One of our favourite parts of the job is exploring different types of weddings in Asia. We especially love the rich culture found in Japanese weddings, which are normally more formal than what we might be used to. That wasn’t the case for this wedding, which was held outdoor, and filled with colour and loads of laughter without missing out on the usual customs. Thanks, Daniel, for sharing this with us.

Daniel of The Royal Workshop Japan: “Personally, it was one of the most memorable weddings of 2014, as the wedding was held at a camping spot (near the 5th base of Mt Fuji) in the midst of a typhoon that was passing through Japan. My camera gear was soaked and I mistakenly loaded a roll of colour film instead of the usual BW film, and developed it in my own BW soup. I thought I’d screwed up big time but even though the BW pictures turned out a little ‘older’ than expected, it wasn’t too bad.”
