How to Create the Perfect Wedding Slideshow with Instant Spotlight: A Step-by-Step Guide 

In this article, we’ll show you how to create the perfect wedding slideshow using photos that all the guests took during each of your wedding events. By following the suggestions in this guide, you’ll create a  tapestry of cherished memories that will last a lifetime. From happy guests to tender moments shared as a couple, a wedding slideshow using Instant Spotlight brings everyone together during and after your celebrations and  ensures that all your special moments are enjoyed in the moments while also being immortalized.

Step 1: Pre Event Set Up:

Name Your Event & Gather Your Photos

‍

For each of your wedding events, you’ll want to set up Instant Spotlight live interactive photo wall with your event name and with 4 or 5 photos to start it off right. This will allow you to start Instant Spotlight at your venue, where you will be passing out the QR code to all your guests. They can then add to the Instant Spotlight show by snapping pictures with their cell phones, which are shared to the big screen for all guests to enjoy at your venue.

The photos you start with can be a curated selection that capture the essence of your love story. Dive into your archives to unearth images from pivotal moments in your lives – from childhood adventures to romantic milestones. Use three to five of the best to start the show with Instant Spotlight at your first event - for example the engagement party.

With each new wedding event, add a new photo to the beginning mix for the next event, thereby building on the wedding story up through the reception. 

Step 2: QR Codes for Each Event

Each time you use Instant Spotlight live interactive photo wall, you’ll create a new event, with its own unique name.  This action will generate the QR code for that event, which you can print out and set around the event venue. If you’re using Instant Spotlight for the first time, you’ll enjoy our tutorial that will take you through the set up steps quickly and easily.

 Your guests need only scan the QR code to get logged into your event and start snapping photos which they can transfer to the big screen with a simple tap.

Instant Spotlight captures the “real life” enjoyment by all the guests to each wedding celebration.  With all the guests participating, snapping pictures, and partaking in the joy, you’ll be collecting hundreds of amazing photos and the memories they captured.  Better still, they’ll be playing on the big screen at each of the venues, and they’re all saved to each event’s digital album. Guests can even add more photos after the event.  The digital photo albums can be downloaded as well.

Step 3: Organize Your Photos

After you have downloaded all the digital albums from your various wedding events, you can use any one of your favorite photo editing or video editing apps to organize your photos. Arrange them chronologically or group them thematically to create a cohesive narrative that resonates with your audience and you and your spouse. 

Step 4: Add Music and Transitions

If you’re using a video app, or a photo app that allows for slideshow creations, you’ll want to select the perfect soundtrack for your wedding slideshow. Choose music that speaks to the heart and compliments the emotions captured in your photos. 

Step 5: Customize with Text and Effects

You’ll probably find that many of the images that guests took also included notes and messages.  Those can be incorporated into the photo slideshow as well.  More than likely your video or photo editing app will also allow you to add more text or effects.
