My final shoot of 2024 was an unforgettable surprise proposal in Arashiyama, Kyoto. The couple and I met early in the morning, and since only the proposal was a secret, we started with what seemed like a regular couple photoshoot.

Even though it was our first time meeting, we instantly connected, making the entire session feel effortless and fun. After exploring beautiful locations, we ended our shoot in the famous bamboo forest—where the big moment happened! She was completely surprised, having no idea what was coming. On top of that, she was amazed to learn that he had already shared the news with her family and friends in advance.

Capturing these once-in-a-lifetime memories was truly special. The joy on their faces and their excitement over the photos made me so happy.

Thank you for letting me be a part of this beautiful moment. I feel so lucky to have met you both. Congratulations!
