What should I pay attention to when taking wedding photos?

Matters needing attention in signing a contract with a photo studio, I hope it will be useful to JMS who is about to choose a photo studio ~

Wedding photography has two institutions: photo studio and studio. Because of their different profit models, the models of products and services provided and the price system are also very different. If you choose a studio, you should refer to the following questions ~ ~

First, the choice of a system.

In fact, tying is the most confusing problem. I want to wear good clothes and take more photos, but the price of tying is correspondingly higher. There are many things I don't need, such as what's at sixes and sevens. Isn't this a waste of money? It's really hard to have it both ways, in fact, you can bypass these and talk to the photo studio ~

For example, I just referred to a set for my good friend. In Yixing Taipei bride, personally feel that the cost performance is relatively high. The content is as follows:

1, shooting mode: pure location, not location base.

2. Location: Yinchanggou with beautiful scenery.

3. Clothing: 2 sets in VIP area, top design area 1 set (all taken in Yinchanggou ~ ~)

4. Shooting time: You must wait for the latest batch of wedding dresses in the studio before choosing clothes. The time is agreed by both parties.

5. Photographer and Makeup Artist: Waiting.

6. Post-production: in-depth maintenance

7. Photo album: 18-inch photo album 1 book (the photo studio has 4 grades of photo albums, the second best), and contains 35 photos.

8. Photo frame: 36-inch Lamy.

9. Number of photos: The total number of photos taken for 3 sets of clothes shall not be less than 200, and the number of photos taken on negative film shall be 100 (this is the key! I'll talk about it in detail later! )

10, wedding day services: life-size photo display stand, bride makeup, 880 dress coupons, 580 dress coupons.

1 1, shooting fee: free (including shooting car, gas, tickets and meals. . . Anyway, the cost of shooting the road is all inclusive)

According to this list, let the studio make a price, and then bargain. 1 day later, I got a quite unexpected and very satisfactory price. Oh ~ ~ o Hehe, it's closed for the time being. I guess the studio is going to cut me. Haha ~ ~

Second, sign a contract.

Signing a contract is very important. After that, many contradictions and problems were caused by the fact that there was no clear requirement in the contract in advance, and the studio deliberately did not fully explain them, which caused many unpleasant things. Therefore, the key issues that must be clarified before signing the contract are as follows:

1, negative number. This is the key issue! A studio is different from a studio. Most of the profits of the studio come from selling photos later. 60-80 for negatives and 120- 180 for registered negatives. God ~ ~ ~ it's terribly expensive. So this question must be clear, otherwise it will fall into a bottomless pit later.

In addition, at present, the negatives given by the studio are all for CDs, generally for negatives that have only been adjusted in color and tone, and have not been modified and designed. If you want to include the design draft of the photo, you must stipulate it in the contract ~

2, the number of albums. Maybe the photo studio will tell you that the photo album is only this thick, and it won't work if it is thicker. This is absolutely a lie. Although it is impossible to make it too thick, it is absolutely no problem to add one or twenty photos. This is just their excuse!

3. clothing. Photo studios usually divide clothes into many grades. First, look through their suite books to see what area is written on the most expensive suite. You can negotiate with the photo studio according to the clothes in this area.

For example, in the photo studio I chose, you can choose clothes in the VIP area for suites above 4888, but if you want to wear clothes in the design area, you have to pay more. I will negotiate with the photo studio, and I can choose clothes in the design area without adding money and write them into the contract.

That's not all. When you choose clothes, the studio may tell you, sorry, this kind of clothes can't be filmed on location, but only indoors. So make it clear in the contract that all the clothes you choose should be able to go on location! Don't listen to what the studio says about wear and tear, how the clothes are broken, please understand what, wedding dresses are worn by so many people, and they are originally used for wear and tear ~ ~ They earn so much money, shouldn't they renovate the wedding dresses quickly? !

One more thing, clothes should be selected at least one day before shooting, and they must be clear. If you change your mind and change into other clothes on the day of shooting, you must change unconditionally!

4. Service level. Before taking pictures, I heard a lot of MM talk, including friends who said it was very tiring to take a wedding dress. They said that there were many couples together when taking pictures, usually twenty or thirty couples. The most exaggerated thing is to hear one, more than 40 couples taking pictures at the same time! Oh, my God! Listening to their descriptions, filming is like going to the hospital for a physical examination. Take the list, line up at the place where you change clothes and make up, then line up at the shooting place with the list, then line up to change clothes and styling with the list, and then go to the next place. . It was funny when it was filmed. A photographer, the same scene, the same angle, click on one and then call the next one, and do it again with the same angle and posture. After clicking, he called the next one, just like the assembly line in the production workshop, unscrewed a screw from one product and then passed it on to the people in the next process to weld another thing. . Just listen to the description and you will know how miserable it is. From 8: 00 a.m. to afternoon 12, two or three groups of photos may be taken, which is miserable ~ ~ ~

The studio I chose seems to have announced that it is required to shoot in the VIP area above 4888, so there is no need to crowd many people, and there is one-on-one service, that is, a tour guide, a photographer, two photography assistants, a stylist and five people, waiting for us to make up and change clothes, and then shoot when we come out to change styles, and then they are waiting for you, changing at noon and shooting again. . . Tell the guide if you have any requirements, and she will help you.

The whole process was very enjoyable and I was not tired at all. I also made friends with the staff. This is a one-on-one service. No matter the mood when shooting, or the quality and effect of shooting, of course, it is better than waiting in line to hold your breath ~ ~

Don't listen to the studio saying how much it costs to enjoy a set, just write it into the contract!

