  i think on the whole this pho­to­shoot turned out pretty nice despite the dorky sus­penders (and suit) and ques­tion­able qipao (mainly i don’t like the color)

  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

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

  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?

  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.

  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
