DIY wedding photos new trend among white-collar workers

The simple wedding photography package is 6,888 yuan, and the luxurious collection wedding photography package is 14,888 yuan. Wedding photos are expensive, laborious and time-consuming, and even "white-collar workers" will frown. An easy and low-cost wedding photography mode - DIY wedding photography is quietly popular in society.

Bring comfort to memories

Yang Yang and Ma Xiaohui plan to get married on December 28. As the big day approaches day by day, the wedding photos of the two of them have not yet been taken. These days, the two of them have visited many wedding photo studios. The cheapest set of wedding photos is priced at 3,680 yuan, not including location shooting.

Yang Yang, who is engaged in advertising design, had an idea and thought of his friend Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao is a photojournalist for a newspaper in Lanzhou. Yang Yang asked Zhang Hao to take wedding photos for him. Zhang Hao readily accepted. This is where the idea of ??DIY wedding photos came from.

Yang Yang told reporters: "DIY wedding photos are really simple. Ma Xiaohui and I went to a wedding rental place to rent two sets of wedding dresses, and hired a makeup artist to be responsible for the 'follow-up makeup'. Zhang Hao Prepare the camera equipment and reflectors, and as soon as the car drives off, we will hit the road and go on location.”

Ma Xiaohui took out the wedding photography album for reporters to browse and said: "Lanzhou's Civic Square, Longyuan City Sculpture, and Wetland Park are all very good location locations. Excellent photography technology, coupled with We worked closely together, and the photos we took were beyond our expectations."

"Because we are acquaintances, everyone talked and laughed, and got into the mood naturally. In addition, Zhang Hao is good at 'capturing', so the pictures are very natural."

"After the shooting, I did a little processing myself and then went to the wedding photo studio to pay for the production. The total cost was more than 1,000 yuan. Not only did I save money, but I also left a beautiful memory." Yang Yang said proudly.

Many people in the photography and art circles in Lanzhou started taking DIY wedding photos long before Yang Yang and Ma Xiaohui.

Convey emotions

Many people believe that the reason why DIY wedding photos are popular among "white-collar workers" is mainly due to the following reasons.

“In the context of the global financial crisis, people are spending money in a ‘tightening of money’ and will be frugal wherever they can.” Li Min said.

Li Min said that he works for an import and export company. The global financial crisis has severely affected his company, and he and his fiancée will have to keep their "wedding" simple.

It is understood that many people choose DIY wedding photos because of their “affordability”.

“I like the relaxed, natural, happy and comfortable atmosphere when acquaintances take wedding photos.” Pei Yixin, who took DIY wedding photos earlier, said another incentive for DIY wedding photos.

Warm memories, tacit cooperation and natural expression are also the attractive features of DIY wedding photos.

Frugal style is popular

As the global financial crisis affects people's daily lives, "white-collar workers" have begun to become frugal, and taking DIY wedding photos is a concrete manifestation of this.

The increasingly popular trend of cooking your own dinner and reducing entertainment consumption all reflect the life attitude of "white-collar workers".

Wang Yanyan, associate professor at Lanzhou City University, believes that at the beginning of reform and opening up, subtle changes in the domestic economic situation often caused people's panic and uneasiness. Now, 30 years later, people can analyze various issues more objectively and calmly. This kind of crisis can also be faced with a peaceful attitude.

Wang Yanyan said that he recently saw an article on the Internet titled "10 Tips for White-Collar Workers to Cope with the Financial Crisis." The article was both humorous and pragmatic. The article mentioned that it is best not to resign, change jobs, change careers, or choose a risky industry to start a business; do not actively ask your boss for a salary increase, because layoffs often start from those with higher salaries; try not to buy a car, and be cautious when buying a house ; Even if you don’t feel a sense of crisis yet, you should be more frugal, that is, use 70% of your previous money to live your current life. These suggestions are very reasonable.

There are also people who hold different views. Financial planner Zheng Xiaoguang does not agree with a completely frugal lifestyle. He believes that in the face of the financial crisis, everyone will indeed have plans to manage finances prudently, but the "crisis" may not be an "opportunity." As for "frugality", we should advocate making some changes and adjustments to personal consumption without affecting the quality of personal life.
