Web Design Tutorials and Tips

Weddings are wonderful gatherings of friends and family of the bride and groom to toast to the happy union of the two lovebirds. One of the highlights of the newlyweds’ event is the telling of the story of their love either in a mini-movie (a.k. video of the proposal) or the more common choice, a wedding photo slideshow of the bride and the groom before they meet, how they fell in love and while they were in their wedding attire.

While there are many fancy schmancy photography studios out there who could conjure up these slideshows for your wedding, you can be sure that they use the same formula for all of their clients.

But if you want to inject your personal style into possibly one of the biggest events of your life, maybe you should take this into your own hands. The flowers, the reception, the hors d’oeuvres aside, this is something that you can take full control of with your partner and which is all about just the two of you. If you’re up to it, here are a few tools we think you would love to try out, to tell the world about your fairy-tale love story.
