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.

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.

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.

After the proposal, we continued taking photos with the stunning sunset light and with Osaka Castle as a beautiful backdrop. The couple loved every single shot, and I was thrilled to capture so many wonderful memories.

Thank you for choosing me as your photographer for such a special moment. I hope to see you again in Japan for more unforgettable memories!

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!

I recently photographed a truly beautiful surprise proposal in Osaka. The groom-to-be and I spent a lot of time planning every detail together to make sure everything went perfectly. 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.

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.

To make the moment even more special, their family secretly joined to celebrate. The bride-to-be was moved to tears when she saw her mother, and everyone surrounded the couple with love and congratulations. Capturing these heartfelt family moments was truly wonderful, and I’m so glad I could photograph them.

After the family shots, we continued taking photos of the couple alone. Their positive energy and fun personalities made the session incredibly enjoyable. I am truly grateful to have been chosen as their photographer to capture such a precious moment. I hope to meet them again in Japan for a meal when they return!

I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful family in Namba, Osaka at night. The family of four – two daughters, a mother, and a father – were all incredibly friendly with beautiful smiles. Initially, the father was not planning to join the session, but I suggested we include him for some group shots, and he ended up having a great time from start to finish.

The daughters and mother were very kind and enjoyed every spot I took them to. Despite the busy streets of Namba at night, I was able to pick locations with fewer people, allowing us to capture many beautiful and natural shots that the family loved.

It was such a fun experience, and I am grateful for the family’s warmth and energy, which made the session full of laughter. I hope they visit Osaka again soon to enjoy more delicious food and memories!

I recently had the honor of capturing a truly romantic surprise proposal at Osaka Castle Park. Normally, I schedule photo sessions in the early morning to avoid crowds, but this time the couple’s schedule only allowed for an evening shoot. As expected, it was more crowded than in the morning, but I carefully chose a beautiful spot with as few people in the background as possible. Despite deciding on the exact location at the very last moment, he naturally led her there, setting the perfect stage for the proposal.

Neither of us gave away any hints, so she had absolutely no idea what was about to happen. When he got down on one knee, she was completely shocked, burst into tears, and could not stop smiling. Even nearby tourists noticed what was happening, clapped, and cheered to celebrate their love. It was such a magical moment, and I felt truly lucky to capture it with my camera.

Throughout the session, she was overwhelmed with joy, often shaking with emotion, staring at her ring, and crying tears of happiness. After the proposal, the three of us came up with creative ideas together—piggyback rides, jumps, running shots—and ended up with so many fun and beautiful photos.

Being their photographer was an incredible experience. Thank you so much for choosing me to capture this special moment. I absolutely adore the two of you, and I hope you will come back to Japan again someday.

I had the joy of capturing a truly wonderful proposal photoshoot in Osaka with the sweetest couple and their amazing friends. They were traveling in Japan together, and the friends helped plan and support the surprise proposal. As always, I blended in as a tourist while waiting for the big moment, and everything went smoothly. When he proposed, she was overjoyed and moved to tears—it was such a beautiful and emotional moment.

Their friends cheered, hugged them, and filled the atmosphere with pure happiness. Although the couple was the main focus, we also included the friends in the shoot, which made the photos even more fun and full of life. While directing poses, my English wasn’t always perfect, but everyone was so kind and patient, making the experience relaxed and joyful. We even captured some funny and unique shots thanks to their positive energy.

This couple was incredibly bright, kind, and loving, and their friends were just as fun and full of life. They especially loved the anime Naruto, which happens to be my favorite as well, so we instantly connected. Just look at his pants—Naruto-inspired ninja pants, which were so cool!

It was a very hot day, but we enjoyed every moment of the one-hour photoshoot, creating so many beautiful memories. Thank you so much for letting me capture your unforgettable proposal in Japan. I am truly honored that you chose me as your photographer. Please come back to Japan again—I loved spending time with all of you!

I recently had the most unforgettable proposal shoot at Osaka Castle Park, on a day that was forecasted to be nothing but heavy rain. My couple and I had been debating until the very last moment whether to cancel, reschedule, or go ahead with the plan. In the end, we decided to move forward and headed to the meeting spot at Osaka Castle Park.

Even on the way there, the rain was pouring heavily. But the very moment they arrived, something incredible happened – the rain suddenly stopped completely. During the entire proposal, not a single drop fell, and we were able to capture the beautiful moment without umbrellas. Both of them were overjoyed, and seeing their happiness truly made me so glad we went ahead with the shoot.

Afterward, we continued taking photos, and soon the rain began again. We quickly moved under a roofed area, where we were still able to create gorgeous shots in a different atmosphere. Everything turned out perfectly, as if it had been planned that way.

It felt like a miracle – from heavy rain to a clear pause right at the proposal moment. I honestly believe it was their bright energy and beautiful smiles that made such magic happen. I’m so grateful everything went well, and I’m thankful they chose me as their photographer. Please come back to Japan again – I’d love to capture more memories for you.

I recently had the chance to photograph a truly wonderful couple at Osaka Castle Park, one of the most popular spots for photoshoots in Japan. From the very first moment we met, they greeted me warmly and their friendly, positive energy instantly put me at ease.

To avoid the crowds, we scheduled the photoshoot early in the morning. Thanks to that decision, the usually busy park was nearly empty when we began. Although it started raining during the first ten minutes, the weather quickly cleared up. Despite the forecast predicting rain all day, the sky stayed clear for the rest of the session—I’m convinced their bright personalities helped change the weather!

We explored many beautiful locations inside Osaka Castle Park, and at each spot they reacted with excitement and appreciation. Every time I showed them the photos on my camera, they gave such kind compliments, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable for me as a photographer.

It was a truly fulfilling one-hour session, and I’m so grateful they chose me out of so many photographers. Meeting them and capturing their memories in Japan was an honor. I hope they will come back to Japan again for another photoshoot in the future!
