That said, a photo where the couple’s face is front and center can feel overly showy and a bit embarrassing. (Plus, guests may find it hard to dispose of…)

Recommended Photo for the Cover of the Profile Book ① Bust-Up Shot

First, we introduce a bust-up wedding photo that captures from the waist down to the face! ♡

Not only does it avoid embarrassment since the face isn't fully visible, but it also has a stylish vibe reminiscent of overseas wedding photos.*

You can also clearly convey the details of your favorite wedding dress, which is a nice touch.

If you choose a photo taken from just below the eyes, it will give your Profile Book a romantic and mature atmosphere.

Of course, it’s also fine to trim a full wedding photo to your preferred position. ♩

Recommended Photo for the Cover of the Profile Book ② Back View

Back view wedding photos are also popular! They are perfect for those who have taken photos in their favorite locations.

In addition, if the background occupies a significant portion of the photo, like in this pic, text can be added above the photo, broadening your design possibilities. ♩

Recommended Photo for the Cover of the Profile Book ③ Face-Hiding Shot

If you want people to see the couple's coordination in the pre-wedding shoot but feel embarrassed about close-up shots of your face, a good cover option is a [face-hiding shot] ♡

A wedding photo where items cover half of the face allows for an elegant display of the couple without going overboard. ♩

You’ll want to carefully consider the props used to hide your face during the shoot.

Recommended Photo for the Cover of the Profile Book ④ Hand Shot

Hand shots are also a classic choice for the cover of a Profile Book. *

☑ Handing over the bouquet

☑ Holding hands

☑ Making a finger promise

☑ Putting on rings

☑ Making a heart shape

Among others, there are plenty of variations ♡

With hand shots, the cover can be entirely a photo, and it looks stylish ◎

Even without a visible face, it becomes a romantic Profile Book that makes your heart skip a beat. ♡

Recommended Photo for the Cover of the Profile Book ⑤ Foot Shot

If you have a hand shot for the cover, a foot shot is a must as well!

It’s nice to clearly show off your favorite wedding shoes, which guests won’t have a chance to see on the actual day.

☑ Lush green grass

☑ Urban cobblestones

☑ Colorful flower beds

☑ Tree-lined streets that evoke seasonal feelings

Take foot shots in places that match the atmosphere of the wedding.

A wide-shot that captures from the waist down also looks stylish. A midi-length dress with visible bridal shoes works well. ♡

The bride’s vibrant midi bouquet adds a splash of color, and the text is unified in the same yellow tone.
