Wedding photos wrapped in flowers at the sand dunes♡
I found cute wedding photos with a natural taste on Instagram.
At natural locations like sand dunes and forests♡
Wrapped in flowers♡
Here are some wonderful pictures.
The wedding photos are taken by freelance photographer Mayu (@mayuoritura).

Mayu has previously worked as a cast member at Disney Florida and relocated to Cebu to work as a photographer, making her a global individual.
After returning to Japan during the COVID-19 pandemic, she started her current "pre-wedding in nature surrounded by flowers."
A photographer skilled at capturing natural poses
What Mayu values in her shoots is having the bride and groom feel natural, relaxed, and enjoy the session.
Originally, Mayu herself was the type who struggled with being photographed and would freeze when facing a camera, recalling memories from her coming-of-age photoshoot.
From that experience, she thought,
"Maybe if it were more like this, it would be less stressful...?"
"I want to be supportive of clients who have a hard time with photos."
She has been coming up with innovative ways of shooting, thinking about how to help ease stress during the session.
She adjusts angles for better-looking faces, positions of hands and weight, and the direction of gazes according to the light of the day, the desired finish, and the couple's expressions and atmosphere, ensuring that they can feel at ease on the day.
For beginner brides and grooms, it's crucial to have a photographer who not only captures good photos but also cares for their comfort during the session and teaches them various things; they are truly a wonderful and grateful presence.
No matter how amazing the background or lighting might be, if the expressions are tense or the poses are awkward, one can feel a sense of discomfort when looking at them later. Such photos often become ones you don’t want to revisit.
However, in Mayu’s wedding photos, all the couples convey a soft and unpretentious atmosphere, and you can tell they are enjoying the session.
✅ Surrounded by flowers and nature,
✅ Blending in naturally
✅ For those who love natural and cute styling
✅ And a nuanced aesthetic,
You will surely be a perfect match with Mayu♡
The "Sand Dunes and Flowers" plan is popular
One of Mayu's popular photo plans is the “Sand Dunes and Flowers” plan, which allows for photo weddings at the sand dunes.
At Nakatajima Sand Dunes, one of Japan's three major sand dunes located in Hamamatsu City, you can take pictures with adorable floral decorations.
The combination of sprawling sand dunes and blooming flowers is an attractive and unique scenery♡
The floral decorations are actually made from fresh flowers♡
They prepare a variety of fresh flowers along with arches, carpets, and furniture, setting them up specifically for you on the dunes.
It's amazing that instead of using artificial flowers repetitively, each setup is custom-made with fresh flowers!
Take your time to enjoy the photos taken by Mayu, focusing on the sets, atmosphere, and poses.

How did you like it...?
Mayu’s wedding photos ooze the couple's natural, relaxed appearances and the cuteness of the flowers... they were truly wonderful.
Not a flashy or stiff atmosphere, but a gentle and soft ambiance that seems to blend naturally with the surroundings yet is stylish, cool, and has great taste.
I felt that was the reason for its popularity♡
The “Sand Dunes and Flowers” plan is priced at 298,000 yen with floral decorations and 198,000 yen without.
In addition to photos at the sand dunes, she also does location photography in Saitama, Karuizawa, parks and forests in Hamamatsu, and by the sea in Miyazaki.
Even if you might think you can't travel far to Hamamatsu... there’s still a chance for brides to ask Mayu!
