I Definitely Want to Capture Wonderful Moments in Photos!
Weddings are filled with so many wonderful moments ♡ Of course, you want to capture the best shots of the bride and groom, but you also want to take photos with the guests and your family, capturing various expressions ♡
This time, I will introduce shutter opportunities for the must-have best shots during the ceremony and reception, by scene ♩
【Shutter Opportunity During the Ceremony①*Entrance of the Bride and Father!】
The bride and groom take many photos during the wedding and pre-wedding shoots, right? Since the bride and groom are the main characters, having plenty of photos of them is a must! But as we grow up, the opportunities to take photos with our dads decrease! So, the entrance of the bride with her father is a perfect shutter opportunity ♡
You can capture various moments, from nervous expressions to sad looks ♩ It’s an emotional scene as the bride walks down the aisle to meet the groom. The bride stepping into a new path and the father sending her off—do not forget to capture their backs as well!!
【Shutter Opportunity During the Ceremony②*The Vow Kiss♡】
The vow kiss scene is a classic shutter opportunity, isn’t it? It’s nice to photograph just the two of them, but including the aisle can create a romantic shot like a scene from a movie ♡♡
The moment the groom lifts the veil is wonderful too ♡ I believe the groom always has a gentle expression when lifting the veil!! It’s definitely a shot you want to capture, one that you dreamed of as a child*
Just before the vow kiss!! The expressions of the two showing nervousness and shyness are also a shutter opportunity! As Japanese people, we are not accustomed to kissing in front of others, so even though we know it's a ceremony, we feel shy ♡ It’s a precious shot that can only be taken on that day ♩
【Shutter Opportunity After the Ceremony①*Flower Shower】
A flower shower with cute little flowers definitely creates a joyful shot! To capture the best shot, make sure to continuously shoot ♡ You should be able to capture the biggest smiles as the bride and groom exit the chapel!
Surrounded by little flowers, the bride and groom look too cool and too cute ♡ Make sure to include the friends showering them with smiles too!!
Recently, many beautiful dresses also look great from the back ♩ So be sure to capture shots from behind actively ♡ A shot of family showering the couple with flowers will also become a precious one♡
【Shutter Opportunity After the Ceremony②*Bouquet Toss♡】
Lastly is the bouquet toss!! The tension of the bouquet toss is a fun kind of tension ♩ It’s cute to capture the expressions of wondering where to throw it~
It’s also nice to shoot the bouquet toss from above! The moment of competition among women saying, "Next is me!" is a scene you rarely get to see! Shooting from above will capture the expressions of the groom, bride, and friends together!
Capturing the bride head-on is also great ♩ Photos showcasing the dynamic moment of her throwing the bouquet high will turn out wonderful ♩ It’s perfect to focus on the bride while taking this shot♡
【Shutter Opportunity During the Reception①*First Bite♩】
The first bite, where the bride and groom feed each other cake, is said to be the best shutter opportunity during the reception ♡ Recently, it’s common for the bride to feed the groom a cake so large that it doesn’t fit in his mouth, bringing laughter from the guests ♩ You’re sure to see the bride’s adorable smile as she laughs from the heart!
The groom's expression as he hastily eats too much cake will definitely become a memory ♡ You’ll probably be able to capture best shots overflowing with fun and happiness from any angle!
Isn’t it cute to take a shot of them scooping cake together? You can almost hear their conversation from the photo, "How much should we eat?" "What should we do?"*
【Shutter Opportunity During the Reception②*Entertainment】
The expressions of the bride and groom while their close friends, colleagues, or bosses are performing are likely to show various feelings such as laughter and tears ♡ And above all, they’re in their natural state, so don’t miss these moments!!!
This is the moment of laughter and tears ♡ The mixture of joy and emotion on the bride's face is so natural and cute ♩
Of course, capturing the bride and groom enjoying the entertainment together is a must! Focusing on either one while taking the shot is also very stylish ♩
Summary of Must-Capture Shutter Opportunities by Scene*
Even within a single scene, you can capture various photos through different angles and moments ♡ It’s great to capture natural expressions too! You can decide in advance which shots you want to take! Make sure to take lots of photos and preserve wonderful best shots ♩
