    Tips on making your own Wedding photo montage

    Pick a good photo resolution
    Use equal number photo of the bride and groom. You don’t want to end up showing more photos of the bride than the groom.
    Balance is the key!
    Limit yourself to use 1 or 2 photo transitions (Eg: Fade, slide or wipe). Otherwise, it will look dizzy and confusing.
    If you decide to emphasize on one particular photo, hold it for additional 2-4 seconds or zoom in to the main object to focus it.
    If you have a video or 2, you can add in to your photo montage for added wow and fun impression.
    Pick 40-50 photos for 3-4 mins song or 60-80 photos for 6-8 mins song.
    Look for a suitable songs to create different emotional in different chapter in the video (Romantic, fun or thrilling)
    If you are planning to make MV story video, add in some sound effect to create more emotions which is more realistic. Just google free sound effect to download it.
    Do a quality check and test out the video you make.
     

    Right!

    If you really decide not to have any wedding photo montage, you should at least have one of the following:
    Wedding live band that you engage
    Stage performance- Sing or play a music instrument with your spouse
    Dance through the aisle during march in or at the small space allocated for performance.
    Actual day express highlight photo or video (Same day edit by your photographer or videographer that you engaged.)

     

    This will at least keep the guest amuse for the night.

     

     

    What should I show in my wedding photo montage?

    Here’re some ideas…


    Wedding proposal photo montage
    Childhood growing up photo montage

    Different Chapter: Parents, baby, childhood growing up, courtship, friends, activities you love doing together to wedding proposal.

    Programs you can use to make a wedding photo montage

    Here I am recommending programs that I personally tried and feels that it is easiest to use!

     

    For Mac: imovie (Free)
    For Windows: Windows Movie Maker (Free)
    Youvivid (Paid)
    Smilebox (Free or paid to upgrade)

     

    My favourite program is Youvivid though it is the most costly program among the 4 programs I’m recommending. The cost for the video is from US$34.95 to US$84.95 per video. Needless to say, the video produce is a lot more professional than the other 4 programs and it is faster to create too, unless, you are really good and creative in using the FREE program.

     

    Don’t have the time and prefer to leave it to the professional instead?
