Silly brides learn wedding photos from scratch

Question 1: What is a wedding photo? What does the wedding photo include?

Bao Xiao said: wedding photos, of course, are taken in wedding dresses ~ ~ (ah! ! Watch throws eggs! ) Haha, does every bride want to wear a wedding dress? You'd better always look your best. When we talk about wedding photos, we generally refer to going to professional photo studios, putting on wedding dresses and dresses provided by them, letting professional photographers and makeup artists dress themselves up, editing and designing the generated photos, and finally getting beautiful photo albums and other souvenirs.

Wedding photos contain many things. Generally speaking, wedding photos don't just wear one suit. The bride's white gauze is divided into indoor and outdoor, and the evening dress is also varied. In China, we usually take some ancient costumes and pay attention to tradition, so there are at least four sets, as well as our own clothes, fashions and so on. Because of the change of clothing, the shape has also changed a lot, so makeup modeling is also a very important aspect. When you dress up, you will take photos, some in the studio and some on location. Now I usually choose some photos on location, which is more natural, so the time of taking photos will drag on for a long time, so I should be mentally prepared. In short, after taking photos, there is still some work, such as film selection, to continue to discuss which photos will be selected into the album (that is, into the album-a friend of mine heard that it was the first time to go to the toilet, and he was sweating at that time-_-! ! Wait, these later jobs are also an important round for the studio to confront you, because everything you choose is for money! ! Finally, take the film. This is probably the happiest step. Look at those grinning people in the studio ~ ~

To sum up, wedding photos include clothing, makeup modeling, shooting and post-shooting. And there are all kinds of piecemeal processes, such as choosing a photo studio in advance, choosing clothes in advance, bringing your own things, etc., but I can't say it. Bao Xiao, shut up. Which jj thinks Bao Xiao's words are incomplete, please add them at any time ~ ~

The second question: When is the right time to start preparing wedding photos?

Bao Xiao said: this is a serious question ... why? Because it depends on when the bride and groom's wedding is. The photo studio usually gives you some wedding invitations and posters when taking wedding photos, so the wedding photos are taken before the wedding. How much is it in advance? If you start from scratch, it will take some time to choose a photo studio. If it is a mm who strives for perfection, it may choose half a year, which is similar to buying a house. Isn't it necessary to look around the building when buying a house? (The audience couldn't stand it, and they all asked Bao Xiao not to digress ...)

It only takes a day or two to shoot itself (unless you go far away to shoot location, Kilimanjaro or something, you can't come back for a day); It's not too time-consuming to choose films and take them. One day is definitely enough, mainly because there will be a waiting time in the middle, which will be longer. If you want to be less nervous and in a hurry, you'd better get ready to take wedding photos at least three months before the wedding.

Of course, there are jm like Bao Xiao's sauce purple. The wedding is very simple, that is, the family eats lobster together, without invitations and posters. They can take photos at any time, choose a season they like, avoid the wedding peak (for example, May 1 1 day, the price is too high to bargain, there are too many people), and finally they can take posters or something to offset the negative in the later period. It is really your choice! ! Wow, hahaha (laughing wildly ...)

The third question: How much does it cost to take a wedding photo?

Bao Xiao said: the main reason is that the price standards are different in different places, so it is difficult to say a price. Beijing and Shanghai are more expensive. Last time I saw a jj in the jar, it seemed to be from Guangdong or Fujian. It's very beautiful and in good order. It only cost more than 2000 yuan. Brides in Beijing and Shanghai are not so blessed, and usually spend a lot of money. Bao Xiao is from Beijing. Let's talk briefly about the prices in Beijing. Judging from the price provided by the photo studio, the suit is the main one, generally around 1500, which is the simplest suit with the least clothes and few photos; Then there are more than 2,000, more than 3,000, more than 4,000 or even tens of thousands. But in general, it has to be doubled in the later stage-because there will be various late consumption waiting for you when selecting films. Don't make up your mind not to add a penny now. You will learn later, and your mind will probably change. Always tell yourself: I am the most beautiful bride, my husband is the most handsome husband, and the photo I choose is the most perfect one, so that no matter what the result is, I will not regret it or affect my wedding mood.

In other words, it is very common and realistic to take wedding photos in Beijing and choose those ordinary photo studios that are east and west. Spending five or six thousand dollars is basically common and realistic, and there are not many photos available. There are less than 4 thousand successful people, not many; There are tens of thousands, and they are also powerful brides. People who don't care so much about money generally don't spend so much money. ...

The fourth question: How to choose a photo studio? Is a big shop better or a small studio?

