\SOS/I don't have time to prepare photo shoot props!
The most exciting event leading up to the wedding day is the pre-wedding photo shoot ♡
Many brides-to-be are busy DIYing or purchasing various props for their photo shoot...
But there are certainly busy brides who say, “I don’t have time to make them, go shopping, or even look online!!”
I know I can take beautiful photos without pre-wedding props, but I still want to prepare something as a bride.
So in this article, for those who haven't prepared any photo shoot items yet, I will introduce “items you can find at home that can be used as shooting props” ♡
Home items that can be used as shooting props① Photo Frame
The first item I would like to introduce is a photo frame. Many of you may have your favorite photos or postcards displayed in frames around your room.
Try removing the backing from inside the frame and just using the frame. You can capture perspective shots like this ♡
If you have multiple photo frames, consider putting in each of your childhood photos.
You can capture lovely shots that reflect your growth together.
Home items that can be used as shooting props② Plush Toy
A plush toy of your favorite character can also become a shooting prop.
Here is a lovey-dovey photo with a TED plush toy in between ♡
Scenes of you both playing with plush toys are also cute and give off off-shot vibes ♡
You can try various poses, like holding hands with a plush toy, using it for a perspective shot, or giving it a big hug♩
Home items that can be used as shooting props③ Sunglasses
Sunglasses are excellent for giving wedding photos a casual and stylish atmosphere.
You can capture not just romantic photos but also playful and fun shots ♡
It’s okay if the designs of your sunglasses are different*
I want to capture a skillful shot where your reflections are in the lenses of the sunglasses like this ♡
Couples who have sunglasses, make sure not to forget to bring them!
Home items that can be used as shooting props④ Camera
Popular among couples who enjoy photography is the idea of using a camera as a pre-wedding item.
You can take turns taking photos of each other and adjust for shots that hide your faces behind the camera.
It’ll be a memorable picture that captures your hobbies, so it could come in handy for your profile book or video♩
You can take pictures of each other during the photo session, creating cherished memories ♡
You can perfectly capture the gentle gazes you exchange with each other.
Home items that can be used as shooting props⑤ Smartphone
A smartphone is also a wonderful pre-wedding item! A wedding photo taken through the screen of a smartphone with the camera on is called a 'photo-in-photo' ♡
Even poses that might be a little awkward to take normally, like kisses or cheek rubs, can become stylish with a photo-in-photo ♡

Home items that can be used as shooting props⑥ Hat
Straw hats and canes can also be used as shooting items. Here is a kiss shot with the couple hiding their faces behind the cane hat.
A refreshing hat is perfect for beach photos ♡
Classical hats are also great◎
Even if you didn't plan to wear one with your tuxedo, make sure to bring it on the day of the shoot*
Home items that can be used as shooting props⑦ Ball
The last item I’d like to introduce is a ball. Whether it's soccer, basketball, or volleyball, if you have played a specific sport, it's not uncommon to have a ball at home.
It can also showcase your shared hobbies, so how about using it?
Let's use home items for the pre-wedding shoot*
If you're short on time before the photo shoot, don’t worry ♡ If you look around your home, you might find many items that can be used as shooting props.
Pulling an all-nighter for DIY and getting sick would defeat the purpose. Prioritize your health and enjoy the day ♡
