2023年婚纱照拍照:前一周/前一天/当天需要注意和准备的小贴士(纯干货分享!)

🗓拍照前一周:

1)女生做好美甲(肉粉色类/透明感)

2)女生染好头发(栗色/茶棕色类)

3)男生剪好头发 (两边不遮挡耳朵),如果白头发比较多,建议染一下。

4)准备好所有的服装和鞋子,拍摄道具。

📝拍照前一天:

1)前天晚上不要喝太多水(以防水肿),千万不要喝酒(否则第二天眼神会醉醺醺[笑哭R])

2)男生指甲剪干净,齐边,尽量去除倒刺,睡前涂抹手霜。

3)女生也要注意涂抹手霜和身体乳。

4)洗澡时去除腋毛,手毛,人中汗毛,如果拍露腿的裙子,也需要把腿毛处理好哦。

5)如果第二天比较早(5-8点)做造型,建议提前一晚洗干净吹干。如果第二天9点后做造型,请早上出门前洗干净吹干。(不要涂抹精油等护发产品)

6)一起睡前敷个面膜,涂抹润唇膏(防止嘴皮干裂)

7)尽量早睡,保证充足睡眠!

8)提前将戒指,皮鞋/婚鞋等擦干净。

9)熨烫好所有服装(包括白衬衫,西装,婚纱,头纱等)

📝拍照当天出发前:

男生🤵‍♂️ 1)上午洗干净头发吹干,保持头发清爽,不油腻

2)保持牙齿干净

3)胡须剃干净 (尤其是两腮容易被忽略,可以请新娘帮忙检查)

4)穿好黑色长袜

5)准备好正反双色皮带(黑色/卡其色)

6)准备领结+方巾

7)准备内增高垫(optional)

8)比较习惯自己戴眼镜的样子的新郎,可以准备一双无镜片眼镜框(可防止拍照时镜片反光,或者选择的不戴,临时摘下眼镜。 )

10)耳朵里(会出镜的部分)的不明物体去除干净

女生👰‍♀️

1)穿好nubra + 裸色内裤

2)如有需要,可以备一条裸色收腰打底裤

3)自然款隐形眼镜(optional)

4)准备舒服的鞋子/松糕鞋(一般不会全程穿高跟鞋/坡跟鞋,只有露脚的时候才临时换高跟鞋)

5)最好出门吃点东西(随身备一点能量棒和糖果,不要带巧克力,以免牙齿被沾上巧克力) 6)服装最好用衣架挂在车后座的把手,切勿揉成一团塞进包里。

7)如果物品比较零碎,建议准备一个行李箱,将所有物品集中,拍摄时方便移动。

8)如果没有化妆师跟妆的情况,最好自备唇膏和粉扑,以免拍照过程,唇膏和脸上的粉被蹭掉,可以及时补妆。

这些都是多年总结的经验分享,希望能帮到各位备婚的新人朋友!

旧金山市政厅仪式ceremony该注意些什么?专业摄影师教你如何避开一些雷区~

作为一生一次极其重要而神圣的ceremony,每位新人都渴望能够牵着心爱的ta的手,步入幸福的婚姻殿堂,顺便留下一组不留遗憾的结婚美照。作为湾区的一名专业婚礼摄影师,我总结了过去多年拍过的新人中比较容易犯的小mistakes,提供了一些good examples 和bad examples和注意事项,希望可以帮到更多的新人朋友。😊

1.新郎和新娘应该怎么站?

首先,新人的站法非常重要,因为这个贯穿了整个ceremony的拍摄效果。如果Vivi是您的摄影师,首先,请女生最好站在靠近电梯的一侧(因为摄影师的灯光是照顾女生而提前设置好的,背对着电梯,男生面对着电梯一侧。

站好后,迅速整理好新娘的裙摆,如果新娘的裙摆比较大,请整理好后,整个ceremony避免动作太大,裙摆会乱,影响出片效果。

图1 正确演示

2. 两个人站的距离最好不要太远

上面的图1的距离是比较合适的,避免像以下图2和图3那样,两个人站的太远。

图2 错误演示

图3 错误演示

(因为站的太远,新娘的手会绷得很直。显得身体动作比较僵硬)

3. 牵手的时候,最好是男生的手主动托起女生的手

图4 正确演示 女生主动握住男生手,不算错误演示,但不是最理想^^;;

4.   交换戒指的时候 

1)注意戴戒指动作要慢,因为ceremony的那个地方,一般光线偏暗,很多摄影师都需要打灯补光,闪光灯需要recycle的时间,如果太快带进去,可能导致有些画面,闪光灯还没亮,照片黑掉。

2)注意手指尽量避免挡住对方的戒指。

图5 错误演示

正确的作法:最好是拇指和食指端起戒指的时候,将戒指方向对着镜头。

图6 正确演示

3)左手托住对方的手的时候,注意将对方的中指和无名指放在一起,避免中指对着对方。用右手给对方戴戒指。 将戒指戴在对方的左手无名指上。

图7 正确演示

 *避免中指对着对方

4)注意对方的求婚戒指钻石在关节的中间,两边等距,最好是和关节线平行,慢慢带进去,尽量不要歪向一侧。

图6 错误演示 戒指没有和关节平行 正确演示 戒指的两等距,两个戒指对着镜头,清晰可见

5. 最后,牧师会宣布你们是合法夫妻,并说你们可以亲亲,注意,亲亲的时候,两个人互相拥抱之后,最好都闭上眼睛,不要嘟嘴或者接吻的过于深入(如舌吻等。。。)

虽然是个短短几分钟的ceremony,却是人生中极其重要的一个瞬间。大家都是第一次结婚,难免会紧张和缺乏经验,这都非常正常!No worries,希望这篇日志可以帮大家减少失误,顺利收获不留遗憾的婚礼照片。✌️

San Francisco Engagement Photographer: Pier 7 & Crissy field(Golden gate bridge)

I have had the honor to take Kelly and Jim's engagement photos at Pier 7, San Francisco. Kelly teaches at the University that I graduated from. I had a fun and productive day together with the lovely couple. The weather was good and I especially like the sunlight hitting on the bride’s hair.

Outdoor photography during the pandemic is not easy. With full preparation and communication, we pulled it off successfully. I am glad that they love the outcome. And I cannot wait to capture their wedding day in the upcoming August at St. Vincent de Paul Church.
