A Photographer's Request: Capture Dramatic Wedding Photos by Shooting Dresses from Above!

angles for wedding photos.

When it comes to wedding photos... or taking pictures in general, what angle do you point the camera at?

Typically, you would hold the camera horizontally at the same height as the subject's eyes.

Alternatively, if you want to look cute with an upward gaze or while taking a selfie, you would use a higher angle.

For wedding photos, it is also common to shoot from a lower angle to make the train of the dress look impressive.

【I want this too!】I want you to shoot from directly above!

While photos taken from the side or from below are lovely,

changing the perspective slightly and shooting from directly above can be dramatic and beautiful!

Look at this, a photo that looks like a scene from a movie♡

When it comes to wedding photos shot from directly above, the classic is the lying down shot.

However, this time I'd like to recommend a shot taken from directly above while standing normally, not lying down. It captures the volume of the dress beautifully, creating a luxurious feel♡

The rainbow gradient of the rainbow dress looks stunning from this angle♡

I've introduced how to take wedding photos from directly above while standing♡

It can be quite challenging as you’ll need your photographer to climb somewhere or prepare a step ladder, but it's definitely a shot you should request if you have the means.

On the day of the wedding, it may be difficult to find the time for this due to the bustling schedule, so it is recommended to take your time during pre-wedding or post-wedding shoots ♡

Please preserve your beautiful wedding photos♡
