I took this in the inner courtyard of Meiji Jingu (Meiji Shrine) in the center of Tokyo. It being a weekend, lots of people--from little kids up to senior citizens--came dressed in traditional Japanese clothes. This couple was having their wedding photos shot here, and later they were in a larger shot with both sides of the family--probably 20 people in all. Japanese wedding customs have largely gone by the wayside, in favor of more "Western-style" weddings. However, on this day, several couples who stuck with a traditional ceremony were there to have their pictures taken.It was funny to watch all the tourists (myself included) line up to take snaps of this couple. It was almost like they were the celebrities and we were the paparazzi.
Another photo tomorrow...
