Excellent Item "Blackboard" ♡
I would recommend a photo prop for brides-to-be who are about to have pre-wedding photos or a wedding.
That item is this "Blackboard." It's what we call a chalkboard.*
You often see wonderful pre-wedding photos with blackboards on Instagram, right? ♡
With a blackboard that you can write and erase on multiple times, you can take various patterns of wedding photos with just one board! ♡
Additionally, after the pre-wedding shoot, you can DIY it for an entry sign or welcome board, which is a great charm!
It's truly a two-for-one item! ♡
What kind of wedding photos can you take? ♡
How can you use a blackboard to take cute photos? Let’s look at pre-wedding photos from experienced brides for inspiration! ♩
Lastly, I will introduce some recommended blackboards that you can purchase online.*
Photography Idea Using a Blackboard ①
The first idea is an adorable face-hidden shot using a blackboard!*
Hold up a blackboard with "GROOM" and "BRIDE" written in white chalk in front of your face for the photo. ♡
Face-hidden shots are recommended for the opening movie's starting scene or the cover of a profile book. It draws out the excitement of guests wanting to see your faces soon! ♩
Photography Idea Using a Blackboard ②
A perspective shot with the blackboard! The couple coordinated in white appears blurry in the background.
Since the initials of the bride and groom are H and W, the initials for "Happy Wedding" are highlighted in yellow.
One of the charms of a chalkboard is enjoying free design like this easily!*
Photography Idea Using a Blackboard ③
It’s also common to prepare two blackboards and pose holding one each. Popular phrases to write on the blackboards include "Will you marry me?" "yeah," or "I love you" "I know." ♡
Think together with your partner about what phrases would be nice! ♩
It’s also fine to rewrite during the shoot and capture various patterns.*
