Intimate Japanese Garden Elopement in Kyoto, Japan

M & H's intimate autumn elopement ceremony captured in the heart of Kyoto's traditional Japanese garden.

Japan’s autumn holds a special place in my heart - so it was with immense joy when M & H reached out to me to document their special day in the heart of Kyoto. 

The day began with an early morning photo session through Kyoto's streets, a quiet and intimate prelude before the city came alive. Timing it just right allowed us to embrace the tranquility before the busy crowds took over.

Moving into the main event, M & H's intimate elopement ceremony unfolded in a traditional Japanese garden. Beneath the radiant Torii gate M & H exchanged vows, marking the beginning of their shared journey.

The joyous occasion continued with the couple embracing the rich traditions of Japan through a serene tea ceremony. Wrapping up the day, we took a leisurely stroll through the enchanting garden, capturing moments beneath the vibrant autumn leaves.

For now, I’ll let the photos do the rest of the talking but if you are interested in an elopement ceremony like this one, please get in touch and I’d be happy to help! My photography style is natural, timeless, with an editorial flare. I hope you enjoy the photos :)
