Must-Have Paper Item for Weddings: Profile Book ♡

It’s not just a seating chart; it’s a booklet that includes the profiles of the couple and the menu, making it like the king of paper items.

What Kind of Photos to Use on the Cover of the Profile Book?

A classic design for the Profile Book features a photo of the couple on the cover...

Every bride at some point wonders, [what kind of photo should I choose for the cover?]

Whether it’s handed over at reception or set on the guest tables, the cover is the first thing guests will see. You want to choose a lovely photo that will make them say “Wow!” ♡

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…)

But you want to convey that it’s your wedding photo and also be seen as stylish…!

What kind of photos should you choose to create a subtle and chic atmosphere for your Profile Book?

In this article, I will introduce what kind of photos previous brides have selected for their Profile Books as references. ♡

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.
