Re: bridal photosession
If that's what you want. Personally I'd want more than 10 photo's.
Have you seen this photographers work? make sure it's quality work.
why would anyone want to do this, when its so much more natural to take pictures together.
I am a photographer myself and I have never done this before anf niether has any other photographer I know. There has been circumstances where families are quite strict and they dont want the couple to have a couple photoshoot so I have done solo shoots for them and captured them naturally when there on stage.
I am not sure what circumstances will lead to this but if thats what some people prefer then its certainly possible to do
Re: photography
how would you go about doing it and making it look natural..any tips please
Re: photography
You take some apart before the nikkah and then more together, after the nikkah. I've never heard of photoshopping them together.
Re: photography
There shouldn't be any problem once the nikkah is through.
Re: photography
i'm sure some people have done that...but if you are in my situation you need to as my hubby doesnt want a wedding photoshoot so I was planning of having pictures taken of him separately and my pics separately and paying someone to put them together...just a thought i know it sounds ridiculous!
Re: photography
He doesn't want a wedding shoot? Why do it as a wedding shoot? Dress up nicely and get pictures taken together. Does he feel it's silly because it's a wedding shoot?
Re: photography
i think its a bit ridiculous to do that and its going to look silly afterwards and be a huge waste of your money and his. and how on earth are you going to convince him to pose without telling him what its for? i think you seriously need to sit down and have a chat with your husband about how important it is for you two to take nice pictures/portraits together. do some research- find out the location and cost, if you want to do it indoor or outdoor, etc., and then let him know. why is this so complicated for you? after all, you've been married 6 years- i find it hard to believe you haven't spoken to your hubby about this before- i'm sure he's aware of how much its bugging you. he might just be open to doing a party dress photoshoot with you if he feels silly with both of you dressed up as bride and groom.
yes he thinks its silly. He said we have been married 6 years then why have a wedding photoshoot...I can name it anything else if I want to wear my bridal langah etc...I know everyone is saying dress up nicely and get shot done but its not the same if you know what I mean....
Re: bridal photosession
10 pictures is lame. you will most likely get one passable one out of it- usually photographers charge by the hour, no? and whatever the click in the hour is it- i mean, its digital now so its not like there is cost of film!
you should continue addressing this in your other thread that you opened up instead of opening up new ones all over the place maybe :)
Re: photography
I think you're going to be disappointed if you make this so artificial, wearing your wedding clothes again, pretending to be a bride and groom, photoshopping yourselves together, etc.
Like I said in the other thread, instead of trying to go back to 6 years ago, celebrate the intimacy and romance of your relationship TODAY and develop a photoshoot that celebrates that. Wear something new that you love. He can do the same.
we had a photo shoot done on nikkah and walima day as it was included in our package and I must say they were crap compared to the gorgeous natural shots of us, when we didnt even know the camera was looking at us! They are the better pics for wonderful memories x
The reason why I would want to get a photoshoot with my bridal langa from my wedding is because whenever someone asks to see my wedding pics i make up an excuse like their are at my mums house because I donot want to show people horrible pics that were taken of my wedding. My nikah langa was so nice that I want to have nice pics in that langa as then it will seem as a waste because I will never wear it again.
Re: photography
Okay, so wear it again. But I don't think you should pretend they are your wedding pics. When people ask, just say the pics are crap but the memories are great. Or something like that. Get new photos taken wearing whatever outfit you want to wear, but don't make it artificial.
Re: photography
thanks sahar02 and everyone else for replying..I have spoken to my hubby about it but he needs more persuading somehow im going to have to persuade him dont know how :(
we all change yr by yr, wont ppl think the pics look like you now? ppls face, body changes etc
Re: photography
Yeah, that's the thing. It's only been 3.5 years since my wedding, and I do look different. I think that's one of the reasons it will be disappointing if you try to recreate it in an artificial manner.
Re: photography
sahar02: when you mean artificial do you mean if I have them edited on photoshop to include my hubby in the pictures. or is it artificial because we have been married for many years and the poses in the pics wont look natural?
Re: photography
Both, ami. Like if you pretend to be a sharmeeli dulhan. Or if your husband is uncomfortable because you're pretending to be newly weds, rather than a happily married couple of a few years.
