Key points of wedding photography (3)

The second stage of wedding photography for beginners (wedding photography), fool setting and compulsory shooting projects

3. Necessary materials for the wedding banquet

A. Before the wedding

(i) Bridal dressing room, where many sisters want to take photos with the bride; (2) reception desk, personnel receiving gifts, signature books, decorations, etc. ; (3) Decoration of dining table and main table; (four) the stage, venue, door decoration and wedding photos; And (v) the interaction between parents, groomsmen and guests.

B.the wedding is ready to start.

(a) the groom disappeared, said the approach. (2) The preparation outside the venue is sometimes quite funny, or when the bride and groom are nervous, perhaps the father-in-law is more nervous. Be sure to clarify the order, such as whether there is flower girl, how many couples of groomsmen and bridesmaids, whether the bride is the groom or the father-in-law. If it is a father-in-law, it is necessary to know where the groom stands and change hands.

C. Start approaching

(a) at this time, it is best to have two groups of people. One group stood outside the door, and the other group squatted on the red carpet. The camera was aimed at the door. What do people outside the door want to shoot? As soon as the door opened, the people inside mainly went back to shoot. After shooting a group of people, they will squat back to their original places. If it's a projector, don't worry that two groups will shoot each other. If it is in the daytime or in a bright venue, we should consider the diagonal problem of photography. (2) When the door is opened, we should shoot it, especially when it is the bride's turn to enter the venue. (3) When flower girl enters the venue, he usually takes a flower blue in his hand and throws the petals out. Children's innocent appearance and interaction must be photographed, but don't be too nostalgic, or you will miss the point. (4) The best man and bridesmaid enter the venue, just photograph it, because many best men and bridesmaids are improvising, so the interaction is less. First, shoot the momentum of opening the door, and then press the shutter wildly. The focus is on the expression of the bride and groom on the way, and the groom pays tribute to relatives and friends. If there is a process in which the father-in-law gives the bride's hand to the groom, then the moment of hand handover is the key. (6) When the bride is seated, you can take photos of the groom's intimacy and pull the chair and skirt here? Things like that (not intimacy, I can't measure it). After you sit down, it's time to shoot the interaction at the main table. (v) Take a photo of speaking on stage, pouring champagne and other activities. If there are activities such as exchanging rings, pouring glasses of wine, stamping feet and lifting veils, it is of course the focus. If there are guests who are far away from each other, just make up a few photos. A group photo is a must.

D. Providing food

(A) serve show, to be honest, it is difficult to shoot well. If the light is too dim or the light rotates, the success rate is too low. Usually only the finishing action of the chef's arm is filmed. (2) Take a snapshot casually while eating, focusing on the interaction of the main table. The elders at the main table left to toast, and the groom walked around. If the groom runs too hard, he will find that the bride's face stinks. (3) However, because the bride leaves the table, the groom will walk around more boldly. Just follow the groom. Maybe there will be a performance on the stage. By the way, you can also secretly put down the camera and eat something. At this time, the key point is to know where the bride and groom will appear behind, and to keep looking for the groom from the corner of his eye. When the groom disappears, it will stand by.

E. The second method

(1) Generally, there are stalks, so we must find out where they entered, what clothes they wore and what form they entered, otherwise it would be embarrassing. Maybe the groom will sing "The Moon Represents My Heart", and the bride may be a dance club in the university. She will dance with former members, or send roses or bear dolls along the way. I have come down in mid-air, so I must ask. Or photographers are embarrassed to rush (2) performing activities on the stage, throwing bouquets, throwing cauliflowers, pulling ropes, and proposing marriage in public. Anyway, it is not a big problem where the activities go. (3) First of all, you should know the lines of toasting, but because toasting is not a very tense activity, even if you don't take a clear picture of each table or just take a few pictures, you won't care too much, occasionally.

F. Third admission or seeing off guests

(i) Take photos before entering the venue or seeing off the guests. At this time, it's time for the groom's activities again. At this time, because everyone is a little drunk, the groom's buddies are all on the stage, drinking wine, sneaking around ... and so on. (2) Similarly, you can secretly put down the camera and get something to eat. Keep looking for the groom from the corner of your eye. After the groom disappears, you stand by. (3) After the groom disappears, you go to the guest seat. Take a picture of the scenery outside the door. Maybe you can catch dad sneaking out to smoke, take pictures of the decorations in the gift basket, or arrange the thank-you cards or small photos on the gift table and take some pictures. (4) The guests are in chaos before they come out. Ask them to take some photos with the gift blue first, which is the easiest time, because the wedding reception is coming to an end. (4) When the guests appear, they should stand opposite the bride and groom and the people who see them off, and then take a group photo. Remember the setting of the group photo. Because there are many people to take pictures, all cameras will come out at this time, so there are several tips.

(1) Shout loudly: Look here, raise your left hand, I want to take two pictures, and deduct two quickly, thank you. Avoid guests' eyes drifting around.

(2) Shout loudly: Come, I will help you shoot. Take everyone's cameras and shoot them one by one. Remember to take a round (maybe 3~5 cameras) before returning it to the guests. Don't shoot one camera at a time, it's messy and slow.

(3) If possible, leave some space. If you don't want to shoot, the guests will slip away behind you, so as not to press the shutter and walk alone.
