Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Changsha, Hunan Province, Elephant Pictures has a high reputation in the local area. Opened in September 2016, the Guangzhou branch covers an area of 2,500 square meters, integrating reception area, men's and women's clothing hall, dressing room, makeup room, interior studio, is one of the few wedding photography studios in Guangzhou with a large studio, if the couple simply wants to shoot the interior, then you can enjoy one-stop service here.
If the couple does not make an online reservation in advance, they will be received by the customer service staff when they arrive at the store. The customer service staff will first ask the newcomer what kind of theme style they like, and show more than a dozen styles of samples such as Korean aesthetics, Chinese retro, white classics, fresh nature, sunshine forest, urban love, youth campus, movie lighting effects, honeymoon travel, magazine style, home, etc. If the customer chooses the urban love style, the customer service will recommend going to the top of the Canton Tower to shoot, mainly in cold colors, which can achieve the shooting effect of large scenes, but the space is limited, and the shooting is mainly posed; If customers choose literary style, they recommend Enning Road, Red Brick Factory, Shamian and other scenic spots; The South China Botanical Garden, the World Grand View, and the suburbs of the university town are suitable for taking pictures of natural scenery. There is no limit to the shooting of elephant pictures, any scenic spot in Guangzhou can be chosen, as long as it can be finished within one day, but you need to send photographers, makeup artists, and assistants to the scene at your own expense, and pay for tickets.
Elephant Pictures does not have a complicated package like a traditional photo studio, only 7299 yuan, 8899 yuan, and 10999 yuan. The package of 7299 yuan shoots more than 160 photos, 40 photos are refined in the later stage, and two 12-inch and 18-inch albums are given, three 7-inch, 12-inch and 18-inch tables, and a large photo of a 40-inch oil painting frame, which can be hung on the wall. The difference between the 8899 yuan package and the 7299 yuan package is that the former has a dual image service, which is followed by the film kitchen video team for a day and edited a MV video of about 5 minutes. The photographers and makeup artists of the 10999 yuan package are all chief level, and you can choose a set of wedding dresses in the star area to shoot in the interior, and the number of photos that are refined and included in the album will increase to 48, and the size of the corresponding album and frame will also increase. However, regardless of the series, an additional fee of 59 yuan will be charged for adding a retouched photo.
The whole process from placing the order to getting the finished product lasted about two months. The newlyweds need to pay 30% of the fee in advance after booking the photographer's schedule, and the balance will be settled on the day of shooting. A week before the shooting, you need to go to the store to choose clothes, take wedding photos about a week to the store to select the film, 30 days after the refinement effect, confirm the album and other finished products within 15 days after confirmation.
Different from the streamlined operation of traditional photo studios, the wedding photos of Elephant Pictures are mainly captured, and the service team will fully communicate with the newlyweds before shooting, and establish a personal plan for customers, collect relevant information, and the photographer will deliberately create an atmosphere during the shooting process, so that the newlyweds can better adapt to the environment. No matter which package is a photographer, makeup artist, dress artist, assistant, sales five-to-one service, after each set of shooting, the photographer will let the newcomer confirm whether there is still a need to supplement the content they want to shoot, and if they are not satisfied with the shooting, they can reshoot unconditionally.
Although the Guangzhou branch of Elephant Pictures is young, it has accumulated a lot of good reputation in the industry, and it has truly achieved no hidden consumption, the tickets for all attractions are reimbursed, and the props and fares in the filming process are all open and transparent. The only drawback is that the clothing of Elephant Pictures is divided into boutique area and star area, and the clothing in the latter area can only be used with a price increase of 880~1980 yuan, which is suspected of prompting customers to consume twice. The customer service staff is also very frank that the so-called brand-name wedding dress is actually based on the genuine proof.
It should be noted that since Elephant Pictures only has 10 cosmetic rooms, it can only receive a maximum of 10 couples a day, so if the newcomers request to change the schedule, they need to apply one week in advance, otherwise they need to add money. In addition, if the newlyweds need to take an extra day due to personal circumstances, they will be charged an additional 1,500 yuan. Of course, force majeure in case of bad weather does not cover. Elephant Pictures will assume that the customer agrees that the photo will be used for corporate publicity and display, and if you mind, you should clearly state the confidentiality requirements.
