You are welcome to wear anything you feel that best represents you! There are no strict dress code in Japanese temples and shrines, but it is recommended to stick to something comfy and conservative. Avoid loud prints or logos if possible. For couples, family or group portraits, a similar tone would create a unified feeling in the photos. Of course, you can always play dress-up and even bring props. Changing outfits is possible in 1 hour sessions or longer. Please have the outfits ready during the session. Please understand that the photographer will not be responsible for carrying the client's items during the session.
