Getting married is a life-long event, so every girl wants to be beautiful when taking wedding photos, so many girls think that the interior of wedding photos is not as good as the exterior, so they want to arrange wedding photos while traveling, so that the photos are beautiful and they can also go to play. It is also very cost-effective. Frequently asked questions
1. How to choose a wedding photo location? Domestic or foreign?
Because everyone has different preferences, some people like ethnic characteristics, others like island customs, etc. In China, it is definitely more cost-effective, and there are many places suitable for traveling. Xiamen, for example, is the place with the most choice of travel photography in China. Gulangyu Island, Botanical Garden and Beach have comprehensive scenery and low consumption. Yunnan has beautiful scenery and many natural scenery. If you want a special wedding photo, you can choose your favorite photographer and makeup artist to take it abroad, but the cost is really high. It is not acceptable for ordinary people to cover their air tickets and accommodation. If you have enough budget, I also recommend you to go to European countries. Everyone wants a unique wedding photo. So where to shoot, you still have to follow your heart. We had a rough budget in mind, looked at some popular shooting locations, and finally decided to shoot in [Sanya], with coconut groves, rocks, beaches and other small scenes.
2. how to choose a photography agency?
this is really the key point, and the wrong choice really ruins everything. I usually like to play short video software such as Weibo, Mei Pai and Aauto Quicker. I searched all kinds of videos and saw many videos, so I have a certain positioning for the shooting style. I consulted many travel companies, and the customer service was very enthusiastic. The sample cases provided were beautiful. I just want to give you an important reminder here: "The samples provided by each company are beyond imagination, but the models are beautiful and look good no matter how they are shot. Some samples are bought with money. They didn't shoot it themselves at all, so we must watch the real guest film.
The effect of ordinary guests' shooting can better reflect the photographer's level, and you must both like the style, otherwise there will be differences in the later stage of shooting, so there will be no way to modify it, and it is not worthwhile to shoot it again, so don't be afraid of trouble, shop around, and choose a safer one by looking at people you know around, and you won't encounter the embarrassment that the real picture is seriously inconsistent with the sample. I just felt good when I saw a friend taking a photo, so I asked for contact information. Taobao paid the deposit directly, and the store was quite large and the environment was very good.
3. Do we have to take wedding photos early?
The wedding photos should be taken at least 3-5 months before the wedding, because it takes at least one month for the photographer to gear up, fine-tune and make the photos. After selecting the photos, you may put forward some ideas yourself, and the retoucher will make further revisions, which will also take time, so it is necessary to take the wedding photos early! We made an appointment with the photographer three months in advance, but there was a Chinese New Year holiday in the middle after the filming, so the photo came out a little late, so I regretted it earlier.
4. About air tickets
We flew directly from Hohhot to Sanya for nearly 6 hours, because in January, most northerners went to Sanya for the winter, which is also the peak tourist season in Sanya, so the price of air tickets will be more expensive. We made a comparison on the ticket prices of which network to go to, Tuniu, Feizhu and Ctrip. We decided which network to go to, and the round trip for two people was about 6,. Some friends recommended that we fly from Hohhot to Haikou, and then go to Sanya from Haikou, which is not much cheaper and too tiring in the peak season. On the day before departure, the flight was cancelled the next day because of the snowy weather. This unexpected situation was really hard to predict. I really collapsed when I saw the text message. Because of this problem, my subsequent itinerary had to be changed. The photographer we reserved was very full, and it was extremely difficult to adjust the schedule. Finally, the ticket was changed, which was postponed for one day, and I communicated with the customer service of the photography company. The customer service was super nice. Help me find a way to make it smooth again. If you want to get a cheaper ticket to Sanya, it's better to be in June and July, which will be the off-season, but one thing is that the sun exposure is very serious.
5. About the hotel
It is really important to travel to the hotel. For the convenience of shooting, the photography company arranged a hotel for us for three days and two nights, and there was a pick-up service at the hotel, so we didn't book the hotel in advance, just wanted to book the hotel directly in the local area after shooting. There are really many hotels in Sanya. We booked a sea view room for several nights. In fact, except sleeping at night, I don't have much time to stay in my room every day. It's so close to the sea, so I don't have to look at it from a distance without being ridiculous. If the weather is cloudy, the closer to the sea, the wetter it is, which is very uncomfortable. There are many family hotels in Sanya, so it is best to stay in the newly completed ones, which have relatively good hardware facilities. Book Sanya hotels through different channels, and the prices will be different. Many accommodation apps will be booked into affordable and comfortable hotels after many comparisons.
Recommended-Sanya Kangnian Hotel, there is a cool infinity pool on the roof. As far as you can see, there is only the swimming pool and the sea, and you can reach out and touch the sky. It is definitely a holy place to take pictures. There is also a large swimming pool and a children's playground theme swimming pool downstairs, and the water temperature is also very suitable.
6. About the driver's license
When you go out, you must bring your driver's license, because when you see a lot of cars, it's most convenient to drive by yourself. We can go wherever we want. Fortunately, it's convenient to have Didi taxi software, which is much cheaper. We are not afraid of drivers detours, and we can chat and sometimes meet some high-end Didi taxis, which is very comfortable and feels quite good.
