Three Patterns for Capturing Wedding Photos That Become Treasures for Life: Lessons from Taiwanese Creators♡

Not in America, Europe, or Korea.

When it comes to wedding photography in Asia, Korea is famous, but Taiwan is also gaining attention among professionals for its high quality.

Studio photographers are even going for training there, which is quite surprising for us regular folks — instead of Europe or Korea, it's Taiwan. Their unique worldview and sense are wonderful.

I love following the Instagram account "Joyce Fashionable Artist," and every time I see their photos, I am truly amazed by their beauty.

For example, this is also a photo from Joyce Fashionable Artist...

The angle of the photo is likely calculated to show off all the cute aspects of the bride (hairstyle, dress, back view, headpiece).

When I look at joyce Fashionable Artist's Instagram, I can't help but think, "Ah, if I were a bride, I would be so happy to have photos like these..."

(Because how often do we regret that our carefully chosen accessories didn't get captured in the photos?)

It’s no surprise that this person is a talented makeup artist, florist, and model teacher all rolled into one.

(This person!)

They are a specialist who understands completely how to make flowers, hair and makeup, and poses look cute.

So!!!

I, who love joyce Fashionable Artist, thought that Japanese brides would want photos like those by joyce Fashionable Artist as well... So I analyzed all their Instagram posts to see how to create such stunning photographs!

As a result, I realized that joyce Fashionable Artist's wonderful photos actually have three general classic poses... so I want to introduce them to everyone reading this article.

① Bend the body into a curve.

When I first saw this, I was wowed by how cute the photo was!

When I think about it, this pose seems unnatural, but there are many brides in joyce Fashionable Artist’s Instagram doing this pose.

For joyce Fashionable Artist, this must be a "pose and composition that beautifully captures the bride." (And indeed, they look incredibly cute!)

With the face close to the bouquet, not only does the face get captured nicely in the photo, but it also looks lively, and since the upper and lower body are close, the cute parts of the dress gather right in the center of the frame.

It’s definitely an angle and composition I want you to try.

② Hold the bouquet behind

This pose is also quite common.

A back shot of holding the bouquet with one hand instead of both.

You can see the hairstyle, the bouquet, the back, and hide the face because it can be embarrassing—it's all good points.

Furthermore, when you hold the bouquet normally from the front, the flowers tend to face upwards. So you can’t see the flowers’ faces from the front; you only get a peek from the side or at an angle.

However, with this way of holding it, the flower’s front can face the camera, so the flower's charm comes across 100%.

It seems the key is to hold the bouquet in a way that points it toward the photographer.

Each flower is facing the camera nicely, and you can also see the headpiece and the dress's back style...

I thought it was such a wonderful technique for capturing an amazing photo.

“Come to think of it, in Japan, many people hold the bouquet with both hands, right? But holding it with one hand might minimize the appearance of the upper arms," I mused while looking at the photos.

What do you think?

③ Sitting from above

This shot is also a classic for joyce Fashionable Artist♡

You can see the fluffiness of the dress skirt, the bouquet, and the hairstyle... It’s like a photo of a princess.

You can capture all the cherished details like hairstyle, accessories, dress, sash ribbon, and bouquet in such a way that they look “completely cute” — how rare is that?

Peeking at the profile is also cute, right?

You can take this sitting shot even without sitting flat on the ground; sitting on a chair is also possible, so I would want one during the preparation shots with the photographer♡

I want to feel cute, at least on my wedding day.

I think most people feel this way, but I’m really not good at taking photos.

I tend to think, “I don’t want my pictures to remain in the world...” but if I could have photos like those from joyce Fashionable Artist, where my favorite dress and accessories look cute, even if my own presence is subdued, I would want to look back at them countless times.

Photos like these would make me want to display them in a photo frame and treasure them as more than just memories, like precious treasures.♡

So, I analyzed and decided to share this in an article.

For those who aren’t good at taking photos but want to capture beautiful wedding photos, or for those who aren’t bad at photography but want all their cherished items captured well in the photos...

Please use these techniques as inspiration and have photos like joyce Fashionable Artist's taken for you♡
