“Blossoms are scattered by the wind and the wind cares nothing, but the blossoms of the heart no wind can touch.” ~ Yoshida Kenko
Ahhhhhh the cherry blossoms. When the whole world turns a delicate pink and life is breathless for a while…Yes, it’s Spring in Tokyo. Again. Sigh. And we have a brief moment off before a marathon of Sakura-drenched sessions over the coming month to take it all in. We are firmly ready to chase the Blossom front!! Today we share our very first 2014 blossom encounter…from a wedding late February…which featured those iconic blossoms. In one of the city’s most historic of venues, The Hotel New Otani. We celebrated Sayaka & Masashi. A gorgeous day steeped in tradition & stories from the church ceremony, to those elegant Otani gardens with our most favorite waterfall. There was a reception with a tea ceremony, overwhelming emotion & oodles of ‘omotenashi’. Add that incredible kimono, a love letter & the chicest of hotel rooms to watch the sun set and the city float by. And the finale…a Nijikai with that cake of cakes…Our warmest wishes for all that is to come for this beautiful couple. We just loved documenting your story & connecting. And our very sincere thanks to the wonderful Otani Team for so kindly welcoming & supporting us…so much more to come!
