Philby Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 As photographer who often has to create small slideshows for my wedding clients I am on the hunt for music that has a certain feel to it. It has to be romantic, not too cheesey tho, a great melody and ideally a strongish finish. It needs to be appropriate for accompanying a narrative as I shoot from early morning to dancing.Possibly the best example of this I have found is this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_h_wZQjVvYDont worry if the song you may suggest is short, I can stitch a couple of tracks together. My music knowledge is not all that large so would really welcome any suggestions as randomly trawling the net is not bringing up the right sort of music. ' songs a bit like Tom Baxter's - Better' doesnt seem to bring up anything of much use . ;)Many thanksPhilby Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15603-looking-for-perfect-wedding-photography-slideshow-music/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Bob* Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Wouldn't it be better to ask your clients to choose a song that means something to them? After all, with tastes in music being entirely subjective, one persons great example is liable to make other people.. nauseous..

Philby Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Ah- I see that link didnt show- it was you might imagine from my what I saidBetter- by Tom Baxter.Bob- That would seem reasonable but I am the one who shoots the photos, picks the photos to use and decides what music is best to accompany them. Its part of my creative vision - not theirs. If they have a particular piece of music they like I dont mind doing it separately.

Narnia Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Well Philby I'm probably older than you so my knowledge of music is not particularly current. Can the music be instrumental or does it have to have lyrics for your purposes?

Philby Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 I am older than I care to think about Narnia...Lyrics probably better but instrumental stuff is good as well. I have used some Michael Nyman stuff, this for example.listen to it, its lovely.

Narnia Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Still older than you though. Nice music. Didn't like the video that much.There are some nice tracks on the soundtrack of this movieMay be too slow but it's from my favourite movieBoth by Ennio Morricone Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15603-looking-for-perfect-wedding-photography-slideshow-music/#findComment-407574 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms_Lilith Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Okay, the previous post may be for the divorce stage slideshow, but this one is more fitting.

Tarot Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Theme from Dr Zchivago track is a good instrumental,very atmospheric,also Albatross. Albatross is a good intro music, at the start of most special events, with atmospheric lights,it gives people time to mingle and relax. Good for special videos too.

TarahC Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Also remember that if you're using music for commercial use, which this very much is (the fact that it's for the clients personal viewing may mean you can get round it as long as you don't have it viewable by the public, such as on YouTube, Vimeo now and also your own website without a password) you need to licence it. There are lots of ways people try to get around this but they are cracking down and the photographers I know, as well as me, now don't risk it and use the following sites to get licensed music:http://www.triplescoopmusic.comhttps://www.musicbed.com/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/15603-looking-for-perfect-wedding-photography-slideshow-music/#findComment-788268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
