"A 'Journey of Two' theme, showcasing a handful of significant photos from when you first met, a key milestone (like moving in together in Brooklyn), and a recent tender moment. Keep it to 10-15 photos, about 2 minutes."
"'Can't Help Falling in Love' by Elvis Presley (acoustic cover). Its gentle melody and timeless lyrics perfectly complement a minimalist aesthetic without overpowering the visuals."
"'From that first coffee shop in Boston, to every quiet evening since, your love has been my constant. Happy Valentine's Day.' (Paired with 3-4 photos of quiet, shared moments in a local cafe.)"

Absolutely. Black and white photography often enhances the minimalist aesthetic, drawing attention to expressions and compositions without color distractions. Consider a timeless collection of candid shots for a 90-second tribute.
Not necessarily, but often less is more. A well-curated 2 to 4-minute slideshow can be more impactful than a longer one with filler. The goal is focused storytelling, whether it's a brief highlight reel or a comprehensive journey.
Opt for instrumental, slow tempo, or acoustic tracks. Avoid overly dramatic or busy songs. Think gentle piano pieces or soft vocals that provide a serene backdrop, like 'Your Song' by Elton John (instrumental version).
Focus on candid moments, close-ups that show emotion, and scenes with simple backgrounds. Avoid busy group photos or those with too many distractions. A few heartfelt portraits or shared quiet moments from a quiet trip to Kyoto are perfect.
