Pre-wedding 與 Wedding Day 攝影之選擇

sk 經過一輪 research 之後，我地決定搵 freelancer 拍 Pre-wedding 同 Big Day 既照片。其實最主要考慮以下幾點。第一我地可以 ensure 拍出黎既照片一定係我地鍾意既 style、第二就係我地比較貪心，想要多 d 原相、第三 freelancer 通常都比較有 heart 冇咁公式化。

當我地決定左搵 freelancer 之後，S 就係咁做 research。因為 k 其實對婚攝冇咩概念，同埋冇咩要求。(其實好高要求就真) 咁 s 就開始係 Yahoo!Blog、Facebook 開始搵一 d 人地 recommend 既 freelancer。大多 freelancer 都會將佢地既作品 upload 上 Facebook 同佢地自己既 blog。如果你冇咩頭緒既話，建議可以係 Yahoo!Blog search 下其他新人既 comment，又或者可以係 Facebook add D 名氣比較大既 photographer 先 (i.e. simon.the.photo , CM Leung , photobyben , Dennis Mok , DM)。因為佢地通常都會互相 add 一 d 行家，你可以再係入便慢慢搵下。通常你睇下睇下就會知道自己想點架啦，至於我地呢？就係篩選過程入便我地發現左我地比較喜歡一 d 粉色 cinema-tone 既相

經過一輪篩選後，我地就開始約心儀既 freelancer 出黎 interview。好快就 confirm 左 BillyONAIR 幫我地拍 Pre-wedding。

至於 Big Day，我地就好著重 snapshot photographer 既相。經過 interview 後， sk 就係 Terry Lo 同 Hyvis Tong 之間掙扎。因為兩位 photographer 既相我地都好鍾意，不過最後因為一個原因就用左 Hyvis la。(原因就唔講啦)

What's next? 梗係減肥啦！ (不過冇咩進展 :P)

選擇困難症之 Pre-wedding & Wedding Day 攝影

呢一、兩個月個 Blog 好似荒廢左咁，我地冇偷懶架，只不過我地為左 Pre-wedding 同 Wedding Day 既攝影煩惱緊。其實我地去過三、四次 Wedding Expo，都一定會走去睇下婚攝既 booth，望下有冇岩心水既公司。其實擺 expo 既婚攝公司大致上有兩種。

第一種係較傳統既婚攝公司，提供一條龍既服務。由攝影師、婚紗、晚裝、禮服、化妝、外景交通到 logo 設計都可以安排晒。Package 可以由數千至數萬蚊不等，視乎你攝影既地方 (韓國? 麗江? 輕井澤? London? Prague?)，要求既服務 (Childhood Video? MV? Making Of? Big Day 2P2V? Same day Edit? Photo Slideshow? 用單反拍 Video? 新娘房現場直播?)，真係五花百門。但傳統既婚攝公司既相大都比較 standard，變化唔多。因為佢地都係團隊合作形式為主，無論 Pre-Wedding 同 Big Day snapshot 既攝影都冇咩個人風格，以穩陣行先。相反黎講質素較穩定。但係留意一點，package 大多只包 30-50 張相，服裝又會分 Grading。另外要留意交通費、食飯費、安瓶費用、攝影時間、外拍景點數目既收費。

另一種就係 Freelancer，通常都係有個人風格既攝影師，以 one man band 形式接 job (當然都會有自己既班底，通常最少有一個 assistant至 2P2V 都可提供)。收費就由一萬至幾萬不等，但通常都唔包化妝、set 頭同交通。不過 Freelancer 交既相、執既相會較多，同埋相片質素較有保證。因為大多 Freelancer 都係靠口碑，同埋一定係佢自己負責返影相同執相。再者攝影師既風格唔岩你，你都唔會選擇佢啦。

以下係一 D 較常問的問題：

Wedding Photo Q&A

Logo 製作 2

由於呢排冇咩進度既關係，所以冇點寫 blog。不過就整左個新 logo，幾 cute 既，識 s 既人就知道點解個 logo 會係咁既樣。不過呢個 logo 應該只會用係一 d handmade 既 item 上，print out同相上面用既就仲度緊。

可惜我係兔仔座

影相仔

個 blog 靜左一排我地搞緊咩呢？都係搞緊 DIY 野啦。

一直以來我都想用一張張既相片去做 table number。咁 s 為左成全我，我地就兩個傻佬借齊晒單反、腳架週圍去試影下啦。

我地發現原來 DIY 影相都幾消耗時間，要 set 好部機既角度/距離啦，試位啦，又要試下單反 d setting。咁影完同一個位又要即刻 review，背景/表情/動作有咩問題就即刻影過。我地今次好彩有借埋 remote，如果唔係用既時間就更多。

經過幾日既試驗之後，得出以下既經驗，如果你又諗住 DIY 可以睇下：

1. 部單反最好有得反 mon，自拍時可以睇到自己既 position/樣
2. 腳架最好用碳纖，因為真係好鬼重
3. 好天影相，就比較容易有靚相
4. 同一日最好只去兩度地方，個日你走黎走去真係會好勀，影相就自然唔好睇
5. 係屋企構思定 d posts，咁影既時候就快好多
6. 最後都係 crop 相， tune 下色，加上後期製作就搞點

不過由於小弟唔熟單反既緣故，發現 Cannon S95 拍出黎 d 相仲靚!!!!!! 令我在此呼籲，如果你有部單反擺左係屋企成年冇用過既話，可唔可以借俾小弟一個夏天呢？

Vera Wang's Rules for Saying 'I Do'

s 的朋友介紹的，揀婚紗前可以睇下 Vera Wang 既忠告

-------------------------------------------------------

Vera Wang’s design portfolio spans far and wide into 40-plus categories, but her reputation as the go-to wedding gown designer is far from waning.

