Having recently tried to do a "wedding photoshoot" using a character that hasn't actually done the quest and thus can't access the /embrace emote, it's not the same as /hug. Embrace leans in closer and has a different expression with closed eyes.

(Forgive the incoming showing-off...)

The third pic on this one was both characters using /hug. They don't get that close at all.

Third pic on this one has the bride using embrace vs groom using hug, and you can see it's a huge difference in how they're positioned.
