A Heartwarming Reunion: Pre-Wedding Photoshoot in Osaka With a Couple I First Met in Arashiyama!!

Posted Posted in OSAKA

A couple I photographed during their proposal session in Arashiyama returned to Japan and booked another photoshoot with me in Osaka. Their proposal shoot in Kyoto had left such a strong impression on me because we had such a genuinely fun time together. Since then, we had stayed connected on Instagram, so it wasn’t as if we lost touch completely. Still, when they reached out again to book another session during their trip to Japan, I was truly excited and felt incredibly grateful. I had been looking forward to seeing them even before the shoot day arrived.

When we finally reunited at our meeting spot, it felt as if no time had passed at all. They were exactly the same warm, bright, and cheerful couple I remembered from our first photoshoot in Arashiyama. I had already selected several photo locations in Osaka based on their preferences, and I took them around while keeping their requested poses in mind. Since it was a busy time of day, some spots were a bit challenging because of the crowds, but creating photos together in real time made the whole process even more enjoyable.

Every time I showed them the images on my camera, they reacted with such joy that it made me genuinely happy to be photographing them again. Moments like these remind me how meaningful this job is. When couples I photographed years ago return to Japan and choose me again as their photographer, I feel deeply honored and grateful beyond words.

I hope I can visit Singapore someday and reunite with them again. It was truly wonderful seeing them, and I’m already looking forward to the next time they visit Japan.

Peaceful Maternity Photoshoot at Osaka Castle Park After the Rain!!

Posted Posted in OSAKA

I recently photographed a beautiful couple for their maternity photoshoot at Osaka Castle Park. It had been raining earlier that day, so I was a little worried. But right when our session started, the rain stopped completely. The air felt fresh and clear after the rain, and with almost no one around, it turned into the perfect setting for a relaxed and intimate photoshoot.

They brought an ultrasound photo of their baby, so we captured some lovely moments with the picture placed gently on the mother’s belly. I also photographed her softly touching her stomach, and the two of them sharing quiet, heartfelt moments together. They were incredibly calm, kind and gentle, and as I photographed them, I couldn’t help but feel they will be wonderful parents.

Every location I guided them to became one of their favorites, and they handled every posing idea I suggested beautifully. A new life coming into the world is always something to celebrate, and I truly hope their baby arrives safely and healthy. I also hope they return to Japan one day with their child.
Thank you both for such a wonderful and warm session. I really enjoyed it.

A Beautiful Morning Proposal Photoshoot in Kyoto!!

Posted Posted in KYOTO

In early November, I had the chance to photograph a wonderful couple during their surprise proposal in Kyoto. To avoid the crowds, we planned a morning photoshoot around 9am. It worked perfectly because the area was still quiet, allowing the entire proposal to unfold smoothly and without any distractions.

She had no idea what was about to happen, and the look of surprise on her face was unforgettable. Her expression was full of happiness, and capturing that genuine joy through my camera made me feel happy too. They loved the photos from the proposal, and afterwards we continued taking pictures in several spots where the autumn colors had just begun to appear. They enjoyed every location and told me how much they loved each photo.

They were such a cheerful and warm couple, and we spent the whole session talking and laughing together. It was truly a fun and memorable hour, and I am grateful they chose me to photograph such an important moment in their lives.
Congratulations again to both of you. I hope you visit Japan again someday!!

Beautiful Family Photoshoot in Kyoto’s Gion District!!

Posted Posted in KYOTO

I had the pleasure of doing a wonderful family photoshoot in Kyoto’s Gion area. To avoid the crowds, we met early in the morning and started the session right away. The family was traveling in Japan with a very small baby, and the moment I met her, I was completely captivated—she was such an adorable little one.

Both parents were calm, cheerful, and had beautiful smiles. They wanted photos with traditional Japanese buildings and scenery, so we began the shoot in a part of Gion that requires a photography permit. They loved the location, and we captured many different angles and styles there. I photographed the parents lifting the baby high to make her smile, and natural moments of them walking together with joy.

Afterwards, we walked to areas with historic buildings and also a large park for more shots. The one-hour session was full and productive, and the baby was in a great mood, cooperating perfectly. As a result, we captured many beautiful photos. The family loved the pictures and said they were exactly what they had hoped for, which made me feel so happy and grateful to be chosen as their photographer.

I hope they come back to Japan again—I would love to photograph them again!

Fun Night Photography in Osaka with a Friendly Couple!!

Posted Posted in OSAKA

I had an amazing night photoshoot with a wonderful couple in Osaka. From our initial messages, I could tell they were very friendly and enthusiastic about Japanese culture. They even shared detailed ideas of the types of photos they wanted beforehand, which helped me plan the perfect shooting route for them.

The couple was exactly as I imagined—bright, cheerful, and fun to work with. We started our session at a capsule toy shop, one of their requests. I captured them choosing toys and walking around the shop, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. I also found a Dragon Ball capsule toy I had been wanting, and they were genuinely excited with me, treating me like a friend.

After that, we explored many locations filled with neon lights and hidden streets that only locals know. Thanks to their willingness to walk around for a long time, we were able to capture so many great shots. I truly enjoyed photographing this couple, and I absolutely love their smiles.

I hope they visit Japan again soon—I would love to shoot with them again!

I recently had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful couple’s proposal at Osaka Castle Park. The timing was perfect, just before sunset, when the golden light made the park look magical. I arrived a little early to prepare, and thanks to the couple arriving on time, we were able to use the full hour for the photoshoot.

