3. Lens choices

Three types of lenses you might want to consider that would be ideal for wedding;

i) wide focal range - for groups and location shot

ii) prime lens - for portraits and images of all the smaller yet hugely significant items such as: the rings, party favours, flowers, bridal accessories

iii) telephoto - for spontaneous ‘moments’ that people treasure because they show the subject as being ‘real’.

my photo: Korea in Memories (2)

This is one of the view at Nami Island.

Nami Island is very famous for its magnificent view. It is also known as Island of Romance because it host the shooting area for famous Korean series; Winter Sonata.

I can say, this island has witnessed enormous romantic moment between couples around the world.

Geographically, Nami Island located quite a distance from its capital, Seoul. However, it is still feasible to reach by land transportation e.g.: bus, taxi or car

Among the most usual events we can see a photographer is during wedding. For beginners, here are some tips you might want to consider for wedding photography.

1. Preparation

The most important steps a wedding photographer have to do before a wedding is to prepare for the event itself.

Firstly things you might want to consider is to meet with the bride and groom and setting in concrete what it is they want and don’t want so there can be no confusion down the line.

Secondly you have to be familiarized with the venue so that you can have some ideas on the shots to be taken soon. Take into consideration where the light will be coming from at the time of day you’ll be shooting and to get some contingency plan in case of weather discrepancy.
