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. 
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.

i love it!!! the choreography with the music is PERFECT!
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!
Love the parts with you guys running around! It looks great!
i usually don’t like most slideshows, but i love how you incorporated video!!
All those piggy back rides — your back must be killing you! Very cute.
You look so cute together!!!!
that is too cute!!!!
great clip.. i want to see the rest of it. you two are really cute together!
How talented you are! and it looks like you have a lot of fun together.
What music did you use for the beginning and end?
haha–thanks for the compliments everyone! My back does hurt. J/K
Aoedorothee–i appreciate the hair love. hehe! Sorry but I don’t have my pictures back yet from my photographer. I dont’ get my negatives back until I get my album. I might have some personal pictures lying around. I’ll email you when i get something.

Sorry happyhappy….i didnt’ see your post for some reason. Thank you! I’m not sure if you’re asking what I used for the parts I didn’t post so I guess I’ll answer everything.

[…] far, I’ve already blogged about our photobooth and our slideshow. Another special aspect of our wedding (and Mr. Hibiscus’ favorite) was our first […]
Great job! My husband and I love ProShow. We made a slideshow for our wedding a few weeks ago that we showed during the cocktail hr on a loop. You can see it here:

Love the slideshow Alyson!!
Nice show! Another good slideshow software is MemoriesOnTV:
Check out the PRO edition which has the multi-pic slide feature. Way cool
