What is an oath ceremony (yellowpment)?

It is a small ceremony where the two people exchange their feelings for each other. There is no need for large preparations or flashy displays like a wedding ceremony.
All that is needed is the feelings of the two of them and the words they want to convey.

What are you going to do?

The swearing-in ceremony proceeds in the following manner:

✉️
Expressing thoughts

There is time to read each other’s prepared messages and letters and to convey our thoughts.

🕊️
Reliable support

A dedicated facilitator (facilitator) will be there to watch over you and support you so that you can proceed with confidence.

💍
Customizing the ceremony

Depending on the wishes, you can also incorporate simple rituals such as exchanging rings.

📷
Capture special moments

The photographer captures the ceremony and leaves behind the expressions of the moment when they exchanged words.

They are chosen for such a couple

  • I want to add “time to express my feelings” to photo shoots
    This is an opportunity to properly convey the words "Thank you" and "I hope you'll be well in the future" that cannot be conveyed by just photos alone.
  • I don't want to go overboard with the wedding ceremony.
    The big ceremony is a burden, but just taking the photos isn’t enough. I want the two of you to find the “perfect form.”
  • “We want to create a ”place where we can properly express our feelings.”
    For couples who only want to register for citizenship, as well as for anniversaries, moments after proposing, and to commemorate renovations.

The Island of Lovers "Kurima Island"
Reasons why shooting and swearing ceremony are chosen

Kirimajima is a small island located southwest of Miyakojima. Even though it’s just a short drive across the Kamarao Bridge, the moment you step onto the island, there’s a strange sense of comfort that makes the passage of time seem to slow down.

The sea between Imazu Bridge and Miyako Blue
  • Because it’s a small island, you can create time for the two of you to be “uninterrupted.”
  • It hasn't become too touristy; it's still a natural environment in its purest form.
  • The sea's transparency and the sunset are overwhelmingly beautiful, making for great photos.
  • The movement is simple and the shooting location is also close.

The highlights that will stay with you are "Sunset"

What you should definitely experience on Kurima Island is the sunset that melts into the sea.
At Nagama Beach and the west side of the beach, the sunset time is like a “one-shot scene from a movie just for the two of you.” The wind and light blowing on the island create a special moment where you can feel a sense of gentle warmth.
