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:

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