The proposal was a complete success, and seeing her joyful reaction while capturing it on camera made me incredibly happy. Proposal photography is one of my favorite types of shoots, and moments like this are exactly why.

Surprise Proposal Photography in a Secluded Kyoto Spot!!

Posted Posted in KYOTO

I recently had the pleasure of capturing a surprise proposal in a quiet area just outside central Kyoto. Since it was my first time shooting at this location, I scouted the area beforehand and selected a few of the best spots for photos. The site, by a beautiful river, was perfect for the proposal, and the couple planned with me to have the special moment there.

Even during the daytime, the area was surprisingly uncrowded, creating a relaxed and private atmosphere, which made the shoot run smoothly. The girlfriend had no idea about the proposal and was genuinely surprised, but her joy was truly heartwarming.

After the proposal, I guided them through various photo spots for a one-hour session. Every location produced beautiful photos, thanks to the couple’s natural expressions and genuine smiles in front of the camera. We captured many great shots at locations he had requested in advance, and they were thrilled with the results.

We spent the session walking around and chatting about anime, which made the hour fly by. Meeting them and connecting like friends was a truly wonderful experience. I hope they visit Japan again soon. Congratulations again on their engagement!

A Heartwarming Surprise Proposal in a Kyoto Japanese Garden!!

Posted Posted in KYOTO

At the end of September, I had the honor of photographing a surprise proposal in Kyoto. The couple planned to propose in the evening at a beautiful Japanese garden, so I arrived early to prepare and wait for them. Since it was a bit later in the day, the garden was less crowded, which made the photo shoot go smoothly.

As always, I approached them pretending to be a tourist and guided them to the perfect spot for the proposal. The moment he got down on one knee, she was completely surprised—her expression was filled with shock and joy. Moments later, tears of happiness streamed down her face as she embraced him tightly.

Even though it was our first time meeting, I felt truly moved while capturing that beautiful moment. They were such a lovely couple, and after the proposal, we continued taking photos around the garden. They enjoyed every moment of the shoot and showed me the most natural, happy smiles, which made it possible to capture many beautiful pictures.

Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer for such a special moment. Congratulations once again—and I hope to see you both again in Japan someday!

Romantic Surprise Proposal at Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto!!

Posted Posted in KYOTO

I recently photographed a beautiful surprise proposal at Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto. As many of you may know, Fushimi Inari is one of the most popular and crowded tourist destinations in Japan. To avoid the crowds as much as possible, we planned the proposal early in the morning. Even so, the shrine was already quite busy with visitors, and I was honestly worried about finding the right spot for the moment.

Fortunately, since this proposal was planned during the end of the year, there were a few quiet moments when the path of torii gates wasn’t too crowded. During one of those moments, he got down on one knee and proposed. His girlfriend was completely surprised and burst into tears of happiness—it was such a heartfelt moment.

They were traveling in Japan with their friends, and their friends were also overjoyed, celebrating their engagement with big smiles and laughter. After capturing the proposal, we moved to some quieter areas nearby to take more photos together. They told me how much they loved the photos and the locations I suggested, which made me really happy.

Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer to capture such an important and emotional moment in your lives. Congratulations again, and I hope to see you in Japan someday soon!

A Beautiful Surprise Proposal Photoshoot at Osaka Castle Park!!

Posted Posted in OSAKA

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful couple’s surprise proposal at Osaka Castle Park. They were traveling through Japan with their friends, and everyone—except the girlfriend, of course—already knew about the proposal plan. Because of that, the friends were incredibly supportive and helped make the surprise go perfectly smoothly.

She had absolutely no idea what was coming, so her reaction was full of joy and surprise. It was such a heartwarming moment to capture. Their friends were cheering and celebrating together, making it one of the happiest and most emotional proposals I’ve photographed in Osaka.

After the proposal, we took many fun and natural photos—walking, jumping, and laughing together in the park. It was a hot day, so we grabbed some drinks from a vending machine, and they loved the Japan-only Pepsi flavor! Even that simple moment turned into a joyful and genuine memory on camera.

They were such a lovely and friendly couple, and I felt so happy to photograph their special moment. Thank you so much for choosing me as your proposal photographer in Japan—I hope you visit Japan again someday!

At first, we considered doing the shoot at night in Nara, but after adjusting everyone’s schedules, we decided that Osaka would be the best location.

Her close friends were also involved in the plan and arrived ahead of time to help us prepare. Thanks to their support, the surprise was a huge success — the moment he proposed, she was completely shocked and immediately burst into happy tears. Seeing their friends celebrate so joyfully behind them made the moment even more special.

It was an unforgettable experience, and I feel truly grateful that I was able to capture such an emotional and meaningful moment through my camera.

Heartwarming Family Photoshoot at Osaka Castle and Namba!!

Posted Posted in OSAKA

I had the joy of meeting an amazing family with two incredibly kind parents and three adorable children. They booked two sessions with me: a morning shoot at Osaka Castle Park and an evening session in the Namba area. From the first moment, the children were so friendly and immediately treated me like a friend, holding my hand as we walked—it was absolutely heartwarming.

During both sessions, the kids were full of energy and posed happily in front of the camera, thanks to their parents encouraging them to enjoy the shoot. The parents themselves were gentle, kind, and supportive, making the entire experience smooth and fun.

For the evening session, I brought gummy candies for the kids, which they love. Even though the area was a bit crowded, the children cooperated wonderfully, and the shoot went smoothly. At the end, the oldest daughter gave me a drawing of me as a gift, which touched me deeply.

I am truly grateful to have spent such fun and memorable moments with this family. I can’t wait to see them again, and I hope they return to Japan soon so we can meet once more.
