Yo Bro, your friends photo sure very nice, mind share?
Sure i will keep you all in updated, in this thread

Thanks.
Frank

Yes sir, get a short focal length lens thus we can put our camera near near from us Nice suggestion! Thanks a lot!


Frank

First try my new camera Sony A6000 with 50mm 1.8 len.
If wear gown and suit i will be perfect.
The wifi of sony is bad if too far from camera , will try wide angle next time.

Currently i found there are two challenges of self taken pre wedding photoshoot:

1) Attire (gown/dress/suit):

Self shooting: We have to rent/buy the gown, suit and other accessories such as flowers by yourself.
Studio services: They will provide you these stuffs.

2) Make up (hair/face):

Self shooting: We have to make up by ourselves, or go to beauty/hair shop before shooting.
Studio services: They will provide these services for us before/during shooting.

Is this the price you pay when shooting pre wedding photo?

Yup, indeed. I am still searching those cheap gown under few hundred Ringgit for my girl..
Or perhaps other traditional cultural dress will good also, such as Cheongsum, Korean Hanbok, Japan Kimonos

Yes, dress and suit can buy at cheaper price at those online retail, or wholesale market.

Haha, photo bombing by tourist really annoying, must visit on low season or find a different angle view without people (based on ur creativity)

Practice again Sun light is too strong, this photo was taken during noon
Will try on morning or evening next time.

Thanks your opinion DaddyO, can you suggest any better way to shot such photo?By tripod with remote shutter apps. Much appreciate if you can guide me

It is very tough to do it! Plus my SONY A6000 wifi will be always disconnect with my smart phone if i go too far from camera, while using 50mm lens , then i have no choice to use wide angle kit lens 16mm so i will not facing problem to remote control my shutter.

The background is overexpose because we take under the tree shadow (cuz too hot during the noon)
Will try to shot more during morning or evening next time with better dress up

Thank you very much PF T.J

Appreciate your opinions DaddyO. I will try to use longer focal length with low f-number aperture such as 50mm f1.8 lens which focus more on us so can blur more to background.

Bobian have to use tripod or something that can support my camera because there is no other hand can help me . That's why i open this thread "self pre wedding shot", shot own wedding photo without hire photographer or asking friend to shots (means no other hands to press shutter button), i am not very rich guy who can hire a photographer or a team to go travel with us (eg Paris, US, London, Salar De Uyuni, Santorini, Bali, Maldives, Norway for aurora and many many more destination that i plan to travel in future and i wish to have these awesome background in my wedding photo, this is my dream )

This is a very very challenging goals for me anyway.

No worry dude It is true that sometimes the lens will blur us but focus the background so i have to set face detection mode to avoid this problem occur. I use smartphone "playmemories app" as my remote viewfinder to check my pose and use 2s timer (i press shutter in playmemories app), then hide my phone
I cannot see the LCD while under strong sunlight, i tried before using this method (casio ZR1500 with 180 LCD) it was very difficult than remote control app

I will try whether A6000 can capture RAW file tonight by remote apps. Actually i want to buy a5100 but i hate touchscreen and FPS is lesser (i do capture kids sometimes by burst mode). BTW, i still have Casio ZR 1500 as selfie camera and A6000 as professional photography purpose , still on the way to learn more on professional photography such as portraits, landscape, street photography and astrophotography (i like this!), and going to purchase Lightroom and Photoshop for learning more on photo developing skills)

Tested yesterday night, using playmemories remote control can shoot RAW+JPEG

Yup, i have one extra battery and 3~4 memory card for more space

Hi Junfu1988, thanks for comment.

Of course, to get a best quality photo we more prefer on Full Frame sensor. But i cannot afford to get full frame, so i get a APS-C sensor camera - Sony A6000 (I could changes lens to get better photo, different focal length/F-number)

For travelling, for me i would not like to carry too heavy stuff like those DSLR, what i need is smaller size camera such as mirrorless camera.

Any better suggestion from you? Appreciated..

More sharing for my selfshoot pre wedding photo.
