Wedding Photography Secret

For those who are getting married, plan to and want to get married or even those who wish they got married, this one's for you. We hope to help you in your quest for the perfect wedding.

Both a science and an art, photography has aspects that are exact and have subjective appeal - the scientific part, being the knowledge of the relationship between light and subject. The artistic side being the photographer’s skills in arranging complementary elements within the picture, the anticipation of significant moments and knowing when to press the shutter button.

Many would consider finding a venue as the next step after determining the date and the budget, but we beg to defer. Before choosing a venue, decide on the theme. If you want to have a royal wedding, Manila Cathedral would be more kingly than the Shrine of Jesus in the Pasay reclamation, albeit both being great, photogenic churches. Concept alone will produce photographs that are unique and YOU.

Original ideas for your wedding put covers of glossy bridal magazines to shame and bring self satisfaction. Imagine an environmentalist couple having a garden wedding or surfer sweethearts saying ‘I do’ by the sea.

Concepts produce aesthetically unique images. They make your wedding album stand out from the rest and make it something you would always want to go back to time and again. As we believe, many years after the celebration, a photo album that brings the event back to life could help rekindle a stressed marriage. Photography - a secret to a successful marriage.

Studio IX Website Update February 2010 Thank you for taking the time to visit us. We are updating our photos page and there will be a few minor changes on this home page. Please visit us again. -o- Ultimate Weddings 2010 With a spur of the moment decision we took part at the Ultimate Weddings 2010 Fair at SM Megamall last January 23 & 24. We would want to express our deepest gratitude to those who went out of their way to visit our booth. -o- A Photographers' Wedding There are so many photographers (professionals & hobbyists alike) today. A couple into the hobby approached us late last month for our services. Knowing their passion, a snap idea came to us. Imagine, (1) holding a photo exhibit during your wedding. This could even cut the cost of giveaways as (2) you could have your signed photographs as guests' souvenirs (about Php 10-20.00 each). Instead of a table to table, you could (3) set up an on-site studio & take pictures of the guest while your photographer takes a photo of you taking those pictures. So much you can do with concepts that could be descriptive of you and your wedding. Plan it carefully and be creative.
Studio IX Website Revision We continually work hard to provide our friends and guests the best online experience possible. With sensitivity to their needs, we now came up with a simple, more user-friendly and informative site that everyone can use. But for those who enjoy the flash interaction, it would still be available on demand, just click on the link on the top of this page to launch a new window or tab. This new homepage should be regularly updated and a 'News Archive' page has been added to store previous articles, press releases, and others to pave way to more recent information. Artists - Studio IX photographers, cinematographers, and graphic artists - will be found under the links tab of the navigation bar on the left. Each link should lead you to the personal website of the artist. May we also invite you to visit 'Links > Others' to see some of our friends who may be of assistance in more ways than the modest profession of photography and video. Getting Close Time flies! It's 2010 and we are about to introduce something that would stun the wedding photography industry. But just like many other things, it's either you'd love it or you'd hate it.
