Pre-wedding photo shoots in traditional Japanese attire, surrounded by historic beauty, are highly popular among couples who want to make their wedding photos truly unique.

The greatest appeal is the ability to shoot against rich, scenic backdrops—such as gardens steeped in nature and history, shrines adorned with cherry blossoms or autumn leaves, elegant chapels, and beautiful resorts!

You can freely choose between Western wedding attire and traditional Japanese kimonos, all while enjoying an open, airy atmosphere that cannot be replicated in a studio. It is the perfect experience for couples who want to express their unique style.

The Appeal of Traditional Japanese Attire Location Shoots

You can express your personal style through outfits that maximize traditional elegance, such as Shiromuku (a sacred, pure white kimono), Iro-uchikake (a vibrant, intricately patterned colored kimono), and Kuro-montsuki Hakama (formal black attire for men).

Unlike the actual wedding ceremony or reception, a pre-wedding shoot allows you to take your time and enjoy the photography process at a relaxed pace.

 Packages combining both Japanese and Western attire, as well as combo plans featuring both studio and outdoor location shoots, are also highly popular.

Consultations and bookings can be easily made online, and our expert staff is always ready to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

 Traditional location photography is the perfect way to capture countless special moments, with plans that welcome not just the bride and groom, but also family members and beloved pets.

 This service is highly recommended for engaged couples and anyone who wants to preserve their precious memories in beautiful photographs.

The Flow of the Day

Your pre-wedding journey begins with an advance consultation. You can choose between an in-store visit or an online consultation, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.

During the consultation, our photo planner will carefully listen to your vision, dreams, and questions, and propose the ideal photo package for you.

Typically, the outfit fitting is held on a separate day from the shoot, allowing you to try on various items and select your favorite dresses, kimonos, and colors. (Same-day fittings may also be available for overseas or distant travelers—please consult with us for details.)

On the day of the shoot, you will get fully ready with professional hair and makeup before moving to the location to finally begin the photo session! Our photographer will bring out your natural smiles and special moments, preserving them as rich, beautiful memories.

After the shoot, we provide dedicated support until the very end, including digital data delivery and album finishing, so you can leave everything to us with peace of mind.

 Recommended Scenes

Recommended Locations That Shine Amidst Rich Nature and Historic Spots

 The most popular locations chosen for pre- and post-wedding shoots are spots where nature and history blend harmoniously.

Scenery unique to each location—such as mountains, beaches, flower fields, and charming streets—adds vibrant colors and depth to your photos.

 Shooting within postcard-perfect scenery makes your wedding memories even more profound and beautiful.

Focusing not only on the couple as the main subjects but also paying close attention to the scenery is a major trend among modern couples.

 Looking through real-life examples from various locations to find your ideal setting is one of the most exciting parts of the preparation.

By combining different styles and colors of outfits with fun photo props, you can create a bridal photo shoot with even greater originality!

Family & Pets

Include Family & Pets! A Special Location Photo Style to Create Lasting Memories

 Location shoots that include family members and pets are highly recommended for couples who want to capture deeply meaningful and special wedding photos.

Against the backdrop of diverse locations—such as gardens, shrines, and nature spots—we beautifully capture your happiness and the strong bonds you share with your loved ones and pets. (Please note that some historic sites and shrines may have restrictions regarding pets.)

 We offer flexible arrangements for on-location photography, so please feel free to talk to us if you wish to shoot at your family home or a place full of personal memories.

 With a wide variety of scenes and variations, the photography experience itself becomes a rich, wonderful memory.
