【海外婚禮拍攝日記】about wedding detail shots

我們前一天抵達勘景，跟新人還有他們的家人們住同一家飯店，為的就是希望能從ㄧ早就開始拍攝新人與家人們的準備過程。拍完化妝、準備、全家福、類婚紗、戶外證婚與晚宴後，也住同一家飯店，也因為先前這樣的住宿計劃，我們在婚禮當天得以專注於新人與家人真摯的互動，決定把白紗留到隔天拍攝。

婚禮結束隔天早上，我們跟新人借白紗來繼續拍，拎著白紗窗邊掛、樹上掛、到處掛的舉動可能讓飯店工作人員與其他房客很疑惑。

也許新人沒有特別要求要拍，但當天穿著許下誓言的白紗蕾絲、頭紗這樣的小細節，可能過一段時間就模糊了，但多年後，這樣的照片中也許能帶著新人感覺到當時摸著白紗、姐妹們幫忙穿上它的觸感、或是某個婚禮前許久的瞬間。

這樣白紗細節照也許不專屬婚禮當天的事件或某個時間點，但早在籌備婚禮階段，對許多新娘來說，尋尋覓覓找到夢想中的命定白紗、穿上它、選中它是感到「自己即將要結婚了」的重要時刻。

To photograph a wedding, we usually put more efforts into capturing the interactions between friends and families of the newlywed. Detail shots are beautiful but it takes time somehow and we don't want to miss out any interesting interactions or beautiful smiles or tears--It's so precious that so many friends and families of the bride and the groom gather together from different continents to celebrate their true love.

In Philladephia, we stayed at the same hotel as the bride and the groom for two days. So that we could spend all our time and energy on capturing those precious and magical moments from everybody getting ready in the morning to the very end of the banquet of the wedding day. On the next day we borrowed the beautiful gown from the bride and shot some detail photos, hoping that years later those photos would serve as a reminder for the bride of how it feels to look at, touch, wear this gown on the big day. This kind of photo may even takes the bride way back to the important moment when she first found her dream wedding dress and tried it on and realized that "aww I am getting married".....
