Complete Slideshow Example for a Large Wedding

So let's switch back and see the final slideshow. Yeah. So this is like a cooking show where they take out all the ingredients and they show you how to make it and then they're like, "Here's the finished cake," and you're like, "Whoa, how did that get done so fast?" That's what this is.

Thanks, guys. (laughing) (applauding) I almost feel like you guys have been a part of this whole process. Yeah. We saw the meeting with them and the GoPro footage. It really sure has come full circle. So we sent them the slideshow and that's what we got back from them. Wow. We are completely speechless over here. That was so amazing and just perfect. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Just brought back all the feels. We'll be watching on repeat the rest of the night and can't wait to see the gallery when it's ready. Again, even, you know, as we follow a formula in our shooting and it's almost like there's a formula in the answers that we get back. Yeah. It's again, consistent with what we're trying to achieve which further validates the formula that we follow for ourselves. Did you find that looking at the slideshow that now that you know our formula so well, that it's just like that checklist, right? Like the images that show mood and that show the uniqueness of the wedding, connection, how the inner circle is represented, and that moments of connection between the inner circle are there, and the transitions, the storytelling details, the obvious moments. Okay, you're all nodding. That's good. (laughs) I feel like after having actually written down our formula and being aware of the fact that we do this in such a deliberate way, now that I look at our slideshows, I'm very aware of just like how much it really comes together. Yeah. Then, yesterday morning. This just in. Yeah. As we were starting our Creative Live class, Sarah actually sent us this additional note after going through her entire full gallery. She says, "I've spent the last few days "trying to come up with something to say "after viewing our gallery and well, after my millionth view "and endless hours pouring over the photos "laughing and crying with friends and family, "I am officially speechless. "To say I am obsessed is an understatement. "The photos are amazing and I'm just so elated with emotions "for the way you two were able to capture "so much of the day and our story. "I think I have somewhere around 300+ favorites so far, "but every time I view, the list keeps growing and growing. "I found so much meaning behind these images. "They brought back many forgotten, but cherished moments "from the entire trip and the memories they instill "will certainly last a lifetime. "There are simply no words to thank you enough. "We are eternally grateful." I mean, when Daniel just read the part about meaning, I got shivers because that is what I'm trying to do as a photographer. Oh no, I will not cry. It's been good. I've been good today. But that's what we're working so hard for. It's exactly what she said. It's the memories that are gonna last a lifetime. It's reminding them of how loved they are. It's making history for them or documenting history for them. That is why I'm working my butt off for these guys and that's why I'm being crazy about my slideshow selection and asking the right questions. It's for this. When we get feedback like this, it just validates everything that we do. Yeah.

Holy Moly! I have been very familiar with Davina & Daniel for several years and I also work closely with Image Salon for the past 3 years. I loved their relatability, raw honesty, human connection, and their teaching method. It was also super helpful to see the GoPro footage on a real wedding day and walk through their thought process with them. A refreshing wind of inspiration has now flooded my mind and attitude. I am excited to begin my 8th year of weddings with a clear mind and full heart. These two are the REAL deal and I am so happy I made this investment. Thanks, CL for always bringing the BEST of the BEST.

I’ve been following Davina and Daniel’s work for years and suffice it to say, they are in my top 6 all time favorites. I was so excited to watch this creative live and it didn’t disappoint. From their approach to shooting through the moments, to their stunning locales and minimalist gear, there is something for everyone in this class. Both Daniel and Davina have a tremendous knowledge of photography and their willingness to share and educate is second to none. Oh, and just so you know, they are also the nicest people on the planet. Super sweet, amazingly talented. Thanks for having them on.

Davina and Daniel are fantastic presenters as well as an exceptional photo team (plus they are super nice people, too!). I love their approach and methods and felt like there is so much value in this course. Even though I've been photographing for a long time, I took away a lot of great value gems from their course and look forward to applying several to my own business!
