Do You Need Studio Photos on Your Wedding Day? Reasons Why It's Better to Hire a Professional Studio.

Should You Take "Studio Photos" on Your Wedding Day?

Are you planning to take studio photos on your wedding day? Some brides might say, "I absolutely want to take them because they are classic photos!" while others might feel, "I don't want studio photos that look just like traditional wedding pictures because I usually end up making weird faces."

Whether studio photography is included in the wedding venue's package depends on the venue, but often it is an optional service, and most of the time, it can be quite expensive.

Recently, many brides seem to prefer using that budget for upgrading other items (like food, drinks, flowers, or attire) instead of studio photos, but I strongly believe that you should absolutely take studio photos. This time, I will share the reasons why you should take studio photos!

Reason to Take Studio Photos 1: They are Keepsakes

The best thing about studio photos is that they serve as a keepsake. Wedding photos taken in a traditional studio backdrop will be an invaluable treasure.

Didn’t you take commemorative photos during your childhood, such as at entrance ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, or coming-of-age ceremonies?

It feels somewhat sad not to take commemorative photos at such a significant milestone like your wedding.

Until now, your parents have properly taken photos for you, but from now on, you will take them for yourselves, show them to your parents, and also take pictures of your children. Your parents will surely be happy to see commemorative photos of their beloved daughter or son!

Reason to Take Studio Photos 2: You Can Show Them to Future Children and Grandchildren (for Comparison)

The second reason to take studio photos is that you can show them to your future children and grandchildren.

Of course, you can show them data or albums, but there's something special about properly taken studio photos.

Additionally, it can be fun to compare them with your parents' or grandparents' wedding commemorative photos. It also provides a way to show your children and grandchildren that "Mom and Dad had a proper wedding," so you’ll want to keep them!

Reason to Take Studio Photos 3: You Can Capture Your Full Body Beautifully

A point to note is that studio photos can beautifully capture your full body. It can surprisingly be difficult to get a good full-body shot during a wedding due to the flow of events.

For example, while you are walking, if other people are in the frame, if the background is subtle, or if it's just a bust shot, it’s hard to get full-body photos!

Therefore, I recommend capturing a complete full-body photo in the studio.
