Do You Need Props for Pre-Wedding Photos?

To all the soon-to-be brides who are preparing for their pre-wedding shoot.

Are you planning to prepare some props for your pre-wedding photo session?

Until recently, it was common to bring a lot of DIY props to the studio...

However, natural wedding photos without props have also been on the rise lately.

That said, the pre-wedding photo session usually lasts 2 to 3 hours, which is quite lengthy.

Some may lack confidence in striking various poses, and having shooting props can be reassuring!

In this article, we will introduce items that have become popular in recent pre-wedding shoots.

Let’s prepare some trendy props for a stylish pre-wedding photo shoot ♡

Latest! Stylish Pre-Wedding Prop ① Leaves

In location photos, using natural items like leaves and flower petals as props is stylish.

In spring, you can use cherry blossom petals, in summer, green leaves, and in autumn, colorful foliage. You can also create a seasonal ambiance.

When using leaves, writing phrases like "just married" or "she said yes" with a pen adds a nice touch ♡

This gives a vibe reminiscent of overseas wedding photos.

Latest! Stylish Pre-Wedding Prop ② Chair Signs

Chair signs are a wedding item that originated overseas.

These are the "Groom" and "Bride" signs that adorn the backs of the chairs where the couple sits during the wedding.

In Japan, since the bride and groom sit at the high table, chair signs haven't been widely adopted until now...

However, they have become popular as photo shoot props, looking cute when held like this!

Solo shots with chair signs are also easy to use as photo materials for profile books, profile movies, and reception signs ♩

Latest! Stylish Pre-Wedding Prop ③ Wedding Veil

Although it's not a prop specifically for shooting, wedding veils also play a significant role in pre-wedding photos.

Many brides only wear their wedding veil during the ceremony, but it would be great if they would bring it to the pre-wedding shoot ♡

You can capture romantic photos like this, with the veil gently blowing in the wind.

Photos taken from under the wedding veil are also dreamy and beautiful.

Many photo studios offer wedding veils for rent, but if you're hiring an individual photographer, you may need to purchase one and bring it yourself.

It's best to confirm in advance!

A photo frame containing childhood photos or Shichi-Go-San photos. This is a popular prop for traditional pre-wedding shoots.
