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 Family and Lifestyle Photographer: Sumida Park and Traditional Streets of Asakusa
This family booked a 3 hour photoshoot in Asakusa with me! So glad they booked a long shoot considering all the area we were trying to cover, plus outfit changes. They were SUCH a fun family- they loved to dance, dab, chase, make silly faces, eat ice cream… etc. I hope these photos show just how fun they were to be around and captures what our day together was like!

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!

Tokyo Vacation Photographer: Cherry Blossom Anniversary at Shinjuku Gyoen
They came to Tokyo to celebrate their anniversary, and it was perfect timing for Sakura at Shinjuku Gyoen! After the garden closed, we made our way to Shibuya to get a few photos at the crossing as well!

Tokyo Wedding Photographer: A Cherry Blossom Anniversary at Shinjuku Gyoen
This couple flew to Japan to celebrate their 1 year anniversary! My client even brought her wedding dress all the way from the Philippines so she could take photos under the cherry blossoms with it. These photos were taken mid-March but luckily we were able to get some photos with sakura trees in them! Later she changed outfits and wore yukata. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful sesssion! I love the lighting when the sunlight peeked through the forest!
