Tokyo Asakusa Kimono and Kamakura Slam Dunk Prewedding Photoshoot in Japan
A Tokyo Love Story
For Emily & Jun, this shoot was planned around two things — experiencing Japan in a meaningful way, and including places that mattered to them.
We started in Asakusa, where they chose to do a kimono shoot to capture a more traditional side of Tokyo. The streets around Senso-ji gave us a mix of structure and movement — temple grounds, narrow lanes, and everyday street scenes. Instead of rushing through locations, we kept the pace slow so they could explore naturally while we captured moments in between.
The second part of the shoot was in Kamakura, which was especially meaningful for Jun as a fan of Slam Dunk. We planned the route around the iconic railway crossing and coastal roads, timing it to avoid crowds while still getting that familiar scene.
From there, we moved towards the seaside, where the shoot opened up — less structured, more relaxed. The combination of the train tracks, ocean views, and open space gave a completely different feel from Asakusa, which helped create variety across the full gallery.
Overall, this was a very intentional shoot — balancing cultural elements, personal references, and natural moments, while making sure the experience itself felt easy and enjoyable for them.