Bao Xiao said: This is a matter of different opinions. Because the situation in different places is different, the reputation of the photo studio is constantly changing. Big stores have the advantages of big stores, and small stores have the characteristics of small stores. Because there are more new people pursuing individuality now, small shops are also very popular. It's also good to refer to each other, whether it's a big store or a small store, visit more and see the quotation. In addition, we should make more forums to see if there are any other jm problems. If you have a budget but don't have time and don't know much about it, it's better to choose a well-known photo studio. One is that they provide complete services, and you will feel at ease. The other is that you can finally have a place to complain when you encounter problems.

When choosing a photo studio, you will see many beautiful photo albums. At first, you get hot heads easily. Those photo studios are super talkative before they are sold, and they are easily tempted. Grasp a principle: if you don't see what you like, you will never pay a deposit! Only in this way can you slowly clear your mind and find what you really want. It is best to pay less deposit, because the deposit of the photo studio is generally non-refundable. If you really regret it, it won't be too painful to save a lot.

Fifth question: What is an ampoule? Is it necessary to have ampoules?

Bao Xiao said: JMs, which started doing homework in Huajia, can always see someone saying "An Ping". What is this? Simply put, it is a kind of cosmetic, which contains liquid in a very small bottle. Its function is to smooth skin and relieve dry skin. It can also control oil secretion for oily skin, isolate makeup, and make makeup lasting.

When the photo studio puts on makeup for the bride, it will definitely promote this thing and take a strong psychological offensive, so that the thin-skinned bride can't refuse and can't spend the money (generally, the price of an ampoule is not less than 100, and at least three pieces will be promoted). Bao Xiao thinks this ampoule is definitely not a necessity. Bao Xiao's skin is dry, but he usually pays great attention to moisturizing. He started to make moisturizing masks every night the week before taking wedding photos. Therefore, even after washing his face on the day of taking pictures, his skin is still very good and there are no dry lines. Later, the makeup artist's powerful offensive didn't crush Bao Xiao, and finally he didn't buy the ampoule. It turns out that I don't have a big problem if I don't buy it, and I haven't lost my makeup all day.

Mm with oily skin may be more troublesome if you usually make up, because the oil secretion is strong and it is easy to put on makeup. However, those ampoules in the photo studio are actually low-priced products. No matter how loud they are blown, Wukesong is only 30% to 40% imported from any country, which may not be as good as the products that people usually use for their own use. Bao Xiao doesn't recommend this thing very much, but there may be other JMs that do use ampoules and think the effect is good. I also suggest you bring your own. It's really not cost-effective to buy it in the photo studio ~ ~

Sixth question: My skin is not very good, will it affect the quality of taking pictures? How to adjust?

Bao Xiao said: the skin can't be adjusted at once. Many brides are busy with weddings, but they will be very tired before marriage, which is not conducive to maintenance. Remember a principle: sleep! Sleep is the best maintenance.

Many brides have small peas on their faces, and some brides are worried that they are not white enough. These are not a problem when taking pictures, because there will be heavy makeup on the face, which is covered. But mm with dry skin should pay attention, because she wears heavy makeup all day, her skin is very tired and dry, and she has to laugh all the time, so dry lines are easy to appear! Therefore, for mm with dry skin, it is best to make a moisturizing mask for a week before taking pictures to condition the skin. After taking photos, continue to make a moisturizing mask for a week to keep your skin in the best condition for the wedding.

Many brides tend to ignore their own skin. For example, it's strange to go swimming in summer, get a panda hand and wear a tube top wedding dress when taking pictures. Although I can powder myself, I can't type well or look good. So don't bask in the sun for a month before taking pictures. You can choose some shower gel and body lotion with whitening effect, and focus on protecting your arms, chest, shoulders and neck, because these are the parts that are easy to be exposed when taking pictures. Some mm will have small peas on their backs, so generally don't be nervous, because there won't be many backs and there won't be many backless clothes. If you really want to show off your back, you can also communicate with makeup artists and ask them to cover more powder.

The seventh question: What does the husband need to prepare?

Bao Xiao said: The brides are all beautiful, and the groom in the photo is a green leaf, so don't be particularly nervous. For example, you must wear black shoes and socks. Generally speaking, it is very rare for the groom to show his feet. Some locations will shoot the bride and groom barefoot, and they are also good at hiding others. Don't worry.

Grooms are generally negligent in dressing up, and brides need to pay attention to the following points for their husbands:

1) hair. The groom's hair will be simply blown by the makeup artist, but it won't change much. It is best to finish the groom's haircut one week before the photo shoot. Dye your hair in advance So is the bride.

