the impermanence of everything.

Often considered untranslatable, mono no aware encapsulates a delicate truth:
that everything is fleeting — youth, seasons, faces, gestures — and that beauty lies not in permanence, but in our ability to feel while it lasts.

It is not sadness. It is presence.
A gentle awareness of time passing, and a reverence for all that is temporary.

Applying this idea to weddings allows for celebrations that are not only beautiful and memorable — but deeply meaningful.
Not because they are perfect, but because they are lived moment by moment.
Because the wind will change. The light will fade. And still — that’s where the meaning is.

Photography, for us, is a way of honoring what will soon disappear.
Not with mourning, but with presence. With gratitude.
With a quiet knowing that nothing lasts — and that’s exactly why it matters

間- is about finding beauty in the spaces in between, appreciating the profound charm of emptiness.

Photography is the art of embracing the in-between — the pause where stories breathe.
The moment before the shutter, the silence between movements, the unseen thread that connects.
Ma is where everything rests and everything begins.

うつろい - A Poetic Dance of Light and Shadow.

We see beauty in opposites. Light is only light because of its relationship to shadow.
Balance emerges in the invisible space between. A transparent poetry that gives meaning to the whole.
This is how we see. This is how we shoot.
