"Since there are partitions... Maybe it's better for guests to come up to the head table for the group photo instead of taking it at their tables?"

Group Photo, Acrylic Panel in the Way....

Guests invited to a wedding are truly important people in one's life.

Since all those important people are coming to celebrate the beginning of your new life, you want to properly capture those memories in photos, right?♡

But.

The wedding program can be quite busy... When there are many guests, the best time to take photos with each of them is during the table rounds, but....

Recently, due to measures against the coronavirus, acrylic panels have been installed on guest tables.

Some people express their dislike for taking group photos because they don't want the acrylic panels in the picture...

That's understandable.

If possible, it would definitely be better without acrylic panels, right...?!

How about having guests come to you instead of going around the tables??

If you want to take photos with guests without having the acrylic panels in the frame!

As a solution, there’s this method ♩

Instead of going around each table to take a group photo, invite guests to the top table and take pictures there...

In the normal flow of a wedding, whether or not guests go to the top table is entirely up to them.

Friends usually come to the top table, so there are often commemorative photos taken there, but for family and relatives, there's typically no group photo at the top table... (They may not have come at all.)

However, if the emcee announces, “For photo shooting, please gather at the top table, starting with table ◯◯,” everyone will come to the top table, allowing you to take photos in a space without partitions♡

(Though one might question the purpose of the acrylic panels itself, whether they are effective is a point that deserves discussion...!)

It’s good to have a format where they come to you instead of going to them♡

A commemorative photo with guests at the wedding.

The idea of having everyone come to our location instead of us going around during the table rounds makes you think, "Why hasn’t this been done before?"

It feels like something simple that has been rare until now.

(Some people seem to create photobooth-like spaces within the reception hall where guests can gather and take beautiful photos, too!♡

It started as a way to avoid partitions during the pandemic, but this method of taking group photos is quite good, right?♡

It seems like a good idea to know this as a potential option＊
