I have never heard of people having a Shinto wedding who do not practice. Of course, being foreigners you would be under extra scrutiny as to your real intentions. Also realize that a Shinto ceremony is full of symbolism and rituals, which would require extensive studying on your part. Are you studying Japanese? Not to mention the kimonos you would have to rent, and you must learn to walk gracefully. I can only imagine what it costs to rent the kimonos as well (starting at several thousand US dollars).
If you re actually serious about this, I suggest doing a lot more research and then contacting a shrine.
If you re simply interested in Japan, consider taking your honeymoon here.
PS: Although there are western-style weddings in Japan, I think you would be highly disappointed- they re fake replicas of the real thing.
