Let's Take a Shot of You Lying on Your Stomach♡

A popular lying-down shot among brides ♡ The classic composition features the bride lying on her back with her dress laid out like a carpet from above＊

The allure lies in the fluffy feel of the dress and the ability to sprinkle your favorite shooting props around!

But...... the lying-down shot is not just that; there’s another variation to capture!

Here’s the lying-down shot version where the bride is on her stomach♡

@yuyu_wd

Just pose with your tummy flat on the floor and rest your cheek on your hand, and you’re all set＊

This type of wedding photo features a natural look as if you’re relaxing at home and conveys the closeness between the couple♡

Such lying-on-stomach shots seem particularly popular in locations like chapel aisles and parks!

Here are some tips for capturing the lying-on-stomach shot that you definitely want to try out during pre-weddings or post-weddings♩

Lying Down Shot Version 1＊

The first shot to introduce is one taken on a blue wedding aisle while lying down♡

The groom is stylishly resting one hand on his cheek, while the bride adorably rests both hands on hers, which is lovely!

It’s also nice that the ambiance and decorations around them are subtly conveyed＊

Lying Down Shot Version 2＊

We discovered a lying-down shot with an initial object placed in front of the couple!

Just like this bride, if you wrap your cheeks with both hands, it adds a feminine touch that’s cute♡

Tilting your faces slightly toward each other is also a good point＊

Lying Down Shot Version 3＊

Here’s another charming lying-down shot where the bride playfully pokes her husband’s cheek♩

The close distance between the couple allows for cute, intimate moments to be captured in the photos, which is delightful!＊

Lying Down Shot Version 4＊

This one features a closer shot while lying down＊

Instead of resting the chin, holding a Woody and Jessie plush toy adds a unique point to the photo♡

The welcome dolls, Duffy and ShellieMay, are also placed there, making it feel like a family photo♩

Lying Down Shot Version 5＊

A wedding photo that intentionally doesn’t place the couple in the center but at the edge of the frame＊

If the wedding aisle is made of marble or glass, having the couple's reflection on the floor like this is quite romantic♡

The scene of them chatting also conveys a friendly vibe♩

Lying Down Shot Version 6＊

A lying-down shot decorated with LOVE objects and Mickey and Minnie plush toys around the couple is also incredibly cute♡

The dreamlike ambiance of the chapel is beautiful, and the couple leaning their faces together looks extremely happy!

The hand pose on the cheek is also great for a small face effect♩

Lying Down Shot Version 7＊

A wedding photo focused not on the couple but on the initial object in the foreground was also discovered＊

The blurred couple lying in the background creates a lovely vibe♡

Capturing a photograph with a sense of perspective is a double bonus that makes us happy!

Lying Down Shot Version 8＊

The pose with the bride resting her arms on the floor and peeking at him from below is also cute♡

It captures the essence of the couple relaxing while watching TV at home♩

Seeing the fluffy part of the wedding dress in the background is also adorable＊

Lying Down Shot Version 9＊

While the standard lying-down shot features the couple facing the same direction (towards the camera),

a lying-down shot with their bodies turned toward each other is also rare and beautiful!

Holding hands creates a love-filled world for the two of them♡

Added Lying Down Shot (Stomach Version) to Instructions!

Here we introduced a lying-on-stomach shot taken by a senior bride＊

It wonderfully conveys the couple’s closeness and natural atmosphere while also showcasing the bride’s fluffy, poofy dress behind her as a cute point♡

If you think "this angle is beautiful," senior brides should add this shot to the pre-wedding and post-wedding instructions right now!
