China’s Booming Wedding Photography Industry
Wedding photos are an important part of wedding ceremonies across the globe, but in China they’re a whole different ballgame; the perfect wedding shoot has become a top priority in the wedding arrangements. The Chinese marriage industry is soaring with an estimated worth of 130 US$ billion in last year. Wedding shoots are one of its key sectors—some photography packages are sold at a staggering $80,000. Profits stem from the expensive backdrops and costume rentals, along with more modern additions of presentation videos and interactive wedding invitations.
In today’s social media age, Chinese wedding photographs are routinely shared with a large audience. This has led to various trends in the industry. One style mirrors the original "wedding photographs’ of China’s pre-reform era. Before the popularity of pre-wedding shoots, engaged couples would usually pose for one formal photograph when in the process of obtaining a marriage certificate. In more modern interpretations, couples can be seen to wear Mao-era military fatigues and hairstyles, even holding copies of Mao’s Little Red Book in keeping with photographs of the time, the main difference being that today couples are permitted to adopt whimsical poses and expressions.
Another recent trend is to stand out from the crowd by taking pre-wedding photos in another country, such as posing under the Big Ben in faraway London. This generally involves more Western-style photographs in suits and white bridal gowns. Transport and accommodation are often organised as part of one photography package. Other popular pre-wedding photo locations and styles include local parks, botanical gardens, amusement parks and indoor studio backdrops, with couples often wearing traditional Han qipao and hanfu dress.
As the production level of pre-wedding photography rises, couples in China have been spending increasing amounts on photography packages. In order to get ahead in the market, there are now companies that have begun to offer additional services including electronic online invitations and wedding videos at comparatively affordable prices. Pre-wedding shoots themselves can range from hundreds to (ten) thousands of dollars, depending on the number of locations and the price of the outfits.
Online opinion of pre-wedding photography varies, with some Weibo users admiring viral wedding photos while others scorn the practice. Some netizens are critical at the costs involved in extravagant photo shoots. Commenting on the recent story of the couple who wore 56 ethnic minority outfits in their pre-wedding photographs, one Weibo user said: "All I can say is that they have too much money." On the other hand, unusual photo shoots can attract admiration, with one netizen commenting on the same story: "What a creative journey!"
With the growth of China’s emerging middle-class, the trend for pre-wedding photographs is likely to further flourish for the years to come; as couple’s strive to find new and innovative wedding photos, the industry is only set to become more competitive.

Are High-Priced Wedding Shoots Acceptable? Wedding shoots have become the major sector of the surging marriage industry in China. The advent of social media makes it easier for the general population to share their wedding photos online and leads to various trends in the shooting of wedding photographs. Some would set the backdrop in China’s pre-reform era, and others would go to great lengths to shoot their wedding photos in a country a few thousand miles away. Responsive companies have offered various services to satisfy the need of young couples and the price of such services are as high as staggering. Opinion varies with respect to the cost and effort involved in shooting wedding photos. As far as I am concerned, any type of wedding photos is acceptable as long as it is not beyond the affordability of the couples involved. Since marriage is one of the most memorable moments in one’s life, it is not surprising that young brides and grooms in China, with more disposable income available, spend a handsome sum on wedding pictures. The various use of wedding pictures also justifies the huge amount spent Wedding photos, for instance, can be presented as special gifts to friends and relatives, especially to parents and grandparents. They can also be used to make an album or to decorate the venue of wedding ceremony. Moreover, wedding pictures are the main stuff to produce electronic invitation which at present is a very popular form. As people are somewhat nostalgic, they may take out their wedding photos and recollect the exciting moment of their life when they are old and grey. In this sense, wedding photos, though taken within a few days, have a long-lasting impact In a word, I am in favor of the idea of taking wedding photos. However, while taking wedding photos is worthwhile, I suggest that young couples should not spend more than what they can afford on the wedding pictures.
解析
材料探讨了中国迅速发展的婚纱照行业及其发展趋势。可分为四部分内容。
第一段概括了现代婚纱照行业的发展现状。如今拍婚纱照是婚礼安排的首要之事(top priority),且是婚礼行业盈利的重要来源(key sectors),因为拍摄涉及各种昂贵(expensive)的道具以及服饰等。
第二、三段则对比了改革开放前和现在人们拍结婚照的不同。过去未婚夫妇拍结婚照是因为需要一张照片去领取结婚证(obtaining a marriage certificate),而现在的年轻一代则追求个性化的婚纱照,会加入搞怪的姿势和表情(whimsical poses and expressions)。而且,出国拍婚纱照也是一种潮流,交通和住宿的费用也会包含在婚纱照套餐里。
第四、五段则介绍了婚纱照价格上涨的问题以及网友对此的看法。由于婚纱照制作水平的提高。新婚夫妇在这方面的开销也不断增加(spending increasing amounts)。根据拍摄地点的数量和装备的价格,费用从几百到几千甚至上万不等。网友对此褒贬不一,有人认为这样的婚纱照极具创意(a creative journey),也有人认为这是奢侈浪费(extravagant)。
最后一段对婚纱照行业的发展进行展望。随着中国中产阶级的增加,未来的婚纱照行业将更加繁荣(further flourish),其竞争也将越发激烈(more competitive)。
开篇:概括材料,总结我国婚纱照行业的发展状况及网友对此的意见;提出个人观点——在承受范围内的婚纱照都是可以接受的。
主体:从用途和意义两方面论述拍婚纱照的合理性。
结尾:重申观点,指出婚纱照虽然重要,但大家应该理性消费。
