Another participant at the exhibition from Taiwan, Romantic Life is an established bridal boutique and photography services company with branches in Singapore, Hong Kong and China.
With over 30 years experience in the industry, Apple Lin, its director of photography and a professional has covered thousands of weddings since he married to Ananta, a fashion designer in 1990.
Ananta takes care of fashions and the day-to-day running of their business while Apple concentrates on the creative aspects.
Apple who is leading his company’s team of photographers said wedding photographs, whether taken indoors or outdoors, must tell a love story.
The love story is usually personal to the couple, and only they can understand when they look at the pictures.
For instance, if the couple met each other on a diving trip, an underwater wedding shoot of the couple’s diving movements would have very special significance.
At Romantic Life, couples are interviewed and encouraged to talk about their love stories before the photographers start work. Interviewers ask the couple of some of the sentimental questions such as their favourite haunts and colours and so on. The photographers will then come out with ideas to tell the couple’s love story through photographs.
For this reason, Romantic Life photographers travel wherever the story goes. They have taken couples to all parts of the world. You name the place, and they have probably been there. Besides a good storyline for the story, another important thing is to watch out for the couple’s facial expressions and gestures, especially when they are looking at each other.
As Apple explained, the eyes are mirrors of our soul, and they are very important during a photoshoot. It is the eyes that convey the feeling of love, he added.
In conjunction with the event, the latest issue of Wedding and Travel magazine (W&T), the leading trend-setter publication for all brides and grooms-to-be from Singapore, will be available for sale at the event. W&T is also the official magazine of the event. So make sure to have your copy!
