This just seems to be my bitching place.

Eric and I create slide shows for memorials, birthdays, etc. Photographers sometimes offer this service; however, we touch up and fix minor (and sometimes not so minor) issues with old pictures, fix the exposure, and generally tell a story with the show. Ours can include photos from a person's entire lifetime, not just one event such as a wedding. (This is what most photographers offer.)

This is not a simple Windows Media or Power Point program we use. It can be timed to music, not just have music in the background. It can be customized in many ways.

Now here is something that gets me. I know a couple of people that keep telling me how he/she can do the same thing in 30 seconds with some obscure shareware or some such thing. IT'S NOT the same. What they are doing is randomizing pictures with music in the background. What we do is create a memory, or bring memories to life. Because this is about the client and helping to make their day as special as possible. Not about doing something as cheaply or simply as possible.
