10 Elements of Great Wedding Photos

If you ask a photographer what makes a great photo, he/ she might suggest an image that has great composition (rule of thirds, symmetry, framing), captures emotion, unique, leaves something to the imagination, captures detail, has nice perspectives, etc. would look good. However to a non-technical person the photo must be attractive and captures the essence of the wedding. I think great wedding images should contain these elements illustrated by photos taken from WLoon Photography.
1. The expression of the couple being in love. When in love, they look a each other with passion something one cannot pretend. It’s more natural if the shot is taken when the bride and groom-to-be do not pose or fake a smile but just enjoy the moment. These photos can help rekindle the romance many years down the road.

2. That special moment. When the moment passes by it’s gone forever hence the photographer has to shoot at the right time. Wooi Loon is able to photograph a scene that tells a story beautifully. It takes lots of experience, photography and observation skills to achieve the photo-journalistic outcome on a hectic wedding day when so much is happening simultaneously.

3. Uniqueness. From unique lighting to artistic framing, there are many ways to create an interesting image. The pale color, subtle and artistic effects of the following picture turns the normally mundane face-to-face shot into an amazing and original scene.

4. The environment such as a lovely venue, beautiful structures, the nature, perspectives in good composition. Wooi Loon would go on-site to feel the location and get inspired before the shooting.

5. Creativity always adds a special touch to the photo. Photographer who thinks outside the box can produce far greater images. Getting married should be fun so be creative and bring in the humor, wittiness, playfulness…

6. Portraiture has been an important part of wedding photography. The stunning bride wants her painstakingly done makeup and hair to be shown in the wedding photos. And it’s also the perfect time to take a family portrait by a professional photographer. Wooi Loon makes sure that the portraits of the groom, bride, family, friends and groups are taken beautifully.

7. Detail. The details such as of the wedding rings, shoes or decorations are sometimes overlooked as everyone is preoccupied with interactions and activities on the busy day. This wedding bands close-up shot by Wooi Loon creates an attractive scene capturing the detail of the rings with bubbles at the background.

8. Unique color and lighting.

9. People’s Emotions. Wedding is the time when a lot of people gets emotional – how happy are the bride and groom the second they’re announced husband and wife, the excitement of family and friends witnessing the couple walk down the aisle, and the “wicked” look on the bridesmaids’ faces getting ready for the door games, etc.

Not only does he capture accurate and high quality photos, Wooi Loon is also someone who is professional and patient. I am sure you wouldn’t find so many positive comments about an irresponsible or even a mediocre photographer. From the feedback I got on my website, I am more convinced about the importance of a photographer with integrity, what’s more a talented one.

I
truly adore this travel photographer Wooi Loon for his natural and
romantic wedding shots. He traveled to many countries and loved
capturing happy faces of different people. Whenever you need a travel
buddy and official photographer at the same time, just call him and he
will surely say yes! But of course you have to check his busy schedule.
Whether it’s a pre wedding shot or on-the-day coverage, all his shots
are really sweet and dreamy. I couldn’t get enough of these lovely
photos!!!
