This 3-step guide will make planning your trip a snap!<\/i><\/p><p><b class=\"special\">A<\/b>n increasingly popular trend in Singapore, getting your wedding shots done abroad is a great way for couples to get a holiday in and relax on the job. If you\u2019re looking for something you can\u2019t find locally, say a shot of your veil blowing across a vast expanse of sky and red desert, a shoot abroad could be just the ticket. The climates overseas are usually more conducive to three-piece suits and heavy gowns too.<\/i><\/p><p>Of course, that\u2019s not the only reason couples choose to spend extra to get their wedding shots abroad. In the age of globalisation, many sweethearts meet while studying overseas or spending a couple of years working abroad, and a pre-wedding shoot is a meaningful way to capture fond memories forever. Some couples go back to the site of a first holiday together, or simply take advantage of the shoot to enjoy a vacation in a country they\u2019re always wanted to visit. Whatever your reasons are for choosing a wedding shoot overseas, SingaporeBrides helps you out by taking you through the process.<\/p><div class=\"banner\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">OA_show(5);<\/script><\/div><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_1445.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1445\" \/><i class=\"special\"><a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/2015\/07\/overseas-pre-wedding-photography-cape-town\/\">Dramatic Coastal Pre-Wedding Photography in Cape Town<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/d\/wedding-photographers\/\">John Lim Photography<\/a><\/i><p><b><b>1. Choose a location<\/b><\/b><\/p><p>First of all, think about where you would like to take the photos that mark the beginning of your journey as husband and wife. Did you homesick hearts click while poring over lectures together in a university abroad? Perhaps he surprised you with a trip overseas and proposed against a majestic mountainous skyline. Your wedding shoot will hold a lot of significance if you choose somewhere meaningful to the both of you. If you have a special place you want to shoot at, ask if your photographer can arrange to go there. Yukako of La-Vie Photography advises couples that while they try to accommodate any special requests, they would have to check whether photo-taking is allowed in that location, and that there might be additional access fees or transport fees.<\/p><p>You could also very well take advantage of the shoot to enjoy a holiday with your beloved. Take a break from wedding planning and stay on at your chosen location to see the sights. If you\u2019ve been saving up to tour Europe together, having your wedding shots taken there might be a lovely way to commemorate your vacation.<\/p><p>Do take note of seasons when deciding on your location. If you want to pose while cherry blossoms flutter down behind you in Japan, plan for a shoot in the early months of the year, as they usually bloom in April. Down under, spring comes at the end of the year, so if you\u2019re after beautiful fall colours and romantic vineyards in Australia, go between March and May. Most photographers offer time slots throughout the year to suit your preferences, and for easy scheduling, you can check out upcoming locations through this <a title=\"Overseas Wedding Photography Schedule\" href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/overseas-wedding-photography-schedule.php\" target=\"_blank\">schedule<\/a>.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/IMG_1942.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1942\" \/><i class=\"special\"><a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/2015\/07\/overseas-pre-wedding-photography-cape-town\/\">Dramatic Coastal Pre-Wedding Photography in Cape Town<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/d\/wedding-photographers\/\">John Lim Photography<\/a><\/i><p><b><b>2. Choose a photographer<\/b><\/b><\/p><p>You\u2019ll be flying overseas for your photographs, and you want to make sure you\u2019ve got all the details right before you go. Seasoned photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/d\/wedding-photographers\/\">John Lim<\/a> advises couples to give themselves peace of mind by choosing someone who\u2019s familiar with photographing overseas, and who knows the best locations. \u201cThe important thing is what kind of experience the photographer can give you,\u201d John says, \u201cand how well he takes care of you during your whole experience.\u201d Look for someone who knows the ropes, and someone you can click with to get the best out of your trip.<\/p><p>To meet the rising popularity of taking wedding photos abroad, photographers and studio nowadays offer a range of packages that make things more convenient. They fly around the world too, so it all depends on what you\u2019d like to capture and what outfits you want to wear. For a 7-hour shoot at four locations in Japan with two changes of outfits, one Western gown and suit and one in traditional Japanese kimonos, <a title=\"La-Vie Photography from Japan\" href=\"http:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/featured\/wedding_photographers\/la_vie_photography_from_japan\" target=\"_blank\">La-Vie Photography<\/a>\u2019s Kenran package includes outfit rentals, a photographer, hair and makeup, accessories, transport to the locations, lunch, interpreter, and even an assistant. Most packages also allow you to bring your own wedding finery. The studio will inform you what else you should bring along, such as your own set of pantyhose, girdle or socks.<\/p><p>For studios like La-Vie Photography, which has staff based in their various locations, you don\u2019t need to worry about separate flight and accommodation costs for your photographer and stylist, so you only need to book your own travel tickets and hotel stay. Some studios offer a complete package where even your flights and accommodation are included. Do remember to check if your package includes travel and stay, and whom they are for. However, choosing to book your own could be more convenient when you\u2019re planning to stay on and holiday after the photo taking session is over. With budget airlines flying everywhere these days, you could score a great deal if you book early as well.<\/p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/overseas-wedding-photography-2.jpg\" alt=\"overseas wedding photography 2\" \/><i class=\"special\"><a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/2015\/07\/silent-jonas-stunning-pre-wedding-photography-japan-macau\/\">Silent and Jonas&#8217; Stunning Pre-Wedding Photography in Japan and Macau<\/a> by La Via Photography from Japan<\/i><p><b><b>3. Discuss the shoot with your photographer<\/b><\/b><\/p><p>Once you\u2019ve arrived at your shoot destination, your photographer will brief you on the shoot\u2019s itinerary. What locations you visit and what style of shots you capture will depend on your personalities and tastes. \u201cI try to deliver something different for each couple, and their wedding shoots reflect their unique personalities and what they like about the location,\u201d says John. Do discuss with your photographer what you hope to capture to commemorate your love, because the more he gets to know you, the better he can customise the shoot to suit you, and you\u2019ll feel more comfortable and relaxed around him as well.<\/p><p>In fact, prior discussion was crucial for one of John\u2019s overseas shoots, which took place in Tiffany\u2019s, in New York. He briefed the couple on what they were planning to shoot that day, as usual, but what the bride didn\u2019t know was that her groom had previously let John in on his secret proposal plan. \u201cRight in Tiffany\u2019s, he surprised her with a ring! The photographs turned out especially romantic and their love really shone through,\u201d John tells us.<\/p><p>Not all overseas wedding shoots will have such a happy surprise, but each trip is sure to be a fun time with your beloved if you simply relax and enjoy the different surroundings. When all the travel preparations have been made and wedding gear vacuum-packed, remember that you\u2019re going to make some beautiful memories, so whether you soak in the new sights excitedly or wax nostalgic over old haunts, let your love and enjoyment show in the photos!<\/p><hr \/><p><i>Image credits:Feature image of <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/articles\/2015\/07\/overseas-pre-wedding-photography-cape-town\/\">Dramatic Coastal Pre-Wedding Photography in Cape Town<\/a> by <a href=\"https:\/\/singaporebrides.com\/d\/wedding-photographers\/\">John Lim Photography<\/a><\/i><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overseas wedding photography is a great way to explore a new country and capture your romantic travels together.
