Tokyo Station crowded with wedding photo shooters… Some annoying photographers “verbally abused” passersby.
Some people have actually been verbally abused by wedding photographers.
When we asked a person familiar with the police who have jurisdiction over the Tokyo Station area, he said, “It seems that we receive very few calls or complaints,” he continued.
Basically, the police will not do anything unless they receive a 110 call or a complaint. In a broad sense, wedding photography is the same as tourists taking pictures of Tokyo Station. So, basically, there is no need to submit an application for a road use permit. However, if you ignore traffic signals or block pedestrians, the police will have to act, so it is best to refrain from such behavior.
Although it would be rude to interfere with a wedding commemorative photo shoot as a milestone in one’s life, it seems that this situation is happening because of some ill-mannered bridal vendors.
In fact, on SNS
I think they are a bunch of idiots because the photographer and the bride were tongue-tied by the guy taking wedding photos at Nijubashi Bridge and Tokyo Station, saying they are in the way here. You guys are the ones in the way on a public street, so please be more modest.
[Claire] This is seriously disturbing. They’re taking pictures of the same composition, in the same outfit, and I don’t know what’s better. I’ll never forget being told to get out of the way because I’d be in the picture.
There were several reports of actual bridal vendors with bad manners who were verbally abusive and tongue-tied, such as the following.
Marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event for many people. It is understandable that many people want to take beautiful pictures to remember the event, but shouldn’t they behave with good manners when taking pictures?
