"Have You Heard of 'Bride Photographers' Instead of Child Photographers? Snapping Away at the Takasago and Table Rounds!"

I've heard of kid photographers, but what is a bride photographer???

It's become a standard to provide "kid photographers" at weddings, so that young guests won't get bored during the event. By giving them instant cameras as toys, they can play without fussing. From the bride's perspective, it also allows her to capture fresh photos from a child's viewpoint, making it a win-win performance♩

So, do you know what a "bride photographer" is...???

What is a "Bride Photographer"??

As the name suggests, a bride photographer is when the bride herself becomes the photographer!

It doesn't refer to a photographer for the bride... Instead, it describes the bride taking photos of the wedding scenes and guests during her own wedding ceremony ♡

Now, let's consider why a bride, who is supposed to be the main focus and typically the one being photographed, would need to hold a camera and what the benefits of being a bride photographer are.*

Benefit 1 of Being a Bride Photographer: Capturing Photos from the Top Table

While many guests and professional photographers take photos at weddings, those are all from the guests' perspectives. Guests rarely come to the top table, and photographers can't sit at the top table either. So only the bride can capture photos from her seated perspective.

It's precious to document the favorite reception venue, the carefully chosen decorations, and all the guests who came together for this day.

Only the bride can photograph this scene from the top table's viewpoint, and this view is extremely valuable and memorable, making it natural to want to preserve the sights of this moment.*

Benefit 2 of Being a Bride Photographer: Showcasing Your True Self

Women love to take photos, right? Many people tend to photograph wherever they go or whatever they eat!

Therefore, it may be nice to show just a little bit of that side of yourself during the wedding and keep some pictures that reflect your true self.*

While photos with a formal and special ambiance can certainly be beautiful, being in an extraordinary space can highlight "your usual self"!

Even though you're in the reception venue wearing a wedding dress as the bride and groom, let's show your true self♩

And that moment should definitely be captured by someone! It will surely be an adorable moment♡

Benefit 3 of Being a Bride Photographer: Capturing the Photos You Love

The day of your wedding will never come back. Brides who have strong preferences will likely have a strong desire to preserve specific types of photos.

It's a bit concerning to ask guests or photographers to take those photos. Since you understand your ideal vision best, if there are specific angles or scenes you want to capture, it might be faster to take them yourself?!

The ability to capture photos from the bride's viewpoint is a significant advantage of being a bride photographer.*

<Caution> What to Be Careful About When Being a Bride Photographer...???

Cameras for bride photographers are often secretly placed at the top table in advance, hidden in the bride's clutch bag, or handed over by an assistant at the right timing.

It's a very fun and memorable performance, but it is essential to remember that this is still part of the performance. The bride's role at the wedding is as the main character and host.

To entertain guests, she must ensure that various arrangements proceed smoothly, so being a bride photographer should not interfere with the flow of the event.

For example, if the bride becomes so engrossed in taking photos that she cannot move on to the next part, or if guests have to wait, it could extend the reception and make everyone leave later, which would be a problem.

While enjoying being a bride photographer, let's not forget the behavior expected of the bride♩

I Want to Capture the Moments of Being a Bride Photographer♡

While I have shared three benefits of being a bride photographer, I believe the most significant feature is "the ability to have someone capture photos of you as a bride, holding a camera and taking pictures."*

Wearing a pure white wedding dress is already special and beautiful, but there aren’t many moments when you would be poised with a camera in such attire, so having someone capture that instant would surely create a fun and amusing shot, don’t you think?

The moments of being a bride photographer combine the extraordinary aspect of a very special bride and the unusual scenario of her taking photos, creating an amusingly unique moment♡

Be sure to prepare a camera at the top table and have the photographer or guests capture one or two moments of you taking photos! ♡
