For couples who want to capture wedding photos that remain not only in records but also in memories, location shooting in **Hokkaido** is popular.
A romantic and extraordinary photoshoot in nature will be an unforgettable experience for the two of you♩
If you are considering pre-wedding or post-wedding shoots in Hokkaido, which photo studio should you request?
When searching online, many options come up...
“Studio SOLA” is Highly Recommended!!
If you're looking for wedding photo shoots in Hokkaido, there is a recommended studio here♡
That is **Studio SOLA**, a special studio in Hokkaido that is available only during the summer months.
Managed by Decorte Photography, which operates popular studios nationwide like **Studio AQUA** and **Studio TVB**, this photo studio opens only from July to September.

Such a popular studio, **Studio SOLA** has its own unique attractions.
How does it differ from other photo studios in Hokkaido and location shoots?
Let me introduce its charms in detail!
The Charm of “Studio SOLA” ① Permanent Studio in Asahikawa
One of the major features of **Studio SOLA** is that, despite being a seasonal studio, it has a real store in Asahikawa.
Summer in Hokkaido is cool and sunny, making the weather perfect. While there are many photo studios offering Hokkaido photo tours during the summer, most operate temporary studios by renting hotel spaces or venues for a limited time.
In such cases,
☑ Dress and accessory selections are limited
☑ Preparation rooms and makeup rooms may be cramped
☑ It can take time to move to the photo spots (reducing shoot time)
These are the disadvantages...!
**Studio SOLA** has been established in Asahikawa for 3 years.
Having a permanent store allows for a wide variety of costumes and accessories and provides ample space for preparation.
With staff who are familiar with local locations, you can leisurely tour various photo spots for about 10 hours, from preparation to shooting and wrapping up♡
With hospitality like a local photo studio, its photo quality is among the best in the country. That is the charm of **Studio SOLA**♩

The Charm of “Studio SOLA” ② Extensive Costume and Accessory Selection
At **Studio SOLA**, there are over 100 wedding dresses to choose from, allowing you to select your favorite design♡
During location photo tours, it’s not uncommon to find only a few dresses available onsite, leading to disappointing choices based on elimination.
The assurance that comes from having a wide lineup in a spacious real store is immense♡
With designs ranging from knee-length dresses to simple imported options that align with trends, you are sure to achieve a stylish bridal coordination.
Some brides change dresses and do touch-ups between photo spots as well♡
Since hair changes can also be arranged, it feels like you have done two shoots—pre and post!
Accessories to match the dresses are stylish imports sourced by the coordinators from New York.
Getting to wear coveted accessories by Jennifer Behr and Maria Elena while doing your pre and post shoots in Hokkaido is just the best!
Of course, there is a wide selection of tuxedos and accessories for grooms as well♩

The Charm of “Studio SOLA” ③ Enjoying a Leisurely Touristic Experience
Many couples plan their pre-wedding and post-wedding shoots as part of a pre-marriage trip, honeymoon, or anniversary trip.
With **Studio SOLA** located in Asahikawa, you can fully enjoy both the photoshoot and sightseeing.
For example,
On the first day, thoroughly tour photo spots for the shoot,
On the second day, visit Asahiyama Zoo, farms, and fruit orchards,
And on the third day, explore the Blue Pond and local gourmet spots, etc.♡
Grooms who hesitate at the thought of doing “pre-wedding or post-wedding shoots” might feel more inclined when prompted with “Let’s go sightseeing in Hokkaido!”♡
There have been many instances where the groom becomes excited while asking about sightseeing information during the consultation for the shoot.
Asahikawa Airport is just a 2 to 3.5-hour direct flight from Kanto and Kansai. **Studio SOLA** is a 20-minute drive from Asahikawa Airport.
It’s surprisingly easy to visit, which is delightful♡
You might also want to move to Sapporo for your return trip and enjoy Hokkaido to the fullest before heading home.
The Charm of “Studio SOLA” ④ Unique Locations Exclusive to SOLA
At **Studio SOLA**, you can not only shoot at popular photo spots in Hokkaido but also at locations unique to **Studio SOLA**.
☑ Ueno Farm
☑ Patchwork Hill
☑ Furano Flower Fields
☑ Roller Coaster Road
Of course, wedding photos in the great outdoors of Hokkaido...
And you can enjoy interacting with horses at **Clark Horse Garden**♩
There are plans available for shooting while riding separately, even if you have no horseback riding experience!

Additionally, there is an option to shoot at the Asahiyama Zoo after final entry, giving you almost a private experience!
**Studio SOLA** is the only photo studio that can arrange for a shoot at Asahiyama Zoo♡
This is a plan made possible due to its local roots in Asahikawa. (A portion of the shooting fee is reportedly donated to the zoo!)
You could change from your tuxedo and dress into casual wear for a shoot reminiscent of engagement photos.
At the Snow Museum, you can capture classical and chic wedding photos different from the grandeur of nature♡

What is the Flow of Shooting at “Studio SOLA” Like?
How does a typical day for pre-wedding and post-wedding shoots go?
In the popular photo plan that tours two locations in Furano, you start with a meeting and costume selection at 8 AM, spending about two hours on hair and makeup.
You leave the studio at 11 AM and start shooting from noon, going on until the afternoon♡
By 4:30 PM, you'll return to the studio for a leisurely break while reflecting on the day’s photos.
Since you’ll be touring photo spots throughout the day, it feels like a sightseeing trip♩
What is the Recommended Season for Location Photos in Hokkaido?♡
**Studio SOLA** opens from July to September. When is the best time to go?
Here are the charms of each month♡
◆◆ Charm of July ◆◆
The charm of July is, of course, the lavender fields! The period when lavender is in full bloom is very short, only about two weeks, making it quite precious♡
◆◆ Charm of August ◆◆
The charm of August is the colorful flowers!
Blue salvia and sunflowers greet you with a carpet of vibrant flowers.
It feels like stepping into a storybook…♡

September continues with the beautiful colorful flower fields as in August!

Also, flight and hotel prices are very affordable in this month◎
