I was struggling to write something for this post because I still can’t grasp how lucky I was to be invited as a photographer to Hitomi and Kazu’s wedding in Fukuoka, Japan.
Apparently only 28% of Japanese couples choose to go full-on traditional for their wedding.
There’s always something formal yet poetic about Japanese culture, even on their wedding day.
I have never seen so many grown men cry.
I have never seen so many smart phones and cameras under one roof.
I have never seen a wedding cake being sliced by a samurai sword.
Culture shock? Sure. It’s definitely a far cry from Melbourne.
But I still can’t grasp how lucky I was to be invited as a photographer at Hitomi and Kazu’s wedding.
I love it all! And that cake looked so good =)
Thank you for sharing this with us. Such a unique expression of a different culture! Wonderful work.
These relly make me want to shoot a wedding in asia. Beautiful work!
Great pics Harvard!
Wow – these are absolutely gorgeous. The wallpaper in the room where the bride was getting ready really set the mood for the rest of the wedding, too. These are enchanting. =)
What a great opportunity! Really beautiful job capturing all the details of such an amazing day.
Holey cow! what a beautiful representation of such a cool looking wedding. Awesome shots and bitchen story telling.
i haven’t seen Japanese wedding before, so thanks to the experience 🙂
Amazing collection of images. So well done and I love your post work!
Two questions…
Why do Japanese/Chinese people do the “V” sign a lot in photos?
How do I purchase the fabulous white flower on blue background picture?
Thanks!
Amazing to see an authentic Japanese ceremony, great work.
