Matters needing attention in taking wedding photos

Introduction to wedding photos (1)

give rise to

For girls, there is no need to mobilize to take wedding photos before marriage. This paragraph is specially written for men. Wedding photos must be taken, not by me, but by my husband. This is the conclusion he reached after consulting many parties before marriage and being proved correct by practice.

An ordinary girl may only be the real protagonist at the moment of marriage. If there is no wedding, then perhaps only taking wedding photos is her justified and beautiful opportunity. Faced with so many "ones", can you still have the heart to say "no"? What will happen if you don't do it? The prospective husband should be keenly aware that this will be the best excuse for his wife to criticize you. Which do you choose, spending thousands of dollars or being nagged by your wife all your life?

Excluding the factor of money, the most difficult and biggest test for men to take wedding photos is "patience". Almost everyone who has experienced it has filmed it all day. For girls, this is also a good opportunity to test their husbands, although it is a bit late. A patient man is really a valuable asset to a woman. If he quarrels with you impatiently when taking a wedding photo, or throws you into a photo studio to take a single photo and runs to the door to smoke, this kind of man, alas, is better to see through it early.

Check the situation before taking action.

Set the time before shooting. In my opinion, the seasonal factor of wedding photography is not very important. The wedding dress shop is warm in winter and cool in summer. Only those who like location shooting need to choose the season (I don't think "outdoor photography" is important, and this issue will be introduced later). Of course, there are relatively few people and less waiting time in the off-season, and the price may be slightly cheaper.

Step on the spot mainly depends on price, service and clothing. As for the shooting level, it is the most unreliable. The makeup, scenery, lighting and composition methods of wedding photos are roughly similar. Judging from the sample photos, there is not much difference in each store; In addition, you are not sure whether the sample you see is really taken by our photographer; Most importantly, you can't predict in advance the level of photographers assigned to you. If you are unlucky and encounter a level of garbage, you will be in trouble. This item is completely out of our control, so I basically skipped it.

Some friends are most concerned about clothes, and the clothes in any shop are almost the same. I also pay great attention to clothes, only to find out after filming. Don't look at the most beautiful ones, they don't belong to us. Unless you are willing to spend more than 65,438+00,000 yuan, you can have this and that. So, be sure to ask me what clothes I can choose at this price. At the same time, considering Mr. Wang's clothes, although there are not many styles of men's wear, there are also patterns on the bow tie and waist seal.

Pay attention to the "off-season discount" floral design. But the off-season may indeed be cheaper than usual.

deposit

Most wedding photography shops require a deposit of several hundred yuan, and the deposit is naturally non-refundable. When paying the deposit, you must discuss the price, style, photo requirements and even the shooting time of wedding photos with the store in detail. These will be clearly written on your deposit slip. This step should not be underestimated. It can be said that the satisfaction of taking wedding photos depends on this step. The rule of the wedding photography shop is to pay before shooting. Once the money is paid, many details will not be satisfied if you don't ask in detail in advance. Even if you think you are meticulous, you will still make mistakes in a place you didn't pay attention to. Then no one will pay attention to you no matter how you complain, or you will be stared at: what else do you want? !

No one wants to pay the deposit easily. There is already a discount, and it is almost impossible to bargain any more. The most likely thing is to ask for more benefits within your own price range. The so-called income may not be much, because the cost of each item is not listed and cannot be calculated, so we no longer consider losing money, but only transforming what we don't need into what we need. In short, we are satisfied.

Then discuss "special effects". Post-production, especially special effects, is the main focus of wedding shops. Otherwise, it will be much cheaper to take a negative and develop it in a general photo studio. There is also the need to discuss the style of special effects, so as not to get the final effect different from what you think! There is also the appearance of the album, these details, we must say in advance!

Next, I will talk about clothes. Too many clothes are not necessarily good. If you wear more clothes, you have to wear more makeup and take longer to shoot. Women are certainly happier when they shoot, but men are not. Later, their expressions became stiff. The photos of two people, hello, he is not good, and finally he can't get into the book, and the result is white. So I suggest that if you don't shoot on location, you should wear three sets of clothes: white gauze, Chinese style and evening dress.

prepare

The preparation requirements before shooting are clearly written on the back of the order, but there are still some small places that everyone should pay attention to.

Girls should pay attention to the following points:

1. On the day before filming, Qian Qian could not drink water 1 hour before going to bed. I didn't drink it that night, so I couldn't help taking a sip before going to bed. This little dry mouth killed me and the bags under my eyes came out the next day. I didn't know how to stick cucumber skin at that time, so it was swollen. Fortunately, the makeup artist rubbed a lot of powder, and the light in the studio was relatively flat, which was not obvious in the photo.

2. Be sure to wear a strapless bra, and it is best not to wear a pullover, because you do your hair first and then change clothes. It doesn't matter if you really forget, the shop will give you a clean sweater.

