Tokyo Engagement Photographer: A Proposal at Shiba Koen
Guillaume contacted me the day before he planned to propose and we communicated via Whatsapp to figure out these last minute details for this proposal + engagement shoot! This couple was really lucky to have such amazing weather in Tokyo… the next day it was pouring rain. His fiancee truly was surprised by the proposal, and of course SHE SAID YES! You can tell in the photos that she was very happy and kept giggling and laughing since she was so surprised. I really enjoyed capturing that emotion!
Tokyo Family Photographer: Autumn in Shiba Koen and Zojoji Temple
Such a small world! I know Bryan from high school, and he was in Tokyo for a family vacation. A mutual friend of ours put us in touch and he told me he was interested in photos. Such perfect timing cuz there were AUTUMN COLORS EVERYWHERE in Tokyo! (This shoot was done during the 1st week of December).
I may say this a lot, but I REALLY REALLY REALLY loved doing this shoot- The color of the leaves were gorgeous, we found a PERFECT spot in Shiba Koen park for their toddler to play in the leaves, the red leaves at Zojoji Temple were AMAZING, and this family was so fun to hang out with and catch up with! BTW if you can’t tell in the photos Mariel has an awesome hearty laugh… so great to photograph!
Bryan’s parents joined in for a few shots as well. I think it’s great to be able to have some family photos while vacationing in Tokyo!
Tokyo Family Photographer: Tokyo Tower and Shiba Koen Family Portrait Session
I love it when families coordinate their clothes together! This family was super stylish with their outfits that had hints of red in different places.. which in turn looked so good at Shiba Koen with Tokyo Tower in the background! I love how even their 2 dogs had collars with flowers around their neck. Their son really enjoyed the planes going by and of course, playing at the playground at the end of the session (which kid doesn’t like that??)
