05

What if it rains?

A: If it rains, we’ll simply move the session indoors. While changing the date is usually difficult, we can adjust the time a little to match the weather.

06

Can we do a legal wedding?

A: This is a symbolic ceremony and photo shoot, not a legal marriage. You’ll create beautiful memories, not paperwork.

Is the photo location far? How do we get there?

A: Some photo locations may require a short drive from the meeting point. As part of our service, we will also be heading to the location by car, and you are welcome to join us for the ride. This is simply to make your experience smoother — we’re happy to support your journey to the site.
