The Hotel Kabuki is a beautiful, luxurious hotel in the bustling San Francisco Japantown. With a secluded outdoor Japanese garden, the Hotel Kabuki would be a great wedding venue! If any of you brides and grooms are planning to have your reception and/or ceremony at the Hotel Kabuki, please contact us and let’s talk about what we can do for you. Lots of picturesque locations throughout the hotel itself including a very nice second-floor bar. So it was only natural as to why a number of people had wondered why we didn’t do any photoshoots inside the Hotel Kabuki, the answer is simple: because there were hundreds of other photographers taking photos in there. Plus it was extremely crowded. As with wedding photography, at Bui Photography, we stand-out from the crowd. So rather than competing for space and having similar looking photos to other cosplay photographers, we opted to go somewhere else to create art: outside and around Japantown.