3. It is recommended to apply light nail polish in advance. As soon as I sat down that day, I was pressed and coated with a layer of light blue nail polish, saying that it was because my nails were obviously beautiful when I took it. I don't like blue nails. I should paint my own bottle light pink. (Nail stickers are available)

4. If it is dry skin, it is best to bring a bottle of moisturizing oil; If it is allergic skin, it is best to bring your own foundation. The makeup artist wiped off my carefully applied face cream and eye cream with make-up water and directly applied foundation, which made my dry skin wrinkled and wrinkles almost exposed.

As for men:

Get a haircut a week in advance and shave before leaving-this is also a painful lesson for us. The last suit we shot had some great expressions, and it finally appeared in the book because I found my husband's beard had grown out. He got up at 6 o'clock in the morning to get ready, and photographed from 9 o'clock in the morning to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, nearly 12 hours. It is strange that his beard doesn't grow.

Then you can prepare something to bring. Wedding rings must be worn, or you can bring beautiful necklace earrings, preferably thick and obvious (be careful not to lose them), such as pearl necklaces, and thin chains will be required to be removed; You can do it without it. The store will provide it. People who wear glasses can bring their own beautiful frames. They are not allowed to wear glasses when shooting, and the frames prepared in the shop may not be suitable for your face.

Food preparation, the store will provide some bread and drinks, if not, everyone should prepare in advance. Be careful not to break your makeup when you eat. To tell the truth, you won't be in the mood to eat at that time. Be patient.

It is also very memorable to take photos of makeup and fitting with a camera, but some shops are not allowed to take photos in the store, but no one will restrict you when shooting on location. You can take more photos.

I want to add one thing here. If girls have that kind of hidden underwear, I suggest them bring it, because jms, who is very satisfied with the back, can choose those evening dresses with big backless backs when choosing clothes!

shoot

Make an appointment with the store and pay the money on the day of shooting.

There's nothing to say about makeup. Just sit there and be honest. If you have your own opinion, you can also discuss it with the makeup artist. For example, if you like your thick eyebrows, you can stop her from shaving them into thin eyebrows. Men are very simple, just blow their heads and dust them (Anping is not necessary).

In the wedding photography shop, there will be a materialized feeling. Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, listening to the barber say how much money he earned this month, I suddenly felt that I was no longer a beautiful bride-to-be, but the "thing" and "head" for others to earn money. I can't help but calculate how much commission I can let them get.

Ok, smile, miss. Don't laugh too much. My husband will open his mouth a little. My husband will be happier and laugh again. Why don't you smile when you marry such a beautiful lady? Get ready, the photographer gives the order, click, an end.

POSE talked for a semester, and soon, the lighting engineer and the background teacher were busy making balls again. We were stuffed with another bunch of flowers, and the background behind us was just about to turn back. Attention, look here, look here. Teacher POSE's practice has started again.

Change your hair style every time you change clothes. Do this a few times, and the hair washed the day before will become a pile of hay, which is also helpless. I don't have a problem with hairstyles. Just trust the stylist. Some clothes with hairstyles didn't look good at that time, so they looked good in the photos.

Dress

Choosing clothes is the only thing you can make your own decisions on the day of shooting. At this time, you must not be careless. It's okay to be picky. Observe the clothes of the person in front of you and see the effect. If you feel good, continue to pay attention to them. If the clothes you like are worn out by others, you must be patient and never make do with it. Of course, girls with thin waists have more choices.

Stylistically, I tend to be simple and clear. The style of the upper body is more important, because wedding photos are basically aimed at the upper body, and simple clothes have a better contrast effect. There is no need for fragmentary lace or invisible patterns, and the headlights in the studio will not be obvious once they are hit.

In terms of color, it is recommended to choose dark clothes other than white gauze. The people in the wedding photos are all white, but the light-colored clothes are fatter and can't reflect the delicate feeling. Red, bright blue, dark green and purple are all good.

The first set is white gauze, of course. Girls with beautiful shoulders can choose bare shoulders or transparent shoulders with thin shoulder straps, and thick arms can be covered with long gauze skirts.

Of course I wear Hanfu or Japanese clothes. Japanese clothes may look good, but I have a national mentality and I can't accept it anyway. Hanfu is generally divided into two types, cheongsam and gege. Gege's "hat decoration" greatly limits the play of hairstyle. The girl with a small face can hardly see her face under the pressure of that hat. The loose space clothes covered the curve of her body. How can cheongsam be sexy?

The evening dress should be close-fitting and sexy, not afraid of showing off the shoulders. Try to make the color darker, preferably with sequins, so that the effect will be better.

Men's clothes have nothing to choose from, except a suit and a tuxedo with a bow tie, and a matching waist seal. Need to be reminded that when choosing Hanfu, it is cool for slim men to wear Chinese tunic suit with women's cheongsam, especially the white Chinese tunic suit, which is a handsome guy; The fatter one looks better in a mandarin jacket, can hold up, and has some manners. However, when you step on the spot, you should do a good job of reconnaissance. Not all shops have Chinese tunic suits.

