I Want to Take Wedding Photos with a Balloon Release ♡
Do you know what "balloon release" is? ♡ A balloon release is a popular performance after the ceremony where all wedding participants, including the bride and groom and guests, hold balloons and release them into the sky at the same time. It is a ceremony to celebrate the newly recognized couple as husband and wife.*
Colorful balloons are just cute by themselves, so every girl loves them ♡ And of course, the moment many balloons are released and float away into the sky is the best photo opportunity! You can take adorable pictures no matter how you capture it, so I really recommend it ♡
Additionally, since a balloon release only truly succeeds when everyone does it together, it creates a warm feeling of unity among the host and guests, which adds to everyone's memories.*
Capturing the moment when colorful balloons carry your wishes up into the sky will create wonderful memories, right? ♡ Here are three ideas for balloon release photos! ♪
Photo Idea 1: *Balloon × Sky*
First, here's the classic way to take balloon release photos! A shot of colorful balloons soaring into the blue sky with sunlight streaming in is simply beautiful. ♡ It looks like the balloons are being drawn into the sky...* Make sure to create a "teru teru bozu" for clear weather on the ceremony day! ♡
To enhance the photo quality of the balloon release, choosing the right balloons is also important! I want to focus on color and shape! ♡ Heart-shaped balloons represent "may our love spread into the sky," which is lovely.*
For Disney-loving brides-to-be, how about using Mickey balloons for the release? ♡ The colorful Mickey balloons are just too cute!*
Photo Idea 2: *Balloon × Venue or Landmark*
The venue where you hold your wedding will become a significant memory for both of you, right? ♡ A collaboration photo featuring the balloons and your memorable location is a must-have shot! ♡
If your venue has an open ceiling, there are places where you can do a balloon release in the courtyard. ♡ The feeling of balloons being released outside the venue is wonderful!
If there are tourist attractions near the venue, you could also consider this kind of photo! Here’s a collaboration of Kobe’s Port Tower and balloons. ♡ It's easy to tell where you got married at a glance, which I recommend!*
Photo Idea 3: *Balloon × Bride and Groom or Guests*
Let’s capture the smiles of the bride, groom, and guests along with the balloons! ♩ This is a shot capturing the moment of the balloon release. ♡ While wishing, "may our happiness reach the heavens," you're smiling as you release the balloons.*
The moment of the vow kiss, with guests who were watching the ceremony sitting, releasing balloons into the sky all at once! The joy of becoming united as a couple must be so moving that it gives you goosebumps!*
You’re sure to capture wonderful shots no matter where you take them. But since the balloons will fly away in an instant, be sure not to miss that precious moment! ♡
