Surprise Proposal

There’s nothing more magical than a surprise proposal in Japan. I’ll help you choose the most romantic location and perfect timing to make the moment unforgettable.
With experience capturing countless “Yes” moments, I’ll blend into the scene so your partner can enjoy the surprise naturally, while I preserve every genuine emotion for you to treasure forever.

Whether strolling hand in hand through historic streets, wearing traditional kimonos, or enjoying peaceful gardens, I’ll capture the love, joy, and magic of your new chapter together.
These photos will let you relive your honeymoon again and again.

Family photos

Family trips are full of little moments that become the stories you tell for years to come. From bursts of laughter to quiet hugs, I’ll capture the true spirit of your time together.
I’m experienced in working with children, creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere so everyone can simply enjoy being in the moment while I document it all.

Osaka is my hometown — the place where I was born and raised — and it will always hold a special place in my heart.
This vibrant city is full of life, laughter, and warmth, making it a joy to photograph. At Osaka Castle Park, we’ll capture you against the impressive castle, framed by cherry blossoms in spring, fresh green leaves in summer, or fiery colors in autumn.
For a completely different energy, we can explore Dotonbori in the evening, where neon lights shimmer on the river and the city feels alive in every direction.

Kyoto is where Japan’s timeless beauty shines brightest. In Arashiyama, we can wander through the peaceful bamboo grove or along the riverside, surrounded by nature’s colors. In the heart of the city, Yasaka Pagoda rises gracefully above the traditional streets — the perfect backdrop for capturing the charm of old Japan.
Every season offers its own magic here, from spring blossoms to vivid autumn leaves.

Nara feels like stepping into a more peaceful time, where friendly deer roam freely through the vast Nara Park. I love photographing the joyful moments when you feed or play with them, framed by historic temples and beautiful nature. In spring, cherry blossoms fill the air; in autumn, the park glows with warm shades of red and gold — both seasons create unforgettable scenes.

Japan offers endless places to create beautiful memories. In Tokyo, we can capture the energy of Shibuya Crossing, the magic of Tokyo Disneyland, or peaceful moments in a quiet garden. If you’re looking for a nature escape, Hokkaido is breathtaking — a sea of colorful flowers in summer, and in winter, a sparkling snow-covered wonderland that feels like another world.

5/5
Manu extremely professional, informative, and friendly. He took the time to get to know us and made recommendations based on our initial conversation. He was personable making the photo shoot comfortable. Such an enjoyable experience. Received the edited pictures timely and was completely blown away with the final product. I highly recommend hiring Manu. Planning to re hire him the next time he decides to visit Hawaii to take more pictures. He was able to capture precious moments that will last a lifetime.
5/5
My family and I had the BEST TIME shooting with Manu! As soon as we met he was super nice, friendly and outgoing. He made us feel comfortable the whole time and suggested extra areas to shoot. He was beyond wonderful with my 3 year old so and my husband loved talking to him about the culture and food. My husband doesn’t usually like taking pictures but really enjoyed the time we spent with Manu. He told me he wished that we could hang out with him outside of shoot. He was extremely accommodating and very communicative as well as open to suggestions. He also sent us food recommendations after the shoot. I also asked if he could send me a few ahead of time and he was more than accommodating. The rest of the pictures came the very next day. We highly recommend Manu and hope to hire him again if we are ever in Osaka. Thank you Manu, it was an amazing experience!
