Japanese Wedding at Meiji Jingu shrine

I had the fortune of coming across a wedding procession while I was visiting Meiji Jingu shrine earlier this year, somehow managing to be in the perfect spot to catch a few shots of this lovely moment.

I haven't seen many of these Japanese-style weddings, and usually when I've seen them, it's almost always been from a distance, so I was quite happy to be able to get a little closer and catch a glimpse of this facet of Japanese culture.

Hope you enjoy them, and good night from Tokyo!  🙂

    +michelle vitard , I wish I knew how their photographer's photos turned out – I only got a brief glimpse of him running in front of them, taking the photos of the procession.

    +Jeff Matsuya you were fortunate to be good at taking photos as well! 🙂
    If someone else was there I don`t think these photos would have come out.

    Very cool set +Jeff Matsuya! I visit Meiji Jingu on each visit and on each visit I've witnessed a wedding taking place. I just wonder if my presence brings good luck or bad luck to these couples. ;-P

    Thanks +Mark Esguerra !  You always bring good vibes, so I'm sure you generate good luck instead of bad 😉

    +Jeff Matsuya I think some might beg to differ, he he. But I like the thought of bringing the good vibes! ;-P
