What to expect from your Zlideshow.
Photos, video clips, music, graphics and moments from your event, put together into one show your guests can watch on their own phones while the night is still going. Quality, speed and value, in that order and on purpose.
Zlideshow is not traditional wedding photography.
This is the one thing to be certain about before you book, and we would rather say it twice than have you find out on the day. Zlideshow is a multimedia show, not a formal photography package. A traditional photographer costs two, three or several times what a Zlideshow costs, and for that you get something different: multiple photographers, interchangeable-lens camera systems, studio lighting, specialised lenses, burst shooting and weeks of retouching afterwards.
If posed formal portraits and a retouched album are what you want on your wedding day, book a photographer. Plenty of our clients book both, and that is the right answer when the budget allows it. We will tell you so on the phone.

Yes, we use smartphones. On purpose.
Why smartphones
Today’s flagship phones carry 48MP+ camera systems, optical stabilisation, computational photography, HDR, low-light processing and stabilised video. They also let one person move between photos, clips and wide shots in a second without stopping the flow of your event.
Why that matters here
Speed is the whole idea. A phone gets your photos to your remote Zeditor while your event is still happening, which is how the show is on your guests’ phones the same night instead of in three weeks.
How much we capture
About 60+ images an hour, plus short video clips of the key moments. Clips run about a minute or less: we shoot moments, not continuous videography.
Roughly 30 to 40 percent of what we shoot ends up in the show. Your Zeditor picks the ones that tell the story and cuts the ones that do not.
One person on site
Your event is live and there is one of us in the room, so a moment or a particular group can go by uncaught. Tell your team member what matters: a person, the cake, a gift, a performance, a family moment, the one photo you absolutely want. We are always glad to go and get it.
It starts before anyone arrives.
Send us 8 to 10 photos first
Vacations, birthdays, baby pictures, couple and family photos, holidays, the proposal. We edit a selection of them into your show so your guests have something to watch the moment they scan the QR code, before a single picture has been taken that day.
Your Zeditor, working remotely
While one of us is at your event, your Zeditor is editing during and after it: cropping, adjusting, building collages, adding graphics, cutting in the video clips and putting the whole thing to music.
Your original images
You also get an online drive with the images captured at your event, including the ones that did not make the show. These are the originals, so the drive will contain photos that were left out for composition, expression, lighting, movement, duplication or angle. That is what an unedited drive looks like.
Download them within 60 days
Your images are hosted for about 60 days after your event. Please download and keep your own copy well before that. We may hold backups, but after 60 days we cannot promise your images can be restored, and a restoration fee may apply if it is possible at all.
Do not lose your memories. Download them the week of your event.
Not sure this is the right fit?
Then ask us before you book, and we will tell you straight. We would rather talk you into a photographer than sell you the wrong thing and read about it afterwards.
