Jung Tae-woo’s vintage-style wedding photos
by javabeans
Now, THIS is how to take an eye-catching, memorable wedding photo.
Not that there’s anything wrong with the standard types of tux-n-white-gown photos we normally see, but these vintage-style shots featuring actor Jung Tae-woo and his fiancée Jang In-hee are beautiful and interesting, as well as being out of the ordinary.
The 27-year-old actor of dramas King and I, Dae Jo Young, and Great Inheritance marries his (non-celebrity) bride later this week, on May 8, at Seoul’s Shilla Hotel.
Take a look at several more photographs from the couple’s wedding album, which features Jang in hanbok and groom Jung in a 1920s-inspired (’30s?) suit.

Great pictures! Definitely, the road less traveled.
Though you can hardly tell from these shots, Jung Tae Woo has some of the most facinating eyes.
Best wishes for them both!

Gorgeous and inspiring (I think I now know what I want to do for my own pictures, should I ever get married!), but whose idea was it to leave that huge LCD TV/DVD player in the background of the last picture?

Beautiful, beautiiful!! The violet and jade hanboks truly flatter her. Her last picture, from her bob cut and sheer, is a perfect blend of classic and jazz-age.
"but whose idea was it to leave that huge LCD TV/DVD player in the background "
That isn't a LCD TV. It's the Monolith. Jumong found it one day while surfing and used it to find the kingdom of Goguryeo. (Choi Wan Kyu rocks!! ;) )

these pictures are so pretty! that's so creative of them :D
i like the contrast of the colors too! from the dull back ground colors being contrasted with the colorful hanbook & in some pics, JTW's suits too! :D
sighs. so magical :D in a sense where there's like a time travel to the past thing.
haha, so romantic too :p

That last hanbok in the last picture.... that's so pretty. That and the green one are my favorites. She looks so happy, so elegant, so awesome.
This brings me to an immediate criticism. How come Korean hanboks for women are so freaking awesome, but the guys' stuff is so lame? What's with the MC Hammer pants and the weird hats and so on?
And I can't say I'm a fan of Jung Tae Woo's satorial presentation in the above pics. Either fill the clothes properly, or get smaller clothes. Something is off, the clothes don't fit him that well (and he shouldn't have been in a bow tie). Finally, his poses are a bit awkward, which brings me back to my own wedding and the Korean photog making stupid suggestions like, "smell her hair!" and "act worried!" (Half of our photos ended up being useless because I didn't look worried, I looked confused, which of course, I was.)
Great idea, good execution, nice style, just wish that JTW didn't have a vest and a bow tie. A nice fitted shirt with slender tie would have made him look longer and more put together.

I love the feel to these pictures. Very vintage, but with hints of modern. Like that picture where the bride shows off her shoes.
Very awesome. I'm loving the Capital Scandal feel ;]]
Congrats to the (extremely cute and happy looking) couple!!! xD

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these wedding photos. Looks like they really thought out the concept of their photo shoot rather than doing the normal wedding photos. The hanboks are absolutely beautiful. It's a great mixture or western and korean wear. Their a good looking couple.

It's different from all the other fancy wedding photos, but these are really gorgeous ^o^
I also laughed at this mega big screen tv XD It's still a nice picture, but it would have been better without it. It takes away the focus from the couples.

the first 4 photos are nice... but then the last pic ruined it all.. since when in early 30s a flat plasma tv do exist??? geez.. they should think more about the detail too if they decided to shoot a thematical photoshoot.. but i'm not complaining tho, just wondering.... ;)

WOW. Lovely AND classy wedding photos! While I have no idea who Jung Tae-Woo (and his fiancee) are - congrats on their upcoming wedding as well as the good taste to hire a photographer that can bring 'freshness' to wedding photography. Not an easy task - when 'cheesy' poses are often mistaken for expressions of 'love'. :P
The shots with the trams - the green hanbok ones - reminds me of vintage postcards. So lovely! Simltaneously nostagic but timeless. Classic. Only word for them.
These photos seem like they won't 'date'. The TV was a bit of an oops - but given there was some very nice shots, perhaps a quick photo shop session couild help. (Bet the photography studio probably has a queue a mile long now.....LOL or that other studios 'borrow' their ideas ASAP)
