The Meiji Shrine, dedicated to memory of the late emperor and his wife, is one of the most beautiful and peaceful areas in Tokyo. One follows a road through a heavily wooded botanical gardens until one reaches the temple buildings themselves, a faithful reconstruction of the structures destroyed by bombing during World War II.
The shrine is also apparently the location for traditional Japanese weddings. One weekend when I was visiting I was lucky enough to see such a ceremony. I stood on the side with tourists and took these pictures from a distance as the official wedding photographer did his work. I noticed the photographer was working with the best equipment available, including a Leaf camera back.
