Preparations and precautions
Preparation for costumes and hair and makeup

When preparing for a wedding shoot, preparing the costumes and hair and makeup is just as important as deciding on the location.
When it comes to costumes, it would be a good idea to wear not only a wedding dress, but also a Japanese-style kimono. There are many shops in Japan where you can rent dresses and kimonos throughout the country, so we recommend using them.
You can do your hair and makeup yourself or hire a professional. If you go to a hair salon, a professional will set your hair. Even if you don't understand the language, you can just show the hairdresser a photo of your ideal hairstyle. If you want to use the beauty salon, please make a reservation in advance. Most restaurants allow you to make reservations online, so don't worry even if you don't speak Japanese.
Scenery that changes depending on the season

There are four main seasons in Japan, and the scenery that can be seen in the same place often changes greatly depending on the season.
Additionally, there is a season called the rainy season between spring and summer when it rains a lot, making it an unsuitable time for wedding photography.
It is a good idea to decide in advance what kind of scenery you would like to take photos of, and then choose the time of year to come to Japan.
Cherry blossoms and autumn leaves can only be viewed for a short period of time, and it is very difficult to get the timing right, so it is important to discuss the best time to take photos with people living in Japan or local photographers.
Photography permission may be required
When conducting commercial photography, including wedding photography, in Japan, you must apply for a photography permit in advance. Some places require you to not only apply but also pay a usage fee. Please contact the local government or administrator that manages the location.
Also, permission is not granted immediately after application, and there are many places that have deadlines for applications, such as ``applying at least two weeks before the shooting date'', so choose a shooting date with plenty of time to spare. is also important.
If you are unsure about the language, leave it to the photography service called " Capture My Japan "! You can shoot at any location of your choice throughout Japan, and an English-speaking photographer will be in charge of the shooting. Of course, you can leave it to the photographer to apply for permission to shoot at the shooting location.
