4worldlovers:
We are Tracey Taylor & Dee Green, photographers in Tokyo, Japan and the creative force behind 37 Frames. The very warmest welcome to our 37 Frames Story…

We love nothing more than telling life’s most beautiful stories, planning weddings and elopements all over Japan or wherever they may take us around the world. Our team specializes as Tokyo wedding photographers, engagement photographers, pre-wedding photographers, and portrait and family photographers.

Once upon a time we started in film. Remember the old 36 roll? Well, we always found we’d get that one more lucky shot, that extra photo at the end, that special something. A 37th frame... And that has been our road-map ever-since.

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 (and trends!).

Our Tokyo studio is located in the heart of Shinjuku with a dedicated professional wedding team for all your photography & planning needs.

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.

English speaking with a bilingual planning team, 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. We love to imagine what is possible when Japan is calling you…There is truly no other place on earth like it. You can get married in Japan.

Pre-wedding photography in Tokyo and Kyoto and in secret locations all over Japan is a 37 Frames specialty.

No prewedding packages here. Every prewedding is custom designed especially for you as a couple. Whether it’s a prewedding under wild cherry blossoms in the Japanese mountains, or on the Tottori sand dunes, in wild snow drenched Hokkaido, the shrines of Kyoto, the beaches of Okinawa or the Instagram-worthy streets of Tokyo, we work with you to create your dream prewedding in Japan.

As English speaking wedding photographers based in Japan, we know the best photography locations and always take a team photographer approach for beautiful cinematic-style photography coverage. A 37 Frames prewedding experience is about darling surprises, colour, light & emotion. Always with a few epic ‘we look like we’re in a bridal magazine’ photos. We can also help you arrange a Japanese traditional kimono for your prewedding if you’re after an authentic Japanese experience.

After over a decade as one of Asia’s leading wedding photography teams & a 20-year story that has taken us all over the world for stunning destination weddings & appointments, it was a natural evolution for us to move into planning weddings in Japan. Exquisite elopements have become one of our favourite experiences to photograph and plan.

As your elopement photographers in Japan, it’s all about the story, as unique as you are. As beautiful an experience as your dreamed of. Bundled with this, is our love of Japanese Shrine Wedding elopements for foreigners, a fascinating cultural experience as ethereal as it is magical. We do have an Elopement package for Shrine weddings in Japan. But our love is to plan custom-designed, once in a lifetime elopements in Japan, in untouched shrines, secret locations and stunning Japanese natural locations.

At 37 Frames we have have a unique approach and perspective on weddings in Japan, whether our team is photographing in a venerable UNESCO shrine in remote Japan or bustling contemporary Tokyo and Osaka, life is truly remarkable and Love Stories are always at the heart. We never know whose story we’re going to photograph next (or where!) next and that’s the joy.
