“Wherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.” ~ Rumi
A quintessential Japanese wedding to feature today as we countdown to the end of this extraordinary year. One of our very favorite kinds of celebrations…a beautiful mix of traditional & modern Japan. At a much loved shrine, Hie Jinja. In the heart of Tokyo, on a perfect Fall day. With Junko & Taro … And it was just so lovely from start to finish. Amid the excitement of the families, to Junko’s reveal in the veiled Shiromoku, the poignancy of the procession (ahhhh….the moments…) & some beautiful portrait time around the historical grounds (even with alllllll the rules…) – it is never lost on us just how lucky we are to have the opportunity to document & record these kinds of stories…from outside looking in and inside looking out. We remain a little spellbound on days like these. And then it was onto the traditional reception at an equally historic venue, Tokyo Kaikan overlooking the Imperial Palace grounds – that iconic rooftop visible from the top floor…as the celebrations went from day to night with happiness overflowing…We’re wishing you both endless more days like this…

Your colors are outstanding and the images are classical and timeless. You do Asian weddings like no one else. LOVE LOVE LOVE this.
One of the most beautiful Japanese weddings I’ve seen. Well done.
You have captured the traditional and modern mix of a Japanese Wedding beautifully. Enjoyed the photos of the lovely Bride dressed in her veiled Shiromoku, the Shrine, the colours , and the amazing Tokyo Kaikan. Your photos have captured every detail of an amazing Wedding.
