The photos come before the wedding
The wedding photographs a Chinese couple shows you were taken months before the wedding. 婚纱照 is a separate event and an entire industry: a studio package, a day or two of shooting, several changes of outfit — a Western white dress, a red 旗袍, sometimes a costume out of a historical drama — at rented locations or on painted sets. The results are retouched heavily, printed large, displayed at the reception and then hung at home. The day itself is photographed as well, but the portraits on the wall are from the shoot.
