Pre-weddings in Japan

More intention, more production, still unmistakably you.

Wedding attire, creative planning and a more editorial result without losing the connection between you.

The approach

A pre-wedding can look polished without feeling distant.

We plan the visual direction, locations and practical details before the day, then leave enough room for the photographs to feel like the two of you rather than a production happening around you.

What the planning covers

The polished result begins before the camera comes out.

01

Creative direction

Mood, references, locations and the visual rhythm are considered before the day.

02

Attire and movement

The route and pacing need to work with wedding clothing rather than treating it like an ordinary session.

03

Permits and logistics

Where required, permissions, access and destination details are included in the preparation.

04

Direction that stays human

I’ll shape the photographs carefully without asking you to hold a polished expression all day.

Pre-wedding options

Choose the place that fits the visual story.

Every pre-wedding includes planning and a private edited gallery. Destination inclusions remain visibly flagged where the operational details still need confirmation.

Questions

The production details, clearly explained.

Do you provide wedding attire?

The current Tokyo offer assumes the couple provides their own attire. Vendor support or wardrobe add-ons can be considered separately.

Can we use more than one location?

The Tokyo collection allows up to two locations. Destination allowances still need final confirmation.

Are permits included?

Permits are included where necessary in the current Tokyo offer. Destination-specific conditions will be clarified before launch.

Can you recommend makeup artists or other vendors?

Recommendations may be available, but the exact level of vendor support and coordination still needs to be defined.

When will we receive the photographs?

Tokyo currently follows the published delivery window of up to 15 business days. Destination delivery details remain to be confirmed.
