What happen in case of rain day or other bad weather?
In case of rain, we make a call and ask to choose one of those three options:
1. Change the date.
It sucks to take pictures under the rain. In some cases you only have pictures with umbrella on. You might reserve an extra date for the off peak season, but not possible during the peak pre-wedding season, such as end of March - early April, and middle of November - middle of December.
2. Continue shooting.
Some people have limited schedule, especially if you are coming from outside of Japan.
But please remember that you might not able to shoot at some locations under the rain, and number of images might decrease dramatically.
When you make a travel plan, I recommend you to make at least two open days for the photo session in case of bad weather.
3. Cancel the shooting
Some people have tight schedule and only one date might be available. In that kind of case, you can cancel the shooting.
We will return the deposite. But for refound is only made via paypal, not via bank transfer if your bank account is based outside of Japan.
Do you have a hair make up service?
Yes. You can choose either visit our office in Kichijouji (about 20 min. from Shinjuku or Shibuya), or we come to your hotel.
If our stylist visit your hotel, it costs 15,000 yen plus travel expenses, or 10,000 yen if you visit our office.
