What I Want to Tell Photographers: Adorable Photos with Guests I Want to Capture in Takasago! ♡

Ordinary Takasago photos are boring!

During the reception, you want to take as many photos with guests as possible to create memories, right? ♡

During the table rounds, there’s often just enough time for one shot per table, making it tough to take individual shots like "Just with you, [name]!" So, it's recommended to promise your must-have guests, "Let's take a photo here at this moment!"＊

In that case, the usual place to take photos during the reception is the Takasago. The bride and groom usually sit at the Takasago except during performance and table round times, and they surely want to capture many photos with their favorite decorations at the Takasago. ♡

There's nothing more delightful than guests coming forward and saying, "Let's take a photo!" during the reception!＊

However, when guests come to the Takasago for photos, it can be quite difficult to come up with a pose on the spot...!

If you haven't prepared anything, your photos might end up looking like those stiff group shots from school trips, where everyone stands still or does a peace sign.

(Don't you often see such photos popping up on Facebook...? Or incredibly silly photos...!)

To avoid that, it's essential to clearly communicate the desired poses, atmosphere, angles, and scenes to your friends or photographer in advance.＊

Creating an object with paper napkin flowers is much harder the bigger it is. It's definitely worth taking photos like this to celebrate the effort put into it! ♩

This one is very natural, an off-shot photographer's data.＊

The staff member is capturing the bride and groom at the Takasago along with the guests, and the photographer shot this "photo-in-photo." ♩

It's truly delightful and touching to have such natural scene photos to look back on.◎

Fun and cute! Leave behind your favorite Takasago group photos! ♡

The Takasago photos taken with guests can sometimes seem a bit too ordinary and less modern, don't you think?

Guests often hesitate about how silly they can be at a wedding, thinking "The bride is the main character!" and might hold back, which can lead to stiff, unflattering shots.

If a bride doesn't like giving directions on the spot, thinking it feels undignified... then it's a good idea to communicate your wishes to the photographer, so they can direct instead. ♡

In that case, it's crucial to have a specific image of what kind of photos you want and show actual images as references!

You’ve put so much thought into the Takasago, and your guests have come together. May you capture wonderful photos full of memories that encompass everything in the frame! ♩
