Over 40 years ago, marriage in China was arranged by the state, and romantic love was seen as a capitalist concept. Today, China's wedding industry is worth 80 billion dollars and continues to grow. Pre-wedding photography is a significant part of this industry, with couples taking part in elaborate shoots that involve costume and backdrop changes, often at exotic locations.

For over 40 years, the Chinese government strictly regulated marriages, viewing romantic love as a Western concept, resulting in sparse and formal wedding photography, often limited to a single black and white passport-style photo.
