A guide to wedding photos (1)

Mobilization

For girls, there is no need to mobilize before taking wedding photos. This paragraph is specially written for men. Wedding photos must be taken, which is not what I said, but what my husband said. This is the conclusion he reached after consulting in many ways before marriage and being proved correct by practice.

An ordinary girl may only be the real protagonist at the moment of marriage in her life. If there is no wedding, then perhaps only taking a wedding photo is an opportunity for her to be justified and wanton. Faced with so many "ones", can you still have the heart to say that "no"? What are the consequences of not shooting? Prospective husbands should be keenly aware that this will be the best excuse for their wives to criticize you. Which do you choose, spending thousands of dollars or being nagged by your wife all your life?

Excluding the factor of money, the most difficult and biggest test for men to take wedding photos is "patience". Almost everyone who has experienced it has been filming for a whole day. For girls, this is also a good opportunity to test their husbands, although it is a little late. A patient man is really a valuable asset to a woman. If he quarrels with you impatiently when taking a wedding photo, or throws you into the studio to take a single photo and runs to the door to smoke, this kind of man, alas, is better to see through it early.

step on the spot

set the time before shooting. In my opinion, the seasonal factor of wedding photography is not very important. It's warm in winter and cool in summer in wedding shops, and only those who like to shoot on location need to choose the season (I think "outdoor photography" is not important, and this issue will be highlighted later). Of course, there are relatively few people in the off-season, and the waiting time is less, and the price may be slightly cheaper.

The price, service and clothing are the main factors. As for the shooting level, that is the most unreliable. The makeup, scenery, lighting and composition methods of wedding photos are roughly similar. From the sample photos, each store is not too different; Besides, you are not sure whether the samples you see are really taken by our photographer; Most importantly, you can't predict the level of photographers assigned to you in advance. If you are unlucky enough to meet a level of garbage, you will be in trouble. This item is beyond our control at all, so I basically skip it.

some friends are most concerned about clothes, and the shop with good clothes is almost the same. I also pay attention to clothes, which I didn't realize until after shooting. Don't go to see the most beautiful ones, they are not for us, unless you are willing to spend more than 1 thousand yuan, you can order to wear this and that. So, be sure to ask what clothes I can choose at this price. At the same time, taking into account Mr. Wang's clothes, although men's clothes are few in style, there are also patterns on bow ties and waist seals.

pay attention to the flower work of "off-season discount" in price. But the off-season may indeed be cheaper than usual.

deposit

most wedding photography shops require a deposit of several hundred yuan, which is naturally non-refundable. When you pay the deposit, you must discuss with the store in detail the price, style, photo requirements, and even the time of taking the wedding photos. These will be clearly written on your deposit slip. This step cannot be underestimated. It can be said that the satisfaction of taking the wedding photos depends on this step. The rule of the wedding photography shop is to pay before filming. Once you pay the money, if you don't ask for it in detail in advance, you won't be satisfied with many details in the end. Even if you think you are very detailed, you will still make mistakes in a place that you didn't pay attention to. Then no one will pay attention to you no matter how much you complain, or you will be stared at: What else do you want? !

no one wants to pay a deposit easily. There is already a discount, and it is almost impossible to bargain again. The most likely thing is to ask for more benefits within your own price. The so-called benefits may not get much, because the cost of each item is not listed and cannot be calculated, so we no longer consider losing money, just convert what we don't need into what we need, and in short, we are satisfied.

then discuss "special effects". Post-production, especially special effects, is the main thing to take a fancy to in a wedding dress shop. Otherwise, it would be much cheaper to take a negative and have it developed in a general photo studio. There is also the need to discuss the style of special effects, so as not to get the final effect different from what you imagined! There is also the appearance of the photo album, these details, everyone must talk about it in advance!

Next, I will talk about clothes. Too many clothes may not be good. If you wear more clothes, you have to wear more makeup, and the shooting time will be longer. Women, of course, are happier when they shoot, but men are not. Later, their expressions are stiff. The photos of two people, hello, he is not good, and finally he can't get into the book, and the result is white. So I suggest that if you don't shoot on location, just three sets of clothes: white gauze, Chinese style and evening gift.

preparation

the preparation before shooting requires a clear explanation on the back of the order, but there are still some small places that you should pay attention to.

Girls should pay attention to the following points:

1. Never drink water in Qian Qian one hour before going to bed. I didn't drink it that night, so I couldn't help taking a sip before going to bed. This little sip killed me, and the bags under my eyes came out the next day. I didn't know to stick it with cucumber skin at that time, so it was swollen. Fortunately, the makeup artist rubbed a lot of powder, and the light in the studio was flat, so it was not obvious in the photo.

