Curious About Train Track Pre-Wedding Photos ♡
For brides considering outdoor or nature location pre-wedding photos, I would like to suggest a certain place for the shoot ♩
That place is... train tracks...!!
How about taking wedding photos at "abandoned train tracks" that are no longer in use and safe for people to enter?♡
It's like a Studio Ghibli film. A nostalgic picture*
Wedding photos taken on train tracks can vary depending on the surrounding scenery and atmosphere,
but they often feature lush greenery, natural and nostalgic vibes, and a soft air reminiscent of a Ghibli film*
You can capture warm, story-like photos filled with hope, like a scene from a fairy tale!♡
Moreover, as the children’s song goes "the train tracks continue endlessly," it's associated with the bright and joyful train journey, which can correlate with the newlyweds' married life.
While it's a bit of a stretch, it's a perfect pre-wedding photo spot!!
There's a saying, "Romance is facing each other; marriage is walking in the same direction," but with train track pre-wedding photos, it symbolizes walking straight ahead together toward the same direction.
Such a wonderful meaning can be included ♩
What poses to take on the train tracks?
Walking side by side on the train tracks ♡
Escorting on the tracks♩
Facing each other, holding hands, and bringing your faces close together ♡
Sitting between the tracks with a back hug*
Feeling like having a leisurely break during the journey♩
You could capture various compositions standing, sitting, or walking.
