Kat & Cam, Kyoto Japan Elopement and Tea Ceremony

Reading Time: 1 minute

Kat and Cam came all the way from New Zealand for their wedding in Kyoto.

Wait, so did we!
How did we end up doing Kiwi Weddings in Japan, and Japanese weddings in New Zealand?
I’m not very sure, that’s just how life goes – it’s an adventure.

Full of mysteries, like what your partner is going to say for their vows.
Or the intricacies of the traditional Japanese Tea Ceremony, symbolising the joining of two families through respect, gratitude, and harmony.
“Very mindful, very demure”.


Early November is just the start of autumn, when the leaves start turning red and autumnal – the peak of this would be around late November.
