Frequently Asked Questions

1. How to choose a location for wedding photos? Domestic or foreign?

Because everyone has different preferences, some people like ethnic characteristics, some like island customs, etc. Domestic It is definitely cost-effective, and there are many places suitable for travel photography. For example, Xiamen is the most popular place in China for travel photography, including Gulangyu Island, botanical gardens, and beaches. The scenery is comprehensive and the consumption is not high. The scenery in Yunnan is beautiful, with a lot of natural scenery. If you want your wedding photos to be special, you can choose your favorite photographer and makeup artist to take them abroad, but the cost is really high. You have to cover their air tickets and accommodation, which is not something ordinary people can afford. If you have enough budget, I also recommend you to go to European countries, everyone wants a unique wedding photo. So you still have to follow your heart as to where to shoot. We had a rough budget in mind, looked at some popular shooting locations, and after considering all the actual conditions, we finally decided on the shooting location as [Sanya], with coconut groves, reefs, beaches and other small scenes.

2. How to choose a photography agency?

This is really the key point, choosing the wrong one will really ruin everything. I usually like to play short video software such as Weibo, Meipai, and Kuaishou. I searched all kinds of them and saw a lot of shooting videos, so I have a certain positioning on the shooting style. I consulted many travel photography companies, and the customer service is very enthusiastic. The case samples provided are all beautiful, but I just want to give you an important reminder here: "The samples provided by each company are beyond imagination, but the models are all beautiful and look good no matter how you take them, and some samples are purchased with money. It was not taken by them at all, so you must see real customer photos."

The effects taken by ordinary customers can better reflect the level of the photographer. The style must be liked by both of you, otherwise it will happen later after the shooting. If there are differences, there will be no way to modify it, and it won't be worthwhile to retake it, so don't be afraid of trouble, shop around, and make a safer choice by looking at photos taken by people you know, and you won't encounter the embarrassment of serious discrepancies between the actual pictures and the samples. I just saw a good photo taken by a friend, so I asked for my contact information and paid the deposit directly on Taobao. The store is quite large and the environment is very good.

3. Is it necessary to take wedding photos early?

Wedding photos should be taken at least 3-5 months before the wedding, because it takes at least a month for the photographer to schedule, refine, and produce. After selecting the photos, you may come up with some ideas yourself, and the retoucher will make further modifications, which also takes time, so you must take wedding photos early and early! We made an appointment with the photographer three months in advance, but after the photo shoot There was a Chinese New Year holiday in the middle, so the photos came out a little late. I regretted that it would have been earlier.

4. About air tickets

We flew directly from Hohhot to Sanya, which took nearly 6 hours, because in January, most northerners go to Sanya to spend the winter, and it is also the peak tourist season in Sanya. Therefore, the price of air tickets will be more expensive. We compared air ticket prices on Qunar.com, Tuniu, Fliggy, and Ctrip.com. The price we booked on Qunar.com was around 6,000 for a round trip for two people. (Some friends also recommended that we fly from Hohhot to Haikou, and then from Haikou to Sanya. This transfer is not much cheaper during the peak season, and it is too tiring). The day before departure, the flight was canceled the next day due to snowy weather. This unexpected situation was really hard to predict. I really collapsed when I saw the text message because this problem affected my subsequent itinerary. Everything has to change. The schedule of the photographer we booked was very full and it was super difficult to adjust the schedule. In the end, the ticket was changed and postponed for a day. I communicated with the customer service of the photography company again. The customer service was super nice and helped me find a way to make everything smoother. Solve it, so no matter what you plan, there will be some unexpected situations. Don't be anxious when encountering them. Solving the problems is the most important thing. If you want to go to Sanya with cheaper air tickets, it is best to go in June or July, which is the off-season, but the sun exposure is very serious.

5. About the hotel

Hotels are really important when traveling. For the convenience of shooting, the photography company arranged a hotel stay for us for 3 days and 2 nights, and there was a hotel pick-up service. So we didn’t book a hotel in advance, we just wanted to book a hotel locally after we finished shooting. There are really many hotels in Sanya. We booked a sea view room for a few nights. In fact, apart from sleeping at night, I don't spend much time in the room. It's so close to the sea, so I don't have to just look at it from a distance and not play with it. If the weather is cloudy, the closer you are to the sea, the more humid and uncomfortable it becomes. There are many family hotels in Sanya. It is best to stay in a newly built one as its hardware facilities are relatively better. When booking a hotel in Sanya through different channels, the price will vary. There are many accommodation apps. After comparing, you will be able to book an affordable and comfortable hotel.

Recommended - Sanya Conifer Hotel, there is a super cool infinity swimming pool on the roof. As far as the eye can see, there is only the swimming pool and the sea, and you can touch the sky with your hand. It is definitely a holy place for taking pictures. There is also a large swimming pool and a children's theme pool downstairs, and the water temperature is also very suitable.

6. About the driver’s license

Be sure to bring your driver’s license when you go out, because I have seen a lot of luxury cars, but self-driving is the most convenient. You can go wherever you want. We didn’t bring our driver’s license, but fortunately the Didi taxi app is very convenient. It’s much cheaper, and we don’t have to worry about the driver taking detours. We can also chat and stuff. Sometimes we can meet some high-end Didi taxis, which are very comfortable and feel good. Pretty good too.

7. Preparation

Imitation: After setting the shooting time, go online and look at those better wedding photos to see the styles and postures, but you can learn from them ( It’s because I didn’t watch these, and my body was too stiff, which caused many of my movements to be unnatural, and the results after the film didn’t reach my ideal state)

Underwear: Silicone bra patches I bought online If you buy it, I suggest you choose one with better viscosity. Just because my colleague took a wedding photo, I heard that the one she bought is good, so I asked for the link. I think it doesn’t need to be too expensive. We are going to shoot some underwater scenes, so we need to prepare several sets of underwear and underwear. We also need to pay attention to the choice of color, preferably seamless white or flesh-colored, because some wedding dresses are very thin and close-fitting, and cannot be repaired later.

