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:

Dont 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 thanks

Ah- I see that link didnt show- it was you might imagine from my what I said

Better- 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.

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.

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:

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
