Pre-nuptial pictorial Part 8

[yn061515]

mga sis, sa 300+ na photos, parang 10 or less lang nagustuhan ko.
Sobrang frustrating. Ewan ko, edited na daw yun eh. 

[ANJFinally]

^sis! Ako din, hindi super duper happy. Siguro na hype lang ako nung after ng prenup and wedding. Pero lately ko nalang narealize kapag nakikita ko yung ibang output nila sa ibang clients, feeling ko hindi 100% yung service na naibigay samin.

Sis, try mo kaya to get another round of prenup photos with a different photog? kahit yung studio type prenup like this: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/214132157262068116/

ayan mabilis lang yan gawin. even days before the wedding magagawa nyo yan sis. i'm sure there would be a photographer who would be happy to do it for you. kahit magaling na hobbyist mapapaganda yan. para at least makikita mo real time [textspeak!] type mo yung shot or hindi kasi ang alam ko pag sa studio, naka link up agad yung camera sa laptop eh so makikita nyo agad.

[simang]

Ako lang ba hindi super happy sa outcome ng prenup? Ako lang na medyo nagsisisi?

dito kasi kami sa Doha nag prenup, walang stylist, walang HMUA. Kami lang talaga. Akala namin okay na mga suot namin pero paglabas ng output, gusto kong maiyak sa pagkadismayado. Parang nakulangan ako sa effort ng photographer namin. Ewan ko. Di manlang nya sinabi na ang taba pala namin sa ganitong post. Na bakat na bakat pala mga tyan namin. Na gulo na pala ang buhok? Ewan ko. Alam ko naman na kasalanan din namin dahil wala ngang HMUA at stylist, pero ewan ko, ang dami kong nababasa na reviews na yung mga photographer nila e nagsilbing stylist at assistant nadin on the day of the shoot. Ewan ko, after ko matingnan ang output, nasabi ko nalang, yun na yun? Sa pagkatagal tagal kong na-excite, wala, ni hindi ko na tiningnan ulit. Ni wala akong planong iupload sa totoo lang. Nasayangan lang ako sa oras at pera, pero what to do? Hindi naman talaga kami kagandahan at kagwapuhan at mas lalong hindi kapayatan so sino ba naman kami para mag-expect? Wala lang, gusto ko lang mailabas to. Baka sakaling meron ding ganito pakiramdam. 

Aww sis so sorry to hear that. Paano kayo nagplano ng prenup with your photog sis? Kasi kami wala ding stylist at hmua pero months before our shoot nagdidiscuss na kami ng layout with our photographer. Sya nagsuggest ng mga susuotin. Di kami naka visit sa venue prior to the shoot so sa picture lang din kami nagbase kung anong outfit at theme ang babagay sa lugar.

Yung prenup photographer, sya rin ba ang magcover ng wedding nyo? I think very important na idiscuss mo how you feel with the photos esp if sya din sa event mismo. Kumusta yung ibang work nya? Tingin ko kasi nasa kamay ng photographer talaga ang kakalabasan, regardless of your outfit or venue or ichura in general.

[yn061515]

sis ANJFinally diba? Parang unfair. Yung iba kasing works nila parang ang ganda ganda kahit hindi din naman super ganda at pogi ng couple. 

sis Tincywincy this is the plan na nga, to have another shoot with another photographer na di sing mahal hehe. Sana maging happy nako sa output 

sis simang wala kami diniscuss with the photographer, ni wala din sya idea sa isusuot namin. Totally nagtrust lang talaga kami pero ayun nga, we're so disappointed. Di ko alam pano ko sasabihin sa kanya na hindi sya ma-ooffend. At hindi rin maapektuhan output nya sa wedding. 

[winkar22]

^ If this happens to me, magpapalit na siguro ako ng photog sa wedding. Have you paid them in full na ba? Baka pwede pa i-cancel? Sorry pero parang hindi ko na kayang pagkatiwalaan sa wedding ko yun kung hindi ako masaya sa kuha nila during prenup pa lang.

