I recently had the pleasure of photographing a lovely couple at Osaka Castle Park, one of the most iconic and photogenic locations in Osaka. They had been following my work on social media and came to the shoot with a clear vision of what they wanted, which made planning even more fun. We combined their ideas with my own location suggestions to create a custom photo route through the park.

Osaka Castle Park has so many great photo spots, and this time I discovered a quieter area with lots of trees that I hadn’t used before. It turned out to be perfect for peaceful, romantic shots—and I was really excited to find a new favorite place to shoot!

Since it was late May, the azaleas were in bloom, adding a beautiful pop of color to the background. The couple loved the variety in their photos, and seeing their happy reactions made me so glad they chose to book with me.

Thank you again for trusting me to capture your special time in Japan. I truly hope to see you both again on your next trip!
