Walking from the place where we got dressed to the main shrine complex - and look I'm messing about with my mobile phone. Shocking!
|
I like how relaxed and casual we look here. It was great how lots of passers by stopped to say congratulations to us.
|
There is the famous Itsukushima shrine seen from afar.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe this is the best of the several taken with the famous umi no tori in the background.
|
A close up of me and Chie with the tori in the background.
|
Strange soft focus / blur effect on this one taken in the shrine complex, but I rather like it nonetheless.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Really weird lighting here, I guess that is deliberate. One of my family commented this looked like the poster for a movie.
|
Chie walking through the cloisters with me looking on.
|
There's something in your eye Chie!

|
Nice to see the pagoda in the background here.
|
Another very pleasing picture with the famous gate in the background.
|
So Chie has changed her hat now, and seemingly it is emitting a kind of aura!

|
Me and Chie with her Mum and sister.
|
Also her Dad has joined in for this shot.
|
...plus some friends of the family here.

|
Chie and her sister - great.
|
Chie and her parents.
|
Me taking a picture.

|
Chie and Yanagiya-san, our wedding organiser.
|
Nice close-up on Chie.
|
Same thing again, with her facing the camera as opposed to that traditional Japanese look of peering reflectively downwards.

Chie and I having the ceremony explained to us by the Guji (shinto priest).
|
Proceeding towards the ceremony hall.
|
...still proceeding.