I agree.. Kung di pa naman fully paid change photog na lang kesa naman forever mo makikita sa albums mo yung panget nila n shots. Kaya nga tayo kumukuha ng photographer and videographer to capture yung memories sa special day natin.. Ang wedding ang isa sa best day natin kaya maganda kung macacapture talaga yun ng maayos. Kesa naman forever ka magmukmok sa poor service nila.

[Tincywincy]

Super agree! To think na maganda ang location ng prenup nyo pero lousy padin ang output nila, medyo nakakatakot na ipagkatiwala ang wedding. Unless may ibang tandem na mas magaling within their group na pwede mag step in as your main photog sis.

[ANJFinally]

Yung mga high-end suppliers ba, dapat pang high end weddings lang din? Nakakaloka kasi yung ganyan. Yung wedding namin as in budgeted lang, pero naramdana ko talaga afterwards na yung supplier feeling ko hindi nila binigay yung 100% best nila compared sa other clients nilang mas may budget, or mas may magandang setting, styling, and all.

[Tincywincy]

^ OMG sis totoo?! dapat hindi.. kasi nag bayad ka naman and they agreed to give you their service. every client naman deserves nothing but the best from their suppliers lalo na hindi naman free service yun.

[ANJFinally]

^hahaha sis nagtatanong din ako re high-end suppliers.

Samin kasi hindi naman high-end pero na feel ko lang kasi kapag bino-browse namin yung wedding and prenup pics namin, walang shot na mapapa WOW ka, more on sakto lang. Which is yun nga yung reason why we booked them kasi may wow factor sa works nila. I just felt lang na yung service samin parang kulang or hindi 100% best unlike their other clients na nasa magandang setting, may stylist, and may budget.

[winkar22]

^ Yan ang pansin ko din with high end suppliers. Pag nakikita ko yung portfolios nila ang gaganda. Tapos nagkakataon naman na nakukuha sila ng mga friends ko who aren't that high-end naman, pero tama lang. Pagkakita ko ng outputs nasasabi ko na lang na "ay bat ganon parang ang layo sa nasa portfolio nila" or "bakit parang normal lang? eh yung nasa social media accounts nila napapa-wow ako".

[ANJFinally]

^Ganyan ang feel ko samin sis. Parang substandard service. Dahil ba sa park / simpleng resort lang kami nag prenup? Hahaha!

Siguro nga kasi pang portfolio nila yung may magagandang location and styling kaya naman todo bigay din sila sa service nila. Pero kapag ang location nila is somewhere na may breathtaking scene, parang 1000% best ang bigay nila. Like yung mga shots nila sa El Kabayo, Mt. Batulao, Ilocos, and somewhere na may good location & stylist. Hahaha! Sa park lang kasi kami. Lol

Baka masyado lang din akong nag expect sa service nila so I ended up quite disappointed.

[Chili1113]

Hehe I regret having a prenup. To think free lang yon bec I won it and the photographer was good. But we still had to spend 25k for venue, HMUA, food, transpo, outfits. The pics are really nice naman except I have absolutely no use for them. After my wedding, I found it too cheesy and cliche to even post it on my FB hahaha Parang I find it so corny and fake. Everyone has prenup nowadays and medyo nababaduyan ako to even post it hehe

sayang lang the money hehe. One thing good is we got to practice how to pose and smile properly, so during the wedding we had an easy time and our wedding pics came out so well.

Also learned that chemistry with photographer and his style is so so important. We had a diff photographer for our wedding and his style is more natural and less staged.

[decibel28]

Hello Chili1113 Well siguro depende sa Pre Nup theme yung pagiging cheesy ng pictorial?

