＼Shutter Chance／The Moments of Cake Cutting & First Bite♡

The traditional events of cake cutting and the first bite are the biggest shutter opportunities of the reception.

It's a very happy moment to be surrounded by smiling guests in front of your favorite wedding cake＊

A wedding photo capturing the happy expressions of the bride and groom from the front is a must-have shot that your photographer should definitely take♡

Let's Capture the Guests During Cake Cutting & First Bite!

This wedding photo taken from behind the bride and groom, including the guests, captures such moments of cake cutting and first bite♡

The banquet that has been eagerly prepared for a long time is finally here. However, many brides say, "I'm so nervous and excited that I can't remember any moments during the event!"

While you may remember the lively and enjoyable atmosphere, it’s hard to recall how the guests reacted or the expressions they had while watching over you...

Thinking back on those details later is quite a challenge.

That's why, a wedding photo featuring all the guests is an important piece that allows you to reflect on those memories slowly.

For brides-to-be who plan to have their reception filmed with two cameras, this is definitely a wedding photo to request＊

(If there's only one photographer, make sure to consult in advance about what can be captured♩)

While the composition featuring guests in the cake cutting and first bite is often taken from directly behind the bride and groom...

I've also found some unique compositions to share with you♡

Wedding Photos That Capture Guest Reactions! Shooting Pattern ②

This shot is taken not from behind the bride and groom but from the back of the venue, capturing the couple through the guests.

It’s a photo that allows you to reflect on a happy moment surrounded by many guests from a third-person perspective.

In fact, many guests can also be seen in the mirror behind the head table♡