Sun protection: Sun protection, sun protection and sun protection.

I say the important thing three times. The temperature in January is about 26°C during the day. It is still a bit cold in the morning and evening. It is recommended to bring a jacket, although the temperature is not that The sun is not very strong, but the ultraviolet rays are still strong and can easily turn dark. It is best to apply sunscreen every 2 hours. I bought Oriflame sunscreen before I left, and the effect is very good.

Shoes and socks: You must pay attention to the height coordination with your partner. If there is too much difference, you must wear high heels. Or bring a pair of thick-soled wedge heels. Wedding dresses are usually very long, which makes walking easier and makes you appear taller. I brought a few pairs of black and white socks, this one is for men.

Body hair: Remove hair from areas that will be exposed and more obvious when taking pictures (armpit hair, back, legs). After hair removal, use lotion to soothe the skin.

Nails: This depends on personal circumstances. If you want to do it, just make it a simple style, not too complicated, and the color should not be too dark, monochrome or light color, so it will look good with a wedding dress.

8. Selection of wedding dresses

We arrived at night, so the selection of wedding dresses was arranged for the next day to get rid of the fatigue of the journey and choose the ones in good condition that need to be photographed. Wedding dresses, (remember to wear seamless underwear and new

bra when trying on wedding dresses), there will be professional dress designers to help you choose, otherwise it will be really difficult to choose among many wedding dresses, so you must choose the right one to try on. Okay, don’t be too heavy, otherwise it will be really tiring, and you have to choose according to your own body shape. What others wear that looks good may not be suitable for you. Comfort and fit are the most important thing. Mine is a wedding dress package, which includes 5 sets of clothing for men and women. There are two sets of white wedding dresses, one set of red and one set of purple, and one set is underwater. Let me remind you again whether to choose a long tail. It should be easy to carry for outdoor shooting. The color of men's suits will match the wedding dress. Matching.

9. Makeup and styling

Wash your hair the night before the shooting, do not use conditioner, pay attention to rest, go to bed early, drink less water, otherwise your eyes will be swollen, apply A facial mask, so that the makeup on the next day will be more convenient, because the photography company is next to the hotel, which is very convenient. The makeup will start at 7 o'clock the next day. The stylist is a boy, but he is very serious about makeup. I like natural makeup. He After the makeup was done on me, I really felt so light and translucent. When I saw the makeup I liked, I felt very good. In fact, chat with the stylist more, tell him your favorite style, and give you a makeup you like. Face is very important, the photos taken this way will be better.

10. Essential equipment for a seaside vacation

Sanya really doesn’t have many places to play except the sea, but taking pictures at the seaside is definitely good. We brought a camera tripod to take photos. Take a group photo or video. Beach hats not only protect you from the sun, but also give you a lot of inspiration for concave shapes. Sunglasses are a must if you don’t want to be blind when taking pictures or if you don’t want to get crow’s feet. A long, brightly colored beach skirt. I bought it on Taobao as a couple's style. It's of good quality and looks good on you. When the sea breeze blows, it can take you to the sky. Beach shoes are the most convenient. You can wear them when walking on the beach and go into the sea. You can also take them off at any time, and they look good in photos. The waterproof mobile phone case is almost like a god. It protects the mobile phone from being "eroded" by sea water. Whether you are playing at the beach or snorkeling in the sea, you can take your mobile phone with you when traveling.

11. About food

For foodies, the important thing is not to play but to eat. The seafood is fresh, and the tropical fruits with sufficient sunlight are really delicious and so sweet that they are still delicious at night. There are various special snacks, such as Baoluo powder, coconut jelly, Qingbuliang, etc. There is one of those tricycles in Sanya Bay. They say they can take you to the food court for 3 yuan. When I arrived on the first day, I couldn’t find it anywhere. I almost took it, but Brother Hao stopped me. I later found out that the food court It’s a complete rip-off. It’s really a scam to eat seafood there. Don’t go there, and don’t take a tricycle. If you want to eat seafood, you can go to the No. 1 Market to buy seafood and find a store to process it, or you can have seafood buffet in the hotel, which is also good. Price

To know the price, you must first know the destination you want to go to for travel photography. Our pricing is generally based on the consumption level and market demand of the destination city.

For example, in popular travel photography destinations such as Sanya, Yunnan, and Xiamen in China, travel photography prices are relatively affordable because there are too many domestic photographers. Many photographers go to local locations to shoot, and the cost is calculated. It will be very low, and the competition in these places is relatively high, so the general price is around 5000-8000. I suggest you not choose the cheap ones. At least the shooting quality is no problem in the 5000-8000 price range.

Then Hong Kong and Macau will be more expensive, because the consumption level in Hong Kong and Macau is very high. When taking wedding photos, the cost of renting a car will be around 2,000, while in the mainland it will be around 1,000 at most, so traveling in Hong Kong and Macau The price of wedding photos is around 8,000-15,000, which is quite reasonable. For specific prices, you need to choose the appropriate package price based on your own needs.

I just talked about the prices of domestic travel wedding photos. Now let’s talk about the prices of overseas travel wedding photos.

We also set prices based on market competition and local consumption. Another factor is the difficulty of getting a visa. For example, countries such as Bali and Thailand are now visa-free. More and more people are taking wedding photos, so the price is much cheaper than before. The current market price is Around 9,000-15,000. Because local photographers in Bali and Thailand are opposed to domestic photographers shooting in the past, domestic photographers currently take photos secretly.
