When I first chose a photographer, I had a concept in my mind, that is, I had an idea of what style I wanted, so it was relatively easy to choose (American countryside and Japan are my favorite routes). I need to capture the visual sense, especially the wedding scene. I don't want too many posing photos, including my own personal photos, and I have a general idea of what each group should look like.
Brides who are not sure what they like can really look at foreign websites more, because their ideas about framing and tone are much higher than those in China. Once they have an idea, it is really much more convenient to communicate with photographers with their ideas! ! !
The first time I saw the photo of my photographer niki (Weibo: Niki Foto), I decided that she was what I wanted. After seeing me, I really didn't let me down. Photos, like her, have personality and details. Watching the previous film strengthened my determination to choose her.
I said a lot of nonsense. Now let's talk about the main points of communication with photographers. I think many brides who control details must be meticulous when preparing. I have prepared a lot of things, whether it is my own accessories or interaction with bridesmaids, as well as gifts for my mother or dressing gowns or personal things!
More importantly, the flowers and details of the wedding scene. If these carefully prepared things were not communicated with the photographer in the early stage and not photographed, it would be too late to really regret it, so! Knock on the blackboard! ! ! ! Be sure to list a detail, everything! The details you want to shoot! Everything should be written down, even the moment of exchanging love cards! As long as what you want must be listed, let the photographer know clearly what you want! ! ! !
More importantly, give the photographer some styles you usually like (these pictures you like don't have to be related to the wedding, and the key point of giving photos is to let them know what style you like and what route, including tone and feeling, is the most important thing), so that the photographer can get a general idea of your preferences, and the tone will be unified with your style when retouching later (of course, each photographer has his own unique tone and style, so when choosing, he needs to choose something closer to his own style, so).
Then meet and talk about your process and the style of each group of photos you want to present. I think the communication in the early stage is super important, so that everyone can get to know each other better and take photos on the wedding day will be smoother!
Most girls will have an overall plan or plan. You can give them everything in this area, including the production of ppt and your ideas, but the bride herself must also participate. When communicating, try to sit together and find an overall plan that suits her. It is also the key to the whole wedding! I hope you can all have a wedding that will satisfy you. If you haven't found a reliable planning coordination, I can also give you advice ~
I hope it helps you.
