Finally, cherry blossom season has arrived! I went to take photos of a surprise proposal under the cherry blossoms! While I was waiting and preparing at Osaka Castle Park early in the morning, I felt the arrival of spring as I admired the full bloom cherry blossoms. Spring in Japan is the best.
Since my partner and I were sharing our real-time location, the tension increased as the couple approached us. Our plan was for him to ask me to take a photo and then propose while I was taking the photo.
We approached the couple naturally at the shooting location and wandered around, waiting for them to approach us. After they asked me to take a photo for them, I pretended to be Japanese to hide the fact that I was a photographer. As planned, he proposed to her, and we successfully captured a very happy moment under the full bloom cherry blossoms. They looked truly happy, and even I, who was taking the photos, couldn’t help but smile with happiness.
Afterward, we walked around Osaka Castle Park and took various photos, then moved to Namba for street photography. They were interested in everything I explained about Osaka, and I was really happy about that. They were the kindest, most polite, and friendliest couple I’ve ever met. I was so happy to have the opportunity to take photos of their proposal. Thank you so much!!!
