Q: I want to take pictures of beautiful Sakura, but I don’t like too many passers-by in the background, what are your suggestions and recommendations?

A: When choosing a location to shoot: Read about the following cities, and where do you think the Sakura are most famous?

Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe, Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Sapporo, Chiba, Omiya, Okinawa…….

The top one or two answers that pop up in your mind, please eliminate them directly! The rest, that’s what we recommend.

When choosing a shooting spot: Google enter the name of the city and Sakura keywords, and the recommended place name that pops up on the homepage, please try to avoid it!

For example, “Kyoto Sakura” appears on the front page of the Philosopher’s Path, Kiyomizudera Temple, Keage Incline, Fushimi Inari, ……. Please don’t go at all!

Reason: You’ve heard of it, you’ve heard of it; If you can find it, people all over the world can find it. Niche low-key is the best policy!

Q: I still go to Kyoto Kage Sakura, but I really don’t like the crowds, what should I do?

A: The location is selected to avoid the concentration of people; Or, only select 1 famous Kyoto scenic spot, and accept the other sincere recommendations and arrangements from the Japanese side. After all, the filming team also hopes to shoot a place with “few people and beautiful scenery”, and everyone’s original intention is the same. 😊

In addition, refer to the principle of “risk diversification” in investment theory, choose a location, and do not blindly pursue a “single element”. For example, only Sakura are pursued, and other photographic elements are missing. In the event of a force majeure event in which Sakura do not bloom or Rainy Day, the background of the photo will lack photogenicity.

Therefore, please be sure to choose a location with architecture, landscape, layout, and style. In this way, no matter how natural force majeure is encountered, you can still take beautiful wedding photos worth remembering.