There’s no question she knows what works fashionwise for that trek down the aisle, and here are Wang’s Top Ten Wedding Day Dos.

1. “Feeling comfortable in your appearance is incredibly important. If you feel comfortable with the way you look, you will radiate the most confidence.”


2. “Determine what kind of wedding you are having. The volume, silhouette, proportions, amount of adornment, tailoring and other elements of the dress should have a lot to do with not only where you have your wedding, but what time of day it is being held and what the temperature is. [The dress is] not only about how it looks on your body.”


3. “It’s really important to see the whole look — the dress, the headpiece, the size of the bouquet and the shoes. I would even go so far as to include the makeup. A lot of girls put a tremendous amount of effort into the dress, but they don’t give a lot of thought to the headpiece, tiara, barrettes or other accessories. Very often they are an afterthought.”


4. Go easy on the bouquet. Bouquets that are too large or too loud will detract from the dress.”


5. “Hem lengths are very key. You have to make sure you don’t see the shoes. The dress should definitely be floating above in the front. If it is too long in front, it’s treacherous. In order to make a wedding a success, the bride should not have to lift the dress. Someone tripped in my most recent show. It can be a particularly long walk down the aisle.”


6. “Makeup is another thing to think about. I’m not crazy about strong red lipstick with a white dress. If you never wear blue eyeshadow or purple eyeshadow or glitter, why wear it on your wedding day? You want to avoid any makeup that makes you look disguised or that makes you no longer look like yourself. That is huge. It should be the same with the hair. Sometimes stylists can get too elaborate with hair styles and colors. Wearing [hair] accessories and [bobby] pins are very much about editing.”


7. “I have to say I prefer a shoe on the quieter side whether it is a fashion shoe (though it doesn’t have to be) or something with a bit of a wedding feeling. I like a shoe with a tapered toe box. I’m not someone who is into a full-on Swarovski-covered glittery shoe. I don’t think you want that much attention. A little kitten heel is nice if you are marrying someone shorter than you, or a platform if you are marrying someone taller.”


8. “It is just as important to have black-and-white photography done as it is to have color. Black and white is chic and timeless.”


9. “Step into your dress whether it is large or narrow. There are things no one can compensate for. I once had a bride get red lipstick on the front of her dress when she pulled it on over her head. Keep anyone with colorful drinks, beverages or makeup away from you.”


10. “Savor the moment. There’s a tendency when people get married to rush down the aisle as soon as the ceremony has ended. I’m not sure if it’s relief or what. But you have to remember the guests spend most of the time looking at your back during the service. So much work goes into planning. Take your time when walking back down the aisle. Let them see the dress.”

手花idea 1

復活有時間時便想想手花應怎樣制作。(無錯!我地係未做body check 未book prewedding 未睇衫未試妝就試做decoration)

從網上看到下面的手花看似不錯，便隨便找塊爛布試做一下。(由於爛布是深色，sorry detail 位不太能看到）先放完成圖（不喜者可skip)。

準備材料:圓規（用來畫圓的，夠堅可不用）、爛布一塊、剪刀（要夠利最好不會剪到爛晒）、針線、glue gun及紙樣。（sorry 沒有拍照）

先用圓規畫上一大一細圓型，然後剪出。大小隨自己的喜好。大圈會是花的size而小圈是花的第二層。上面的花大圈是2.7cm而小圈是2cm。

大圈和花的比例

畫好紙樣後，用布剪出６個大圈及６個小圈。

之後，在每個圈上往中間剪一刀(不用太正中也可）。注意：小圈留一個不要剪後用。

開始制作花瓣。由大圈開始。由剪出的邊開始 ，將圓圈左右對摺。

剪好後用針線 縫好底部以免彈出。

拿沒有剪的小圈用來做花的底部。將六個大圈貼到花底（由於我懶得找glue gun，我用了縫的）花的底層完成，花型已出。

其實可以花底可剪細一點(好爛的底部）

小圈也以同樣做法，再以glue gun貼到第二層。（如覺得不夠，可多剪幾個小圈）

注意最後花蕊亦是其中一個小圈，如想效果更好，花蕊的小圈要摺得比較不均勻便可。

最後用glue gun貼上花蕊到正中便可（攤開兩邊）。

P.S.不過未諗到個底應該用咩去襯托．．．．．待續。

Pom Pom DIY 2

由於隻橙色太橙既關係，完成品同想象圖差好遠...............

想象圖

製成品．．．．七彩龍珠

Anyway呢隻色唔太岩個場，所以唔會再試呢個組合啦！至於製作方法都係同上次差唔多(請參考 Pom Pom DIY 1)。今次用左 6" 既 foam ball，29個 tissue pom。實物 10" 大，遠睇都幾靚 (唔計顏色)，不過近睇唔 ok。建議用 3-5" 既 foam ball 做 pom pom 較佳。
