What is Photo Shooting?

Have you ever heard of the term "Photo Shooting"?

In a broad sense, "Photo Shooting" means "taking photographs," but...

Among brides, it is mainly used to refer to "photography on the day of the wedding" ♩

In other words, Photo Shooting involves having photographs taken on the wedding day while dressed in a tuxedo and gown at the photo spots of the wedding venue.

☑ Time before the ceremony begins

☑ Between the ceremony and the reception

☑ After the reception ends and the guests have left

Many venues seem to conduct photo shoots during these little time slots.

Since the photo shoot takes place in the limited time available, moving from one location to another, you cannot carry a lot of props or attempt difficult photos that take time,

but you can still have plenty of wedding photos taken.

Differences between Photo Shooting and Pre-Shooting!

After reading this, many brides might wonder, "How is that different from a pre-shoot?"

Brides who have already conducted pre-shoots at the wedding venue, taking photos in places like chapels or gardens, especially feel this way.

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce two unique charms of Photo Shooting on the day of the wedding that differ from standard shooting ♡

Charm of Photo Shooting 1: Venue Decor

One major difference between Photo Shooting and Pre-Shooting is that you can take photos with the decorations of the wedding venue on the day of the wedding as a background.

There are many photo spots that can only be photographed on the wedding day, such as handmade photo booths, meticulously decorated head tables, and welcome spaces ♡

Newlyweds who pre-shot at the wedding venue will likely be experiencing photographs taken in a venue decorated just for them for the first time.

Not only chapels and gardens as photo spots, but photo shooting in the beautifully decorated reception venue with fresh flowers is also recommended ♡

You can take lots of pictures at the head table during the reception, but you can’t pose freely and retake numerous times while neglecting the guests.

Therefore, it is recommended to take plenty of photos during the Photo Shooting time ♡

Since the head table is specially decorated, you should utilize the Photo Shooting to capture many memories＊

Charm of Photo Shooting 2: Together with Family and Friends ♡

Being able to take pictures with bridesmaids and family is one of the charms of Photo Shooting.

Don’t just rely on the photos taken during the reception, but also ask your family and friends who want to pose perfectly if they would like to join the Photo Shooting.

It may feel burdensome to involve family and friends in a pre-shoot, but,

on the day of the wedding, just having them come a little early or stay a bit after the reception will suffice ♡

(Be sure to consult with the planner or photographer in advance before inviting your family and friends＊)

Looking Forward to the Photo Shooting ♡

We introduced the charms of Photo Shooting, which involves taking photographs on the day of the wedding.

By the time of the wedding, create a guide on where you want to be photographed and what poses you want, and be well prepared ♡
