Wedding Photoshoot in Okinawa; Destination Wedding

Wedding in Okinawa,

like Bali, but Jap.

I'm the guy who fancies myself a photographer, and so was asked to take some back up photos at my best friend's destination wedding in Okinawa, 

Held in a beautiful white chapel at Lazor Garden Alivila. 

Like Minas Tirith with more glass and less depression.

Their wedding package included make up, professional photographers, venue, the ceremony with a pastor and a one woman choir, chinese style tea ceremony and a lunch reception for 30 pax.

Beach side chapel, with breath taking views and the best wedding food I've ever had. 

10/10 would renew my vows just so I can have their catering again.

It was a little overcast on the day of the ceremony, but it eventually cleared up , and it was spectacular with clear skies

I later realised he didnt even put on his bowtie.

After the chapel ceremony, they lined us up at the steps of the chapel and we tossed petals as the newly weds exited.

They also gave us balloons to release for a photo-op.

I was having too much fun being part of it all and regrettably didn't take any pictures.

The cake is not a lie

Scampi with pie crust. Absolutely delicious.

some chose pork over beef
