A Once-in-a-Lifetime Kimono Shoot — in the Best Location and the Best Studio

2025.11.25

PLAN Please tell us about the plan you used.

POINT Please share your feedback and what you liked about your photoshoot at Wedding Avenue.

For the shoot at Kuraki Park wearing the red iro-uchikake, I originally imagined taking photos without the tsunokakushi.
However, during the consultation, I learned that the red kimono also looks beautiful with a traditional bridal headdress.
I was also happy to hear that I could shoot both patterns—with Shin Nihongami (traditional Japanese bridal hairstyle) and without it—and that my requests would be respected.

For the white shiromuku studio session, the results were far beyond what I imagined.
The photos captured an elegant, authentic Japanese atmosphere, and I was truly satisfied.
The two fan props were one of my favorite items, and it meant so much that my mother and grandmother were happy as well.
Being able to take photos both with and without the tsunokakushi for the white kimono made the experience complete.

But above all, what made me happiest was seeing my husband smile throughout the shoot—and being able to preserve that joy in photographs.

REASON Please tell us the reason or occasion for your photoshoot at Wedding Avenue.

The proposal took place in Yokohama, which is a meaningful place for us.
I was also looking for a location where traditional Japanese hairstyles could be done, and I wanted a plan where I could wear multiple outfits—including a colored dress, wedding gown, and shiromuku.
During my research, I found Wedding Avenue and discovered that Kuraki Park offered both the natural outdoor scenery and the beauty of a Japanese-style room—exactly what I envisioned.
Seeing other couples’ photos in vibrant red kimono also inspired me, and I knew this was the right location for us.

FROM STAFF A word of thanks from the staff.

Congratulations once again on your pre-wedding photoshoot at Kuraki Park and our Tokyo studio.
We are truly honored to have been part of such a meaningful moment in your journey and to have captured memories that will last a lifetime.

Kuraki Park is a truly special location—surrounded by seasonal nature, soft breeze, and the quiet serenity unique to a Japanese garden.
The gentle sunlight filtering through the trees, the sound of leaves swaying, the pond, and stone paths all created a setting that enhanced the elegance of your kimono and presence.

As the shoot progressed, your expressions softened, and we could feel your nervousness turn into comfort, warmth, and joy.
The way you held hands, exchanged glances, and shared quiet moments together was incredibly beautiful—and each of those expressions lives vividly in your photographs.

At the studio, your kimono harmonized gracefully with the refined interior, creating a different tone from the outdoor shoot.
With carefully considered lighting, textures, and composition, the studio allowed us to capture the elegance, dignity, and calm expression unique to indoor portraits.
Both worlds—outdoor nature and studio refinement—reflected different sides of your personality beautifully.

We hope the photographs captured today will continue to stay beside you—not only as memories but as a reminder of your bond, your beginnings, and your shared future.
Years from now, may you look back and remember the scenery, the breeze, the warmth, and the happiness of this day as vividly as if it were yesterday.

May your life ahead be as graceful, warm, and beautifully layered as the kimono you wore—filled with tenderness and light.
Thank you sincerely for trusting us with such an important chapter of your story.
