I recently had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful couple wearing kimono at Osaka Castle Park, one of the most popular locations for traditional photoshoots in Osaka.

They wore beautiful outfits that made them look just like professional models. The styling was especially elegant. The man wore a white hakama and the woman chose a bright pink kimono, creating a formal and celebratory atmosphere that matched the historic surroundings perfectly.

However, despite the formal appearance, they were incredibly friendly and easy to talk with. They even spoke a little Japanese, which helped me relax and made the photoshoot feel natural and comfortable.

Most of all, their smiles were truly bright and full of happiness. Simply capturing those moments made me feel happy as well. Every time I showed them the photos during the session, they were excited and delighted, and even after the shoot I kept thinking how glad I was to photograph them.

Thank you so much for such a fun photoshoot. I was very happy to meet you, and I hope you will visit Japan again.

My first photoshoot of 2026 was a beautiful kimono proposal session with an amazing couple at Osaka Castle Park. It was the perfect way to start the year with love, surprise, and unforgettable scenery in Japan.

We planned the proposal carefully at Osaka Castle Park and told her that it would be a normal couple photoshoot. Wearing traditional kimono, they arrived excited for photos, not knowing that a proposal was about to happen. We met naturally, took a few casual photos, and then slowly moved to the special spot we had planned in advance.

Just as we discussed, he followed the plan perfectly and proposed smoothly. Because of that, I was able to capture very emotional and natural proposal photos. She was truly surprised and happy, and even people nearby started congratulating them. It was such a warm and beautiful moment surrounded by smiles and love.

On that day, the weather was extremely cold, and at one point, snow started falling heavily, almost like a snowstorm. However, that made the experience even more special. The snowy scenery turned Osaka Castle Park into something magical. Seeing Osaka Castle covered in snow while capturing their engagement photos felt like the city itself was celebrating their important day with them.

The combination of kimono, snow, and Osaka Castle created unforgettable proposal photos in Japan. It became a very memorable day for the couple and also for me as their photographer.

Thank you so much for such a fun and emotional shoot, and for choosing me as your proposal photographer in Japan. Please come back and visit Japan again someday. I would love to photograph your next memories here.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing a truly wonderful couple during their surprise proposal photo shoot at Osaka Castle Park. From the moment the proposal began until the very end of the session, their smiles were absolutely radiant, and their happiness filled the entire atmosphere around us.

The proposal went exactly as planned. She was completely surprised and became emotional, shedding tears of joy as she said yes. Afterward, she kept looking at her engagement ring over and over, jumping with excitement. Seeing her pure happiness made all of us there feel incredibly joyful as well.

We chose a quiet area within Osaka Castle Park with very few people around, which allowed me to guide them through a variety of poses. They followed every direction perfectly. They walked, ran, carried each other, and moved actively throughout the shoot, showing even more beautiful and natural smiles. Thanks to their energy and chemistry, I was able to capture many amazing photos.

Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer to capture such a meaningful and once in a lifetime moment. I truly enjoyed photographing you both, and I hope you will come back to Japan again someday.

Castle Park. We carefully planned the proposal in advance, and everything went smoothly, just as we had hoped.

The best part was her reaction. She had absolutely no idea what was coming. When he proposed, she jumped with surprise and joy, her face filled with pure shock and happiness. It was such a genuine and emotional moment. Nearby tourists quickly noticed what was happening and began celebrating the couple together, which made the atmosphere even more special and unforgettable.

Unfortunately, our schedule shifted slightly, and the initial shooting time became shorter than planned. However, after some time had passed, I had another chance to meet the couple again. This allowed us to continue the photoshoot for a short while under beautiful ginkgo trees.

Under the bright yellow ginkgo leaves, I was able to capture many joyful smiles and natural moments of the newly engaged couple. Photographing them in such a peaceful and seasonal setting made me feel incredibly happy as well. The time I spent with them was so meaningful that I still remember it very clearly even now.

I truly hope they will visit Japan again someday, and I would be delighted to see them here once more.

I recently had the pleasure of photographing an amazing couple photoshoot at Osaka Castle Park during one of the most beautiful autumn seasons. At this time of year, the ginkgo leaves turn a stunning golden yellow, creating a perfect backdrop for romantic photos. We took many wonderful photos with Osaka Castle in the background as well as among the colorful autumn trees.

From the moment we met at the meeting point, they greeted me with warm smiles, and throughout the entire shoot, we laughed and talked a lot together. Their personalities were incredibly bright, positive, and full of joy, and it was clear that they were truly enjoying the photoshoot. Spending time with them felt very comfortable, almost like hanging out with close friends rather than working.

I suggested several photo spots around Osaka Castle Park, and they were happy to try every location. We ended up shooting in multiple areas, and they were genuinely excited about the photos taken at each spot. Because we were so engaged in conversation and enjoying the moment, the one hour session passed incredibly quickly.

I truly loved their smiles and personalities, and I sincerely hope to meet them again someday. Thank you so much for choosing me from so many photographers and for sharing such a wonderful time together. Please come visit Japan again, and I look forward to seeing you next time.

Their smiles were absolutely wonderful, which naturally helped create many beautiful images. On top of that, seeing how happy they were made me feel even more positive and motivated while photographing them.

I had the pleasure of photographing a truly wonderful couple’s proposal at Osaka Castle Park in Japan.

We carefully planned their proposal photo shoot at Osaka Castle Park and decided to meet early in the morning to avoid the crowds. On the day of the shoot, it happened to be raining. Thankfully, it was not heavy rain, so we decided to go ahead with the session as planned.

As part of the surprise proposal setup, I approached them pretending to be a tourist. The groom-to-be greeted me very naturally, which made it easy for me to approach them and capture the proposal smoothly. Thanks to his calm and natural attitude, everything went perfectly.

The proposal completely surprised her. She clearly did not expect it at all, and her reaction was full of genuine joy and emotion. It was such a beautiful moment to witness and photograph.

I truly loved their personalities. They were bright, kind, polite, and genuinely enjoyed the photo session, which made me very happy as a photographer. One of the most surprising things for me was that he spoke Japanese very well. Even though he had never studied Japanese in Japan, he could communicate with me comfortably. Because of that, we quickly felt relaxed around each other and became friendly almost immediately.

Even with the rain, we shared ideas together and captured many beautiful engagement photos. I am so glad we decided to go ahead with the shoot. It was an unforgettable experience for me.

Please come back to Japan again someday. I was truly happy to meet you both and capture such a special moment. Congratulations on your engagement!!

I had the pleasure of photographing a truly wonderful couple during a night photoshoot in Osaka. I genuinely loved working with them, and throughout the session, we shared many conversations. They were both incredibly calm, kind, and warm, and being with them made the entire shoot feel comfortable and natural.

My English is not perfect, and there were moments when I couldn’t fully express what I wanted to say. Even so, they listened patiently and tried to understand my intentions, which made our communication feel very smooth and respectful. Their kindness allowed me to relax and focus on capturing authentic moments.

They welcomed all of my posing ideas and location suggestions with smiles and openness, showing so much consideration and positivity throughout the shoot. Because of their gentle and thoughtful attitude, I was able to photograph them in a very relaxed state.

The final photos turned out beautifully, and I was truly happy to hear that they loved the images. Thank you so much for choosing me as your photographer to capture such precious memories from your trip to Japan. I hope you will visit Osaka again someday.

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.

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!
