A Group Photo is a Must-Have Shot!
When it comes to wedding group photos, it's a joyful picture taken with all guests surrounding the bride and groom.*
A group photo where everyone’s face is visible and captures the memories is definitely one of those shots that should be preserved.♩
However, group photos tend to end up feeling stiff. It's difficult to achieve a natural smile when everyone is facing the front and the photographer says, “Smile!”
There are countless experiences of getting a weird face captured while you’re hesitating, wondering, “Is it okay to do a peace sign?” and then the photo gets taken unexpectedly…
How About Taking a Cute “Blindfold Shot” for Your Group Photo? ♡
Since group photos often end up feeling stiff, how about trying this kind of shot?
The shot involves everyone wearing blindfolds while the bride and groom share a kiss, making for a slightly playful and romantic picture. ♡
Now, let's dive into the charm of the blindfold shot! ♡
Reason 1 for Taking a Group Photo with a Blindfold Shot: Everyone Participates (in a Fun Way)!
The main appeal of the blindfold shot is that it can be a fun experience for everyone involved. *
Normally, group photos feel formal, but when suddenly asked to “please blindfold yourselves with your hands!” it’s surprising and makes you curious about what’s happening.
It’s guaranteed to hype up the guests with questions like “What’s going to happen next?” ♡ The atmosphere of collaboratively creating the group photo instead of just standing in front of the camera is wonderful too!
The stiff atmosphere of the group photo is sure to lighten up in no time. ♩
Reason 2 for Taking a Group Photo with a Blindfold Shot: The Anticipation of the Photos Afterward!
When guests blindfold themselves for a photo, it makes the anticipation of seeing the developed photos even more delightful. ◎
You might think, “I wonder how it turned out, considering we blindfolded ourselves...,” and when you receive the pictures, seeing the bride and groom kissing in the center will definitely surprise you! *
You might find yourself exclaiming, “Oh, so that’s what happened!” ♡
Reason 3 for Taking a Group Photo with a Blindfold Shot: Each Character Shines Through, Making It Fun! ♡
Lastly, the charm of the blindfold shot lies in how the unique personalities of the guests shine through, making it entertaining. *
You might see one of the groom’s friends peeking through his hands, or the bride's father turning away while blindfolded, or the bride's friend pointing with “Ah!” while blindfolded...
It’s amusing to catch glimpses of personalities that you wouldn't normally see in a traditional group photo. ♡
