Here are some recommended angles to definitely include in the instructions for the photographer!

【Bride's Letter】 Composition to Include in the Instructions 1

A classic shot from the front where the expressions of the bride and groom can be clearly seen is a must-have photo*

Make sure to request two patterns: a bust-up shot of the upper body and a wide shot that captures the full body♩

It would be lovely to have a photo capturing the couple from behind, taken from behind the main table by the photographer♡

It's a nice touch to see the lighting and the guests’ expressions, giving a sense of the venue overall◎

A shot through decorative items like greenery and lights in the foreground is also a great find*

By focusing only on the couple in the background, it instantly creates a stylish and moody atmosphere♡

【Bride's Letter】 Composition to Include in the Instructions 4

It’s typical for the bride to read her letter standing in front of the main table*

Thus, if the bride has put effort into the main table decoration, it’s also recommended to capture the flowers and backdrop♩

Overall, this will result in very vibrant photos♡

While front and back shots are must-have photos, we also want to capture shots from the side♡

It’s adorable to see accessories like headpieces and earrings and the softness of loose hair*

During the reading of the bride's letter, both families’ parents stand in a line against the wall*

So, taking a photo that includes the whole family would be wonderful, don’t you think?

It will be exciting to see the expressions of the parents as they listened when the data arrives♩

A classic angle is also a close-up shot of the bride's hands holding the carefully written letter♡

It's sure to capture the bridal nails and wedding ring beautifully, resulting in a sophisticated and elegant photo♩

Another classic is an angle where the groom wraps his hand around the bride's waist for support, making it supremely romantic*

This is a photo that conveys his kindness and warmth♩

Many grooms seem to forget to wrap their hand around the waist while focusing on holding the microphone, so let’s definitely ask for this shot!

Lastly, I'll introduce a photo that captures the guests instead of the bride and groom*

On the day, the bride often doesn't have the luxury of time to observe how the guests are reacting to her letter.

That’s why it's a great idea to capture many photos of the guests so that she can reminisce♡

The Bride's Letter is a Treasure Trove of Photo Opportunities♡

The time spent reading the bride's letter is typically around five minutes*

During those five minutes, there are so many photos we’d like the photographer to capture!

Let's summarize the instructions clearly and ensure the special moments of the bride's letter are beautifully preserved♡
