Wedding slideshows are a great way to experience your wedding photographs long after your wedding day has passed.  However it dawned on me earlier this year that if a couple doesn’t have a videographer at their wedding, the speeches and toasts presented at the wedding reception are often lost, only to be remembered as a distant memory when a couple looks back on their wedding day.  So rather than limit a wedding slideshow to photographs from the wedding day, what if you could also re-live some of the words that were spoken as well?  The video above is from Laura & Kevin’s wedding earlier this year, and is one example of how incorporating the speeches into a slideshow can work.

Typically it takes a couple of hours to charge all the batteries, clean all the cameras and lenses, format the memory cards, check, double check, and triple check that everything works, and pack up the bags for each wedding.  Too bad it doesn’t just all happen this fast…….

following their Mendhi celebration the previous evening, Shikha’s sister and Manmeet’s brother hosted a Sangeet at India House in Schaumburg………
