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 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 Cherry Blossom Family Photo Session
Probably the prettiest day I photographed this year for sakura!!!! This family came to Tokyo take their photos with their new baby. The perfect, lighting, and bloom was PERFECT!
Tokyo Family Vacation Photographer: Jumping, Running, and Laughing in Shibuya
I couldn’t have asked for a more fun and silly family to photograph in Shibuya! Their energy totally matched the vibe of Shibuya- as you can see from the photos they were running and jumping around everywhere- and making silly faces all the time! I could tell that their daughter has so much fun being around her parents! #parentgoals
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 Vacation Photographer: Dusk at Shibuya
This couple booked a 2 hour photoshoot with me for their anniversary. The first part of their session was taken at Shinjuku Gyoen, and the photos can be found in the previous blog.
The following photos are from our time together in Shibuya. We took the train from Shinjuku Gyoen so I figured I would get some shots in the metro along the way (I love taking photos in even the most random of locations!) They changed outfits and we had a great time exploring this area at dusk!
Tokyo Family Photographer: Full Bloom at Chidorigafuchi
This family wanted to shoot at Chidorigafuchi, and there were several cherry trees that were SO UTTERLY GORGEOUS! WOW!
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 Vacation Photographer: An Evening in Shibuya
This couple was in Tokyo for vacation and they wanted some photos in Shibuya at night! I am so glad I had this opportunity to photograph them- they were fun, silly, and I loved their style! I really like how she chose bright colors to wear to stand out against the sea of black/gray/neutral colors. This couple really stood out among the crowd. Besides getting some awesome photos in between the crowds and the lights, we took some fun photos with vending machines and robots as well. Shibuya can be a hectic area to photograph in but it is definitely one of the most fun!
Enjoy!
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!
