A well-prepared pre-wedding photoshoot can make the day go much smoother. Check out this list (english version is below the chinese version) of things to keep in mind before your shoot.

新娘注意事項：

拍攝前一至兩週:

• 可以之前幾天做 peeling,再用上保濕 Mask,方便護膚品吸收令妝容更貼服。(但不要拍攝前一天/當天早上才做 peeling。敏感皮膚不適合果酸。)
• 請不要在拍攝前短時間內做醫學美容，可能會令皮膚出現泛紅或瘀青、脫皮的情況。
• 為了避免新的護膚品令皮膚過敏，兩星期內盡量不要試新護膚品。
• 如有植假眼睫毛,請在化妝前拆除,否則化妝師不能調整眼型。
• 處理雜毛,腋毛必須完全清除，手毛、腳毛也可以處理。
• 化妝師不會當天做駁髮,如有需要請事前到髮型屋處理。
• 如會帶顏色隱形眼鏡(大眼仔),請盡量使用貼近亞洲人眼珠眼色。
• 如沒有配帶隱形眼鏡經驗，請在拍攝前一至兩星期練習一下。
• 可5-7天前補染頭髮。
• 請留意耳孔有沒有埋口。

拍攝前一天:

• 請拍攝前一晚洗頭及盡量小用護髮素,會更方便 set 頭造型。前幾天也請不要做 hair treatment。
• 如有需要，可以早一天買定鮮花作拍攝，也可使用我們Studio絲花花球。
• 晚上睡前避免喝太多水或吃太鹹，否則會造成隔天早上面部水腫。

拍攝當天:

• 若屬高敏感皮膚的客人,請準備卸妝及護膚用品,並要告知化妝師。
• 手指甲乾淨整齊便可,有時需露腳拍攝,有需要可塗腳趾甲油。
• 請準備高跟鞋,拍照出來的比例會比較好。
• 可帶求婚戒指。
• 另外請記得帶 Nude Bra 及無痕內褲。
• 我們主張簡約妝容,較少用頭飾。有需要的話化妝師會有一些簡單的頭飾。至於鮮花及其他飾物需客人自備。
• 當天建議穿闊領/開領衣服,化妝後換衣服時會較方便。另外也盡量不要穿太緊身的衣服,避免換婚紗後出現衣服壓痕。
• 拍攝過程都需花精神及體力擺 pose,所以請記得上來前吃早/午餐。
• 第一個新娘妝會大約需要 2.5 小時。

新郎注意事項:

• 化妝師會幫男士做簡單化妝，大家需時15-20分鐘。主要是遮霞，調整眉型，令整體感覺更精神。如果男士想遲少少到，可以新娘化妝後1.5-2小時後到達。
• 請留意風格上我們不會幫男士貼雙眼皮膠紙及假眼睫毛。
• 如果男士平時有gel頭，可帶自己偏好的髮泥自己做定型。
• 化妝師也會幫男士做簡單頭髮定型。但如果男士有指定髮型（例如需要捲髮），最好影相前先去相熟髮型屋處理造型，
• 男士襪子顏色最好同褲的一樣/近似。
• 請檢查是否要帶皮帶，領呔及袖口鈕。
• 如有需要，請在早上先剃鬚及修剪鼻毛，及修剪指甲。可帶備鬚刨。
• 如帶眼鏡，不要用防藍光鏡片，否則在光線下眼鏡部份會反藍光。

寵物拍攝注意事項：

• 請帶備足夠零食及玩具。
• 請帶備尿片如有需要。
• 如果寵物在影樓大小便，請客人幫忙清潔。
• 可帶備毛輥，以清除衣服上的寵物毛。
• 如果有衣服想要狗狗/貓貓穿上拍攝，請在家中先給牠們穿上習慣一下。

戶外拍攝注意事項:

• 請帶備蚊怕水，防曬。
• 可帶手提風扇。
• 如去沙灘請帶備毛巾。
• 可帶平底鞋及高踭鞋。
• 冬天可帶一件外套或暖包作保暖。
• 雨天可帶透明遮或黑遮。

Bride’s Checklist:

1-2 Weeks Before the Shoot:

• Skincare:
  • Consider doing a peel a few days before the shoot, followed by a hydrating mask to enhance absorption and create a smoother canvas for makeup. (Avoid peeling the day before or morning of the shoot. Sensitive skin should avoid fruit acids.)
  • Refrain from any medical aesthetic treatments in the weeks leading up to the shoot, as they can cause redness, bruising, or peeling.
  • Avoid trying new skincare products two weeks prior to the shoot to prevent potential allergies.
• Other:
  • Remove any fake eyelashes before arriving our studio for makeup.
  • Ensure all body hair (underarms, arms, legs) is removed.
  • If you require hair extensions, get them done at a salon beforehand.
  • If wearing colored contact lenses, choose a shade that complements your natural eye color.
  • Practice wearing contact lenses for a week or two if you are not accustomed to them.
  • Consider getting your hair color refreshed 5-7 days before the shoot.
  • Check your earlobes for any piercings that might be closed.

The Day Before:

• Hair:
  • Wash your hair and use minimal conditioner the night before the shoot to make styling easier. Avoid hair treatments in the days leading up to the shoot.
• Flowers:
  • If you want to have real and fresh flowers for shooting props, purchase them the day before. You can also use the studio’s silk flower bouquets.
• Other:
  • Avoid drinking excessive water or salty foods before bed to prevent facial bloating.

On the Day of the Shoot:

• Skin:
  • If you have sensitive skin, bring your own makeup remover and skincare products. Inform the makeup artist.
• Nails:
  • Keep your fingernails clean and tidy. You may want to paint your toenails if there are shots that require showing your feet.
• Shoes:
  • Bring high heels to enhance your proportions in photos.
• Accessories:
  • Bring your engagement ring.
  • Remember to bring a nude bra and seamless underwear.
• Makeup:
  • The studio emphasizes a minimalist makeup style, with minimal use of headpieces. The makeup artist will have some simple accessories. You are responsible for bringing any flowers or other embellishments.
• Clothing:
  • Wear a wide-neck/open-neck top for easy dressing after makeup. Avoid tight-fitting clothes to prevent indentations from clothing after putting on the wedding dress.
• Food:
  • Remember to eat breakfast/lunch before arriving, as posing requires energy and stamina.
• Time:
  • The first bridal makeup application will take approximately 2.5 hours.

Groom’s Checklist:

• Makeup:
  • The makeup artist will provide basic makeup for men, which takes about 15-20 minutes. This includes concealing blemishes, shaping eyebrows, and enhancing a more alert appearance. Men can arrive 1.5-2 hours after the bride’s makeup is done.
  • The studio does not apply double eyelid tape or false eyelashes for men.
• Hair:
  • If you regularly use hair gel, bring your preferred product for styling.
  • The makeup artist will provide basic hair styling. If you have a specific hairstyle (e.g., curls), it’s best to get it done at your usual salon beforehand.
• Clothing:
  • Ensure your socks match or closely resemble the color of your pants.
  • Check if you need to bring a belt, tie, and cufflinks.
• Grooming:
  • Shave and trim your nose hair in the morning. Trim your fingernails. Bring a razor if needed.

  • Bring enough snacks and toys for your pet.
  • Pack diapers if necessary.
  • Be prepared to clean up any accidents your pet might have in the studio.
  • Bring a lint roller to remove pet hair from clothing.