7. Preparation
Imitation: After the shooting time is set, look at the better wedding photos on the Internet to see the shape and posture inside, but learn from them (I just didn't look at them, and my body was too stiff, which led to many unnatural actions and the film didn't reach my ideal state)
Underwear: I bought silicone chest stickers online, so I suggest choosing viscosity. We need to take some underwater photos, so we need to prepare more sets of underwear, and we should also pay attention to the choice of colors, preferably seamless white or flesh-colored, because some wedding dresses are very thin and close-fitting, and they can't be repaired later.
Sunscreen: Sunscreen Sunscreen
The important thing is to say three times. In January, the temperature is around 26℃ during the day, and it is still a little cold in the morning and evening. It is recommended to take a coat. Although the temperature is not so high, it looks like the sun is not very strong, but the ultraviolet rays are still strong and it is easy to turn black. It is best to apply sunscreen every two hours. Before I leave, I bought Orillian's sunscreen, and the effect is very good.
shoes and socks: be sure to coordinate with the height of the other half. If there is too much difference, you must bring high heels. Or bring a pair of thick-soled wedge shoes. Wedding dresses are usually very long, which makes walking easier and makes people taller. I brought some pairs of black and white socks. This one is for men.
body hair: you should remove the hair that will be exposed and obvious when taking pictures (armpit hair, back and legs), and then use lotion to soothe your skin.
Nail: It depends on personal situation. If you want to make it, you can make it in a simple style, not too complicated, not too dark in color, monochrome or light in color, which will also look good with the wedding dress.
8. Choice of wedding dress
We arrived in the evening, so the wedding dress trial was arranged for the next day. To get rid of the fatigue of the journey, we can choose the wedding dress that needs to be photographed in good condition. (Remember to wear seamless underwear and new
bra when trying on the wedding dress) A professional dress designer will help you choose, otherwise there will be difficulties in choosing in many wedding dresses, so we must choose and try it well, not too heavy. What others wear is not necessarily suitable for you, but comfort is the most important thing. Mine is a wedding package, which contains five sets of clothes for men and women, two sets of white wedding dresses, one set of red and one set of purple, and one set is underwater. Remind everyone again, whether to choose long tail or not, it is still convenient to take outside shots, and the color matching of men's suits will match with wedding dresses.
9. Makeup styling
Wash your hair the night before shooting, don't use conditioner, pay attention to rest, go to bed early, drink less water, or your eyes will be swollen, and put on a mask, so that your makeup will be more docile the next day, because the photography company is next to the hotel, which is quite convenient. The stylist is a boy, but the makeup is super serious, and I like natural makeup. I'm in a good mood, too. In fact, it's very important to chat with the stylist more, tell him your favorite style, and draw a makeup face for you, so that the photos will be better.
1. Necessary equipment for seaside holiday
There are really not many places to play in Sanya except the sea, but it is absolutely good to take pictures at the seaside. We brought a camera+tripod to take photos or record videos. The beach hat not only shields the sun, but also gives you a lot of inspiration for concave modeling. Sunglasses, if you don't want to take pictures and become blind, you must wear them if you don't want crow's feet. A long beach skirt with bright colors, which I bought from Taobao, is of good quality and looks good to wear. When the sea breeze blows, it can go to heaven. Beach shoes are the most convenient. You can wear them into the sea when you walk on the beach, or you can take them off at any time, and the photos look good. The waterproof case of mobile phone is almost a god-like existence, which protects the mobile phone from being "eroded" by the sea. No matter playing at the seaside or snorkeling in the sea, you can take your mobile phone with you to travel.
11. About food
For foodies, it is important not to play but to eat. The seafood is fresh, and the fruits with sufficient tropical light are really delicious and sweet. In the evening, there are all kinds of special snacks, such as carrot powder, coconut jelly, refreshing and cooling. There will be that kind of tricycle in Sanya Bay. It is said that 3 yuan can take you to the food court. On the first day, you can't find it anywhere. You almost went to sit there, so that Brother Hao stopped me. Later, I learned that the food court is a complete rip-off. Eating seafood there is really a pit. Don't go there and don't take a tricycle. If you want to eat seafood, it is also good to go to the first market to buy seafood and find a shop to process it, or to eat seafood in a hotel for self-help. Price
To know the price, you must first know the destination you want to travel to. Our pricing is generally based on the consumption level and market demand of the destination city.
For example, in the popular tourist destinations in China, such as Sanya and Xiamen, Yunnan, the tourist prices are more affordable, because there are too many photographers in China, and many photographers go to local stations to shoot, so the cost will be very low, and these places are more competitive, so the general prices are around 5,-8,. I suggest that you don't choose the cheap ones. At least the price of 5,-8, is no problem in shooting quality.
then those in hong kong and Macao will be more expensive, because the consumption level in hong kong and Macao is very high, and the car rental fee for wedding photos is about 2, yuan, while that in the mainland is about 1, yuan at most, so the price of wedding photos taken by Hong Kong and Macao tourists is about 8,-15, yuan, which is reasonable. The specific price needs to choose the right package price according to your own needs.
Just now, I talked about the price of wedding photos taken by domestic tourists. Let's talk about the price of wedding photos taken by overseas tourists.
We also set the price according to market competition and local consumption. Another factor is the difficulty of visas. For example, in Bali and Thailand, visas are exempted now, and more and more people are taking wedding photos, so the price is much cheaper than before. At present, the market price is around 9,-15,.
The domestic budget for traveling and shooting is 1,-2,.
The budget for Bali and Thailand is around 2,.
The budget for Europe is about 5,.
The budget for Maldives is 5,.
