Photography studio decoration

Style/theme/story

You like elegant Han Feng? European and American villages? Japanese small fresh? Retro romance? Ruins wind? Or is Leng Yan sexy? Backlight happiness?

In fact, everyone's cognition and definition of the style/theme/story of wedding photos are different, and it is not enough to communicate with each other by words.

I suggest that couples can look at other brides' wedding photos, foreign wedding photos and even movie stills online. It doesn't matter. Collect all the photos of their favorite styles or themes, print them on A4 paper or have their own tablet/laptop, and bring them to communicate with photographers on the day of discussion (this is the so-called homework and wedding planning book).

At this stage, express your feelings as much as possible! Even if it is imaginative, with the reference photos of wedding photos prepared in advance, let the photographer know what you want to present (don't be shy). Professional and responsible photographers will give appropriate suggestions based on their own specialties and experience, and then according to the new couple's own conditions (budget/appearance/personality, etc.). ), and think/discuss with the new person in a direction closer to reality or possible, so that the two sides can reach a consensus.

Favorite expression and posture (posture)

After all, the protagonist of wedding photos is a newcomer, and everyone has their own favorite angle, which refers to the angle of the face and body facing the photographer's lens. Some brides don't like to keep a straight face, some grooms think they are ugly when they smile, and some brides are afraid of having thick arms when taking wedding photos … and so on. Everyone will have their own care and love. Please be sure to let the photographer know that experienced photographers will know how to guide the newcomers to pose the best or exchange their views with them. Sometimes the photographer's perspective may bring some unexpected amazing pictures!

Image plane composition

Here refers to the proportion of people and scenery in the whole wedding picture and the artistic conception presented in the picture. Some newlyweds just like the proportion of people and scenery in each wedding photo is 1: 3 or1:2; Some people like big scenes and little people, and the whole wedding photo presents a magnificent or story-telling picture; Or occasionally there are a few wedding photos with a strong artistic sense. The focus is not on the couple's face, but on the local close-up of the body or props, which is not bad. Or like some people can't accept diagonal photos of people.

These different compositions have their own characteristics. How much can you accept? Remember to confirm yourself first and then communicate with the photographer!

Photography point

This is directly related to the theme/style of shooting, and different shooting locations should pay attention to different things.

"Peng Pai"

Generally speaking, the irresistible factors are the smallest, and many links can be controlled. Even if it is windy and rainy outside, the indoor scenery of each studio is mostly different, each with its own style.

"outdoor shooting base"

Some people say it is a shooting studio, such as Danshui Manor, Mount Mary Reiss, and True Love Peach Blossom Garden. , is specially made for shooting wedding dresses. You usually need to buy a ticket to enter the filming. Ticket prices are mostly around 2 ~ 3,000 yuan, and the number of people who can accompany you in is about 5~7 (including newcomers+photographers+stylists+drivers+assistants). There are 5~20 special scenes in it, and some will spend a lot of money to copy famous foreign scenic spots, so that newcomers can shoot the same fu as foreign countries without going abroad.

"Special Restaurant/Cafe"

In many restaurants/cafes, in order to make the guests feel like they are in a foreign country, the decorations inside and outside the shops are full of exotic customs, whether it's elegant cabins in Japan or small grocery stores in European and American villages ... representative shops can be found in almost all countries that are often heard of, and these restaurants/cafes with unique styles have become one of the attractions for many newcomers to take wedding photos! Of course, most of them also need venue rental fees. The rent ranges from as low as 8,000 yuan for two hours. Newcomers can refer to their own budgets or settings.

"outdoor scene"

Outdoor photography is popular now, and almost every couple's wedding photos will definitely have a series of outdoor photography. In order to meet this demand, many wedding companies/wedding photo studios have also developed many good scenic spots suitable for outdoor photography, such as Yangmingshan, Hu Meng, Xiaoyoukeng, Golden Melon Stone, and so on! As long as newcomers can accept all the attractions, they can be transformed into outdoor attractions; But shooting outdoor wedding dresses is more susceptible to the weather, so the choice of shooting date is very important! For example, the sky is blue in summer, the clouds are magnificent in autumn, there is a rainy season in May, and so on. And all kinds of factors should be taken into account! )

I shared so much at once. Do you remember? Every idea you want to present in a wedding photo may affect the wedding style, shooting location, outdoor or indoor shooting, prepared shooting props, shooting time/sequence, etc. All links are related.

If you don't have too many ideas, and the photographer/stylist can't clearly know what style you like in the process of communication … then the final work is not as good as expected.

When the shooting style is similar to the theme, the two sides will decide the shooting date and place after reaching a consensus.

At this stage, I suggest new friends not to be lazy. If they really don't have too many ideas, then spend more time doing their homework online:)

* At this stage, only the down payment will be made first.
