What Kind of [Japanese Kimono Pre-Shoot] Will You Have?

For brides who are going to wear a kimono for their pre-shoot or post-shoot!

Have you decided on your shooting poses yet??

Recently, there have been really various types of wedding photo poses and shooting ideas popping up!

Because of that, many brides might find themselves in a state of "I can’t decide on the poses I absolutely want to shootーーー!"

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce 7 carefully selected super cute poses that we want all couples who are doing a kimono pre-shoot to try out♩

Cute Kimono Pre-Shoot Pose ① Seiza Shot

If you're doing a kimono pre-shoot, this is a must! The seiza pose cannot be missed＊

The trick to making the seiza pose look cute is to take the photo with a big smile♩

It’s also good to capture the surrounding location, so we recommend having the shot taken from a slightly further away perspective rather than up close＊

Cute Kimono Pre-Shoot Pose ② Back Shot

A shot that many brides regret not having is this full-body back shot, which captures from head to toe＊

Since you hardly ever get to see your own back, let’s make sure to have it well photographed on this special day♡

The image of you walking has a lovely natural and simple vibe♡

Cute Kimono Pre-Shoot Pose ③ Kiss Shot Behind a Fan

Another cute idea is to take a hidden kiss shot with the traditional shooting item, a fan in hand♡

It’s stylish how the fans overlap to form a perfect semi-circle＊

The point that makes your heart flutter is that the couple's hands overlap on top of the fan♡

Cute Kimono Pre-Shoot Pose ④ Close-Up of Hands

A close-up shot focusing solely on your hands is another pose to capture for a kimono pre-shoot＊

When taking this photo, have the groom gently wrap the bride from behind while softly placing his hand...♡

Holding small items such as "For You" charms available at Nogi Shrine adds to the cuteness♩

Cute Kimono Pre-Shoot Pose ⑤ Holding Shichi-Go-San Photos

If you each have photos from your childhood Shichi-Go-San celebrations, taking a shoot that highlights those photos is wonderful♡

Ask the photographer to focus on the Shichi-Go-San photos while slightly blurring the background characters, capturing the lovely moment of the couple gazing at each other and smiling＊

Cute Kimono Pre-Shoot Pose ⑥ Dango Shot under Cherry Blossoms

Discovering wedding photos where a couple feeds each other three-color dango under a cherry blossom tree is delightful♡

This bride captured the entire process from being fed to happily taking a bite in her photos＊

It truly embodies "dango over flowers" in the context of a kimono pre-shoot♡

Cute Kimono Pre-Shoot Pose ⑦ Nosh Shot

The last pose to introduce is a photo wrapped in a large nosh (decorative wrapping for gifts)♡

Nosh refers to paper attached to auspicious gifts＊

So, this pose where the nosh wraps around your body seems very auspicious and has a fantastic impact!

It’s also great that it can be easily made with a sheet of craft paper♩
