A traditional Japanese pre-wedding

A traditional Japanese pre-wedding photoshoot is a beautiful way to celebrate your love and experience Japanese culture.

The bride is wearing an iro-uchikake, a colourful outer kimono worn over her wedding kimono. Uchikake date back to the Kamakura period (1185 to 1333), when they were worn by women from samurai families. Over time, they became formal attire and part of traditional bridal dress. Their beautiful patterns often include auspicious designs that express wishes for happiness and good fortune.

What I can arrange

Planning a wedding or pre-wedding photoshoot in Japan? I can help with hair and makeup, and I can also arrange a kimono and a professional kimono dresser.

To capture the beauty of your kimono, I recommend choosing a photographer experienced in traditional Japanese wedding photos.
