While visiting Meiji Shrine in Tokyo on June 20, 2012, we witnessed a Traditional Japanese Wedding. As you can imagine, the tourists were now all taking photos like crazy.
They bride and groom had their own professional wedding photographer and videographer.

Preparing for wedding photos
With so many tourist taking photos of the couple, it is hard for them to focus on the 'official' photographer. The groom is actually looking at me instead!
The official photographer is not amused, and orders everyone to back off!
Now I am standing right behind the photographer, but the matchmaker is distracting them!
