Wedding Cake Cutting and First Bite 🎂🥄
One of the highlights of the reception, the moment of cutting the wedding cake and the first bite.
Whether it’s from the photographer’s data or photos taken by guests, this composition from the front or slightly from the side is the classic shot, right?
I want to capture photos from behind! *
But!
It’s also recommended to ask the photographer in advance to capture the moment of the first bite from behind the bride and groom.
By having them shoot from behind, guests' faces can be included in the shot, which is a nice touch♡
If taken with a wide-angle, it almost includes nearly everyone in the venue!
Isn’t it amazing to capture a group shot (or something like that) in this scene…?
It’s nice to see later what kind of expressions the guests had while witnessing the first bite, and to realize how close they were sitting.
You can also see the floral arrangements and the atmosphere of the venue.
Let’s include it in the shooting instructions for the day!
There are brides who reported, “I really wanted this shot!!!” about getting the first bite from behind the bride and groom, so it should turn out to be a valuable and satisfying shot.
If you have two photographers, it should definitely get captured.
Even with one, since the first bite happens twice—from the bride to the groom and then from the groom to the bride—you might want to include it in the shooting instructions and ask for it to be captured too.*
