Epcot photo shoot

[rosworms]

I have seen many lovely Epcot photo shoots in different parts of World Showcase and they are wonderful.
But what about Future World? Are we allowed to have a photo shoot in that part of Epcot? I'm just thinking if there's going to be an Epcot photo shoot, you'd want a shot next to Spaceship Earth (like Cinderella Castle in a MK shoot).

I cant think of having seen one but I'm immediately wobdering about the time of EPCOT shoots. Lots of things/tours/weddings go on in world showcase at NOT completely insane hours and if you could do both im not sure what time you'd have to start at FW to be in and out before the crowds?

Wouldn't it be similar to doing the Magic Kingdom shoot? Where you just have to go super early in the morning before the park opens?

Is it at all possible to do your wedding photos inside of EPCOT during regular park hours? Our wedding coordinator seemed to have made it quite clear that we were, under NO circumstances, to enter any of the parks in wedding attire while they were opened to the public.

I know the World Showcase opens later than the rest of the park, but I imagine if you ask, they may let you do some pics near Spaceship Earth before the regular park opens and then you can go over the to showcase. I have found that with Disney, just keep asking different people until one of them gives you the answer you want. They are pretty inconsistent with what is and what is not allowed. I think as long as you are there before the park opens, why wouldn't they let you? You can't wear your dress in the park when other guests are there but if you get there before they are open,it seems reasonable.

They don't let you have photos taken in Future World. I spoke with one of the photographers on the phone the other day and asked her this question. She said that Future World is not an elegant enough backdrop for wedding photos, but that they do this for engagement/honeymoon shoots. I told her I would not even consider having photos made at Epcot unless I could have SSE in them. She said the only way that they do this is to have SSE in the background of Italy or Japan. There's a photo on their website of this and it's actually really pretty. But yes, I would rather have them made in Future World too.

We had a photo on the bridge in front of Italy with SSE in the background. I was worried about how it would show up, but it was beautiful! Turned out to be one of my favorite photos from the shoot. It has all the beauty of SSE, and you know EXACTLY where you are, but without all the starkness and coldness of FutureWorld around you. Here is the pic we got:

You could probably get closer if you wanted. That little peek of SSE was enough for us!

I really don't think they'll let you get closer to SSE because of the time the Epcot photoshoots are scheduled. Regina picked us up at our hotel at 7:45am, which on a normal day would have put us in Epcot for 8am. (We had our pictures done on marathon day so that's a little different, but that's besides the point.) If your pictures are scheduled on a EMH day, they definitely won't let you into Future World. They might argue that 8am is just too close to opening for you to go into Future World.
