Speedy Change in Wedding

Change gowns change styles, main theme of local wedding.

“How long you need for each change?”
A must ask question from bride-to-be.
“15-20 mins” I answered.
“Is it possible to make it faster?”
Another must ask question.

Makeup and styling takes time. Please, don’t squeeze me.
If you have experiences as helper in weddings, 15-20 mins is beyond average.
Do you accept less pretty, less neat, less secure?
Sorry, I don’t. I insist.

Carol doens’t have many gowns, but she expects different styles for each session.
We discussed the hairstyles, makeup, headpieces, flowers for 3 months.  We planned to do 6-7 styles for her day.

It was a beautiful day, temperature rasied a bit, rains and clouds gone.
After her first style finished, maybe she loved the style too much, suprisingly, she suggested to keep the style till banquet.
After I put on the first Flower of Magic headpiece, she asked if her can reuse it!
Then same conversation repeated for the 2nd, 3rd… styles.

If your rundown is too tight, one of the trick is to use different color/materials/size/shape headpieces to obtain a differnt image.  I had a great demonstration with Carol today, thumb up to Greenfingers:

Nothing Fancy

I insist to have communications with bride-to-be before their wedding, all my wedded clients knew, I would keep bugging you if you didn’t reply me. ò_ó

I apprecaite those clients who trust my taste, but each bride has her own character and expectations, although we had trial before, I love to learn you more through your wedding theme, outfits…etc.
So that I can have more preparation, to design different Flower of Magic headpieces, different hairstyles to each of you in your wedding.

Loretta’s first request is “nothing fancy”;
second is “volume fringe”.

So I suggested to change the style of fringe between most different gowns, save more time for photoshooting with guests and enjoy the day;
also to keep our styling theme that day – simple.

Not cold as we expect, beautiful scene and weather!

What an enjoyable day to work under compliments from a big group of beauties:

美麗的背後

非常喜歡這輯相!

這是為五月份<<新婚通信>>做的化妝示範, 一直都想寫這次拍攝的behind the scene, 直至現在才有時間.

今次因應編輯的要求, 做了三款帶夏日感覺的妝.  而個人的要求, 則想做一些有別平日常做的清麗自然妝, 而仍然適合新娘子的, 畢竟, 是<<新婚通信>>嘛.



幸運地, 這輯相亦獲得極佳的評價.  confirm了的客人們都紛紛電郵電話到來, 想要這幾款妝. 還有不少”生客”打來預約, 可惜, 手只得一雙, 無期也無辦法, 與徒弟仔唯有將之推掉. 希望已畢業的後浪們加油, 多雙手幫忙.

其實這次拍攝絶不容易, 不要看似每一個妝都乾淨亮麗, 當日初與模特兒見面時, 我以為她中了毒.
她由眼皮, 眼袋位, 至面部, 都是紫色的, 真不知道她前一晚去了哪裏, 做了些什麼.  我將我所有懂得的遮瑕技術都用上了, 希望能夠力挽狂瀾.

還有, 看清楚, 有否發覺她無一張相是帶笑容的.  對, 當天, 她直接的跟攝影師說:
“I’m not in the mood”
我知, 從相片也看得出!

還有她面形的關係, 我們得轉了原定以外的幾款髮型, 配合攝影師的角度, 希望能夠加以修飾.

攝影師Hang固之然功不可抺, 還有要命的後期功夫, 真係辛苦哂!
不得不介紹大家, 細心留意那些花, 其實也不是什麼特別種類的花, 一經徒弟仔的巧手, 平凡的花兒變得如此浪漫, 如此繽紛, 如此搶眼!  這些, 就是Flower of Magic 了.

當然還有編輯Jill又要買花又一袋二袋的到來, 還想到 Summer Dream這個題材, 美麗, 才會誕生了.


辛苦哂各位!
