How to communicate with photographers before taking wedding photos

Although many studios now promise that they will not be satisfied with the remake, it not only consumes energy and time, but also cannot guarantee that the quality of the remake can really meet their own requirements. Therefore, before taking wedding photos, newcomers should communicate with photographers and tell them the style they want, so that they can succeed once. In fact, it takes some skills to communicate with photographers, because we are not professional photographers, we don't know the technical terms, and we don't know whether photographers understand our own expressions. We can use pictures when the language is unclear. Individuals have different understandings of adjectives. Maybe when you say "nature", you mean taking nature as the background, and there should not be too many artificial elements in the use of light and retouching. The photographer's understanding of "nature" may be to capture your casual movements and expressions, and freely pronounce and rhyme. So please don't simply tell the photographer your requirements with adjectives. Spend some time collecting photos taken by netizens, advertisements in magazines, photos of celebrities and wedding photos. Collect all your favorite photos, and indicate which part of this photo you like on each photo. For example, like this gorgeous feeling, like a certain scene, a certain posture, a certain light, a certain color, a certain shape, a certain shooting location ... communicating with pictures can help you concretize the feelings in your mind. You can simply translate your "adjectives" to the photographer. Moreover, in the process of collecting photos, you can also sort out and think about what your wedding photos look like. The photos collected are for reference only. Whether it is feasible and suitable for you requires the appraisal of professional photographers. It's like someone wearing the same clothes as a star, or cutting the same hairstyle as a star, only to find that it's not as pleasing to the eye as their original style. The beauty of art cannot be achieved through reproduction. There is always a gap between ideal and realization. In addition, many beautiful photos can not be completed simply by excellent shooting techniques, but by the right time, place and people. The seemingly beautiful and simple photos actually contain many technologies. For ideas that are difficult to realize, you can discuss other alternatives with the photographer. Of course, the customer is God, and some reasonable requirements you want must be adhered to, but some must also be compromised and inclusive.