2. Be sure to wear a strapless bra, and it's best not to wear a pullover, because you do your hair first and then change clothes. It doesn't matter if you really forget, the store will give you a clean cardigan.

3. It is recommended to apply light nail polish in advance. As soon as I sat down that day, I was pressed and painted with a layer of light blue nail polish, saying that it was because my nails were more obvious and beautiful when shooting. I don't like blue nails. I should have painted my own bottle of light pink. (Nail patch can be applied)

4. If it is dry skin, it is best to bring a bottle of moisturizing oil; If it is allergic skin, it is best to bring your own suitable foundation. The makeup artist wiped all my carefully applied face cream and eye cream with make-up water, and directly applied foundation, which made my dry skin wrinkled and wrinkles were almost exposed.

As for men:

Get a good haircut one week in advance, and then shave before leaving-this is also a painful lesson for us. The last set of clothes we shot had several great expressions, and it ended up in the book because I found that my husband's beard had grown out. He got up at 6 o'clock in the morning to get ready, and photographed from 9 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the afternoon. For nearly 12 hours, it was strange that his beard didn't grow.

then you can prepare something to bring. Wedding rings must be worn, and you can also bring beautiful necklace earrings, preferably thick and obvious (be careful not to lose them), such as pearl necklaces, and thin chains will be required to be removed; You can do it without it. The store will provide it. People who wear glasses can bring their own beautiful frames. They are not allowed to wear glasses when shooting, and the frames prepared in the shop may not be suitable for your face.

for food preparation, some bread and drinks will be provided in the store. if they are not provided in the store, everyone should prepare them in advance. Be careful not to break your makeup when you eat. To tell the truth, you won't be in the mood to eat at that time. Bear with it.

It's also very memorable to take a camera and take pictures of makeup fitting, but some stores don't allow shooting in the store, but when shooting on location, no one will restrict you, so you can take more pictures.

I'd like to add a point here. If a girl has that kind of hidden underwear, I suggest that she bring it with her, because when it comes to choosing clothes, the choice is greater, and jms who is satisfied with her back can choose those evening dresses with big backless backs!

Shooting

Make an appointment with the store and pay the money on the day of shooting.

There's nothing to say about makeup. Just sit there and be honest. If you have your own opinions, you can discuss them with the makeup artist. For example, if you like your thick eyebrows, you can not let her shave them into a thin one. Men are very simple, just blowing their heads and dusting (Anping is not required).

In the wedding photography shop, there will be a feeling of materialization. Sitting in front of the dressing mirror and listening to the hairdressers talking about how much money they have made this month, I suddenly feel that I am no longer a beautiful bride-to-be, but a "thing" and a "head" for others to earn money. I can't help but calculate how much discretion I can get from my head.

ok, smile. don't laugh too much, miss. open your mouth a little. be happier and smile again. why don't you smile when you marry such a beautiful lady? Ready, the photographer gives the order, click, one is over.

Teacher POSE said a term, and quickly, the lighting engineer and the background engineer were busy making a ball again. We were stuffed with another bunch of flowers, and the background behind us rang out. I just wanted to look back. Pay attention, look here. Teacher POSE's practice began again.

every time you change your clothes, you have to change your hairstyle. If you do this several times, the hair you just washed the day before will turn into a pile of hay. There is nothing you can do. I don't have any opinions about hairstyles. Just trust the stylist. Some clothes with hairstyles didn't look so good at that time, so they looked very good in the photos.

Clothing

Choosing clothes is the only thing that you can make your own decisions on the day of shooting. At this time, you must not be sloppy. It doesn't matter if you are picky. Observe the clothes of the person in front of you and see the effect. If you feel good, keep an eye on them. If your favorite clothes are worn away by others, you must be patient and never make do with it. Of course, girls with thin waists have more choices.

From the style, I tend to be simple and clear, and the style of the upper part is more important, because the wedding photos are basically aimed at the upper body, and the simple clothes have better contrast effect, and there is no need for fragmentary lace or invisible patterns, so the headlights in the studio will not show up once they are hit.

in terms of color, it is recommended to choose dark clothes outside the white gauze. The people in the wedding photos are all very white, but the light-colored clothes are fat, which does not reflect the delicate feeling. Red, bright blue, dark green and purple are all good.

the first set is of course white yarn. Girls with beautiful shoulders can choose thin shoulder straps with bare shoulders or transparent shoulders, and those with thick arms can be covered with a long veil.

Of course I wear Chinese clothes or Japanese clothes. Japanese clothes may look good, but I have a national mentality and I can't accept them anyway. Chinese clothing is generally divided into two types, cheongsam and Gege. Gege's "hat ornaments" greatly limit the exertion of hairstyle. A girl with a small face can hardly see her face when pressed by that hat, and the loose gege clothes cover the curve of her body. How can a cheongsam be sexy?

the evening dress should be sexy and close to the body, and it is not afraid of revealing the shoulders. The color should be as dark as possible, and it is better to have sequins, which will make the effect even better.

