Chitchat Sinkie couple slams wedding photographer for not making them look good (lol!)

[sweetiepie]

They should've skipped the photo-shoot. Save money and save face. Maybe go photo-booth take a few photos can liao.

KNN my uncle also don't understand why the paying photohrapher money custom can continue till today KNN

When you cannot carry yourself properly, with or without wedding, you just CMI.

He's a photographer for Pete's sake! Not a plastic surgeon.

Even a plastic surgeon cannot do much to the flat and fat Face mah

For their next wedding...use him.

Should get a special effects editor instead of a photographer. Hire industrial light n magic to do the job. But they are no miracle workers.

There's no medicine to cure for such light-headed dick

 

[streetsmart73]

I could take better photos with my iPhone.

JT, do something magical to old gin

 

[streetsmart73]

The bridegroom and bride should have undergone a makeover first before the photo-shoot.

Extreme makeover is the betterer choice

 

[Scrooball (clone)]

They should have gone for plastic surgery instead of good photography!

Honestly, photographers are a bunch of over-rated cunts. Just like food bloggers, all u need is a DSLR camera. Sure we can go into the technicalities of having proper lighting equipment, tripod, editing software etc, but this is not exactly rocket science. I see many cunts out there promoting their so-called wedding photography services, and they are simply terrible!

What's the use of wedding photography? For reminiscence after divorce?

 

[steffychun]

What's the worth of a wedding photo? Usually it is there to collect dust or get diposed during divorce.

 

[halsey02]

I agree that the photos are crap. The fact that the couple aren't exactly lookers is a separate issue altogether.

White on white...against light reflecting off water!? The photographer doesn't use a filter? or nowadays digital cameras doesn't require one? & set everything to AUTO. Back in the old days...the photographer's will retouch the pictures before giving them to the person (s)...sometimes an ugly toad, after retouching at the studio with the ink etc...will look RAVISHING. But, these, really are over exposed or even out of focus pictures...never mind the subjects look like a pen, full of pigs or the couple a pig & a sow..that is not the issue.

Ah!....so that, the crying bride, can either tear one half & keep the other or cut...or even use a black marker..blacken the face...that is why they need a wedding photo.

Any professional photographer should know how to avoid blown out skies. There are various methods :

1. High speed sync flash or high power flash.

2. Gradient filter.

3 Shoot separate image of sky and then blend.

How Much Should a Professional Wedding Photographer Cost and What Should You Expect?

The latest saga to go viral on Singaporean social media is the story of this couple’s wedding photo disaster. While not a fan of Stomp-style flaming and shaming, I have to admit the pictures are bloody hilarious.

(For those not in the loop: Couple uses bridal shop’s wedding photographer. Photos turn out beyond-your-wildest-nightmares awful. Photographer was only paid $350 by the bridal shop for a full day of shooting and editing of hundreds of pictures).
When you consider the fact that the photographer was paid a paltry $350 for a job that could have taken entire days of his life, it’s really not surprising the way things turned out. You know the saying: pay peanuts, get monkeys.
Photography is an art that takes years to master—and people who think any idiot can just pick up a camera and start shooting deserve to end up with crappy photos.
Here’s how much a couple of local pros are charging to shoot weddings.

Multifolds Photography

• Wedding packages of 8 hours start from $3,080.
• Additional $50/hour for photography before 6am.
• Additional $300 for split-day weddings
• Additional hours beyond package at $300/hour.

Visual Artisans

• 300 SGD per hour. Most of the weddings they cover are at least 8 hours long, while some go all the way up to 15 or 16 hours.
• Albums and/or enlargement prints available at an extra cost.

Smitten Pixels

• Packages range from $2,000 to $3,000 and include edited images saved on a USB, printouts and a slideshow.
• Additional charge for extras like albums, photobooks and canvas prints.

Trouvé

• Full day wedding packages cost on average $3,000. Includes 10 hours of photography, editing and digital photo files.
• $1,000 for wedding album.
• Extras include prewedding shoots both locally and overseas.

Live!Studios

• Packages range from $1,588 to $2,888 depending on the duration, number of photographers and tables at banquet.
• Includes 4 to 10 hours of photography, digital photos on a thumbdrive, live projection of photos abd customised photocards.

Clearly, you’re looking a paying at least $2,000 for a full-day wedding package including gatecrashing, solemnisation and banquet… which really explains how engaging a bridal studio to provide an all-in package including makeup, gowns, suits AND photography for $3,000 means you shouldn’t expect much from your photos.
If you’re on a budget but still want great photos, your best bet would be to skip extras like the photo albums and abandon all thoughts of having an expensive overseas prewedding shoot. It’s much better to have a great photographer take pictures locally than have a crappy one provide all sorts of extras.
Obviously, there’s no way to scientifically determine the value of one photographer over another. You either like a photographer’s style or you don’t, and no matter how cheap that $350 photographer might be, if his pictures are even worse than a 16 year old blogger’s Instagram account, why even bother?
Our advice is to look through portfolios, shortlist a couple of photographers whose styles speak to you and then see which ones are within your budget.

What's the use of wedding photography? For reminiscence after divorce?

This is because a person doesn't really think of divorce during wedding or days running up to wedding. Most of the time, it's the illusion that the marriage will become an everlasting union between a prince and a princess. The girl wants to be able to brag to her friends that she has found the perfect man, and while face and stature are most often imperfect, wedding photos can paint a different picture if nicely done. At this point, the man pampers the girl even though he knows he is imperfect, and is unlikely to fulfill the fantasy of the prince and the princess. The man plays along, and the man too wants to create an impression among the girl's girlfriends that he is a good catch in order to garner as much as possible gazes of envy. The latter is a little secret about the vanity of men - to make use of the woman he loves little to provoke maximum envy among other women that the "perfect" man is no longer available.

The same friend became a private investigator and took photos for evidence of adultery.
