The history of wedding photography was in the mid-1990s, when the first wedding studio appeared in China, and wedding photos became more and more popular. Now it has become an indispensable part of the whole wedding process.

In 2008-2009, a new photography school appeared in the studio industry, which is characterized by small scale, many studios, few personnel, high quality photos and high price.

With the development of economy, people's requirements for wedding photos are gradually increasing. When taking pictures, I will change several sets of clothes, such as cheongsam, military uniform, ancient costume, special clothes (such as court clothes, hanbok, Japanese kimono, Han hanbok) and wedding dresses. The market requires the classification of photography to be more professional and meticulous, so some photo studios specializing in wedding photos began to appear.

The application of this technology not only reduces the cost and improves the efficiency, but also increases the amount of work in the studio, such as computer post-processing and super-large image production. This not only requires the studio to absorb more professional and technical personnel, but also internal management and related services are crucial.
