Elopement Wedding in Rustic Japan, Wajima

I had the honor to be part of such an intimate and lovely elopement wedding. Together with Itsumi, the wedding planner, they created such an intimate wedding incorporating so many local touches to their wedding. The details of Japanese tenugui on their wedding bouquet, accessories created by local artisans, were all very lovely touches to their wedding. It was truly a great honor to spend a day with such a down-to-earth couple, their family and friends. The whole team had so much fun exploring and sightseeing while working as well!

Client Testimonial

We were so happy to work with Kai for our wedding photography! We had a unique elopement wedding that combined a pre-wedding photo shoot in multiple locations, an outdoor ceremony, and a post-ceremony dinner. Kai worked with us beforehand on the site selection, then diligently scouted ideal shooting locations in those remote areas the day before, resulting in a well-planned and efficient shoot and beautiful photos. She was absolutely amazing to work with during what could have been a stressful wedding day. She and her team guided us and our guests throughout the day and became a memorable part of our special day themselves. Kai understood what we wanted--intimate, natural, and elegant. She captured the two of us with our guests beautifully from morning to evening on the day. In addition to the people, she also beautifully captured other details with true spirit of the occasion, ranging from delicate close ups of our wedding rings to stunning landscapes of our location. She presented these artistic photos with a great storytelling ability. Both of us and our guests enjoyed every minute working with Kai and had so much fun. We appreciate her beyond words!
