Step 1 - Gathering Photos & Songs - MEMORIES IN MOTION blog at BridesClub.com

Thinking of what type of photos you wish to use is the first step.
Most likely you're thinking of gathering photos of you two as kids
and growing up. Some use lots of growing-up photos while others only use
a few. All, however, know to use those perfect pictures taken since they met. What you decide is totally up to you.

Gathering the photos is, of course, easier said than done, right?
That can be the hardest part for you two and that's why I suggest
you start the sooner the better. Here are a few ideas to help
you start.

1- Find what you can from your own photo albums or boxes, CDs, files on your computer, and even pictures still on your own digital camera. Old videos or current camcorder pieces are also great to add. You two alone may have plenty but, if you're like most, you would like to see what others may have.

2- Check from your parents, other relatives, and friends.
If you're like most, you don't really have many from when you were a little kid growing up. Just think who would, be it parents, siblings and the like to ask. Just mentioning you're looking for a few pictures opens the door to many willing hearts who want to help,
"Oh Tom...I have the PERFECT picture! Remember that morning when you were about eight and you cut your own hair. I'll scan it and e-mail it too you."

"Sure Beth, I still have all those pictures from high school. I'll mail you those that show only you. How about that picture I have of you two at last year's family Christmas party?"

Anyway you decide to get them is up to you. Just remember, it's worth the work.

Keep in mind that I can do extra work to photos to make them look their best. So incase your older brother says he has the best picture of you but it's with your old high school boyfriend, no need to worry. I can most likely make it look like that persons is not there and everyone will only see that beautiful young lady up on the screen.

O.K.. - Now you have the pictures. Time now to decide which song(s).
Most couples have THE song to use. For others, it might just be one of the many that makes you melt whenever you hear it on the radio. It's up to you. If you don't have the song yourself, no worry!
It's so great now-a-day how you can buy almost any song for about $1 vie websites. I can do all that work for you if you'd like, knowing you then will get to keep that song on a separate CD along with it on the Slide show. Not sure what song to use? I can pass your way a list to help you decide. Only want to put in part of a song? No problem doing that. We'll talk about what you want heard, knowing I'll fit it perfectly into your slide show.

It's now time to think about what to do with what you've gathered.
