I had the honor of photographing a beautiful couple’s surprise proposal in front of Cinderella Castle at Tokyo Disneyland. We had planned the shoot for the late afternoon, but the area was extremely crowded. It took some time to find the perfect spot, but just as the couple arrived, the crowd miraculously cleared, and everything went smoothly.

The people around them clapped and cheered, making it such a heartwarming and unforgettable moment. She was completely surprised by the proposal and looked truly touched. Even after the big moment, they enjoyed the rest of the shoot so much, which made me really happy as their photographer.

We were also lucky to catch the beautiful soft light of the evening, which added a romantic glow to the photos. The couple was incredibly friendly and warm, and I was so glad they loved the photos I captured. It was a very fulfilling shoot and I’m truly grateful they chose me to document such a special memory. Congratulations again, and I hope you come back to Japan soon!

I’d like to share about a surprise proposal photoshoot I did in Tokyo in March. It was pouring rain that day, and I debated whether to cancel the shoot. However, it was the only day that worked for both my client and me, so we decided to go ahead despite the rain. Shinjuku Gyoen Park had some early cherry blossoms, so I had scouted the best spots beforehand and waited for them. However, the rain was heavier than expected, so we took shelter at a nearby Starbucks. I had hoped for just a light drizzle during the proposal moment, but when they arrived, it was still pouring. Nevertheless, his proposal was lovely, and she was incredibly moved, shedding tears in the rain. Despite his pants getting muddy from the wet ground, it was a romantic moment. We moved indoors afterward, and I was glad to capture various photos that made them happy. It truly became one of the unforgettable shoots for me too. Congratulations!

Had a wonderful photoshoot amidst the autumn leaves in Tokyo. My client was a former student from my high school teaching days in Osaka, which was around 10 years ago. She’s now married with a baby, living in Tokyo. It was such a joy when she reached out and booked my services.

In early December, we met at Shinjukugyoen park, where yellow autumn leaves created a beautiful backdrop. When we saw each other, there were shouts of joy; it had been quite some time. We caught up on life, reminisced about our high school days, and shared stories about her baby. She looked genuinely happy, and her husband was a nice guy, making me really happy too.

The photoshoot turned out fantastic! Capturing their natural moments against the autumn scenery was a delight. The baby was wide awake, didn’t cry, and was absolutely adorable. It was a genuinely happy session, and the memories linger. Thank you so much; seeing you again was a pleasure! Looking forward to the next time!

I had my first photoshoot at Tokyo Disneyland! And it was a surprise proposal shoot too! Disneyland during spring break was packed with people. We entered at opening time and scouted the area while taking pictures with Mickey. The girlfriend seemed to love Disney, so her boyfriend planned to propose to her at Disneyland.
Before proposing in front of Cinderella Castle, we took some natural photos near the entrance and shops. As we got closer to the castle, I felt nervous too, but it seemed like he was even more nervous. However, he proposed successfully in front of the castle, and we were able to take many happy photos. Disneyland is a highly recommended spot because every background is beautiful, no matter where you shoot! Congratulations! I’m looking forward to meeting you again!

I went to Tokyo for a photoshoot at the end of March! I was really looking forward to seeing this family again, as we had previously met for a photoshoot in Kyoto. Since Tokyo is the first place in Japan where cherry blossoms bloom, Ueno Park was already in full bloom even at the end of March, and of course there were lots of people. The two children were very friendly and quickly made friends, so we were able to take many natural family photos. We changed into kimonos and started the second half of the shoot in the Asakusa area, where there are the Skytree and Asakusa Temple. Asakusa Temple was quite crowded, so it was very difficult to take pictures without people in the background. However, we had a fun time drawing fortunes and taking pictures of cherry blossoms. I’m looking forward to seeing them again in Osaka next time! Thank you!

A girl turned 18 years and I had a birthday photo shooting in Shibuya Tokyo with her and her family!! They are sooooo friendly and happy family and I had a great day with them!
I started this tour at Shibuya SKY where is the best spot to see land scape of Shibuya. It is 230m high and great view from top of the building. There is a garden and many people took photos and had relaxing time and we got many great photos with blue sky and Shibuya city.
After that, walked around downtown in Shibuya like Shibuya PARCO, Shibuya Crossing and wall arts area. These places make the photos very Japanesy because a lot of billboards and neons everywhere. This is TOKYO and you are going to have great photos in Shibuya area for sure.
Yoyogi park is also great place to take photos because many green, autumn leaves and flowers there. It takes about 10min walk from the center of Shibuya Downtown, So I recommend this park for everyone who come to Shibuya. It may make you relax and you have grab some Japanese foods here. Tokyo has soooo many great place to visit and take photos. I will show you some of them in an article soon!!:)
