Love in Tokyo: A Pre Wedding Photoshoot Between Nature and Tradition

Before the most celebrated cherry blossoms were in full bloom, this pre wedding session took place with a few early blooming trees. 

The first location was surrounded by nature, a peaceful park where early cherry blossoms framed the couple in soft tones of pink and green. Pre wedding photography in Tokyo parks offers a calm, grounding contrast to the city, making it ideal for couples who want their images to feel relaxed and timeless.

As a lifestyle photographer, I’m always looking to create authentic, emotive and romantic portraits that convey your love story.

These locations are best for couples who are in search of having

  • An intimate wedding in Tokyo
  • A Japan elopement
  • A place with lesser crowds but in Tokyo
  • Or a destination wedding in Japan who want photos that feel authentic and connected to nature

A Buddhist Temple & Tokyo Tower: Tradition Meets the City

The second location brought a different energy: a Buddhist temple with a subtle yet striking view of Tokyo Tower. This combination is uniquely Tokyo: ancient tradition set against modern architecture.

For couples drawn to symbolism and atmosphere, temple locations offer a sense of stillness and reflection. They’re often chosen by couples looking to add,

  • Traditional architecture to their images
  • To have an iconic view of Tokyo

The presence of Tokyo Tower adds a modern, urban layer, making these images especially meaningful for couples whose story is tied to the city.

A Natural, Film-Inspired Approach to Pre Wedding & Elopement Photography

This session reflects the same storytelling approach I bring to my work as a Japan elopement photographer and destination wedding photographer:

  • Natural light
  • Soft, film inspired tones
  • Candid moments over staged poses

Whether documenting a pre-wedding photoshoot, an intimate wedding, or an elopement in Japan, the focus remains the same: honest emotion, beautiful light, and a sense of place. The investment is for a lifetime, see more about my pricing here.
