I Want to Take Stylish Wedding Photos ♡
For brides-to-be who are considering pre- or post-wedding shoots, have you prepared any “shooting props”? *
In Japan, it seems many brides-to-be are DIYing cute shooting items like red strings and love objects…
However, there may also be those who want to take sophisticated and stylish wedding photos using simple, adult-like shooting props.
So, this time, we introduce atmospheric photos using shooting props from Korea, a country known for chic wedding photos *
Use this as a reference for your pre- or post-wedding shoots ♡
Stylish Shooting Prop You Want to Take for Pre-shoot ♡ Acrylic Board
The first item we would like to introduce is a wedding photo using acrylic boards, a popular material in Japan ♩
Just by drawing letters or illustrations on an acrylic board with a pen, it becomes a very stylish shooting prop.
The see-through acrylic board is perfect for location photos ♡
Stylish Shooting Prop You Want to Take for Pre-shoot ♡ Big Balloon
In Korea, oversized balloons that cannot be held with both hands are popular as shooting items ♡
A simple white balloon printed with the wedding date in gold exudes an adorable adult vibe*
It’s a wedding photo that makes you want to use it for invitations or save-the-dates ♡
There is also a huge heart-shaped balloon like this! If you lie down on it and take pictures from a drone, it becomes a photo that looks like a stylish poster.
The bright red heart and pure white dress stand out beautifully against the green grass*

Stylish Shooting Prop You Want to Take for Pre-shoot ♡ Cloth
Popular in Japan, lying shots can be found in Korean wedding photos where the couple is lying on a stylish floral cloth like this*
By mimicking this idea, you can have the photo atmosphere you like simply by spreading your favorite patterned fabric, like florals, stars, or stripes ♡
By the way, from above, it looks like this. It’s kind of cute and wonderful, almost like having a picnic ♡
You can purchase cloth at craft stores or online, so why not look for your favorite patterned fabric?
Stylish Shooting Prop You Want to Take for Pre-shoot ♡ Umbrella
Umbrellas are often envisioned for location photo shoots on rainy days. In Korean photos, there is an idea of putting fallen leaves in a closed umbrella and taking a shot at the moment it’s opened ♡
A romantic scene of the couple kissing amid falling leaves. Isn't it wonderful?
You can also try using petals or confetti instead of leaves for a stylish touch*
Stylish Shooting Prop You Want to Take for Pre-shoot ♡ Electric Lights
For brides-to-be who will be doing location shoots in the evening or at night, we highly recommend using electric lights for wedding photos.
Twinkling electric lights can be decorated in your hair or wrapped around your body.
You can capture photo-genic pictures with an extraordinary feel ♡
Wrapping electric lights around wires to create heart or star shapes is also cute*
Stylish Shooting Prop You Want to Take for Pre-shoot ♡ Big Plush Toy
Wedding photos using plush toys often give off a cute vibe…
However, a shot of you hugging a plush toy from behind like this has a stylish essence to it*
It's also a point to prepare an unexpectedly large plush toy.
