Wedding Montage
A wedding montage to play at your reception, built from the photos you already have. From The Montage Maven, the studio behind hundreds of Mitzvah montages.
The photos already exist. Thousands of them, spread across two phones, two families, and a few albums nobody has opened in years. A wedding montage turns them into a few minutes your guests actually stop and watch, played on the screen while everyone you love is finally in one room.

Here is Taylor and Andrew's, built from their families' photos and played at the reception.
A Wedding Montage to Play at Your Reception
Families have done this at Bar and Bat Mitzvahs for decades, and it is reliably the moment the room goes quiet. It works just as well at a wedding. Somewhere between the toasts and the dancing, the lights drop and your story plays: the two of you as kids, the years before you met, the night it started, and everything after.
This is not ceremony footage and it is not a highlight reel of the day itself. It is the story that got you both there, cut for the people who lived it with you.

What Goes Into Your Wedding Video Montage
Childhood photos from both sides, the awkward years included. Screenshots of the first texts. Phone clips nobody thought were worth keeping. Family pictures going back a generation or two. We work with whatever you have, in whatever condition it is in, and we handle the sorting, the pacing, and the music so you do not have to.
Most couples send us a folder that feels like a mess. That is normal, and it is our job, not yours.
Gathering Photos From Both Families
This is the part that takes longer than anyone expects, so start it early. The photos you want most are rarely on your phone. They are in your mother's closet, on your father-in-law's old laptop, and in the group chat from the trip four years ago.
Ask for them sooner than feels necessary. It usually turns up the shots you had forgotten about, which are almost always the ones that land hardest in the edit. If something exists only as a print, photograph it on your phone in good light and send it along. We can work with that.
Everything Happens in One Place
You get a private link to your own page. Upload photos and video from your phone or your laptop, then send that same link to anyone you like: your mother, his sister, the friend with the good camera roll. They add theirs. Everything lands in one place instead of scattered across six text threads.
Drag the photos into the order you want them to play. Leave a note on any of them. This is her grandmother. Do not use this one. Start here. When your draft is ready you watch it on that same page and tell us what to change right on the video, at the exact second you mean.
Nothing to install, no account to make, and no files bouncing back because they were too big.
Choosing the Music for Your Wedding Montage
Music decides how the room feels. The same photos can play funny or devastating depending on what is underneath them. We will talk through what the two of you actually listen to rather than what sounds wedding-appropriate, and build the edit around it.
A Gift They Keep for Generations
Some of our favorite wedding montages were not ordered by the couple at all. They were commissioned quietly by parents and played as a surprise.
It is an unusual gift, and it outlasts every other one on the table. The plates get chipped. The vase ends up in a cupboard. This gets watched on the first anniversary, and again in twenty years, and again by people who have not been born yet. If you are a parent reading this, it is a real option, and we are good at keeping a secret.
How It Works
You send what you have. We build it. You watch a draft and tell us what to change. We deliver a file ready for the screen at your venue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you film the wedding?
No. We are a post-production studio, so we build your montage from photos and clips you already have. If you still need a videographer for the day itself, tell us and we will point you toward someone good.
Is this the same as a wedding slideshow?
It is what most people mean by a wedding slideshow, done properly. Not photos fading in and out on a timer, but an edited film with pacing, music, and a story.
How long should a wedding montage be?
Most land between four and seven minutes. Long enough to move people, short enough that the room stays with you.
Can you use video, not just photos?
Yes. Home video, phone clips, older footage. If it plays, we can use it.
When should we start?
Earlier than you think. The editing is on us. The gathering is on you, and that is the part that runs long.
