Unique Calligraphy Shots for Pre-wedding Photos in Traditional Japanese Attire ♡
Brides-to-be, have you solidified your image of what shots you want to take during your pre-wedding shoot in traditional attire?
One shot you definitely want to capture is a [calligraphy shot], like the one in this photo ♡
It's a wedding photo unique to traditional attire, featuring calligraphy of your favorite words*
The classic shots include phrases like "We got married" or "Happy New Year," where the couple poses happily together...
However, recent calligraphy shots have evolved to be even more unique and adorable ♡
Here are some wonderful [calligraphy shots] I found on Instagram ♩

The bride and groom holding up calligraphy of their individual goals. Don’t you think it’s new and creative to have calligraphy scattered randomly in the background too? ♡
Their expressions suggest they are asking each other, "Can we really do this?," which is cute and lovely*

A calligraphy shot featuring the characters "夫" (husband) and "婦" (wife). This part is standard, but...
Look closely at the couple's knees! There’s a long piece of calligraphy saying "We have" and "become"!
Together it reads, "We have become husband and wife." It’s a fresh and wonderful idea to create a sentence using calligraphy ♩

Expressing messages to each other or heartfelt feelings through calligraphy is also lovely.
If you're using English phrases as photo props, straightforward expressions of affection like "I love you!" can be captured, but opportunities to express thoughts in Japanese like this are quite rare.
Choose words that represent the two of you well ♡

It’s common to see just the bride and groom's calligraphy shots, but having the whole family holding calligraphy is quite rare*
If the bride has family coming to witness her pre-wedding shoot, she should definitely prepare for this ♩
