I had a photo shoot with two families in Arashiyama! These families were so close that at first, I thought the moms or dads were siblings. The atmosphere was so fun, and the shoot was a blast! We took group photos, individual family photos, and lots of shots of the kids. Everyone was dressed in yukatas, which looked amazing against the traditional Japanese backdrop like the bamboo forest. It was such a great time! Thank you all so much!

I had a great photo shoot with a lovely family in Osaka. The boy was adorable and very active, showing me his smile throughout the session. We started early in the morning to avoid the crowds and the heat, and there were only a few local people around, making it easy to take their photos. The mother was pregnant and asked me to take some photos highlighting her baby bump, which I was honored to do. The parents were incredibly friendly, and we had lots of conversations during the shoot. Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer—I was happy to capture your memories!

I just did a surprise proposal shoot in the Gion area of Kyoto! This time, I had to pretend I was looking for a model and approach the target, so I was a bit nervous, but it all went smoothly!

Surprise proposal video and photo shooting in Mt. Wakakusa of Nara!!

I filmed a surprise proposal video and took photos at the top of Wakakusa Mountain in Nara! It had been a while since my last video shoot, so I was a bit nervous. However, with all the equipment prepared, I captured a truly beautiful moment. Since there was no signal at the mountain’s peak, I couldn’t communicate with the couple, but they arrived soon after I started waiting on the trail. When he proposed, there were deer around, making it clear we were in Nara. She was overjoyed, smiling brightly for the camera. Both were incredibly kind, making it a wonderful experience. Thank you so much!

The shoot became a very special memory for me. Thank you so much! You two are the best couple!😊

A FUN shooting with a nice family in Kyoto!

I recently had a photo shoot with a very cheerful family in Gion area of Kyoto! They all had such lovely smiles, and we enjoyed the shoot with the mother at the center of the group. The Gion area wasn’t very crowded, so we were able to take photos smoothly. At Yasaka Koshindo Temple, they wrote their wishes on monkey balls and listened intently to my explanations, which made me happy. We also took many photos around Yasaka Pagoda and Maruyama Park. I captured natural moments of the mother and children, sisters, each family, and a cute little boy. They loved my photos, and I was so glad. Thank you for a truly enjoyable time!

Photoshooting in Osaka and Kyoto with a great couple!!

Posted 07/13/202407/14/2024 Manu AkamatsuPosted in OSAKA, KYOTO

I had an amazing photo shoot with a wonderful couple! We spent a total of three days together in Osaka and Kyoto. We started with a surprise proposal shoot at Osaka Castle, and from that day on, we felt like old friends, enjoying the photo shoots together. A few days later, we met up in Kyoto to shoot at Fushimi Inari and the Gion area, and then another day in Arashiyama. We brainstormed many photo ideas together and captured various compositions. They were always cheerful and smiling, and I felt like they were truly my friends. It wasn’t just my imagination; by the end of our three days together, they had become dear friends. We talked and laughed a lot during the shoots, and it was an incredible time. I had so much fun. Thank you! Let’s meet again in Japan or Mexico! I look forward to it!

A wonderful couple booked a photo shoot with me. It was a bit hot and humid that day, making it tough to walk around, but we managed to visit lots of different places and take photos. The Gion area was less crowded than usual, so we had a smooth session. When I showed them the photos, they were so happy, and I had a great time capturing their moments.

June is the hydrangea season, so I took them to a temple famous for its beautiful hydrangeas. The place was stunning, and we were really excited to take lots of photos. They were super friendly and treated me like a friend, making the two-hour session fly by.

Thank you so much for choosing my photography service. See you next time!

I recently had the pleasure of doing a family photo shoot in Nara! It was such a delightful experience. The little boy in the family was incredibly cute and greeted me with a big smile right from the start. Even though Nara Park is filled with deer, he wasn’t afraid at all and had a blast feeding them. I was completely focused on capturing those precious moments on camera. The boy’s parents and grandparents were also so warm and friendly towards me, which created such a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the shoot. It was truly a fantastic photo session!