Outdoor scene

When shooting outside, the bride's white gauze is always the kind with a long back. From a technical point of view, it is difficult for the square negative of the 120 machine used in the studio to show a long backswing. Sometimes, due to the weather, photography technology, scene selection and other issues, the shooting effect is not satisfactory. Therefore, it is better to choose the sun shed than the lot (the price of the sun shed is higher than the lot, but I believe it can be discussed as a requirement when paying the deposit).

Of course, if you insist on taking pictures outside, you can prepare a bunch of flowers besides taking some with your camera, and the big ones should be brightly colored.

Film selection

When choosing films, you should be clear-headed. It is difficult to ensure that more than 50 films are not dazzling. Don't pay attention to the impatience of the waitress who accompanied you to the movies. You still want to be angry with her because you can't choose a good movie.

After deciding the photos to be registered, you can choose different photos for special effects, crystals and frames, but you can't use films other than registered photos for crystals and frames, but you can specify which one to make crystals and which to make frames. As for the special effects, if you ask which photo to do which special effects, I'm afraid you will be rejected by the film selection lady, so be sure to talk about what special effects you want when you pay the deposit.

Where the bridal shop really makes money is in this extra film. It is inevitable that it can't be attributed to the beautiful image of yourself and your lover, and it happened again unconsciously. I bought this film at that time, so don't forget to bring more money on the day of film selection. If you don't care about money, then you can buy your favorite movies, and the rest of the movie shops will be destroyed. It's too late to get them.

Generally, white yarn will be better, because it is the first set, in good condition, and it is also the focus of shooting, and the number will be more. Because it looks solemn, white gauze photos are generally chosen for mounting photos. If possible, choose a few pieces of each kind of clothes to take care of different backgrounds and styles. Finally, take a closer look at the face, clothes, background and other parts of the selected photo. A friend of mine made a crystal film with a very good expression. When he took it home, he found a pin hanging on his clothes, which was very clear. My principle is perfection. Movies that look good but have defects can be bought and modified, but they are never allowed to be written into books.

Don't be lazy when taking pictures. Look at each photo carefully. If you find any problems, ask them quickly. Finally, what problems are left at home that will block your heart.

Finally, I want to make a small discovery. Each version of the photo is attached to the album with double-sided tape, which is completely acceptable.

Pay attention when choosing a wedding photography company

1. Select the key points. Style and number of dresses, service attitude, photo design, peripheral gifts, reasonable price and clear contract. ...

2. Confirmation of human and material resources for location shooting. Flowers holding flowers, the car of the photography company, in addition to the photographer, at least one male and one female assistant, boys to assist in photography; Girls help make up, change clothes and change hair styles. If there are only boys, we must solve the problem of makeup and hairstyle.

3. Confirmation of the definition of additional expenses. For example: makeup fixative, wig for banquet, hourly salary for early makeup ... (Note: there is no extra charge for basic maintenance! )

Appearance design and gifts: bride's family album, signature silk, photo frame, jewelry box, gold marriage certificate, thank you card, relatives and friends card, wedding makeup, anniversary photo, car color, ancient gift box, bridesmaid's flower girl dress, easel loan, banquet dress jewelry. ...

Discounts in related industries: beauty, venue layout, restaurants, travel agencies. ...

5. Confirmation of payment method. It is best to pay by credit card, because you can get the bank's signature and invoice to prove that you have paid. Never pay in one lump sum, which will affect the quality of follow-up service.

How to choose a wedding dress

1. The colors and styles of clothes should be different:

Being too close will make the shooting effect special, and each group of photos in the album looks similar.

2. The overall accessories of the dress:

Including bouquets, hair accessories, necklaces, earrings, hand-made satin gloves ... The head yarn of white gauze dress has many choices such as retro openwork lace, ribbon edge, pure mesh and so on.

3. The groom's dress:

Can be matched with vest-style, tuxedo, retro-style and other options, and the dress company should also provide lensless frames for shooting.

4. Complete confirmation of clothing: whether there are stains, holes and damage. ...

Banquet dresses should be brand-new. If they are old, at least they should be kept clean and beautiful.

6. The texture of gloves and veils can be changed as much as possible.

Matters needing attention in modeling and makeup

1. Design confirmation:

A dress matches a style, not just a dress. Lipstick and eye shadow can also change with style.

2. A complete set of bride makeup should include: hairstyle, headdress, facial makeup, false eyelashes, nail polish, body powder, wig that must be used when taking wedding photos, and it will be decided according to personal preference when the formal banquet is held.

Please pay attention to the actual shooting.

1. The shooting date is best not to be crowded with many couples on the same day and at the same time.

2. Don't wear shoes casually when shooting: it will be uncoordinated for the camera to shoot at the foot. Bride shoes taken on location can choose sandals that are light and easy to walk to avoid foot pain.

3. Before shooting, you can collect thank-you cards from relatives and friends or demonstration photos in magazines to understand your favorite and desired styling design and photography style.

4. Pay attention to the smoothness of the dress and jewelry when shooting, and don't skew or fall off.

5. You can also use dynamic petals or bubbles when shooting.

6. Be careful not to shoot external sundries.
