Tokyo Disney Proposal Photographer: A Sunset Engagement at Disney Sea

This couple traveled all the way from Australia.  It was the last day of their trip, and he decided to propose at Tokyo Disney Sea!  She was SO surprised when it happened, and she could not stop crying during the whole proposal and even for a few minutes afterward!  Awww. so sweet! After the proposal we spent about an hour taking some fun+casual engagement photos around the park.  Congrats, R & J!

Tokyo Vacation Photographer: A Fun and Funky Family Explores Harajuku, Shibuya, and Omotesando

This family booked me for a 2 hour shoot so we could explore Omotesando, Harajuku, and Shibuya!  I LOVED how FUN and OPEN to doing things!  I really enjoy seeing my clients being WOWed by things in Japan- whether it’s the hip store fronts, cute pet shops, cotton candy and desserts everywhere, hall of mirrors, LINE characters, etc!  I also LOVE it when my clients are very intentional with what they wear- the father and son were wearing Pokemon shirts, and it was cool that they brought some funky sunglasses to take photos with!  So creative and adds so much character to the photos!  Halfway during the shoot the storm clouds came and it started to POUR… They got a bit wet but we still had fun and got some great shots!

Tokyo Wedding Photographer: A Cherry Blossom and Azalea Engagement at Shinjuku Gyoen

This couple came from the Philippines to Japan to do their engagement photos. It was getting closer to the end of the sakura season here in Tokyo, but luckily the YAE SAKURA was still blooming in Shinjuku Gyoen! (Photos take April 21, 2017).  The beautiful surprise was when we found bright pink/ magenta azalea bushes blooming in the garden! WOW!! They added a beautiful pop of color in the photos!

Tokyo Engagement Photographer: A Proposal Under the Cherry Trees of Chidorigafuchi

Tokyo Engagement Photographer: A Proposal Under the Cherry Trees of Chidorigafuchi

The original plan was that he was going to propose to her on a boat in the infamous moat of Chidorigafuchi park.  But because of the rain, they closed the boat rental so we had to do a spontaneous back up plan.  He wanted to propose to her in a quiet and intimate location under a cherry blossom tree, but that can be quite difficult considering the crowds that are in that area for the same reason of looking at cherry blossom trees.  I did remember walking by a “secret” spot the other day and texted him pin drops and photos to direct him to that new location.  I hid behind a tree and waited for them.  I love that he waited a couple of minutes before proposing- It seemed to me like they were just soaking in the atmosphere and the beauty of everything.  They were able to have a quiet and intimate moment before he suddenly dropped to one knee. (tee hee).

On another note, I LOVE her pink hair and how it matches the color of the sakura!
