MARUNG

we have answers to

your questions

How would you best describe your style?

We love turning each photo into a piece of art—Romantic, Timeless, and Refined.
We want to tell your beautiful love story through every fine art photograph. Our approach is to capture your genuine moments and make them timeless portraits.

Where are you based?

We are based in Tokyo, Japan, serve other prefectures, and can travel worldwide.

How many hours before you respond to an inquiry?

We’ll try to get back to you as soon as possible, but please bear with us because there are times when we are fully occupied, so when you do not hear from us within 48 hours, please resend an email or check your spam mail.

Is your wedding package flexible?

We have our basic rates and details, but we can propose a custom package tailored to your vision for your celebration. Please let us know if you have questions about our packages and services or don’t see what you are looking for, and we will find something that will work for you.

Why is it required to have an engagement session before the wedding?

It is vital to build a good relationship for you to be comfortable working with us. We will teach you the do’s and don’ts in the engagement session to make you more confident on your wedding day. Think of it as a dress rehearsal.

Do you provide the RAW files from my engagement and wedding day?

Since we are shooting hybrid, digital, and film photos, we are not giving the raw files. We will cull the images and give everything with our color edits according to our brand to maintain the timeless quality and also that’s included in your photography investment. However, the edits are limited to color grading, not heavy retouching.

How many photographs will we receive?

We will cull the images and remove the unusable photos.
Generally, for the engagement, about 100-150 photographs or more, depending on the outcome of our shoot. For the wedding, we will deliver more than 500 photographs. You’ll get almost everything.

Do you own the copyright, and do we get usage rights?

MARU owns the copyright to all the photos taken by us. However, clients are granted personal usage rights to the pictures, which allow them to reproduce, display, distribute, and create derivative works of the photographs either in digital or print form, email distribution, framed prints, and canvases.
This license is for your personal use only. Please do not use it for commercial purposes without Maru’s permission.

Can I post our photos on social media or personal blogs?

Yes, we love when you show off those favorite shots on your social media sites. We ask that you give any photos you share online a photo credit #marufineart and please do not use any filters or special effects to preserve the integrity of the creative work and style.

Do you offer heirloom albums?

Yes, we offer custom-designed heirloom albums. To learn more, please see this page.
