception. These shows are created by a photographer who has the expertise and special equipment to turn your and your fiance's snapshots into a wonderfully romantic and nostalgic slide show. It is set to music, generally about 10 to 15 minutes in length, and presented while your guests are seated at the reception. These shows can also be a part of your ceremony -- with the approval of your pastor or officiator. First, they'll see baby pictures, yours and his, then first birthday cakes, first steps, first days at kindergarten. Then your teen years with friends and pets; cheerleading and band uniforms; slumber parties; football scrimmage with neighborhoood pals; and graduations. The slides blend one into another, showing your lives separately, each with your own family and friends. Then, there are pictures of you two together, forming your relationship. You'll relive your engagement, your bridal showers and your wedding preparations leading up to this special day. Your family and friends will want to see it over again -- espcially when so many of them are in it! An option is for you to have it all on videotape, CD or DVD for you to review any time you wish. Create a montage as a special surprise for your parents. (Of course, they could also create it for you.) It's a wonderful trip down memory lane for you and your guests. You can view an example of such a show by appointement with a photographer who advertises it. Return to articles index |
