“You can go to a studio to have pre-wedding pictures taken and you can pretend to be anywhere, they have so many backdrops,” said Song, 28, who will be tying the knot with his 24-year-old bride in China’s northeastern city of Harbin.
Of course, it’s better if you can actually go there, said Song Nike Special Field Air Force 1 Army Vert Haute Boots Pas Cher , whose photoshoot with UK Wedding set him back 1,000 pounds ($1,303). UK Wedding is one of several London-based companies catering exclusively to clients from China.
“I went to university in Newcastle, so England has always been very important to me. I want to show my family and friends what it means to me,” Song said.
Living in a globally connected world and given rising incomes, young Chinese are increasingly looking to impress with lavish weddings that mix traditional elements and Western trends, complete with a walk down the aisle, bridesmaids Nike Special Field Air Force 1 Blanche Haute Boots Pas Cher , ushers and even a hired wedding planner.
Revenue for China’s wedding services industry was estimated to have reached $24.6 billion in 2016, data provider IBISWorld said in a report this year. That covered car rentals, restaurant decorations, photography and videography, among others.
The list of popular photoshoot destinations stretches from Indonesia’s resort island of Bali to London, Paris and picturesque blue-and-white Santorini in Greece.
“Some people just want to photo famous landmarks in London like Big Ben and the London Eye,” said UK Wedding founder Jeff Lu, adding that many couples now seek more authentic experiences.
“They might choose a really English-style small town Nike Air Force 1 Mid 07 Blanche Noir Pas Cher , such as in the Cotswolds near Oxford,” he added.
For those who cannot travel, vast hangar-like Chinese studios bring the world to them, offering the chance to pose in front of a fake Greek village, a Chinese temple or the bedroom of French king Louis XIV - all in a single appointment.

The couple had to wait for three months for a slot.
“It’s worth it so that we can have these beautiful memories for the future,” Chen said. “During the wedding itself, we’ll put these photos on a screen.”

WASHINGTON, May 24 (Xinhua) -- In a sharp break from his predecessor Barack Obama's Mideast policy, U.S. President Donald Trump is cozying up to Israeli and Arab leaders in a bid to isolate Iran Nike Air Force 1 Basse Cuir Blanche Noir Pas Cher , U.S. experts said.
In a first for any newly elected U.S. president, Trump paid a visit to Israel and Saudi Arabia in his first overseas trip as president. The trip was made not only in a bid to gain help in defeating terror group Islamic State (IS), but also to contain what Trump believes is a threat from Iran, the experts said.
"Trump believes that Iran remains an enemy...and must be contained and pushed back," Jim Phillips, senior Middle East research fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told Xinhua.
Trump puts a much higher priority on U.S. national security than on human rights, said Phillips Homme Nike Air Force 1 Basse 07 LE Noir Blanche Pas Cher , noting Obama's strained relations with Saudi Arabia over what Obama saw as human rights issues.
Indeed, Trump is dramatically changing the U.S. policy on Iran and the Middle East.
After years of crippling sanctions that wrecked Iran's economy, Obama extended an olive branch to Iran and agreed to lift many sanctions in exchange for a deal on Iran's nuclear weapons program. But Trump believes that was a bad deal, and sees the U.S. relationship with Iran much differently.
As such, the billionaire-turned-politician is making it very obvious, through this week's Middle East visit, that he is siding with Iran's regional competitors: Saudi Arabia and Israel.
Trump is also making it clear which countries the U.S. will side with in terms of military aid, through a U.S.-Saudi weapons agreement. Announced on Saturday Homme Nike Air Force 1 Basse Noir Pas Cher , the deal was made in a bid to counter Iran's military capabilities, U.S. experts said.
The deal included Theater High Altitude Area Defense, also known as THAAD, which is a missile defense system that experts said was made in a bid to counter any possible missile strikes from Iran, should a direct conflict ever occur. The agreement also included more coordination between Arab nations and the United States, as well as patrol boats.
