Like a tongue twister that confuses, so are the varied approaches in wedding photography…
yes, because there are many. From traditional to all sorts of non-traditional. I-SHOT un-twists
these styles for a full exposure on each shot.
TRADITIONAL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
”The conservative type of photography—and so,
it appeals to conservative couples. Those who
prefer this would like standard shots.
You have to follow how it all unfolds,
from preparation to the reception –
you don’t cut the ceremony.”
The kiss. The whole entourage
walking in. Cake slicing. All these
fall under traditional wedding
photography. Chronological order is
crucial, telling you the highlights of
the big day, from start to finish.
PHOTOJOURNALISTIC
“This is more candid, you capture
moments.
This is when you
document the happenings without
letting them pose, candid shots.
Like, when a bride inadvertently
trips. You show what happens, it is
not scripted. This is a very interesting approach,
but can be a bit challenging.”
Flower girl yawning. Tearful guests. Or tearyeyed groom. Unlike simply telling the sequence
of events or the program proper, each picture is
a story in itself. Unguarded emotions on display.
FASHION –BASED
”This is one of the more trendy methods now.
Even ordinary clients would sometimes want
‘vogue’ wedding pictures. The
photographer’s art direction
is very important here. For
example curvy brides can
be made to pose in a certain
way that would make her look
slender. Basically, everything
is a beauty shot. If clients are
fashionistas, they would want
this cosmopolitan feel going on.
Shots in magazine spreads. If you think you want
this, you could first try it for your prenup pictures.
STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY
“Play with the lighting. We will use studio
lights, then you place it where it should be. It
will be mostly directed by the photographer,
main light, second lighting and highlights
all in place. It’s best when couples are
comfortable and cooperative as
the photographer guides them.”
This is a bit uncommon. But
works great especially when it’s
raining outdoors.
Studio pictures, like what
you had with family. Great
for your wall display.
FINE ART
“This has something to do of course with
art and technology. Post production is
usually at the forefront, unless you
chance by beautiful lighting that
makes the shot look like a painting.
For couples who like to recreate a
fantasy, like walking on clouds, so
we can do that artfully, specifically,
with editing. Silhouettes is another
example.
Surreal shots. Dreamy. For those
who’d like a piece of art, and them
as subjects.

I-SHOT’’s pick
“A combination of Photojournalistic, Fashion-Based and Fine Art. It’s the trend now, and it has a huge
following. These are all challenging methods, the fashion-based and fine art, creates really wonderful
pictures, very beautiful. Although, beforehand, we talk to the clients to gauge which types suite them
or which they personally prefer. We have an advantage because we’ve started from film, 15 years in
photography, we’ve learned a lot.”