4. Make up. Many JMs know that ampoules are the essence of emergency skin repair. Some photo studios are poor. I only ask you if you use the essence, not to mention the charge. I won't tell you how much it costs until you use it. Please be clear before signing the contract! Some photo studios are allowed to bring their own ampoules. Many people on Taobao sell this stuff, and you can buy a set for tens of dollars. The photo studio is generally 100-400, so this photo studio doesn't allow me to bring my own ampoule. But I filmed it for three days, and only received 100 on the first day, and the second and third time were free. A friend in Wuhan told me that she took it.

5. Photo albums, photo frames, photo frames, crystal products, etc. Maybe some MM will try to ask the photo studio for more of these things and feel that they have made a profit. But when you take them home, you will find that there are not so many places to put them at home. Even if you can put them there, you will feel silly. If you leave them everywhere, you will feel very vulgar. After reading 9, you may feel bored. There is no place to hang other decorations, so there is no need to ask for these things. There is a meaningful album that can be shown to friends and relatives. How much does it cost to buy a beautiful photo frame to put it on? Why do you want to go to the photo studio to buy high-priced goods ~ ~ ~ What other laser crystals, ice sculptures, oversized inkjet prints and the like are there on the wedding day? Take the negative to the advertising company to do. Very cheap. Customize a 40cm*40cm print on Taobao as long as 24 yuan! ! I have a friend who works in an advertising company. All she needs is a photo album of wedding photography (no way, the photo studio won't make any money at all, so she won't do it ~), and she has done everything else with the company ~ ~

In short, all useless fancy things have been cut off, and it is these things that make you pay more money and feel that you have earned it! ! !

6. shoot. Before shooting, the studio will communicate with new people to see what style you like, and even which face you think is more beautiful, which can be written into the detailed list of communication with photographers. In the meantime, I suggest spending more time. It is stated in the contract that you should meet with the photographer at least one day in advance to express your thoughts and see if you can agree. If you can't, don't bother to change photographers, or you'll end up spending money if you feel uncomfortable ~ ~ ~

You need to shoot when shooting, that is, warm up. Many mm have no shooting experience, so it is difficult to get into the state at first, shooting is unnatural and they can't pose. Therefore, it is necessary to shoot. After Shoot, you should ask the photographer to show you the camera immediately. If you find something different from your own ideas, you should immediately raise it, correct it, discuss it and shoot it again. Let the photographer show it to you immediately after shooting a set. If you are not satisfied, you should shoot again immediately! It would be better if each set of shooting time, such as ten minutes, could be written into the contract!

7. Post-production. A friend of mine is very beautiful. She chose a suite of more than 1 1,000 in a well-known studio in Chengdu. Later, she spent 23,000 yuan on a photo. She wanted to PS the lines on her neck, but was told by the studio that the restored photos were not real, only the porn was original and natural! Fortunately, she has good conditions and looks beautiful. If it were me, I would cry to death ~ ~ ~

So be sure to find out what PS grades are in the studio. The best result I took in this studio was intensive training. After I choose the sample, I can even write down my specific modifications and design requirements for a photo! ! If you are not satisfied, tell them to change!

There are more and more products such as electronic photo albums and music flash, and there may be more unexpected new products. Before signing the contract, I want the studio to report to you. What products are available for post-production now? Give a list and see if there is anything you like. If so, talk about the price first, or let them pack it for free. Don't wait until the filming is over. The studio will tell you that we still have this and that. It's exciting, but

8. Wedding services. This is the ceremony on the wedding day. One of my sisters didn't know that the photo studio still managed this, but she didn't mention it. The photo studio broke down, too, and I didn't explain it to her. As a result, she spent extra money on the bride's makeup and dress.

First of all, we should find out the grade difference and the corresponding price of the bride's makeup and dress on the wedding day, and then talk with the studio about which grade of bride's makeup and dress we want, how many sets we want, whether we need money for bottles, whether we can bring them with us, and whether the bag does not include cleaning fees. Don't knock you on the cleaning fee when we return the dress, saying that the cleaning procedure of the wedding dress is complicated, and we will wear different things, regardless, and write them into the contract! !

9. Bargaining. Bargaining is bargaining, but enough is enough. Don't let others make money. How can anyone want to make you beautiful? How do they ensure the quality of service? The wool is on the sheep ~ ~

10, it is suggested that JMS with rice choose to take a wedding dress with pure location. Pure position is not the same as position. Location refers to the photography base of the studio, where many people shoot. Photographers who shoot in one place for nine times are bound to lack inspiration and cannot produce new ideas. Whether the pure location is natural scenery or scenic spots. Sichuan has many natural scenery. In recent years, Jiuzhaigou and Bipenggou have fairy-tale landscapes, miyaluo has red leaves, Kangding has plateau grasslands and Tibetan customs, and Siguniang Mountain has snow scenes. . . Nearby are tulips and lake views in Shixiang Lake, jungle flowers and bamboo scissors in Tiantai Mountain, alpine cable bridges and waterfalls in Yinchanggou, and Bailu Church in Pengzhou. . . . Being welcomed by newcomers from all over the country and even overseas, studios are mushrooming, and more and more ~ ~ Going out to shoot location is like traveling, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the world during the trip, looking for inspiration and creativity in the breath of nature, and recording happy moments ~ ~
