    Wow, this is pretty cool! Congratulations to the couple. Great pictures! Thanks for sharing! ^^

  2. shibuya246

    Thanks. I found it really difficult to take these photos because there were so many people with cameras battling for positions. I had to hold the camera above my head and guess most of the time. It was worth it though, because the atmosphere was great. I dont think it was shown on TV. It was more like a family event with thousands in the cast of extended family. Very well done by T&G Wedding

  3. qqq

    Well, that beats my wedding.

  4. Erina

    Wow~~! amazing! Nice pictures! How much cost this wedding?? Zero?????

  5. Austin Otaku

    Wow, for guessing and snapping shots, these turned out to be very good pictures. Great job!

  6. Tami

    Wow... thats something to be envious of. Thumbs up big time for them! Very nice pictures and thanks for sharing, this warms up the heart. :) *sniffle* gee... a normal wedding can't catch me, but this is just to good!! ^^;

  7. Sanjo-chan

    Awesome pictures! I want to have a wedding like that someday, especially since I absolutely adore UC Gundam! ^_^

  8. Joana

    If I ever got married I'd want a wedding like that. So awesome not to mention original as hell. ^_^

  9. Protocol Snow

    Great photos! I love how the Gundam looks like he's staring up at all the balloons.

  10. shibuya246

    I dont know what the cost was, but it definitely wouldnt be zero :)

  11. shibuya246

    I think Gundam is jealous that the balloons are flying away ;)

  12. Jenny

    That is just awesome!!! Congrates!

  13. EdwinRSA

  14. wah

    Not to be a jerk, but the official romanization of "Seira" is "Sayla"

  15. freedomwv

    Another one of those `only in Japan` moments.

  16. anon

    wow nice pictures, i'm so jealous. haha btw.: the twitterlink from "follow shibuya.." points to a wrong link ^^

  17. shibuya246

    Thanks. I tried to find the link but it seems to be properly going to http://twitter.com/shibuya246 Is that what you saw? Thanks for pointing it out.

  18. Gweb

    Posting here, just in case you don't see the JapanSoc comments. These pictures are amazing (especially the Gundam surrounded by the balloons and the silhouette of the bride). One question however. What kind of music were they playing at the wedding? -NagoyaGA

  19. alafista

    You took really great photos even though it was an event at night.

  20. shibuya246

    Thanks. I dont like using a flash so I tried to buy equipment that can work well in low light. The lens I use normally picks up background colors really well so that is good also.

  21. shibuya246

    Thank you so much. I appreciate you posting your comment here as well :)

  25. Scot

    Was this a second wedding for an already married couple or a second marriage for two divorcees ?

  26. shibuya246

    I think a second marriage after marriages to different people on both sides