There is nothing to choose from in men's clothes. They are nothing more than a suit with a bow tie and a tuxedo, with matching waist seals. It should be reminded that when choosing Chinese clothes, it is very cool for a slim man to wear a tunic suit to match a woman's cheongsam, especially a white tunic suit, which is a handsome guy; The fatter ones look better in mandarin jackets, they can hold up, and they have some manners. However, when you step on the spot, you should make a good reconnaissance. Not all stores have Zhongshan suits.

Exterior shooting

The bride's white gauze is always the kind with a long back swing. From a technical point of view, the square negative of the 12 machine commonly used in the studio is difficult to show a long back swing. Sometimes, due to the weather, photography technology, scene selection and other issues, the shooting results are not satisfactory. Therefore, it is better to choose the location than the sun shed (the price of the sun shed is higher than the location, but I believe it can be discussed as a requirement when paying the deposit).

of course, if you insist on taking pictures outside, you can prepare a bunch of flowers besides taking some with your camera, and the big one should be bright in color.

film selection

when selecting films, you should be clear-headed, and it is difficult to ensure that more than 2 of the more than 5 films will not be dazzled. Don't pay attention to the impatience of the service lady who accompanied you to watch movies. You still want to get angry with her if you can't choose a good movie.

after you decide on the photos to be registered, you can choose the photos for special effects and crystal and frame. You can choose different photos for these three types, but you can't use the films other than the registered photos for crystal and frame, but you can specify which one is the crystal and which one is the frame. As for special effects, if you ask which photo to do which special effects, I'm afraid you will be rejected by the film selection lady, so be sure to talk about which special effects you want when you pay the deposit.

What the wedding dress shop really makes money is in this extra film. It is inevitable that I can't put it down to the beautiful images of myself and my lover, and I will do it again before I know it. I paid for this film at that time, so don't forget to bring more money on the day of film selection. If you don't care about money, you will buy your favorite films at that time, and the rest of the film stores will be destroyed. It's too late to want them again.

Generally, the white yarn will be photographed better, because it is the first set and in good condition, and it is also the focus of shooting, and the quantity will be more. Because it looks solemn, white gauze photos are usually chosen for framed photos. If possible, choose a few pieces of each kind of clothing, and take care of different backgrounds and styles. Finally, take a closer look at the face, clothes, background and other parts of the selected photos. A friend of mine made a crystal film with a very good expression and took it home only to find that the clothes were hung with a pin and were clearly photographed. My principle is to be perfect. Movies that feel good but have defects can be bought and revised, but they are never allowed to be included in the book.

Don't be lazy when you take photos. Look at each photo carefully. Ask questions when you find them. What problems are there at home at last?

Finally, I would like to make a small discovery. Every version of photos is attached to the album with double-sided tape, which is totally acceptable.

When choosing a wedding photography company, you should pay attention to

1. Dress style and number of sets, service attitude, photo design, peripheral gifts, reasonable price, clear contract ... < P > 2. Confirmation of human and material resources for location shooting. Flowers holding flowers, photography company car, in addition to the photographer, at least one male and female assistant, boys to assist in photography; Girls help to make up makeup, change clothes and change hair styles. If there are only boys, it is necessary to solve the problem of makeup and hair styles.

3. Confirmation of the definition of extra charge. For example: fixing makeup liquid, wigs for banquets, and hourly fees for early makeup ... (Note: there is no extra charge for basic repairs! )

4 The contents of the peripheral design and gifts: the number of copies of the bride's family, signature silk, photo frame, jewelry box, gold wedding certificate, thank-you card, relatives and friends card, wedding makeup, anniversary photo, car color, ancient gift box, bridesmaid flower girl dress, easel loan, banquet dress jewelry matching ...

Discounts in related industries: beauty, venue layout, restaurant, travel agency ... It is best to pay by credit card, because you can get the bank's signed bill and invoice to prove that you have paid. Never pay in one lump sum, which will affect the quality of follow-up service.

How to choose a wedding dress

1. The color and style of the dress are best different:

Too close will make the shooting effect special, and each group of photos in the photo book looks similar.

2. The overall accessories of the dress:

Including flowers, hair ornaments, necklaces, earrings, hand-made, satin gloves ... The head yarn of the white gauze dress has many choices such as retro openwork lace, ribbon kerb, pure mesh and so on.

3. The groom's dress:

It can be matched with vest, tuxedo, retro style and other options, and the dress company should also provide spectacle frames without lenses for shooting.

4. Complete confirmation of the dress: whether there are stains, holes and damages ...

5. The banquet dress should be brand-new, at least if it is old.
