A great music track is critical for wedding cinematography and wedding slideshows. The right song amplifies the storytelling and emotion while the wrong track can bring down the entire project and create client satisfaction issues.

However, selecting the perfect track can be difficult and time consuming, with so many options to choose from.  To help you out, we’ve come up with a series of articles to narrow down your selection, give you recommendations of our favorite tracks and even link to examples so that you can see the song “in action.”  In our first article, we’re tackling the genre of weddings.
