Korean Concept Wedding Photography
== Korean Concept Wedding Photography & We Got Married Reality TV == Korean Concept Wedding Photography or Korean Wedding Photography was popularised by hit Korean reality tv variety program, "We Got Married". The program features a celebrity couple who pretend to be married. Each episode sees the couple going through many different scenarios.

== Rise of Hallyu == This style of photography has its roots in the Korean Pop industry where wedding albums are shot by celebrity photographers who have vast experience shooting fashion spreads or material for the entertainment industry. The result would be an album looking very dramatic and stylised with elaborate backdrops. This wave of popularity has ridden on the so-called Hallyu (the surge of interest and popularity in all things Korea).

== Jewel in the Palace == The leader of this Hallyu movement was "Jewel in the Palace", (Dae Jang Geum), a period drama that chronicles the trials and tribulations of an exceptionally talented medical practitioner in a Korean palace.

== Exodus of Celebrity Photographers == With explosive growth in the entertainment industry, a fertile ground for developing talented photographers became available much like how Hollywood is now. Some of these photographers left the entertainment industry for the pre-wedding photography industry (a trade unique to Asia) bringing with them their stylised shoots that border on glam and whimsical.
