"How to Kindly Request Wedding Photos from Guests Without Being Perceived as Impolite!"

2019.07.11 published

The wedding has finished successfully♡

To all the newlyweds who have worked hard alongside their partners and planners to prepare for their wedding,

Thank you for your hard work, and congratulations once again♡

On the Big Day, every moment must have been truly fun and a happy time♩

@a.bride9

I want to receive the photos taken by my friends!

"I want to look back on my wedding with photos and videos as soon as possible! I still want to soak in the afterglow!"

It's only natural for a bride to think this way＊

However, it is common for the photographer's data to take about a month at the earliest, and up to two months at the latest to arrive.

That's why we can rely on friends, especially female guests♡

Many female guests have captured beautiful photos of key moments of the wedding, guests during waiting times, and various items,

and there are some who have taken videos to upload on their Instagram stories...!

So, to quickly look back on your wedding memories, let’s ask your friends to send you photos and videos♩

What’s a nice way to ask?

While there are many friends who will share their photos of the day without being asked...＊

Some may not be able to send photos immediately due to a lack of smartphone battery, work, or other obligations.

Here are some polite ways to ask friends for photos of the wedding♡

Please take a look for reference＊

How to ask① First show your gratitude

Before getting to the main point, it's important to first express your gratitude as good manners＊

- Thank you for coming to the wedding, ○○-chan!

- I was so happy to see you after such a long time!

- Your party dress was really cute, ○○-chan!

- I’m glad you enjoyed the wedding!

and so on♡

How to ask② Get to the main point

After that, get to the main point and ask for the wedding photos＊

- I'd be so happy if you could send me the photos you took when you have time, ○○-chan!

- I’m collecting all the photos everyone took, so please send them when you’re free!

- If you have any photos from the day, I’d love to receive any of them!

- I want all the photos♡

You can express this in the most appropriate way considering your relationship with the person, which is GOOD◎

How to ask③ Talk about the future!

And finally, let’s talk about the future♡

- Let’s hang out again, ○○-chan!

- Let’s both do our best in work and private life!

- I’m looking forward to your updates on Instagram, ○○-chan~♡

- Again, thank you for everything, and let’s keep in touch!

Finish on a positive note♩

Photos taken by friends become treasures♡

Photos taken by friends at the wedding capture wonderful angles unique to the guest perspective♡

Since they capture real moments that are different from those by the photographer, they will be important photos that you’ll want to look back on continuously＊

Let’s receive the photos taken by friends right after the wedding and soak in the afterglow♡
