Tokyo Westin Hotel Wedding – Mizuho & Kazuya

”We need a witness to our lives.  There’s a billion people on the planet, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything.  The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things, all of it, all of the time, every day.  You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it.  Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness’.” ~ Shall We Dance…

A very special celebration to feature today…a timelessly beautiful wedding from October. With the sweetest couple ever… just so undeniably meant to be… Mizuho & Kazuya met in dance class. Social dance class. This is “Shall We Dance” in-real-life. Which is why we just had to photograph their Engagement Session in the rehearsal dance studio (post coming soon!!)…. Utter soul mates & just a dream for us to be part of their fairytale story. Commencing in the elegant Westin Tokyo, where we were given time & freedom to document their beautiful day. Mizuho a vision in her gorgeous lace gown. The Westin staircase just so iconic for portraits. We love it when the couple get ready together, it is always so joyful, tinged with nerves and in this case just so lovely as it was quiet & calm & beautifully romantic. They waltzed through the foyer on route to the Church ceremony, poignant & spiritual, then back to the hotel for an intimate reception, with yes, dancing!! It was just a joy from start to finish. With a clandestine dance around Ebisu at the end. A perfect fairytale ending (yes, we just had to find a castle) to the beginning of their story…may the dancing never end…
