Across oceans and cultures, your greatest adventure deserves a breathtaking beginning.
Let the soul of Japan be the witness to your sacred vows.
Enter a world where Imperial art meets natural majesty. Daikaku-ji, once an Emperor’s detached palace, offers the exquisite “Botan-no-ma” (Peony Room) as your private stage. With its vibrant gold-leaf sliding doors and views of the sacred Osawa Pond, this is the pinnacle of cinematic Kyoto wedding photography.
Located in the historic Saga-Arashiyama district, Daikaku-ji is one of Japan’s oldest and most significant temples. Known as the “Palace on the Water,” it features the 1,200-year-old Osawa Pond, the oldest surviving man-made forest pond in Japan. This area offers a poetic backdrop that transitions beautifully through the four seasons.

Your journey into the Imperial past begins with a regal transformation. After your private session amidst the gold-leaf masterpieces of the Daikaku-ji Peony Room, we retreat to a historic, private Machiya (traditional townhouse). Here, away from the world, you will indulge in a traditional Japanese lunch and a private tea ceremony. This intimate setting allows for soul-stirring, lifestyle-focused portraits that provide a soft, poetic contrast to the grand, palatial architecture of the temple. It is a day where you don’t just take photos—you live a legacy.
