What invisible consumption did you encounter when taking wedding photos?

Many newcomers are not sure. What pits in wedding photos will make us pay extra? Even if I spent money, I didn't realize that this was a routine for merchants! Today, let the wedding ceremony take you to find out.

1, clothing

(1) Clothing optional?

The first pit for taking wedding photos is coming! Most newcomers don't know that some of the photographers' clothes are not optional. The dress in the studio is divided into ordinary area and vip area. Clothing styles in ordinary areas are outdated, with poor hygiene problems, and some even exude a faint body odor; The vip area is clean, tidy and fashionable. There is a problem of dress upgrading.

In fact, the package we bought only included the clothes in the ordinary area, but the merchants didn't point this out clearly. When new talents are really discovered, they have to spend extra money to upgrade. Therefore, before signing the contract, you must clearly ask the merchant whether the clothing is optional and reflect it in the contract.

② Check whether the clothes are damaged.

After choosing a suit, be sure to check every part carefully before signing the contract. Especially for the bride's wedding dress, it is best to check every layer of yarn to prevent the damaged wedding dress from being deducted when it is returned by the merchant.

③ Ask about the number of clothes.

For example, some businesses write 8 sets of clothes on the package. But we usually shoot normally, and we can only shoot four episodes a day at most. We need to know whether to shoot for one day or two days, 8 sets for one person or 4 sets for men and women.

2. Modeling

Some businesses will set pits for makeup artists here, which is the most common routine. Pay attention to the following points respectively:

① Overpackaged makeup artist

Merchants package makeup artists as xxx awards, or go to some countries to learn from famous teachers. When it comes to makeup modeling, makeup and hairstyle are not satisfactory. If you want to change candidates, you can only spend extra money to upgrade your appearance. Therefore, this also needs to be reflected in the contract in advance: whether to provide free makeup trials; If you are not satisfied with the make-up exam, can you change candidates and so on. When the bride tries on the dress, she should also try to put forward all her requirements.

② Sales of skin care ampoules.

Many makeup artists sell the essence of ampoules worth 100 yuan to the bride under the banner of making the skin more docile and firm before makeup, and even tell the bride that they need to apply it to the groom to make a profit. Professional bride makeup artists have clearly told everyone that ampoules are not necessarily used, but the essence used at ordinary times can be used instead, and the makeup effect is the same. So avoid this pit, too.

③ There is an extra charge for the finalized products.

Bride styling Most businesses use powder puff and false eyelashes without extra charge, but some businesses are prevented from telling the charge when making up, and need to confirm in advance.

(4) selling personal belongings

Generally, when the bride tries on a dress, the merchant will tell her what color underwear, underwear or chest stickers she needs to better match the wedding dress, so as to promote her brand. If it's not an emergency, we can usually prepare it ourselves, and we don't need to spend extra money to buy it from the merchants.

3. Scenery

When we ask the merchants about the contents of the package, the merchants will often tell you that the package contains several indoor scenes and several outdoor scenes, but they will not tell you the specific scenes. Even if we do, there may be situations where we encounter better-looking scenes in actual shooting and need to upgrade the scenes. One is that newcomers spontaneously want to subsidize money to shoot better-looking scenes, and the other is that merchants sell and encourage guests to upgrade. So this point also needs to be asked before signing the bill for payment.

4. Photography team

Similar to the makeup artist's routine, a photographer is packaged as a chief photographer, but in fact he may be a part-time photographer or a substitute photographer. If the newcomers are not satisfied with the shooting effect, they need to pay more to upgrade the photography team. So be sure to watch the real guest film before shooting, ask which photographer took it, can you specify it, and so on.

5. Tickets, meals and accommodation costs

Studio packages generally include these fees, which need to be checked clearly in the contract. However, it is inevitable that photo studios or personal photo studios will pay at their own expense, and it is still necessary to confirm in advance before signing the payment.

6. Increase the price of negatives.

At present, most merchants give away all the negatives after shooting, so there is no need for newcomers to spend extra money on them. However, there are also a few businesses that make a profit by selling negatives to newcomers by the number of films. The price of a film ranges from several yuan to tens of yuan, which needs to be confirmed in advance and reflected in the contract.

7, strengthen the photo must choose more than one.

Make a good budget, stick to your point of view, keep a clear head and be more confident when choosing photos. When choosing, you can ask the photographer and others for advice, but you can't listen to the advice of the merchants to wash more and choose more because of the dazzling selection. Keep a clear head and think again. If you are really satisfied, you can spend some money.

8, photo album, photo frame upgrade

Generally, when choosing photos and setting up photo albums and photo frames, merchants will promote other styles on the grounds of "the latest model" and add money to upgrade. Here, when you pay attention to your choice, you can consider the matching of wedding rooms and the style of wedding photos. You don't have to worry about the style. Don't upgrade if you don't upgrade.
