We had a beautiful surprise proposal in the Arashiyama Bamboo Grove — even in the rain!
They were traveling with friends, so I carefully watched for the perfect moment to approach.
Once the path cleared a bit, I asked them to take a photo of me, then offered to take a group photo of them — just as we had planned.
The proposal was smooth, heartfelt, and full of joy. Their friends were genuinely excited to celebrate their engagement, and it was such a happy moment.

Although one of their best friends couldn’t be there in person, they joined the celebration through a video call, which made it even more touching.
After the proposal, we continued to take photos in different spots, and luckily, the rain stopped — so we had no trouble finishing the shoot.

They were such kind, warm, and smiley people, and I truly felt like part of their group throughout the session.
It was a day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Congratulations again!
