Tokyo Wedding Photographer: An Engagement in Shinjuku Gyoen and Family Mart!
I had the honor of photographing C + J for their pre-wedding photos in Shinjuku! What a fun-loving couple! They wanted to do a mix of romantic fun at Shinjuku Gyoen (garden), and silly on the streets of Shinjuku (especially at Family Mart!) I love how expressive and fun they are and playful with each other. This photo shoot was done over 3 years ago but to this day I still talk to C+J and also that it is one of the most playful + romantic shoots I’ve ever done!

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!

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!
Tokyo Tourist Photographer: Exploring Shinjuku with the Dodge Family
I love exploring Tokyo! It was fun walking around Shinjuku with the Dodge family. They were visiting Tokyo for a week and wanted to get some family photos done around the city. Shinuku was the perfect place to get some urban photos around the station, shopping malls, vending machines and crowds. Then we headed toward Shinjuku Gyoen where the kids were able to run around and the family could relax more in the beautiful gardens. I hope to find more fun people to explore Japan with and photograph!
