Welcome to 37 Frames, the heart of exceptional wedding and elopement photography in Japan. We are Tracey Taylor & Dee Green, the creative force behind 37 Frames. Based in Tokyo, we lead our creative team in capturing the essence of love stories across Japan, from Tokyo's vibrant cityscapes to Kyoto's serene temples.
As dedicated wedding planners and photographers, we specialize in creating natural, timeless images and meticulously planned celebrations. Our work isn't just about taking pictures; it's about telling stories. Whether it's a grand wedding in bustling Tokyo, a romantic elopement in the picturesque Kyoto, or a unique pre-wedding session in hidden Japanese locales, our team at 37 Frames is committed to crafting memories that are as enduring as they are beautiful. Our team specializes as Tokyo wedding photographers, engagement photographers, pre-wedding photographers, and portrait and family photographers.
Our journey began with film photography, inspired by the magic of the '37th frame' - that extra, unexpected shot at the end of a 36 frame roll of film. That '37th' frame always seemed to capture something truly special. This philosophy guides our approach to every wedding and elopement we plan and photograph. We strive to find that extra, unique moment in every event, telling your story with authenticity and a touch of cinematic flair.
With beautiful authentic weddings & love stories our muse, we are passionate about creating stunning, timeless legacies beyond the expected. Our images are candid & authentic, natural & real. They are clean and professional, they are timeless & romantic with a touch of film-look. Images which will stand the test of time.
Our Tokyo studio, nestled in the heart of Shinjuku, serves as the hub for our full-service wedding planning and photography team. Here, we cater to all your needs, from capturing candid, heartfelt moments to orchestrating every detail of your dream wedding across Japan. We work in various locations, including the snowy landscapes of Hokkaido, the tranquil shores of Okinawa, and beyond to global destinations like Italy, Australia, and the USA.
As full service wedding professionals, we are also dedicated wedding planners in Japan, working alongside our award-winning photography studio. We plan weddings in Japan as well as beautiful overseas destination weddings from Hokkaido to Kyushu, from Tokyo to Kyoto as well as Italy, Australia, USA, Bali, Barbados, and more. We are here to help navigate all the intricacies, cultural differences and common obstacles to create your dream celebration for you & your family and friends. With vast experience in weddings globally, we weave that professional knowledge with devotion to storytelling to plan and produce your perfect destination wedding in Japan.
Whether it's at a mountaintop shrine, lakeside with Mt Fuji or under endless blossoms in the remote countryside we believe there is always a way, we may just have to make our own way in the process. Elopement weddings and pre-weddings are also a specialty.
Our bilingual team is adept at navigating cultural nuances, ensuring your wedding or elopement in Japan is seamless and stress-free. We don't offer cookie-cutter packages; each event is a unique journey, tailored to your vision. Whether it's sourcing the perfect venue, coordinating the day, or capturing the essence of your celebration in stunning photographs, we're here to bring your dream to life. We can assist with full production of your big day, day of coordination or simply sourcing your dream location & making local connections & introductions on your behalf. Most importantly our promise is that it will be a personal journey. No elopement or wedding packages. Just your vision brought to life.
