i like this one too…i feel like it'd be better if they leaned on each other more though

yeah everything does look nice here…i especially like the train station and the hazy small town one underneath…

i don't like the bali ones as much because you barely see the people (hard to compose with that big hut thing). i like the tea bushes the best bc it seems like the kind of background that's impossible to mess up…similarly the one above, less so with the bridge. i really like this entire page in general, seems nicer than anything i saw on that other site yesterday. i also like how the people look less stiff and as if they actually know each other.… i wonder if the sample pictures are actual couples or models? either way they have much better chemistry than most people from yesterday/above

oh i didn't even see the white dress and paper xi ones…they ARE very nice.

fake afros?!?!!!!!

as for cap veils, i think they're lame in general except the vintage one you linked to — which is really pretty/classy! i think that would be lovely with a very understated slinky dress. Actually i'm pretty sure i saw a photo of that in lucky one time when they had a bridal feature. but yeah all other pictures that turned up on google image are ugly i agree…

well in my opinion what they think are nice might not be same as the one i think are nice, e.g. i tend to dislike ones they put at the front/on the main page. i think people prefer ones that look different/cool/design-y, where they look like they're on a model shoot (the girl anyway, the guy usually looks like this-_-). instead i think it's nice to capture some sense of what they have between them which would make a beautiful picture even with the most ordinary background as long as you have nice camera and lighting

(probably this is all easier said than done, because how relaxed can people look while being photographed by a stranger…)

yeah those pictures aren't that great but i was thinking more of the place which i think was underutilized. second the weirdness of the dress

I thought i'd avoid shinto shrines just on principle but in most of these these pictures you can't even tell that it's a shinto shrine. I don't think the pictures are that great thought and I don't like the weird dress. beach pictures are fairly normal for beach pictures.

for the qipao set I actually really liked the pictures with the white dress + the paper 囍 on her head. I really like the dress and the paper 囍 is really cool. I think another reason is that I didn't like the qipao. My friends got qipao + cheongsam (male) pictures and it looked *really* nice, really classy, I think it's because the clothing was understated and the styling was nice. Ya I really like the station picture too. The wings are not *that* bad, in the grand scale of wings, I've seen worse (and I think i've seen them on guys too...). For some reason afro wigs (for guys) and cap style veils are popular in wedding photos in Taiwan (the two trends not usually in the same picture). I don't really get the cap veil, it's so ugly. I think Americans would find the fake afros politically incorrect but I don't think people from any other country would as much. Anyway there's this forum which people upload their pictures and you can save pictures you like in an album too under your login on the forum. I got some really nice pictures. But then when I looked at it I think mostly the reasons I like them are because of the compositions, color, lighting (slightly secondary are styling and poses.) You know, general qualities which make pictures good. Therefore I think it might not matter so much the location as whether the photographer is good or not... Wouldn't the sample pictures tend to be nicer than normal sets since they probably pick the nice ones to put up?

but it's your honeymoon, you're supposed to splurge! and i just can't imagine there is anything better than having a giant hot spring in your room

actually i think most of them are nice and i'm sure yours will turn out nicer than any sample ones they have

i think there's a tendency for wedding photography to be over the top — like crazy and frilly and really exaggerated… a lot of times they're dramatic but not emotional, vs. something more ordinary but very emotional

i think it's because it's 342523 times harder to capture emotion than to make a fun composition, something like that, because the photographer would really need to bond with the subject or take lots of photos to capture some fleeting moment

actually qipao would be so nice…although you have to find the right background and it's kind of kitschy with this kind of background… but i still really like that set, if you just ignore the billboard-flashy clothing i can imagine that turning out very pretty like if the guy wears a crisp tailored white shirt and the girl a solid color tailored dress
