Kagoshima. A professional, not me :) was taking pictures of this couple just married with the cherry blossoms.

Thank you very much for all your comments.

@alun lambert: Thank you very much alun lambert. I totally agree with you and a blur background would not change it. I would be very curious to see the pictures taken by the professional.

Very nice one! Except for the clothes, wedding photos all over the world seem to be quite alike, with the groom and bride happy, but at the same time a little apprehensive....

@vu@granby - Wolfgang: Thank you very much Wolfang. I have never participate to a wedding in Japan but I know that they change clothes many times and they wear one or more kimono during the ceremony and the white dress...

Superbes cerisiers en flaur et sourires prometteurs ! Belle lumière, ce qui ne gâte rien !

Très beau portrait bien cadré ,gai et ensoleillé ! bien sûr ils regardaient le photographe donc il n'y a pas l'expression du regard direct mais c'est très réussi!

Un double portrait plein de bonheur (pourvu que ça dure !!) et de fraîcheur. Les japonais se marient -ils encore souvent en costume traditionnel ou as-tu eu beaucoup de chance de rencontrer ces 2 tourtereaux là ?

@Evelyne Dubos: Merci Evelyne. Le costume traditionnel est une generalite par contre c'est la 2eme fois cette annee que je vois une seance photo de mariage alors que je me promene parmi les cerisiers, et cela est exceptionnel.
