Real Wedding | Tokyo, Japan | Tokyo Wedding Photographer Dee Green

Real Wedding Description

The perfectly quintessential Japanese wedding. Simply iconic in every single way. In the heart of Tokyo at historic & auspicious Meiji Jingu Shrine. Under late winter sky, enveloped by a hint of misty rain. It was a delight to document Emi & Yoshinori from start to finish. Entertaining the guards & teeming crowds was a bonus. Stunning & serene, with moments so emotionally profound. We so deeply felt the warmth & hospitality of both families, so utterly overjoyed as they become one. From the introductions, to the processional, the relaxed & elegant reception at exclusive Torinsou followed. The arrival in the London Taxi twice was unforgettable (with that number plate 11-22 – pronounced ii-ii fu-fu = lovely couple!!) It was all about the sublime details, seen & unseen. The intricate, artful “kaiseki”, the ceremonial sake barrel opening & subsequent serving of guests and just time to enjoy, celebrate these soul-mates. Then there were Emi’s priceless kimonos, those flowers in her hair & Yoshinori’s reaction to her all day… “she is just so beautiful”… we couldn’t agree more. And finally (following a day of delicate negotiations) a little time in the garden together in photos. A dream wedding. With the night still to come and an utterly chic & contemporary 2nd reception with dear friends at our favorite venue the Tokyo American Club. Such a “kanpeki” (perfect) blend of traditional & modern Japan. Rules & all. Hopelessly love-filled, beautifully dance-inspired, and always, only their story.
