Are there any tips for choosing Zhoukou wedding photography?

In the process of choosing a photography studio, many newcomers are too hasty in their early preparations, or they are confused by sales routines. They pay a deposit and arrange a schedule before they fully understand it. The final result was certainly not satisfactory.

1. Things you need to know when choosing a photography studio

When couples choose a photography studio, they must You need to look at customer photos, customer photos are very important. Although each company says that its products are for customers, if you look more you can see their experience and some of them are purchased. Although the customer photos I chose were taken by myself, I gradually discovered that the customer photos were either taken by models with good expressive skills, or by photographers with the most expensive packages in the store. Therefore, in summary, "see more and ask more", so that you can understand which wedding photography company in Zhengzhou is the best.

There are many details that need to be confirmed when choosing a store. Generally, merchants will give you several packages, including how many sets of clothes, how many scenes, how many negatives, how many refinements, how many physical photo album enlargements, etc. You can adjust the package according to your needs. The store will usually agree.

① Need to confirm the shooting time

Except for travel photography, shooting in or around Chengdu is generally within one day complete. If you want to shoot an outdoor scene, after confirming the shooting time, if the outdoor shooting cannot be done due to weather reasons, you need to confirm whether only the outdoor scene will be rescheduled, or whether the entire scene will be rescheduled.

②The number of costume sets needs to be confirmed

For example, if the above-mentioned shooting is completed in one day, it is usually completed from 8 a.m. to evening. The makeup time is longer, and there is a lot of delay on the way to the location shooting. Therefore, I suggest that if the photo shoot must be completed within one day, 3 to 4 sets of clothes will be enough. This will give the photographer more time to shoot carefully instead of rushing to shoot. Get as much rest as possible to ensure a good mental state.

③Need to determine the makeup style

Because makeup takes a long time, in addition to the first set of base makeup, the subsequent styling is actually a change of hairstyle + lipstick color change + touch-up makeup . If you know how to apply makeup, you can communicate more with the photographer about your makeup style, and strive to show a different version of yourself through more than just lipstick color. In addition, you can ask more about how boys style and hairstyle are handled. Regarding the switching of makeup styles, you can also communicate with the merchant in the early stage, but you still have to pay attention here. The total time of makeup and taking photos is so much, it depends on what you value more.

④It is necessary to determine the number of negatives and the number of photos to be edited

Nowadays, it is generally said that all the negatives will be sent and XX photos will be edited. Regarding the delivery of all negatives, please ask when will they be given? Will they be given after the filming? Or when choosing movies? Or have you finished selecting the film? Or after the photo album is made? Ask in what form? Is it a network disk? Or should I bring my own USB flash drive for the exam or something else? Regarding the number of retouched photos, count how many photo albums you have, and how many pages a photo album usually has. Then you can roughly calculate or ask the store directly whether the retouched photos in the package can fill the album? What is the style of refinement? Is it batch or commercial retouching? If the number of intensive repairs exceeds the package, how will I be charged? This must be asked clearly and included in the contract. There is an invisible consumption point here, that is, when choosing a film, will anyone try to persuade you to refine it more? You must be sensible about this and remember your budget. Of course, if you have money, feel free to do it haha~ No matter what, just be happy. .

⑤Confirm the actual product

The package usually includes photo albums, enlargements, tables, and posters for wedding banquets. Determine the material, quantity, etc. Here’s a little idea. If you don’t particularly care about physical photo albums and enlargements, but value electronic photos more, you can secretly note down after viewing the enlarged size and other physical objects, and exchange some of the things you don’t care about much for more of the things you care about. of. For example, if you don’t have many requirements for physical photos, and you feel that the enlarged photo frame is a bit too big, you can propose to exchange for a smaller photo frame from a lower-level set, add 5 more photos, etc. Generally, the store will agree. This kind of resource replacement can be left until the final price negotiation.

⑥You need to confirm the expenses incurred for shooting on location

Shooting on location requires travel time, a car, tickets, etc. Ask in advance how the car and ticket fees will be paid to avoid the unhappy situation of assuming that it is included in the package but having to buy the tickets yourself when you arrive at the venue. You should ask in advance to avoid the unhappiness of being "invisibly consumed", and also mention the bouquet. In order to achieve the perfect photo effect, the store usually asks the couple to prepare flowers, or the studio prepares them for them. If the couple has their own ideas, they can communicate with the photographer about the shooting style in the early stage, prepare a few pictures of flowers, and then find a flower shop to arrange them. Yes, it costs dozens of dollars, it’s very beautiful. If you are concerned about the cost, you can use artificial flowers from the studio.

⑦Confirm the express delivery fee

The products made after the wedding photos are actually quite large. Just like the cost of shooting on location, ask in advance whether the merchant is included. If not, how much does it cost to deliver it by express delivery, or how to pick it up at your door.

The last step is to confirm all the details that can be thought of and the hidden consumption that can be eliminated.

Ask the merchant to list the places where expenses may be incurred on the day of the shooting to see if you can accept it. Don't let the events of the day affect your mood. Because your mood on the day of the shooting is very important, it affects whether you are beautiful or not, and whether you are tired or not, haha. Also, ask about the current details of film selection, whether you can control the main freedom of film selection yourself, and whose hand is the mouse, haha. Confirm the process of refining the pictures, whether to uniformly improve the details after the retouching, or to start refining a few pictures on a trial basis.

Finally, enter the bargaining stage

Everything we buy, we hope it will be cheaper. Therefore, it is best to have a budget in mind before bargaining. If the price cannot be changed, try to get more of what you want, such as refining photos, photo albums, or replacing items that you are not too fond of with some of what you want. If the price can be changed, then talk about the price you want first, and then fight for or replace it within the price. Don't be embarrassed, as long as the request is reasonable, you can talk about a package that meets your expectations.

Payment

Be sure to take photos first and then pay. Nowadays, studios usually complete the shooting on the same day and confirm the photos before paying the final payment. Avoid paying money and the quality will not be guaranteed.

The above is what you need to pay attention to when choosing a good wedding photography company in Chengdu. What follows is the preparation work before taking wedding photos, which I will talk about later.
