Beginners' Guide To Singapore Wedding Photography

By Lebie Moore


Though one can regard wedding photography as technically a job or profession, or even a business, it is nothing like the average idea of an income-generating enterprise that mass-produces products. Albeit it is every wedding photographer's aim to attain financial freedom through his or her chosen craft, wedding photography simply is not about making money alone.

As a creative field, photography brings fulfillment and fun when most regular occupations don't, and it undoubtedly allows wedding photographers to flourish their skills one wedding at a time. This kind of fulfillment is exactly what draws many amateurs or hobbyist photographers to the industry, aiming to discover a world where every photo is regarded as a family treasure which will go down several generations.

What does a novice photographer have to know about Singapore wedding photography? Surely acquainting with the culture is one. An Asian country, especially its wedding traditions and customs, is different from a European, or even American. Knowing the subtle differences between these would help photographers better comprehend the dynamics of family gatherings such as weddings. This will allow a photographer to anticipate the photographic-worthy moments and, likewise, never miss out on them.

Newbie photographers will find that when it comes to wedding photos Singapore provides sufficient opportunities for creative expression. Post-nuptial shoots are a perfect way to photograph the just-wed bride and groom, preferably at a place that's both within easy reach and aesthetically pleasing.

When it comes to photographic gear, even a beginner must invest in the right pieces to achieve the shots that he or she wants. Although photography is a creative medium whose success depends mostly on the photographer's talent, it is still a gear-dependent craft. Before entering into wedding photography, ensure that you have an apt camera and lens or lenses, one or two flash units, and enough storage space. Depending on your photographic style, you must convey your creative messages using your photos and satisfy your clients' expectations through your technical knowledge and creativity.
