A guy contacted me in October in 2022 and he told me a thing was a plan of surprise proposal in Kyoto. I got a very excited about this and we start to discuss how to make her surprise and where the best place for proposal and many things. They came to Japan the end of year and we planed it happen on 2nd January.
A shooting place is Arashiyama, Kyoto. Why we chose this area is Arashiyama has many beautiful place and he wanted to propose at Kimono forest. They rent a kimono before a shooting and I was waiting for them in front of kimono rental shop. I was super nervous honestly.
I saw they came out from a shop and he saw me. I was following them to kimono forest as a normal tourist. Our plan is like this, he ask me ‘Can you take our photo?’ and pass me his phone and then he propose her. So I needed to follow and keep to stay by them but not too close. I was worrying if she found about this plan and something, you can image what I was quite nervous haha
Without thinking about that, He proposed her smoothly and she said YES!! and Of course I got many great photos of them with a ring. It was amazing day and they gave me happiness a lot. Thank you for choosing me as a photographer of your surprise proposal!!! Check video!!!
