Recommended composition for wedding photos taken with fresh greenery

Where would you like to have your wedding photos taken?

A stylish studio is of course nice, but wedding photos taken at famous Japanese locations are popular both in Japan and abroad.

At this time of year, the streets are overflowing with brides taking photos at the Marunouchi illuminations near Tokyo Station.

I previously photographed a couple in a park with beautiful greenery.

What might look like an ordinary tree at first glance can turn into a beautiful photo depending on how you photograph it.

Today, I’ll introduce two recommended compositions and poses for wedding photos taken in the park.

Check them out, as they’ll be useful not only for weddings, but also for taking photos of couples, families, and friends.

Bench Composition

This is a shot using a bench.

Rather than photographing the two people sitting on the bench from the front, we deliberately shoot them from behind.

When doing so, we’ll create a sense of depth by surrounding them with greenery and blurring the greenery in the foreground.

It’s also recommended to have just one of them turn around and smile.

It’s also a good idea to use flowers as a prop in this case.

Another option is to have the groom gently lift the priest’s chin and act as if he’s going to kiss you, as this will add variety to the photos.

Don’t be shy when doing this!

Don’t be shy, create an atmosphere where you can enjoy taking photos without any hesitation.

Hinomaru Composition

The classic Hinomaru composition places the subject in the center of the photo.

It can be used in a variety of situations.

Even if you take a photo from the same place and distance, you can create a completely different impression by stepping back a little so that your whole body is included,

or conversely, by getting closer so that only your upper body is included.

When the sun is out, the sunlight filtering through the leaves is reflected on the ground, making for a beautiful image,

so it’s a good idea to capture the sunlight filtering through the trees in your photo.
