Shinto Wedding (III)

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 27 February 2007 in People & Portrait.

After the Group photo they had time to walk around together. Photo from a visit to Meiji-jingu Shrine. I want to thank my girlfriend, Marissa, for her support the day we visited this beautiful shrine, she is the one who saw this couple and encouraged me to follow them and take photos. I hope you had liked this series of Shinto Wedding photos, thank you for your visits and comments!

Lucca from Cologne, Germany

I like this series a lot.! It seems to me you always captured the right moment. The light and the colors look so natural. Thank you for sharing it. It is aways interesting to get an impression of different cultures. One question: Why does the couple wear these shoes?

@Lucca: Thank you very much Lucca, I assume they are wearing this shoes because of the traditional way of dressing!

Es una foto muy bien captada en donde se puede apreciar la hermosura de los vestuarios, la alegria discreta de la novia, la pilastra de pino, todo el conjunto hace un escenario perfecto. Besos, mama

Suze from Raleigh, United States

Beautiful. I love the way there is just a faint dark wood background going on and they are the total center of the photo. I think it really evokes a certain emotion.

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia

What a great shot and an excellent cultural document at the same time. You've done very well here with the exposure, considering the extreme brightness range.
