Barbara and Lyman were so fun to work with, and it was great to have the opportunity to photograph their traditional Japanese ceremony. They had their wedding ceremony at the Buddhist Church of Oakland, and wedding reception at Caffè Verbena. Barbara had some KILLER dresses for the ceremony and reception, check out the photos to take a look!

Check out that Kimono! Barbara had it imported from Japan. So COOL!

Instead of flowers, Barbara had a fan, and the bridesmaids had a fan, a small sword, and a purse.

The tea drinking ceremony.

I love the blue on Barbara’s dress! It’s always nice to see a unique wedding dress once in awhile.

The green tea cake fit the Japanese wedding perfectly.

Barbara looking STUNNING in her red dress at the reception.

Her friends and family seem to agree too.