For me and my fiance kasi, what we want is a natural/casual approach lang when it comes to our engagement shoot. Di kami fan ng "staged" pre nup, with all those long flowy dresses, naka suit, todo make up and all that. Actually at first ayaw ni fiance, for one gastos daw and no need na, nauso lang siya blah blah. Pero nalambing ko kaya pinagbigyan ako, condition is that he will choose our Photographer and Videographer which is fine with me

We did our first engagement shoot a few months back when we were in Japan. No stylist, no HMUA. It's like having your own photographer/videographer while travelling and man it was soooo much fun! Especially if you have a rapport with the one shooting you.

Photos turned out well, just the way we imagined it Di pa lang namin ni rerelease sa friends and family matagal pa kasi ang wedding next year pa

[winkar22]

^ I'm not a fan of those "staged" prenups din. Hehe. Lalo na kung awkward yung poses na nakikita ko sa iba. We're also going for the natural/candids lang. Hindi din kasi ako sanay na ako yung kinukunan. I'm mostly behind the lens. And honestly, tinatamad din ako mag-prenup pero may point si Chili1113 . It will be a good practice na din para medyo sanay na pagdating ng wedding. 

Speaking of, anyone here na member ng Kawayan Cove? or nakapag-prenup na dun? 

[Chili1113]

^Actually, maganda naman yung prenup namin hehe. It was just in Pinto Art Gallery and we didn't have any props or theme or anything, Normal lang hehe. And wala ako masabi with the photpgrapher he was super good and patient and a pleasure to work with. He really gave it all he had even it it was super duper hot that day.

But, siguro lang, I am just biased to the pics taken during the wedding hahah.  Of course, the wedding phots kasi mean so much to me because it was taken on our big day itself!

My takeaway lang siguro is if you have limited budget, skip nalang or do a limited budget prenup and todo spend on your dream wedding photographer! Iba pa rin talaga yung pics taken on wedding day. Because when you look at them, it really evokes a lot of emotions. Don't sacrifice your wedding pics just to allocate budget for prenup =)

Also, we're an older couple na so medyo slightly nahihiya kami to post our prenup pics sa social media haha.

[kdramaholic]

^ I super agree sis Chili1113 sa sinabi mo na "Don't sacrifice your wedding pics just to allocate budget for prenup" Iba pa din ang wedding pics talaga!! I also agree din na best practice ang prenup pictorial for the big day!

Our prenup also was very simple and yung clothes na suot ko puro damit nung mommy ko nung medyo bata bata pa siya hehe bahay bahayan-ish happy naman kami kahit di ganun kadami yung shots kasi mas priority din namin ang wedding mismo.

[decibel28]

Haha diba winkar22 ayaw kasi namin yung "staged" na parang pang ads na or whatever haha! Pero of course this is our personal preference, and nothing against those couples who loves this style for engagement shoot. Kanya kanyang trip lang diba Siguro major factor din na si fiance is same like you, always behind the camera and not comfortable kapag siya na ang subject so better na natural approach and candid nalang talaga kami

I agree with you Chili1113, para kasing add on lang ang engagement shoot. Kung very limited ang budget, I guess okay lang din naman to skip it kasi what will matter naman is the wedding pictures/videos, dun nalang mag invest diba Pero if meron naman a few extras to spare, then why not Naku!!! Okay lang yan, doesn't matter if older na kayo or younger pa or whatever. Engagement and wedding pictures niyo yun and isang beses lang yun so may K ka to be proud of it

[Tincywincy]

i agree, if hindi kaya then wag nalang utuloy ang prenup. lalo na if the aim is to just follow the trend.

in our case, our prenup is one part that we agreed not to miss. we're the type of couple kasi that doesn't take much photos. So we're taking it as a chance to have photos done professionally that we can hang on the walls of our future home. While i agree na wedding photos are much more important than prenup photos, syempre suya din naman if puro wedding pictures lang. so we really made sure we choose a nice location na swak sa personality namin and allotted budget (kung ano lang naman yung kinaya ibudget for that) to turn it to a nice house decor someday. para may pakinabang at the same time memorable. tee hee!
