Hi sissies! We're FINALLY done with our prenup shoots (photo & video). We did the shoots on separate days and in completely different locations, as requested by our p/v team. Sharing with you what I learned and hoping it helps other sissies who are still in the planning stages of the prenup.
1. To those getting both prenup photos & videos, there are pros and cons to having it done in one day and on separate days.
HAVING IT DONE IN ONE DAY (+): you'll save money; (-): you'll have similar shots in your photos & video, "nag-aagawan" ng shots yung photographer & videographer niyo.
HAVING IT DONE ON SEPARATE DAYS (+): your photos will be completely different vs your video, planning comes easier because you already know what to do and what not to do; (-): planning a second one can be tiring esp if you & h2b are very busy, and like what i said kanina - extra gastos.
2. Indoor venues (like artsy cafes or prenup studios) are interesting and artsy but the shots can get limited. You'll mostly get close-ups. If you want the shoot to have a more cinematic feel, go for venues with wide open spaces where you can use nature as your backdrop.
3. If you have the time, lay out out yours & h2b's outfits to see how coordinated they look. You don't have to always be super matchy (both in white, etc). Complementary colors of the same brightness and hue are just as pretty.
4. For video shoots, shoes don't really matter. You can barely see it in the videos. For our video shoot, I wore 1 pair of sandals lang for 3 layouts (we had a total of 4 layouts). Make sure they're comfortable because you'll be moving A LOT. Flats are best.
5. The night before, prep your skin for makeup. A clean face is the best canvas for flawless makeup. Scrub, moisturize, and sleep early.
6. Make sure everyone in your team is hydrated and fed. If you can, personally hand out the food and water to your team. Sometimes they get shy and won't ask you for food or water. Pwede rin, place it somewhere they can easily reach para kanya-kanyang kuha nalang. Also bring coffee because at some point in the shoot, you'll all need a pick-me-up.
7. Bring makeup remover if you want go home with a clean face. If you have a makeup artist during the shoot, they'll be piling on the makeup for different looks. When the shoot is done, you'll have layers and layers of makeup on your skin.
Hope I helped!
