Sand Dune Pre-Wedding Shoot is Amazing...!
Have you ever been to a sand dune?
A sand dune is a hill-like landform created by the accumulation of sand transported by the wind. It is a natural spot that typically forms in areas that are sandy, windy, and dry.
In Japan, we have the Tottori Sand Dunes, while overseas, places like the UAE (Abu Dhabi and Dubai) are known as desert countries, along with the famous Sahara Desert that stretches across Africa.
Some couples are choosing to have their pre-wedding photos taken at such sand dunes♡
✅ "Because there are sand dunes in my hometown, it's a familiar place"
✅ "I wanted to shoot in nature, but I wanted to try a location that is different from the usual beaches or flower fields"
✅ "Because it seems like it would create a rustic atmosphere with cliffs and rocky areas"
✅ "Because you can see the sunset beautifully"
Many people seem to choose sand dunes for these reasons♩
Let me introduce you to the types of photos you can take.
Here are some sand dune wedding photos you can capture♩

I'm curious about sand dune pre-wedding shoots♩
While it's still quite rare, there are couples who have actually taken wedding photos at Tottori Sand Dunes and Nakatajima Sand Dunes in Shizuoka♡
The sand dunes have a unique atmosphere that differs from location spots like beaches, mountains, or parks.
I think it's perfect for those who want to capture rustic wedding photos in the great outdoors♩
