DIY - Engagement Slideshow (finally)! - SARAHDARLING's Black Wedding by Color Blog

Update: Still sick.

So while lying in bed coughing up a lung (charming, I know) I started
playing with iMovie on my mac. I'd never played with it before and let
me tell you, it's quite addicting. We had our engagement pics taken so
long ago and I hadn't looked at them in awhile so I put this together to
showcase our favourites. We aren't having a slideshow at the wedding,
but I kind of wish we were now!

Anyways, hope you like it!

The photographer was Angela Martin and she is amazing.

The video doesn't seem to work for me. It says that it is private and that I have to accept the sender's friend request. Am I doing something wrong?

me too! I couldn't get it to work either

does it work for you now?

ps. thanks for telling me!

Yup works now! It's awesome! Love the pics! You guys are the perfect mix of sassy and fun! I loves it!

whew! so happy it works now... apparently in my youtube naivety i had made the video private. thanks so much for telling me! i'm a little surprised it took 26 views before someone did though. thanks again!

Ha ha true! Laziness maybe lol?!

But we WANT to see it, and everything you do :)

Oh these are great! Good work putting it together! iMovie does make it easier but its still some work

Oh my gosh it's so wonderful! I wish I could do something like this!!! :)

love itt! the musics perfect too! <3

Very Nice ! I want a MAC ! LOL

thanks girls!

snichols34: iMovie does make it a lot easier than some other programs I've used, but yeah still a bunch of work getting everything timed right, all the transitions and stuff. but i'm happy i did it!

amandasoontobemoury: if you know anyone with a mac iMovie comes standard on it (I think) so you could always ask for some favours :)

thanks brunettebride! That song was originally our first dance song, and then it didn't really work with our foxtrot choreography, but i still wanted to include it somehow bc it's so cute!

fijipearl: i love my mac. LOVE my mac! i was a Microsoft girl up until about 8 months ago. and let me tell you that i will never, ever go back. Macs are just so awesome!

I totally just realized what a hottie your FH is!! He has a gorgeous smile!! You go girl!!

Love the video...so cute!!

I love it! I'm surprised too that no one said earlier that it wasn't working. You guys are such a cute couple and you did a wonderful job with the slideshow. I was bobbing my head to the music the whole time :).

Love this! iMovie is great fun to play with, isn't it? :)

foureyes: he is super cute! jeff actually mentors at an all-girls highschool and he is definitely the "hot teacher". one of the girls told him he looks like Robert Pattison from "Twilight" so now he likes to brood around the house looking all angsty and vampire-y.

macbride: thanks! hearing this song just makes me happy.

bananapants: i am officially a director in training with iMovie! we just got a new camcorder and i have since made 2 movies starring our cat. but i don't think i'm going to share those.

:) It's addicting, isn't it?! I did that with our dog right after we got her to post on her adoption/rescue site.

Here it is:

so sweet. my favourite part was when she's eating but she's so big her tail is all smooshed up against the wall. i can't wait for FH and I to get a dog, we'll have to wait til we get a house/condo first bc our apt is just wayyy too small.

they look good! i like the one where he jumped on your back :)

Awwwe, LOVE!!

the video is super cute! the song is perfect! great job, wish you could show it off at the wedding because it's awesome!

You did a great job!! Loved it!!

Yay! I love it! I love all of the graffiti shots :) so colourful. Seems to suit your personalities :)

pics are great and love the song too!! aww, love it

i've used both blurb and kodak gallery before and much prefer blurb. very easy to use, customize and great quality.
