9 Different kinds of Wedding photoshoots you can do at The Tamarind Tree

Planning to tie the knot here at the best wedding venue in Bangalore? Let us tell you our secret spots here along with the different kinds of photoshoots you can do at The Tamarind Tree, to click the best of your wedding photos!

Traditional Wedding Photography

Look through any wedding album and one sure shot you will find is that of the classic family portrait. Some other examples of traditional wedding photos include:

  1. Exchange of garlands and vows
  2. Group pics of the couple with most of the families
  3. Pictures of the menu spread, people eating
  4. Pictures of the wedding rituals
  5. The first shots of the couple after they become man and wife

While this may be the most common style of photography, there is no wedding album ever complete without a few of traditional wedding photos. The photographer should know beforehand what angles work best since there is no undoing while the window to click a memorable photo is also pretty short, considering the many guests that need to be clicked with the newly married.

The mantaps at The Tamarind Tree are beautifully created to allow maximum movement to all attendees, including the photographers, so you do not miss any of the important shots.

 

 

Photojournalistic Wedding Photography

In layman words, the photojournalistic style is nothing but candid photography. There is indeed a very thin line between traditional and journalistic kinds of photography, but what sets them apart is the way the story is told through photos, and how it is capable of evoking emotions even without being present at the moment. It is about capturing the real essence of the wedding, the unplanned behind-the-scenes, the quick glances and funny moments, the emotions that run through behind closed doors just before the big moment.

This style requires quite a bit of creativity and quick responsiveness to special moments. The easiest way to get the best out of the wedding is to get to know the couple a bit beforehand and blend in with the crowd.

At Tamarind Tree, nature plays a huge role in adding that extra touch to candid wedding photography. The play of shadows through the leaves, the rustic backdrops, the clear skies and the clearer air make for a beautiful set up to your photography session.

   

Illustrative Wedding Photography

Illustrative wedding photography are usually heavily planned, keeping in mind the exact framing, composition, styling, lighting and background. These kind of wedding photos does not usually happen during the actual weddings but during pre-wedding shoots. Illustrative wedding photography is a good mix of traditional and photojournalistic photography styles. The shots are planned in a way that it looks candid while keeping the whole traditional essence of love and romance.

The trick with illustrative wedding photography style is using a little bit of landscape photography skills along with outdoor fashion shoots. Even though your subject may not be trained models, a little guidance will make them give their best angles.

The Tamarind Tree has been a chosen venue for many such pre-wedding shoots. The pond pavilion is an all-time favourite not just for pre-wedding shoots but all kinds of wedding photography. The stairs that lead to the pond is one of the iconic shots always taken at The Tamarind Tree, and it never goes out of style!

 

   

Portrait Wedding Photography

Portraits surely bring out the beauty of the faces, of the bride and groom and everyone else at the wedding. It could either be a formal setting or a completely goofy one. Choose a style that best represents the real personality of the bride and groom so they can be their real self in front of the camera.

Portraitures are the ones that are framed and hung in a couple’s bedroom, so they are definitely a must. Some moments where portraits can be shot in their realist essense are

  1. In the makeup room, just as she sees herself as the bride
  2. When the couple’s eyes meet when dressed as the bride and groom
  3. The moment where a ritual finalises the bonding, for example putting the sindoor.
  4. The moment they are finally man and wife, with their faces gleaming
  5. And all those kinds of subtle emotional moments during the days of the event

Tamarind Tree’s rustic appearance makes for the best background for such pics. From colourful windows to statement doors, shaded allies to fiery sunsets, Tamarind Tree is known for its natural beauty, making way for some beautiful wedding portraits.

 

     

 

Natural Wedding Photography

If you thought for photos to come out romantic and dreamy, you would always need the best of equipment, you are wrong. The best lighting is natural light – the mild, crisp morning light, the bright and peppy sunlight of the day, the dreamy and warm moonlight of the night, the cozy and glowing effect of the moon – pictures clicked in natural light is one of the best wedding photography practices. Yes, it does need a lot of practise and a decent understanding of uncontrolled light, but once you nail it the end results will even leave you spellbound!

That doesn’t take away the need of some lighting equipment kept in handy for unforeseen situations like a cloudy day or moon less night.

Tamarind Tree is famous for being the best outdoor wedding venue in Bangalore. Plus the greenery, heritage sculptures, modern amenities, ample open space, age-old trees and a clear sky being far away from the hustle bustle of the city makes this the best wedding venue to get photos clicked in natural light.

 

Fine Art Wedding Photography

Don’t get too frazzled by the word. Fine art photography is to do with capturing the elements of the wedding in not-so-basic frames. Individual shots of the non-living aspects of a wedding make for the best kind of fine art photos. Think couple rings, bridal dress, makeup table, henna-dyed hands, etc. Fine art photography does not just stop at photography but involves a great deal of post-production to get the desired dramatic effect. Because this kind of wedding photography style uses mostly objects, there is no posing involved. This kind of photography is best left to the secondary or tertiary shooter in the team so that the primary members focus on getting the real, unplanned moments captured.

Here are a few fine art wedding pictures shot at Tamarind Tree that capture the essence of the event.

Fashion Wedding Photography

Off late, most brides are very aware of the ongoing fashion and take high risks when it comes to their bridal fashion game. Hiring a photographer to capture the high-fashion drama in all its glory is a must-have! The use of smart lighting setups, fashionable poses, professional expressions, and beautiful backgrounds makes the couple enact the life of models for a day.

It is indeed a photographer’s delight to be able to shoot images that are fit to be magazine friendly as it is a huge boost to their talent and confidence. For inspiration, go through fashion magazines for image references and share them with your client. More often than not they will be more than happy to have editorial-like pictures of themselves clicked.

Tamarind Tree has been a clear choice for many such photoshoots, with real brides as well as real models posing as brides for various magazines or brand catalogs. All the brides who shot their high drama fashion images in our venue are always on the lookout to come around for round 2 of their photoshoot!

 

     

Black and White Wedding Photography

Classic. Timeless. Sophisticated. Black and white photos will never go out of fashion. Monochrome images are less distracting, automatically putting the focus on the subject due to the lack of varied colours and bright lights in it. Contrary to what it may feel like, black and white photos can actually enhance the mood of the photos.

Black and white wedding photos have been a hit in the west and the trend is soon catching up here in India too. This style can be best taken at cocktail parties or during an engagement event.

The natural pond, grandiose mandaps, and open skies at Tamarind Tree, when lit up in the evenings, make for a dreamy set to a perfect evening party. Wedding events taking place in the evening make for a great bet for black-and-white photos. So have a word with your photographer about clicking some black and white pictures during your evening parties.

 

   

 

Aerial Wedding Photography

No modern wedding photographer leaves the venue without having at least one drone shot! Aerial photography has become a rage now, be it in weddings or travel. A bird’s eye view gives compelling details of the place and makes the images look extraordinary. Aerial photography in the wedding scenario is also catching up and there are quite a few interesting shots one can plan to take using drones.

Tamarind Tree is set away from the city in the middle of nature, offering some beautiful landscapes. It is at present the best outdoor wedding location in Bangalore offering some beautiful scenery for those who want to go for aerial shots at their wedding.
