Pre Wedding Photos : Techniques and Tricks

Today all image processing, including processing of digital images always use both image capture (digital camera), editing the photo editing software, and also the final printing using digital printing. Indeed, with digital technology can make ordinary photos into extraordinary end result is different from the initial image. However, to produce a good final result, as far as possible is to use a good input. So start shooting should be good quality, to minimize the burden of editing.

Issues such as lighting, brightness is in the editing process can be set, but it would be better to have processed the image brightness is good, so when editing no need to change the brightness too much.

Well then what do the same pre wedding photos? Yes of course the bride wants the perfect photo, it is necessary to put all these things carefully before pre wedding photos done.

Preparation

The first thing that needs to be determined is who or what studio is going to take a picture. Personal experience, our photographers use a freelance photographer, he was our day to book, (due to his own friends hehehe) we can convey in straightforward ide2, about the concept of image we want. With a freelance photographer we could get 600 more shots in one day (one day it just does).

The second thing to be prepared is a theme, like the theme of indoor or outdoor, natural, pop, sporty, oldies, retro, formal, or other themes to be appointed by both families. The selection of creative themes wherever possible, and allow it to do. Why is the theme to think about? Because the properties need to be prepared and wardrobe (costumes) to fit the theme. Let theme koboy, so prepare koboy eg hat or shirt and plaid scarf. or if the properties and the costumes are too difficult, so take a lighter themes with the properties and costumes are readily available. And most importantly, be ourselves. Suppose we impose the concept of rocker couple, but the bride and groom did not like the music, or the bride does not like basketball, but using the concept of sportiness with a basketball, it will seem less animated and enforced.

The third thing is the location of the photo. Location of the photo we’ve done with the three themes in the five sampling sites, and the distance between the locations are pretty far apart from each other. So it needs to be set also schedule and routes from one location to another, so efficient, and if you take non-studio outdoor location, expect sunny weather and so the picture is good. To make up, especially for women, we use the skills themselves, so the budget for the make-up bias is pressed.

Execution

Perispan well if it is ripe, shooting executions carried out as planned, do not get bored easily keep the spirit and do not look tired. Maybe when capturing images in the studio, once or twice a snap finish. Different if the narcissistic partner, and in the photo to hundreds of shots (hehehe).

Editing

Well once again need to be adjusted by editing the theme, for example sporty photo editing existing templates do not go naturalnya. So it needs to convey the concept to fit the person doing the editing. If personal experience some editing done by the photographer, and some editing is done for oneself, at least in the work itself although the standard would create tremendous inner satisfaction.

Elements that can be highlighted

Anecdotally, there are several things to be unique in a photograph, prewedding particular. Namely the location, concept, and expression. Now it can all be set in accordance with the wishes and the available budget. For example the location, there are a couple to take the location in Bali, Lombok or even a thousand islands. Indeed, the result depends on the skills the photographer, but a good location is to support the value of a photograph. But wait, it is necessary allocation of funds large enough to reach the location of the special kind. But do not worry about the location of which can still be used to produce outstanding image. Let take a landmark location in the local area, or if you are less steady with location elements, other elements can be highlighted.

Elements of the concept instance, if we highlight the key elements of the concept is more focus on the costumes, properties and editing. So the budget is super duper expensive to get to the location that most could well be suppressed. Suppose that the concept of retro, casual dress is quite a neat, pretty pictures and location gedung2 between skyscrapers and a bit extreme angle shooting. Certainly quite unique also for display at the wedding reception. Or if it still seems complicated, the other elements that can be highlighted is the expression.

Elements of expression is somewhat difficult for people who have no acting talent or shy. It should be animating and pretend for a few seconds when shooting. People who get bored easily be difficult to remove these elements. Expression of cheerful, laugh, happy, and whatever color the value of the image. And elements of this expression is actually the most important. Element locations and concepts can be polished with a little editing, for example in the photo studio, in the temple image in certain locations, polished editing a particular concept. But editing will not be able to alter the expression of the couple. You could say it is almost impossible, although it may be done with the editing capabilities are amazing and of course it is not natural anymore. I’ve even seen pictures preweding, located only in the living room, semi-formal dress costumes only, and the picture was really good because her partner expressions that look so natural. Certainly such photos do not need a big budget to go to the location of special or expensive costumes.
