Natalie and John are avid snow lovers. When they booked with our Queenstown New Zealand branch in July (New Zealand’s winter), there wasn’t much snow even up on the mountain accessed via helicopter. This might be due to global warming.As a bit of a revenge for the lack of snow in New Zealand, they booked us again this time in…
Mitzy and Andy wanted something completely different from our usual Japanese countryside and temple elopements, in Shibuya. Go hard or go home, right? Of course, we headed straight for the famous Shibuya Crossing and Tokyo Station. There’s millions of people out there, but only one of you and your partner.
It was a beautiful day in Kamakura, for Bree and Ian’s Tokyo Japan Elopement. As usual, we required a private venue in order to host the intimate wedding ceremony in a private setting. The weather cooperated kindly, with warm sunlight throughout the day. We love working with our celebrant Emmanuel in Tokyo, he has possibly the best mix of professionalism…
“Madly in love”“Butterflies in the stomach”I think I was able to capture this feeling with Sabrina and Sandro, without forcing it at all. All the pretty sights, the nice overcast light and autumn foliage are just extras.Congratulations!
Asakusa in Tokyo is a very busy place, with a whole lot of tourists, loud noises from street vendors, cars and flashy signs.

It was our first time…
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…
Summer has ended in Japan, and we enjoyed the “quiet time” before the Autumn and Winter tourism rush in Kyoto. Kyoto is a busy city, busy with a lot of foreign tourists as well as local Japanese tourists and people who live there. Traffic in the city centre is almost always chaotic, with taxi drivers in a rush, cyclists ignoring…
Introduction Weddings in Japan are symbolic. They don’t create legal status. For legal marriage, couples must follow civil procedures, which we have outlined in our another blog post: https://nomadweddings.jp/blog/foreigners-legal-marriage-in-japan/ Still, many couples choose to hold a ceremony or ritual in Japan for meaning, culture, and beauty. Below are four common ceremony styles you can have here. Each style works differently…
