Wedding scene photography (photography is not video)

I also want to help take pictures of people. I searched some wedding photography skills online and shared them here.

First understand the procedure:

Many people communicate with your friends a few days before the wedding, and it is very important to know the whole wedding process, especially some customs or religious ceremonies. Don't miss them It would be better to write them down or have an impression in your mind. Some people get married in the morning, rest at home at noon and treat guests at night, so before going to the hotel in the afternoon, they can go to the nearby parks or scenic spots and take some photos of the couple and their families. During this time, if you prepare a portrait mirror (such as a fixed-focus mirror around 85, 105 or a zoom mirror of 80-200), it can help to leave some beautiful photos. It's not bad to create a little atmosphere with some soft-focus lenses.

Arriving at the man's house half an hour in advance in the morning can not only reassure him, but also get to know his family. At this time, you can take some photos of the protagonist before going out, such as taking care of the facade and preparing gifts. The shots of his family, especially his parents, are indispensable. Don't miss the ritual scenes such as bye-bye before going out.

Actual operation:

On the way to the woman's house, get off the bus first, take a closer look at the woman's house and pat her house a little. The groom will come in soon, but don't forget, the woman will have a boy to open the car door to meet the groom. In addition, such as giving gifts, holding flowers and other shots. Women's shots are also important. The father-in-law veils the married woman, and the bride and groom bid farewell to their parents-in-law. Capturing the subtle and touching expressions on the faces of family members will make people deeply moved.

Don't forget to inquire about the ceremony when you get home. If you fully understand what we are saying, you won't be at a loss.

When you arrive at the hotel (banquet venue), you can take photos of some staff (mostly friends and relatives) to decorate the venue, get a ceremony schedule from the master of ceremonies, take a camera to observe in advance according to the procedure, look at the distance and angle, and find the position to stand behind, so that you can eat enough during the ceremony. In addition to the newcomers, don't forget to give them some shots of important people such as hosts and witnesses.

The bride can also take some photos when she is in the lounge, but give her some time to rest and dress up. At this time, some friends and classmates of the bride will inevitably visit and take some photos for them as a souvenir.

When guests sign in, they can take some photos with their own signatures, and the shots of parents and grooms greeting guests can also be taken properly. As time goes by, the ceremony will gradually reach its climax from the moment when the newcomers enter the audience. The peak should be when the two sides exchange rings. Don't forget to take a close-up at this time.

The next banquet and toast are the best opportunities for the wide-angle lens to play. It's not easy to make a toast from table to table. If you want to shoot the whole table, you can borrow a small stool from the hotel and stand on it to take pictures. It will be better. Sometimes it is inevitable that there will be a toast or some wedding games, which can capture some intriguing shots.

In addition to simply recording photos, you can also take some photos for guests and newcomers as a souvenir. The song is over, please tidy up your clothes. Parents and newlyweds can take a group photo in front of the arranged ceremony platform.

Photos taken by relatives before the wedding:

Before and after the groom walks in to pick up the bride, it is often necessary for photographers to take photos of the bride's preparation and pick up the plane. It is necessary to take pictures of the bride and groom's family in the bride's boudoir. Because the indoor environment in China is mostly white walls, it is best to take a group photo with jumping lights (flashing lights reflect flash), so that the group photo taken is more natural, and don't forget to take at least two photos to avoid the phenomenon that someone closes their eyes and focuses cheaply.

Wedding shooting:

The details of the restaurant layout must be photographed. A wide-angle lens can be used to take photos that can show both local details and scenes. During the wedding, the couple usually prepare two important links, pouring champagne tower and lighting concentric candles. It is suggested that the Champagne Tower should be shot by flash (if possible, choose to jump the lights), while the concentric candle link should be shot by on-site lights instead of flash, which can reflect the main position of candlelight.

34-35, Welcome to Snapshot

Note: It is better to add 70-200 2 to the above shooting at the entrance of the hotel. 8 such a large aperture with medium and long focal length, such as XGP, XB, XH, etc. , very easy to use.

Note: Choose important family members, relatives, leaders, friends and classmates to pat the table immediately, not too much, and pay attention to taking some pictures when parents follow the table.

26-30, take a snapshot when doing small projects.

Note: You can stand on a chair and shoot or lift the blind shot. Be careful not to use a focal length above the medium focal length when blind shot.

3 1-37. Finally, send a snapshot and other photos to the guests. If there is a cute little boy or girl, ask the groom to pick him up and take a photo with the bride.

At the end of the third volume, I personally think that the whole shooting process of the three volumes is the best, and it will not waste film for others, which is enough.

Finally: when you show the film to others, don't forget to remind them to make a high-level reprint shop, otherwise your grades will be greatly reduced.
