Everybody does it in Germany at wedding parties. All the guests are photographed holding a frame. It became very, very boring and cliché, at least here in Germany.
So these hold-the-frame portraits – must everyone contrive to look arty and sad? (or is that hip and self-mocking? I can never tell.) Even the baby is too-cool-for-school. Hopefully if the frame portrait is taken at wedding, they’d be allowed to give the newlywed couple a smile without losing cred.
thought the same…did this about 400 times this year…at german weddings. our customers would hate it in the studio, even if, and it is lovely. but very very overdone. at least here.

I wish we did this at American wedding parties! Definitely would need vintage wallpaper in the background, though.
