Traditional Japanese Wedding Pre-shoot Accessories: "Yorisohi-mamoru" *

When it comes to popular charms among brides, the "Yorisohi-mamoru" from Nogizaka Shrine in Minato, Tokyo is a favorite ♡

This charm, inspired by the groom's formal wear and the bride's white kimono, embodies the wish for the couple to stay close and cherish each other for a long time.

The Yorisohi-mamoru is also a popular shooting item for wedding pre-shoots ♩

A classic shot is the one shown in this pic, where the Yorisohi-mamoru is gently placed in the palm of the hand ♡

A photo where the couple cradles the charm tenderly is a must-have for brides who have gotten a Yorisohi-mamoru.＊

Apart from this standard shot, there are actually many, many ways to photograph using the Yorisohi-mamoru.＊

Brides who are planning a pre-shoot using the Yorisohi-mamoru should definitely check this out ♡

Pre-shoot Photo using Yorisohi-mamoru① Still in the Box＊

The first one I'll introduce is this pic ♡ At first glance, it seems like a standard photo, but...

The difference is that the Yorisohi-mamoru is resting in its box while placed in the palm!

It looks more organized compared to when it's taken out, and the bottom of the box resembles a folding screen, which is a nice touch ◎

Make sure to get both box and no-box versions photographed ♡

Pre-shoot Photo using Yorisohi-mamoru② With Petals♡

It's also popular to shoot while placing flower petals in hand along with the Yorisohi-mamoru.＊ It's vibrant and so cute!

During cherry blossom season, many brides photographed their Yorisohi-mamoru with cherry blossom petals ♡

Of course, in other seasons, you can challenge it with artificial flowers or flower petals too ♩

Pre-shoot Photo using Yorisohi-mamoru③ Holding in Hand♩

Not just resting in the palm, shots of the groom and bride each holding a Yorisohi-mamoru are also highly recommended.＊

Especially when combined with the hakama (traditional trousers) and white kimono, it creates a lovely connection with the Yorisohi-mamoru ♡

Pre-shoot Photo using Yorisohi-mamoru④ Holding the String♩

A shot where the couple holds the strings attached to the Yorisohi-mamoru is also wonderful.＊

It shows the charms closely held together by the couple ♡

For location shoots, brides should request backgrounds that evoke the seasons, such as fresh greenery, autumn leaves, or cherry blossoms, to be blurred in the shot ♩

Pre-shoot Photo using Yorisohi-mamoru⑥ Good♡

A "Good" hand sign with the thumb up ♡ By hooking the Yorisohi-mamoru onto the thumb, it creates this adorable wedding photo.＊

Combining it with a thumb photo where a face is drawn on the thumb would also be irresistibly cute!♡
