Bridal photography, also known as pre-wedding photography, is a unique practice that originated from Taiwan in the 1980s involving the production, ahead of the wedding, of couple photos set in fantasy themes (Adrian, 2006).

The carefully selected bridal photographs are generally displayed at the wedding banquet for the guests to admire, and later framed and hung in the newlyweds’ new house or flat (Constable, 2006).
