Is your partner in the "It's fine, isn't it?" camp?

Wedding photos are something to be enjoyed and taken together. But there may be brides who have been told by their partner, "Do we really need to do it?" Seeing other brides happily enjoying their pre-wedding photos on Instagram can make you feel sad or even like you're the only one who is enthusiastic.

Since it’s both of your wedding, you want to prepare together happily, right?♩ This time, let's consider ways to convince your partner, who is not very enthusiastic about the photography.

First, let's listen to their reasons♩

The reasons for not being positive about wedding photography likely vary from person to person. Some grooms might worry about the budget, while others might feel "embarrassed." If you don't know why he's against it, you won't be able to understand each other, right?

So, take a moment to calmly listen to his thoughts. He must have his own reasons.

Once you understand why he is not enthusiastic about the shoot, try the following approaches♡

Approach 1: For those who say "I'm embarrassed"...

There are many men who feel embarrassed about taking lovey-dovey photos with their girlfriend or wife! However, because it's such a special event, we'd like them to overcome that embarrassment.

Try talking to him about how special the wedding photos will be for both of you. For example, you can show those loving engagement photos to your future children. You can also convey that “Mommy and Daddy loved each other so much, that's why you were born."

Furthermore, even when you become grandparents, looking back at the engagement photos and wedding photos can revive the feelings of being newlyweds. Share with him that these are important photos to maintain a long-lasting bond as a couple.♡

Approach 2: For those who don't understand the need...

For brides, weddings are often a dream come true. However, some grooms might not have strong feelings about it. In those cases, they might not understand why it's necessary to take wedding photos.

For those who want logical reasons instead of emotional ones, explain logically that "Wedding photos are necessary because we will use them for ○○." For instance, engagement photos or pre-wedding photos are often used in profile books and profile movies. Without beautiful photo data, the design options will be limited.

While showing him articles about marry's profile books, make him understand that “we need engagement photos or pre-wedding photos in order to create beautiful paper items.”

Approach 3: For those worried about the budget...

After the wedding, there are various expenses such as moving, buying household appliances and furniture, and going on a honeymoon. It's possible that he is thinking, "I don't want to spend money on pre-wedding photos," with the future in mind.

A partner with a sound financial sense can be reliable, but the bride's true feelings are that she wants to keep memories with wedding photos, which are once in a lifetime. To convince him, let's find studios where you can have a photoshoot at a low cost and talk to him. There are places where pre-wedding shoots can be done for just a few tens of thousands of yen if you look!

Alternatively, you could consider the trendy "self-shooting" for pre-wedding photos♡ If the bride wears a white dress and a flower crown while the groom coordinates with a shirt and formal pants, you'll be able to capture wonderful photos without spending much money!♩

Also, using wedding photos can allow you to DIY your paper items and welcome boards. When you order these through the venue, it can be quite costly. If you have wedding photos, you can make these items yourself, which can even save you money! Try to convince him of this♡
