Let's Create a "Photo Instruction Sheet" for Capturing Once-in-a-Lifetime Moments ♡

The wedding day is a special day that happens only once in a lifetime ♡ Every moment is a precious instant, but let's create a "Photo Instruction Sheet" in advance for the photographer to ensure the scenes you especially want to be captured are well documented ♩

Here are some suggestions for the content of the "Photo Instruction Sheet" during the reception＊

Content of the "Photo Instruction Sheet" during the Reception ① Venue Flower Arrangements＊

The only one who can take photos before the guests enter the reception venue is the photographer!＊ The guest tables, filled with paper items and accessories created during the engagement period, should be beautifully arranged before the food and drinks are served. Let's ask the photographer to stylishly capture all of these items so that they are recorded for posterity ♡

If you want to have the flowers on the head table photographed, it's recommended to get a shot from the couple’s side ♩ Since the guest side would capture guests in the photo too, photos taken from this angle are special＊ Capturing from the angle where you were sitting can help you remember that day, which is wonderful ♡

Content of the "Photo Instruction Sheet" during the Reception ② Entrance of the Couple＊

If you want a photo taken from an angle not visible to the guests, the back view before the entrance is a great choice ♡ There are not many photos clearly showing the dress's train, making this shot quite precious ♩ The moment the doors open is also very emotional to capture ♡

If you prefer a photo where the couple's faces are visible during the entrance scene, ask the photographer to be positioned right in front of the entrance doors ♩ The time when the couple is facing forward before they start walking is very brief, so it's a good idea to request it in advance＊

I also want photos taken during the speeches by the honored guests or during the toast＊ It's important to capture not just the speaker or the couple, but everyone together in the frame ♡

The moment of the toast to kick off the reception ♡ It’s wonderful to capture the couple's natural expressions like this ♩

If you are particular about the toast glasses or champagne, it might be nice to have close-up photos of the details＊ Since these intimate shots can't be captured by the guests, be sure to ask the photographer for them ♩

The "Cake Cutting" is one of the most photo-op moments during the reception, as it's a scene that all guests will capture, and it’s also guaranteed to be photographed by the photographer＊

It's also important to ask to capture the moments when guests are smiling and watching the couple ♡ Seeing everyone enjoying themselves brings joy, doesn't it?♩ While guests will take photos of the couple, fewer people will take candid shots of the guests, so be sure to request this from the photographer!

After the cake cutting, we have the "First Bite." This scene is one that you definitely want to capture in photos ♡ Getting close to the couple to capture their expressions is wonderful＊ Don't forget to have someone shoot a video at the same time!

Capturing the first bite scene from an angle that all guests can see would be unique and great ♩ You can see the expressions of the guests, helping to recall the fun you all had together ♡

Content of the "Photo Instruction Sheet" during the Reception ⑦ Intermission＊

The scene of taking an intermission for a change of attire＊ Recently, it’s common to surprise guests by inviting them to leave together ♩ The time for exiting is quick, so it's important to capture that best shot! Let's make sure to get a stunning smile in that moment ♩

If you exit with family members, it can create an emotional scene ♡ Walking with family while in a wedding dress may never happen again, so it's a moment that must be captured beautifully!＊

Content of the "Photo Instruction Sheet" during the Reception ⑧ Bride’s Letter＊

The climax of the reception＊ It's rare to have a photo taken from behind during the bride's letter reading ♡ Since the photographer can move freely, capturing the overall venue through the bride could be nice too ♩

@mi_k.a3

At the close of the ceremony, there is often a gifting of mementos or bouquets to the parents ♡ Don’t forget to make sure that lovely emotional moments are captured with family in the frame as well!

Create a "Photo Instruction Sheet" and Have a Regret-Free Wedding ♡

Weddings are truly happy and enjoyable times ♡ Such moments pass by in an instant. To remember these wonderful times after the ceremony, create a "Photo Instruction Sheet" to ensure that all moments are beautifully captured in photos ♩
