WHAT IS IT LIKE TO HAVE

AN ELOPEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER AND GUIDE

IN JAPAN?

HEAR WHAT MY COUPLES SAY

"We live in traditional community, all my friends before us got married in a traditional way, often just because they were expected to do so. I can’t say enough great things about Henry. He was recommended for an engagement portrait session but then I realized he can help me make my dream of elopement in Japan come true to have more meaningful wedding day.

Henry started working way before any picture was taken. Because he wanted to truly get to know me and my partner, learn about what we like, recommended other vendors that matched our style, and even prepared a suggested itinerary for our whole wedding day I felt well taken care of. I often heard stories from my friends about their wedding day being totally taken over by wedding planners and venue staff, Henry gave us all the freedom we wanted to include all our requests.

We said our vows with a most epic view of Mt. Fuji in the background. Henry hiked with us all day and captured every magical moment. Every picture is so beautiful, I cried just seeing them on the camera screen. He totally let us be the way we truly and naturally are. Henry was so helpful with hiking tips, encouraging us, as we are not so frequently used to hiking. He is such a nice guy. He put so much effort without being even the slightest bit intrusive, respecting our privacy and intimacy of the day. I will recommend him to all my friends who still have to get married. I want to do it all over again!"

HI THERE!

THIS IS ME, HENRY, AN ADVENTUROUS PHOTOGRAPHER, READY TO MAKE YOUR ELOPEMENT DREAM A REALITY.

My whole life is an adventure, whether I plan it or not. I’m originally from Europe, small town in the middle of Mediterranean. I love to get off the beaten path and enjoy the powerful simplicity of just being present in the magnificence of nature.

Life has led me to Japan and I'm here to make your elopement in Japan a dream come true!

I believe that everyone has the right to experience the freedom to be themselves - it’s the most liberating experience and will make you a happy person.

You will get my 120%

There is nothing I wouldn’t do for you to get you to feel that on your wedding day. Having that special someone that you can share that feeling with is for me the ultimate meaning of a true relationship. Whether you want to get on the glacier, hike up the top of the mountain, sail the bluest sea, or eat the most amazing home cooked dish on a deserted island, I will get you there and capture your story.

I believe that the elopement or the intimate wedding is the best way to have the most unforgettable and meaningful wedding experience. It is my passion to empower you to make this brave decision. That's why I’m super psyched to get to know you and help you plan this awesome adventure together.

Choosing a photographer and an elopement planner for your elopement in Japan

WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT?

HOW I STAND OUT FROM YOUR AVERAGE PHOTOGRAPHER or planner IN JAPAN?

I LIVE IN JAPAN, BUT I’m not Japanese. I understand Western mindset and expectations and I will be your bridge to this amazing culture and people where I now live.

1

I have experience. 100% of my work is shooting outside, more than any other photographer in Japan. I set standards by exploring locations and introducing new places. Every couple is unique and you deserve a unique place, not some run down or fake spot that hundreds of couples have been to before. AND EVEN THEN, I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE THAT KIND OF PLACE.

2

I have a fresh outlook. Because I’m a foreigner in Japan, I see old things with new eyes. I make every location look special and introduce elements that LOCAL PEOPLE wouldn’t expect to find there.

3

I don’t have a pattern. You are unique and I deliver unique experience to each couple each time by default, not a pricey "PREMIUM" add-on.

4

MY WEDDING EXPERIENCES COME WITHOUT RULES. For a day, you can be anything you ever wanted to be without the fear of judgment for doing something out of ordinary. I welcome it all. With me, you can be your true self.

				I would highly reccomend Henry Delac Weddings to anyone looking to get married in Japan. My husband and I decided we wanted an intimate wedding with only 3 guests and Henry and his team made our dream wedding a reality. The whole planning process took about 9 months from first consultation and choosing a date to our wedding day, which was perfect for us as we didn't want to be wedding planning for years on end or rushed. Henry & his team handled everything and kept us updated every step of the way. The communication was clear and organised and the questionnaires they provided made it simple to let them know exactly what we wanted for our special day. Henry, Ayako & Yoshimi made sure that we had complete control of our wedding day so that it was perfect for us as a couple. My husband and I even had to make some very last minute changes to our plans and Henry and his team accommodated our changes without sacrificing any of the magic of our wedding day. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect for us and that's due to the dedication of Henry, Ayako & Yoshimi.

				Not even sure where to start, truly. When my fiancée and I began researching eloping in Japan, I never thought I’d stumble upon a team like Henry’s, that would later on give us the most magical, breathtaking, and fairy tale elopement experience that we could have ever asked for. Since our first conversations with Henry and his team, Ayako, Yoshimi, we felt completely at ease about the entire process. They truly made everything throughout the planning stage as easy and seamless as possible. They thoroughly listened to our wants, our vision, and also supported and nudged us to explore even better options (locations) that we weren’t aware of! I very much struggle with anxiety, so as you can imagine, planning an elopement in another country across the world, in a country where I don’t speak the native language, would typically send me into paralysis. Not once did I feel anxious, confused, or anything other than complete and total trust in his incredible team. Fast forward to our magical day- I literally could not have even imagined a more stunning and emotional elopement day with the love of my life. From the location, to how comfortable we were with Henry, chatting and getting to know one another, joking around, to getting my hair done, beautifully, might I add, to the officiant’s speech, which made both of us cry, it was so beautiful and meaningful, to traveling around to multiple other locations for more stunning photographs… the day was truly a dream, and I still can’t believe how perfect it was. Henry is so incredibly talented, and has such an eye for photography, I could not get over how fun and exciting the whole process was, and knowing that we’d have the most breathtaking photographs to come out of it was just a plus in our eyes. We were just grateful to get to explore the gorgeous city of Kyoto and celebrate our love and marriage. Our driver even recommended traveling on a different route to one of our other locations in order for us to experience the beauty of the city even more on our special day. Above and beyond doesn’t even cut it, truly. We felt so special. I cannot recommend working with them enough. Absolutely 1000000/100 experience that we will take with us for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to have met Henry and his phenomenal team. If you are looking to do something similar for your elopement, honestly look no further, they are absolutely everything you’d need and want for the day you commit to your partner for the rest of your lives. Cannot thank this team enough for the memories they have given us for a lifetime.

				Henry and Ayako were so amazing to work with and really helped us plan the most special day we could ask for. From helping plan and translate the shrine ceremony, to taking wonderful photos around the cherry blossoms, everything was amazing. We tend to be an introverted couple, but they were so warm and welcoming, that at the end of everything we felt comfortable just being our goofy selves. Seriously though, thank you for making the most special vow renewal into a memory we will never forget!!❤️

YOU CAN HAVE EVERYTHING:

Elope just with your partner

We are all about elopement in Japan for you because it matters.

Invite a few of your closest people

Invite your closest family and friends

The difference is that only the people who truly care and support you will be there for you. Isn’t this what the wedding is supposed to be about? It’s not entertainment or a performance that you should put on for others.

It is entering a new life with your loved one. It is an intimate, meaningful, experience that should be personal and stress-free.

There is no second chance. Don’t miss out on the real meaning of a wedding just to satisfy the selfish tradition. Don’t be afraid of the change. Me and my team will work with you to fit in everything you dream of and more.
