Like the changing seasons, a relationship adjusts and transitions in preparation for what is to come. As this couple commits to a lifetime together, their union is symbolised by the snow-capped woodlands that weather the winters of life and delight in the dawn of spring.

For an off–the-beaten-track portrait experience, Daniel of The Royal Workshop Japan led this couple through the icy paths of Nagano City, a popular temple town in the Land of the Rising Sun. We are transfixed by the passion and depth in these photos. Astounding masterpieces, Daniel!

In spite of the biting cold, the couple followed through on the concept to explore uncharted lands together and document the thrills that come with stepping into an environment outside of their comfort zone. What ensued from the frosty experience was a set of wedding portraits that aptly captured the couple’s sense of adventure, and more importantly, that served as a reminder of their story and how blessed they are to journey together.