2) teeth. If the groom's teeth are not good, it is recommended to whiten them with white toothpaste first, or never show your teeth when taking pictures! Otherwise, the effect is very poor.

3) skin. The groom doesn't need such intensive mask maintenance (presumably he doesn't want to make a mask for his husband, just like torturing him), but he still needs to apply some moisturizing cream on the day of taking pictures, otherwise his skin will dry out, so he will also give an ampoule! Bao Xiao has a lesson from the past. He didn't use an ampoule himself, but brought a bottle for his husband!

4) beard. Some grooms grow beards easily, and then grow back after shaving in the morning and afternoon. Therefore, you should wear an electric razor on the day of taking pictures, and you can shave at any time.

5) nose hair. This is a bit ... hehe, but many boys do have long nose hair, which will burst out when they laugh, which really affects their mood. Be sure to retouch the picture before taking pictures. The bride herself should take a closer look.

6) shoes and socks. Grooms rarely get a chance to take pictures of their feet. If there is a more dynamic full-length portrait, it will also appear. The insurance plan is all black shoes and socks. But generally speaking, white suits are also equipped with white gauze, so white leather shoes are also ok. It depends on what the bride and groom think. It's best not to choose other shoes with bright colors. What a pity if you wear them.

7) rings and nails. The groom's hands will have more opportunities to play, so manicure, don't play with the black mud under the nails! You can wear wedding rings or decorative rings as needed, depending on the shooting style. Let the groom put on a small velvet bag, and be sure to put it away and pack it. Be sure to check your bag when you change clothes, or you will lose your ring if you take a photo, and you will be in big trouble.

Question 8: How to visit the wedding photo studio?

Bao Xiao said: Taking wedding photos is just like shopping. Shopping around is the best way. If you have the conditions, you can step on the spot with your relatives and friends, so that it will not become the main target of attack and you will be more sober. If you have to go in person, don't go alone, but also take care of your husband or other relatives and friends. You know, the people in the studio are also very powerful now. ...

When I go to the wedding photo studio for the first time, I may be dazzled by colorful furnishings and beautiful wedding photos. As a sober and rational little bride, we are not so easily confused! We should grasp the following principles:

1) The wedding dress outside is not for you. If you want to wear them, you must pay more money.

2) Don't just look at the photos in the album, pay attention to the style of the album itself, ask about the size, grade and pages of different kinds of albums, choose your favorite and ask about the price. You know, these are all things with a lot of water in the scene.

3) Carefully observe the large pieces hanging in the store, and see the picture frame, texture, typesetting design, etc. You can also choose your favorite name and price and use it when bargaining with them.

4) Look at the photos provided by those photo studios. You don't have to envy other people's beautiful models at all. You should know that the photos taken by every bride are the most beautiful ~ the key point is to look at accessories, makeup, background, design, style and your appetite is the best ~

5) If it is the first time to go to the photo studio for consultation, simply consult each suite, and don't make an impulse down payment! The deposit of the photo studio is non-refundable. Don't trust their preferential period. This kind of preferential activity is available every day, even if it is not available, we can talk about it!

6) This is more important, that is, to be sincere, to be calm and not to be at a loss. Sincerely express your interest in a plan and take it back to discuss with your family. Although I can't decide today, it is very likely that I will shoot in the near future ... You know that the competition in the studio is still very big, and I can't decide after consulting for a long time, and there are many quarrels. How to come in and leave happily is very important.

7) When shopping around, you can tell some information you got from other countries with the reservation as a bargaining chip. Why do you have reservations? For example, Studio A said that we would give you a 30-inch oil painting. In studio B, the same price is only 24 inches. Don't come up and say "A". Give me 30 inches. I want 30 inches! Watch and speak slowly, maybe B finally gave 50 inches!

8) We should not only observe the picture quality and shooting technology of the studio, but also observe his business situation and service consciousness. If you are the only guest in the holiday, you should be vigilant. A little contradictory. On the one hand, it's afraid of many people, on the other hand, it's a little dark and there are no guests in the shop ... it depends on who will greet you and whether his/her clothes and conversation are pleasing. Take a wedding photo, and the picture is a happy one. If you feel sad from the beginning, how can you take a good photo? If you find a photo studio that doesn't pay attention to customer service and only cares about bragging and soliciting customers, you'd better run away. There must be a pot to drink in the future!

Question 9: How to talk about orders?

