another wedding at Meiji-jingumae

The wedding procession led by Shintu priests and maidens

The poor bride looks a little wonky there, seems to hanging on tight to the tiny kimono clad lady (either mum or mother-in-law I'd guess) and her groom, she must be so nervous, she looks a little ill to me, I am hoping she was able to relax and enjoy her wedding

I like the wedding photographer with some bloke standing over observing, probably wants the camera (or is that just me that wants everyone else's camera)

[Jennifer C]

this is wonderful- so much to see- love that pink umbrella
i thought everyone had a good camera in japan!

[Peter de Graaff]

Cool the arm band on photographer. He wants her camera because it must be an Olympus

[Phil]

Love this - great pic not least for the mix of traditional and modern! Thoroughly approve the footwear, looks so comfy (unbound).
@peterdegraaff How the devil can you see it's an Olympus from there?! Or are you just being olympusistic?!
Megan I'll swap cameras with you if you like..................!

@filsie65 oh I love my camera, I just like to collect them

[Robert Velten]

Beautifully composed photo, even if the bride seems to be losing her composure. Interesting juxtaposition of the pattern of human lives and those enduring ones visible in the temple and pavement.

i see what you mean, she really doesn't look too good does she!! love the shot though, beautiful colours:)

[Mike Warren]

Gerat shot. Love the priest shoes/sandals. They look like large boats on their feet.

[BeckyS]

Nice one. Hope the poor girl made it through it all

[Karen H]

You captured so much in this photo. A great street shot. With so much story to tell.

[Allison Maltese]

Wonderful composition with the red umbrella balancing the red pant legs. Great shot.

[Anja]

Wonderful photo! I like the dresses, the sloping roofs and the sun shade. So much to see in this shot!

[michelle mcintyre]

[Howard Steele]

[Margo E. Dearbhail]

I have huge camera envy --- the bride sure does look rattled... great capture!

[Dave Schofield]

topsy!
Noise?
You have guts, or maybe shooting a wedding is easy because everyone is snapping away? hmmm.

[marg]

She doesn't look too thrilled. I wonder if it was an arranged marriage? Fabulous pomp and ceremony.

[Netkonnexion]

Great shot. Wonderful to see the procession.

[MikiChelle]

Beautiful shot!
