According to official regulations established by the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination, there is no limit for individuals to take photos or videos with professional equipment in the Expo Garden. However, visitors are encouraged not to take wedding photos in the Expo Garden for security reasons.
To avoid the inconvenience of working in the Expo Garden and to meet the demands of visitors interested in Expo-themed backdrops, some studios have improvised.
Sonya Photography was the first studio set up an Expo-themed studio. "There are restrictions on entering Expo Garden with too much heavy equipment, which is essential for perfect wedding photos. We don't suggest the Expo Garden. Instead, we have a specially designed Expo-themed studio, which is a unique scene for couples," said Lin Yuan, a customer service staff member.
Compared to wedding photos, taking individual portraits is more suitable in the Expo Garden. Lin said that they had worked with at least 10 customers from different cities who wanted portraits in the Expo Garden.