Bao Xiao said: after shopping around, you stupid brides should know better. It's time to start deciding to sign the bill. This is the first battle of all campaigns, but it is not easy to fight well. The first thing to do is to communicate with your husband! Generally speaking, the husband will say, "I listen to you!" " I hope you like it! "However, there are a lot of uncertainties in our hearts and we need to let our husbands give advice. In fact, my husband really can't figure out the gifts and photos, big and small. Their only advantage is that they are clear-headed and sensitive to budget. Therefore, brides should talk first, and then let their husbands make the final decision. They must discuss a bottom line in advance. If this bottom line is not reached, their husbands will never let go, which makes it easier to cut. In addition, it should be noted that the studio suites are all priced. It is important to talk more about the content on the basis of the same price, rather than thinking about things. The price is cheap and unrealistic.

In addition, when talking about the bill, we should pay attention to prevent the pre-sale of the photo studio from avoiding the heavy and avoiding the light. They usually get you lost in those minor aspects and give you more small gifts. There are also the number of photos, the grade of large films and so on. , will be deliberately bypassed, let you spend a lot of money later. For example, if the number of books is only 20, you should talk as much as possible; Don't believe what they say, 20 is enough. When the time comes, shoot more than 100, and don't give up any of them.

Question 10: What must be in the sequence?

Bao Xiao said: There are many miscellaneous things in the studio suite now. There are many kinds of photo albums, and each price is different! Of course, the most expensive is usually the best. We don't have to pay attention to their terms, what is comprehensive and what is Camilla, we just need to look at the types of things, and then choose the best in each category, even if we have completed the task!

Basically, a match set must contain the following:

1) photo album (this content is very rich, and Bao Xiao will explain it in detail later)

2) screening large-scale movies (at least one of the most upscale studios)

3) Clothing (at least one set of vip)

4) At least one chief makeup artist (including Taiwan Province makeup artist, referred to as Taihua for short).

5) At least one set of chief photography (including Taiwan Province photographer, referred to as desk photography).

6) Location (or sun shed, in short, a place with sunshine feeling)

7) jewelry. This little treasure is not very valued, and the reason will be explained later.

8) Wedding invitations and posters. This is what the bride who prepares for the wedding must do, so as not to worry about two things.

There are all kinds of other gifts, and so on. Finally, don't forget to ask for a VIP card from the photo studio, and you can take anniversary photos for free in the future. Other relatives and friends can also use it, but it's not for nothing.

Question 1 1: How to determine the album when signing the bill?

Bao Xiao said: There must be at least 1 album. General photo studios will provide two copies. Why? Because two books are not enough, you will have to pay more for one! Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer patterns of living with parents-in-law. Newcomers are generally willing to live alone, their own small home, parents' home, parents' home. Therefore, it is best to have three albums; But it is not cost-effective to make a photo album in a photo studio. Adding an album as it is is about 1, 000 yuan. With this money, it is better to take a trip to Wukesong with the negative, and you can make 3 or 4 copies.

Bao Xiao thinks one album is enough. Only the bride and groom can really watch it over and over again. Others just watched it once. The photo album placed at her husband's house will be thrown under the bed soon ... doesn't the photo studio provide two photo albums? Either take off the first novel and replace it with a negative; Either you don't want your parents' photo albums, but you want two magazines' photo albums, which are lighter and easier to carry and read.

There are many kinds of photo albums, such as gold and silver carvings, integrated ones and full-page ones, which are very complicated. Bao Xiao didn't think it necessary to understand all the terms. When talking about the bill, look at all the photo albums in the photo studio, ask the price of each one, and then ask which one is the suite. If you don't like it, you must strive to upgrade the album without paying.

It's important to look at the photo album in advance. Many brides don't think the photo album is ideal until they get the film. It will be very troublesome at that time, which will affect their mood-because you have paid the full amount at that time, and you are no longer a god. Recently, I saw a bride ask why she put the photo on the album cover, which was not very atmospheric. That's why she didn't choose an album properly.

Full version means that there is no blank space around, and photos fill every page of the album. Bao Xiao personally likes this style, and the studio will strongly recommend it. If you want to keep your debut album, try to upgrade to the full version. Otherwise, only 7-inch photos will be converted into negatives. In the future, you can find a print shop with a few yards to print a 7-inch one for only 1 yuan, and also print 10 photos and send one.

In fact, the number of books is the most important. Generally, the asking price for a photo is above 100. Let's recall the order again, that is to say, a wedding photo of 2500 yuan is actually only the price of 25 photos! It can be seen that photos are the center of everything. Silly brides can try to add photos to the album when talking about bills. For example, you can add photos of 10P to the photo albums of 12P and 13P. You can add some money or cut off some other gifts, but it should be more cost-effective than later, because nothing was paid in the early stage, and the silly bride is the most emboldened!
