Wedding Photos in Tokyo | Asakusa, Tokyo Tower and More

Turn Your Tokyo Trip into Your Wedding Photoshoot

The shoot is led by CJC Co., Ltd., which has produced more than 4,000 wedding films in Japan. TAMAKI, its wedding photo and film brand, will take care of your session.

Outfit rental, dressing, hair and makeup, and any required shooting permit applications are all included in the price, so you can leave the preparations in one set of hands. You can consult the team in Japanese, English or Chinese, and overseas couples travelling to Japan for a shoot are welcome.

Will you wear a kimono in the streets of Asakusa, or a dress with Tokyo Tower in the view? We'll plan a shoot that suits your travel schedule and your tastes.

The photos shown here are sample shots provided by CJC Co., Ltd. Outfits, locations and times of day are confirmed by the plan you choose and by your pre-shoot consultation.

Start by Choosing the Photos and Film You'd Like to Keep

Do you want to focus on photos, or enjoy a film as well? The time a shoot needs also depends on the number of outfits and locations. Here are the main differences between the plans.

■ Photo Collection | For couples who want to focus on photos A half-day shoot with one location and one outfit as standard, delivering 50 retouched photos.

■ Signature | For couples who want photos and a short film Everything in Photo Collection, plus a 90-second 4K cinematic film and a vertical short video.

■ Premium Full Day | For couples who want both kimono and dress in different settings A full-day shoot with two locations and two outfits, delivering 75 retouched photos and a 3-minute cinematic film.

If you'd like a film or a full-day shoot, check the matching plan and how to book in advance. Locations and conditions are confirmed before booking, and CJC handles any permit applications that are needed.

On the Day: Get Ready, Then Head to Your Chosen Location

The day begins with dressing and hair and makeup. Kimono take time to put on, so the schedule starts in the morning. You don't need to gather a full set of outfits yourselves, which leaves you free to get into the mood for the shoot.

If you choose Asakusa, the bustle of Nakamise Street and the backstreets of the old downtown area are all possible backdrops. Even a shot of you walking away or glancing back captures the atmosphere unique to a trip.

Below are sample shots from Tokyo. Use them as a reference when you talk about the places and mood you have in mind.

Shooting in Asakusa: Striking Backdrops and Your Own Expressions

A commemorative photo in front of Kaminarimon Gate, or a shot that makes use of vermilion walls and lattice windows. Some of the Asakusa samples bring in the colours of the town and the character of its buildings.

Beyond neatly posed portraits, try holding hands or leaning in close. A touch of playfulness can turn a photo into one that shows who you are as a couple. Talk with the team about the compositions you'd like, based on what each location allows.

Shooting in a Dress: With Tokyo Tower or Tokyo Skytree Behind You

For couples who want to be photographed in a dress, views of Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree are also possible locations.

In streets with a view of Tokyo Tower, photos can make the most of a flowing hem and your movement. In open riverside scenery, compositions that include the sky and water are especially memorable.

Picture your favourite Tokyo view and the dress look you want to keep, then talk with the team about where to shoot.

For a Night-Time Mood: Shinjuku's Neon Is Also an Option

If you'd like Tokyo at night as your backdrop, you can also ask about shooting in Shinjuku or around Tokyo Station. In the Shinjuku sample, the glow of neon overlaps with the kimono, creating a shot full of Tokyo's energy.

If you want night views, discuss the time of day and the details, including preparation and travel, in advance. If you'd like to go from a morning kimono shoot through to night scenes, it's important to choose a plan that fits the shooting time.

Finally, Enjoy Your Finished Photos Long After the Trip

The fun doesn't end when the shoot does. With the half-day photo plan, 50 retouched photos are delivered online 3 to 4 weeks after the shoot.

With the plans that include film, a short film can also capture your movements and expressions. Looking back at your photos and film after you return home extends the enjoyment of your day in Tokyo.

FAQ

■ What outfits and items do I need to prepare? We provide a shiromuku or iro-uchikake (traditional wedding kimono) or a dress for the bride, and a montsuki hakama (formal crested kimono and hakama) for the groom. Dressing and hair and makeup are included, so there is nothing in particular you need to bring. The types and combinations of outfits can be discussed in advance to suit your plan.

■ How long does the shoot take? A half-day shoot takes about 3 to 4 hours. Kimono take time to put on, so the schedule starts in the morning. Full-day plans follow a separate schedule.

■ When will I receive my photos and film? With the half-day photo plan, 50 retouched photos are delivered online 3 to 4 weeks after the shoot. For plans that include film, expect the film about 4 to 5 weeks later. The number of photos and the film content differ depending on the plan you choose.

■ What happens if it rains? If the weather makes shooting difficult, we will offer a date change or a refund in line with the booking policy.

■ Can I shoot outside Tokyo? CJC takes bookings for shoots across Japan, including Kyoto, Mt. Fuji and Okinawa. If you'd like to shoot outside Tokyo, please consult us in advance about the location and how to book.

Summary

Put on a kimono in Asakusa in the morning and capture your time together in front of Nakamise and Kaminarimon. Then change into a dress and head to a view of Tokyo Tower or Tokyo Skytree. With this plan, you can capture both the traditional and the modern sides of Tokyo in a single shoot.

Kimono against the streets of Asakusa, or a dress spread wide against the Tokyo skyline? The fun of a wedding photoshoot begins with choosing your backdrops and outfits together.

Leave the outfits, preparation and any required shooting permits to the CJC team, and enjoy your time together on the day. Why not create photos in Tokyo that you'll want to look back on again and again after you return home?
