Please help us think about what matters and contract terms should be paid attention to when taking wedding photos to prevent being cheated by merchants.

When choosing a photo studio, be sure to look around. The first one can go to a small photo studio near his home, prepare a small notebook to record the conditions of the package he gave, and then prepare a list with the following contents:

1. number of albums (generally two); What sizes are there (generally one 18 inch and one 12 inch, try to be as big as possible); Ask about the type of photo album (the best photo album now is full-page crystal photo album, and some places are called glass photo album. If the merchant says that the best photo album is glass when he shows it to you, he must indicate that it is glass photo album when signing the bill, because the crystal photo album he said is not what you see); Ask how many albums there are (referring to a spread), usually 10 (please indicate that the inside page without cover is10 when signing the bill); How many photos each album contains; Ask if the photos in the album are different (most merchants will do the same thing, and he will tell you that one of them is a virgin album, so I suggest you do the same thing. Don't listen to him at this time, be sure to make two different ones, and he will agree at last); Ask if all photo albums have photos on the back cover.

2. After adding photos, how much will it cost to enter the book, how much will it cost to enter the book, and whether it will be retouched (generally, photo negatives will be sent to the book, preferably both refined negatives and original negatives).

3. Ask the bride and groom how many sets of clothing styles they have, and whether they can choose clothing jewelry in the audience (the clothing of famous stores will be divided into regions, and newer and more beautiful clothes will be in the VIP area. You have to add 500-800 yuan to wear such clothes, so you'd better choose a shop without a special area); Can you try on the clothes one day in advance (some stores will agree, and if you try them on when you are not busy, you will be well greeted. Although some shops promised to try it on, they were fooled by the lady on the day of trying it on, saying that they could not see the effect now and had to wear makeup to look good. The makeup artist will help you choose according to your style. Don't contradict her at this time, just say it doesn't matter, try it on first. I was fooled by that lady at that time. On the day of the photo shoot, she chose two clothes for me that I didn't like at all, and the shape was already done, so I didn't bother to talk to her again. As a result, none of the photos I took were wearing these two clothes. Everyone should remember my lesson and say "no, no" to the style I don't like. Excuse me, can I wear the selected clothes indoors and outdoors? If not, you can choose several sets outdoors.

4. Whether Anping, eyelashes, jewelry and headdress are provided free of charge, if not, can you bring your own clothes (eyelashes are generally free, Anping won't, and these are not expensive to buy outside, photo studio 100 Anping, only five yuan in Wukesong). Some stores will recommend you to use flowers for styling, and you should also ask if you can bring your own (usually buy some lily roses and so on).

5. Is the DVD in the delivered CD dynamic? Some stores are called Dream DVD, but they are not actually made of ordinary FLASH. You can ask him to show you a sample when you go to the shop.

6. What kind of paper is used for photos? Kodak is generally the best. What materials are used in the inner pages of the album? Some of them are made of polyvinyl chloride. Although it looks good, it is also expensive. The inner pages of the album don't need to be particularly thick (it will be particularly thick), but the general thickness is enough (just like the sample book he showed you).

7. Are makeup artists and photographers Taiwan Province photographers (no, it doesn't matter, so to speak), and are they chief makeup and chief photography (this must be indicated on the order form, otherwise you will be told to pay more if you want to be the chief photographer); Do you want to shoot one-on-one (generally, famous shops are not, but they are usually running seats, and medium-sized shops generally don't guarantee one-on-one, so it is best not to go on May Day, November Day, Saturday and Sunday, and it is best to take a day off, because there are fewer people taking pictures, and the store will naturally be more careful with you). Where to shoot the location, who will pay for the car, tickets for scenic spots and so on, how to solve the lunch, if the weather is bad, can we shoot the location another day?

8. Whether to arrange films in groups when selecting films, if not, it's best to make the studio promise to arrange films in groups according to clothing sets.

9. What other gifts (as many as possible, as many as possible, and finally turn him into photos and negatives)

10. Payment method, deposit, down payment and final payment, and when to pay (don't give more deposit, usually in 200 yuan, so you can go to other stores if you go back on your word, and you can also get rid of this part of the deposit if your newly selected store agrees to take the bill; The general store will ask you to pay the full amount on the day of shooting, so don't promise. No matter what he does, he must pay the final payment when picking up the album, at least leave it in 500 yuan).

The above contents should be discussed with the photo studio one by one and recorded in a small notebook (don't think you have a good memory, so don't write it on paper. What you write on paper is convenient for you to compare different photo studios, and sometimes it can be used to bargain with them to see who gives the best conditions. If you are not satisfied with the given conditions, you can put forward your own requirements to the studio. If this company doesn't agree, there are other companies to choose from. When you set up a studio, you must sign the bill. What the studio promises, big or small, should be marked on the list to prove it. At that time, I saw eight photo studios before I decided that the contents of the set were: two photo albums, one 18 inch glass photo album, one 16 inch glass photo album, eight sets of clothes, 30 films each, another 40 films, a fantasy DVD, a suitcase and the outer shadow of the Ming Tombs Reservoir. They are in charge of the car, but they are in charge of lunch and the chief makeup artist. * * * Three thousand won.
