“Why should James Bond have all the fun?” ~ Anonymous
This elegant wedding had it all. An all-star cast. Unbridled glamor, show-stopping surprises, production value and above all that most fantastic theme…We adore a good theme. Yes, it was an homage to 007. Shaken, not stirred. It was just about as Casino Royale, Tokyo-style as you can get. A James Bond inspired affair, from the spectacular entrance timed perfectly to that one & only iconic theme song, to all the 007 details, even original Skyfall signage, dramatic performances and a simply gorgeous couple, so beautifully charismatic, so perfect for each other. Certainly not for your eyes only… Rie & Ken celebrated the living daylights out of their enduring love story with their nearest & dearest. There was such a profound buzz in the Manhattan ballroom. A gala swathed in memories with so many thoughtful, real moments. From a fascinating insight into their lives via their personal DVD’s on the big screens to an astonishing film serenade. It was a delight from start to finish and an honor to document. Diamonds maybe forever but the world is not enough for this love story…Cue music…& onto the highlights…
The End. And the beginning…so excited for the next installment. Rie & Ken, thank you both truly for such a fabulous, very special & memorable experience. Your story told itself beautifully. It was so Bond, so real, and importantly such a joyful celebration of life and what it means to have your 007 by your side…
Your Bond Girls,
