Any service related to Wedding, from wedding photo shoots, wedding dresses and makeup styling, to bouquet invitations and candy boxes,
each item can be crowned:
“This is the only important ceremony in my life, I want… “.
The picture that has been sketched only appears in the mind of the newcomer, and
if you seek to achieve your wish in the objective world,
it is a process that requires full communication, communication, and a clear heart.
Whether it’s a perfect copy or an unexpected surprise that isn’t in the script is a matter
of preference.
Paris-based photographer Saori once again brings a great blog post worth sharing.

The photo, in fact, is a difficult product
to describe, it is not like a coffee cup in front of you, touch the feel to see the color, you can decide to buy it if you like it.
Photographs cannot be judged in this way.
Even if you really want to take a picture,
you don’t know the result until it’s all done.

When you see a good photo on Instagram or Pinterest,
you will also have the idea
of “I want to take a photo like that”, but it is not known whether the result will actually be achieved until the shooting is completed.
If you think about it, it really takes courage to spend money on something you don’t know about.
Like a wedding or a trip, it’s one of those uncertain commodities …
If you’re taking wedding photos, how you let the photographer know about yourself is the key to success.

One way to do this is to share reference photos in advance.
Sending in photos of your favorite style is the best way to convey your personal preferences.
The style and feeling that the two like can be known by looking at the reference photos.
Although the guests who choose La-vie photography basically prefer a natural and interactive photo style,
they are also divided into those who like cute and fresh, traditional and formal, or cool and cool.
Reference photos can be less than 10 photos, not too much!!
Once there are too many photos, the style will be disorganized, and
the result will be confusing what you like…

There is also a way
to find out what they like, from the style of wedding dress and shoes they have chosen, to the arrangement
of their travel itinerary, and the feedback from previous surveys.
The lifestyle of the two of them, what kind of travel content they choose, and what kind of wedding dress they choose to shoot
Before they meet, they get to know the two through data and build a general impression in their minds.

After meeting that day, we talked about a lot of topics!
The south and the north of the world, chatting about the world, all kinds of digging roots
… Sounds a little scary, laugh
, but this is an important way
to get to know the two newcomers, and by getting to know the newcomers more, the content of the shoot will also change.

For example, if you know that the two are not going to have a wedding, then arrange for them to shoot
in the church (of course, there will be cases where the church cannot be filmed),
and from the story of the two people to the story of their acquaintance, to career-related things,
I hope to take as many special memories as possible for the two of them.

Another idea is to get the idea
from the guests who took it before, that is: “Decide the theme”,
the theme set by the group of guests at that time was “Mature Paris”,
their wedding was also planned around the theme,
simply according to the reference image to shoot, it is easy to fall into the picture
of the reference photo, it is difficult for the photographer to create a new sense of picture,
but the text language can trigger infinite imagination!

The last thing I recommend is to make a long list of people who want to take pictures,
because there are so many requirements that just realizing these photographers is exhausting,
so you miss out on the special images that belong to the two of you on that day, place, and moment.

In other words, this set of photos that everyone is looking at is completely given to me by the guests for free play.
The only reply before the shoot was
“We are not usually good at taking pictures, just like to be natural!” ”
I left it to me to judge the shooting route and arrangement, and I was able to shoot
a lot of satisfying results with a high
degree of freedom from the hotel where I stayed, the weather conditions, and the surrounding environmental conditions
.
For example, on the opposite side of the sunset, I caught the fleeting Pink Sky!

In other words, the Paris store has finally increased to 4 photographers, and
opened a naming system

for guests to choose the photographer they like to shoot. ”
In this way, the guests who have named the photographer can rest assured that they can leave it to us and take pictures with their own distinctive style.
Don’t think about the photographer’s popularity or skills
, as long as you like his work, choose him to shoot.
This is the best way to realize the photos that the two of them want!
(It turned out to be marketing content.) laughs )
