I had the joy of photographing a truly wonderful couple’s proposal in Kyoto. They were traveling in Japan with friends, and we planned the proposal together while they were staying in Kyoto. On the day, we scheduled the shoot early in the morning to avoid crowds, and thanks to their punctual arrival, everything went perfectly. Their friends naturally guided them to the proposal spot and stepped away at the perfect moment, making the scene absolutely flawless.

I kept my camera ready to capture every single moment, and I managed to take so many beautiful photos. She was completely surprised and overjoyed, and their friends celebrated with them, making it an incredibly special moment.

After the proposal, we continued shooting at other locations, capturing many more precious moments. It was a very hot day, but they walked so much and were so cooperative—I am truly grateful. I really enjoyed talking with them while walking around and capturing their memories. I hope they come back to Japan again someday. Congratulations once again!
