I don't know. Take a wedding dress? Follow these seven steps and you can sleep at night.

Wedding photography is an interesting and unforgettable experience in the process of wedding preparation. What homework should I prepare before taking a wedding dress?

Step 1- Select the wedding dress project type.

Wedding projects in the market can be divided into three categories: self-help wedding dresses, package wedding dresses and overseas wedding dresses. It is suggested that newcomers can choose according to the budget. The items that are prone to differences in the project are:

The number of shooting sets is two or three.

Does it include the groom's suit?

Does it include a shooting car, or do newcomers need to prepare their own cars?

Is it necessary to rent another venue for the new shooting venue (or the project includes indoor shooting or cooperative shooting base)

Difference of finished product output items (including several finishing groups, whether all films are given, whether there are photo frames, thank-you cards and other decorations)

Does the photographer you like in the team need to increase the price?

Do the new secrets that the team likes need to be increased?

Step 2-Set the style of wedding photos

It is suggested that this step should be considered together with the previous step, because the style of wedding photos and the selected team can be said to be interlocking. Whether it is the style of wedding photos, the tonality of photographers' works or the makeup techniques of the bride's secretary, it will affect your final wedding dress.

Style setting is very important. "Read more works and compare more" is the only way. I suggest you take screenshots of your favorite works and keep them at any time. Flip through it when commuting or in various gaps, and slowly screen out the type you like. A work that is still very emotional after reading for a long time is the style that can impress you and make you become.

Step 3-Choose a wedding dress. Related accessories ornaments

Congratulations on completing the above two steps. Wedding photos should have a preliminary structure. At this time, it is necessary to choose the bride's dress and groom's suit according to the content you set. There are many articles on the Internet that suggest different styles of clothes according to different body shapes. I suggest that when choosing a dress, you can refer to the works taken by the wedding dress shop. Some dresses "look amateurish and look amazing", so don't judge clothes too quickly.

When referring to the works taken in this wedding dress, you can refer to the relevant details together. What are the details? Shoes, accessories, hairstyles, scene postures, props used, etc. Taking these small details into account may inspire some new inspirations!

In the part of the groom's dress, it is suggested to match the color of the bride's dress to make the wedding dress more eye-catching. When choosing a suit, fabrics and patterns are also important. In addition to matching with the bride's dress, it can also be selected according to the shooting season, current popular styles, original styles and body shapes suitable for the groom.

Step 4–Set the shooting point

After the introduction, have you found that … everything has a lot to do with "setting style", that's right ~ so the setting style at the beginning is really important. When looking for a shooting spot, everyone must be as dazzled as choosing clothes. Personally, I think the scenic spot is a kind of "feeling", the feeling of forest department, the feeling of countryside, the feeling of seaside and the feeling of home …

When setting the shooting point, we should also consider the expected "shooting season", which is related to light, climate and scenery. If you can think about it in advance, you can make more preparations (for example, Yangming Mountain in winter is completely different from Yangming Mountain in summer, and the city scenery during the day is completely different from that at night). Many newcomers will refer to the "flower season" when setting up scenic spots. At this time, you must estimate the driving distance so as not to delay the trip.

It is suggested that after initially locking in a few scenic spots, we should further collect site information, confirm the relevant use time, whether additional ticket fees (rent) are needed, and consider the distance between scenic spots, and make final arrangements and decisions after comprehensive evaluation.

Step 5–Reference related works

Related works can be roughly divided into four categories: shooting scenic spots, photographer's works, new secret works and wedding dress POSE.

Shoot scenic spots

Follow the experience of predecessors to find inspiration. The same scenic spot, different shooting angles have different souls and different faces. So after determining the scenic spots, don't hesitate to start referring to many works and POSE that have already been filmed! Just like locking the style stage at the beginning, take screenshots at any time to collect your favorite photos, which is convenient for communication and discussion with photographers when shooting, so that photographers can better understand your needs.

Photographer's work

Every photographer has a good style and a unique perspective. After choosing a photographer, I suggest that you can refer to the works taken by the photographer and find out your favorite composition picture, so that the photographer can grasp the feeling you want faster!

New secret works

Every bride's secretary has a good sense of makeup and unique skills. After choosing the bride's secretary, it is suggested that you can find your favorite makeup hairstyle from the new secret works and find a similar style from the new secret collection. If you see any favorite accessories at this time, you can also ask in advance and communicate with Xinmi.

Wedding posture

Referring to so many examples, unless they are newcomers who usually like to take pictures, most of them are not good at facing the camera. Therefore, if you have time, you can collect more favorite wedding dresses and give them to the photographer first, or take them out on the day of shooting to set an example for yourself, MINUS the embarrassing moments that day. If you are really too busy to set up, just trust the photographer to guide you!

Step 6-Maintenance before shooting is very important.

After finishing the above homework, don't forget to start daily maintenance! In the maintenance section, it is recommended not to make major adjustments according to the usual procedures. In addition, the following important basic matters should be reminded:

Don't forget to put on a mask no matter how busy you are. The mask still has the function of hydrating. It is only suggested that due to the different components of the mask, it is recommended to avoid applying the mask in the morning, so as to avoid the residual components on the face of the new secret becoming crumbs when applying makeup.

Make final dyeing before 1 week &; Hairdressing, brides who like braiding can choose light hair color, and brides who like Chinese style or elegant style can choose dark hair color.

If a bride wants to have a close-up or care for her hands, it is recommended to have a manicure or nail polish 3-5 days in advance. Don't forget to choose the color that matches the wedding dress color at this time!

Hair removal work must avoid exposing small blackheads.

Step 7-related props are essential.

Choose the right Nubra, wedding photography usually can't run all day, so it's better to find someone clingy.

Bring a pair of slippers or casual shoes, which is not only convenient for activities, but also can give your feet more rest time and avoid edema and pain caused by wearing only high heels.

Necessary items for outdoor shooting (such as sunscreen spray in summer, mosquito repellent, etc ..., thick coat in winter, warm bag, etc ...)

Related shooting props (such as bouquets, wedding rings, floating balloons, special souvenirs, etc ...), you can generally write a list first and pack it the day before to avoid finding the prepared props lying in the corner of your home.
