.WHAT IS A PHOTO MONTAGE?
A photo montage is a series of pictures of the bride and groom during their childhood. It can also include photographs of the couple during the dating and engagement period. Musical selections of your choice will be added to the completed project. 
The Photo montage starts at $149.95. This allows you to receive a one song montage with a length of 6 minutes or less. Each additional song of 6 minutes or less is $49.95. The client must supply all music and it must be in CD form. 
No unlabeled (Burned) CD's or MP3's please.  The final project is provided to you on a high quality DVD. If you desire you can also have your montage combined on the same DVD as your wedding video.

  Photo Montage FAQ's

How many pictures can we include in our montage?
 Answer:

  1. If presenting the montage to guests, most couples limit the video to 15 minutes at the maximum. Ten to 12 minutes seems to be the average—or around 100 to 120 pictures. Calculate about six seconds per picture.
  2. If the montage is only for your personal video, there is no maximum time limit. However, you’ll want to have a minimum of 25 to 30 photos to fill out one average-length song.

Question:
How many songs can we use? What kind? What format?
Answer:

  1. You need at least one song, and you should plan on using at least 25 photos per song. The songs need not be used in their entirety, but you need to have enough pictures to play a reasonable amount of each song. The average 12 -minute video usually includes three or four songs.
  2. In terms of the type of songs, we recommend a mixture of a few fast-tempo songs and a couple of slow ones. If you present your montage to guests, the faster songs will keep the video moving and hold their interest.
  3. All music must be provided in CD format. No unlabeled (burned) CD's or MP3's please.

Question:
How do we organize the pictures and music?
 Answer:

  1. Choose the best photos possible: bright, in-focus, emotional images—horizontal format if you have a choice. (Severely damaged pictures can be used, but they’ll be shown pretty much "as-is".)
  2. There’s no maximum size, but use no smaller than wallet-sized photos.
  3. Divide the pictures into groups by content. A typical grouping: bride growing up, groom growing up, bride’s family, groom’s family, bride’s friends, groom’s friends, bride and groom together.
  4. Determine which group goes with which song . (You can combine groups into one song.)
  5. Number each photo on the back in the sequence in which they are to appear in the video. (1 -100, or how ever many you have.) Include any verbiage you want to appear as the photo is displayed. Try using Post It notes so as not to damage the photo.
  6. Put each group of photos in a separate envelope and label the envelope with the song and picture numbers—and section title, if desired: (i.e, Song A/1-25/Bob "High School"; Song B/26-50/Kelly: "My Vacation").
  7. Send the photos and CDs our way.

Question:
When do we get our photos and music back? Are the actual photos altered?
Answer:
 If you have a montage presentation, we typically return them at your rehearsal or on your wedding day. If the montage is for your personal tape only, they will be returned with your finished tape, unless you request to have them sent back before the tape is complete. In any case, if your montage materials must be mailed to you, the postage costs will be included in your final balance. Note: Your photos are digitized and then cropped and manipulated on computers. The actual pictures are not altered.
