Why TAMAKI

What makes us different

01A cinematic film, included

Most studios in Japan shoot photos only. Every TAMAKI package includes a cinematic highlight film and a vertical reel for your socials — produced by a Japanese team with 4,000+ wedding films behind them.

02Transparent pricing

Full package prices are published on this site. What you see is what you pay — outfits, hair & make-up and retouched photos included.

03Shooting permits, handled

Many famous locations in Japan require official photography permits. We apply, we pay, we plan around the rules — so your day is smooth and worry-free.

04A reel before you fly home

Your vertical highlight reel is delivered while you are still in Japan — share the moment while it is still happening.

Booking with confidence

Three promises, before you pay a yen

You are booking a day in Japan from the other side of the world, with a team you have not met. These are the three things we put in writing first.

01

The price you see is the price you pay

Outfits, dressing, hair & make-up, shooting permits and the team’s transport are inside the package. Every option has a published number — nothing is “quoted later”.

02

90% back, whatever the reason

If you cancel — for any reason, at any point — we refund 90% of what you paid. Or we hold 100% of it as a credit, good until the same season next year. You are never trapped by a date.

03

A real company, not a booking form

TAMAKI is operated by CJC Inc., a Tokyo wedding-film company with more than 4,000 films behind it. Our full terms reach you in writing, and you confirm them, before anything is charged.

The craft

You are crossing an ocean for this. We shoot like we know it.

Japan’s wedding photography is known for its quiet, exacting craft. The creators who photograph for TAMAKI are hand-picked from that world — you see their real work on this site, and the style you fall in love with is the style that arrives on your shoot day.

Everyone on this team holds the same standard: for couples who travel this far to be photographed in Japan, we bring the finest work we know how to make — photographs and film worth a lifetime.

The name

環 — an unbroken circle

TAMAKI (環) is an old Japanese word for a ring: a circle with no beginning and no end. Two lives meet in Japan, and become one. Our story
