A wedding photo slideshow video is something clients love to share, but building one separately in video editing software takes time. The fastest way is to create the wedding slideshow video straight from the album you designed — the photos are selected, the colors are graded, the layouts look great; all you need to add is motion and music.
Landscape or vertical video?
- Landscape video (16:9): for TVs, screens at the wedding reception, and for clients to watch on a computer.
- Vertical video (9:16): for TikTok, Facebook/Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts — the format with the highest views today.
Snaply Album exports both from the same album, so you deliver a landscape video to the client and get a vertical video to promote your studio.
Steps to create a slideshow video in Snaply Album
- Choose the source: use the spreads of your designed album, or pick raw photos.
- Choose an effect style: transitions, camera motion, and a blurred background for portrait photos.
- Choose music: use the built-in tracks or your own; the video length automatically fits the music.
- Add an intro/outro: the couple's names, the wedding date, your studio logo.
- Export the video: landscape MP4 for the client, vertical 9:16 MP4 for social media.
Tips for a more engaging wedding slideshow video
- Open with your strongest photo — the first 2 seconds decide whether viewers keep watching or scroll past, especially on vertical video.
- Follow the rhythm of the music: use close-ups for slow passages, and wide shots or action shots for the climax.
- Keep vertical videos short: 15–45 seconds is ideal for Reels/TikTok; the landscape video for the client can run 3–5 minutes.
- Place your studio logo at the end rather than throughout the video, so it doesn't cover the photos.
Sell an extra service with no extra work
Because the video is created from the album itself, most of the work (selecting photos, color grading, layout) is already done. Many studios offer the slideshow video as an add-on package or as a gift that encourages clients to refer new clients.
