Special Wedding Touches Part 2

August 7th, 2007 @ 2:31 pm by Mrs. Hibiscus

Perhaps one of the most special parts of our wedding was our slideshow. I used ProShow Gold which I downloaded for $69.95. I figure, it’s cheaper than paying someone to do it and I can use it again for vacations, my nephew, anniversaries and other life events. It’s a great program and very easy to use. Everyone at the wedding raved about the slideshow. (Probably because almost everyone at the wedding was in it somewhere.) I’ve used several other programs for slideshows, as blogged about previously. This by far gave the best results. All my hard work really paid off. :)

Special Wedding Touches Part 2 :  wedding diy oc slideshow Slideshowhibiscus1.jpg

Click here for a short clip (well, 5 minutes) of our slideshow. In order to protect friends and family, I cut out the beginning with our baby pictures, the end with all the pictures of our friends and family and an audio thank you from us. The “story” might get a bit confusing since you don’t get the beggining or the end. The clip is just our “couple” pictures. The first part is our silly and fun pictures and the second is our romantic pictures. Enjoy!

Excuse the quality of the video, it lost tons of resolution from the upload to google video. I tried a ton of video upload sites but the file was too large. Let me know what you think and if you know a better place to upload video so it doesn’t lose resolution. :)

mrs. hibiscus, i was wondering if you could post just plain ol’ pictures of your wedding day. i really love your day of hair and would like to show it to my hairstylist as a sample. i know some photographers are protective of their pictures, so if it would be safer to email it to me, i’d be much obliged! aoedorothee at yahoo.com

thanks!

Check out the PRO edition which has the multi-pic slide feature. Way cool :)
