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 Lifestyle Photographer: A Day in the Life of the Wan Family
I have to say, I really enjoy when a client chooses meaningful places to do a photo session at! For this family photo session, it was more of a “lifestyle” than a “portrait” session in that we explored their neighborhood, stopping by a 7-11, a little park, a traditional house, a restaurant… we basically just walked around and had some fun!
Why do I like these photos so much? I feel like these photos really show a story- A day in the life of this beautiful family.
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed photographing this bright, silly, and fun family!
Tokyo Vacation Photographer: Annie Explores Shibuya
Annie was traveling through Japan by herself and wanted to get some photos in Shibuya so that way not all of her photos would be “selfies.” I love that she is so adventurous and travels by herself and wanted to be able to remember her trip this way! She was fun to hangout with and was so open to doing a bunch of fun things in Shibuya, including- talking to robots, going to the Purikura photobooths, going to the arcade, and checking out some of the fun stores!
Note: This was a photoshoot I did for Flytographer.
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!
