Tokyo Disney Sea’s Fantasy Springs opened on June 6, 2024!  I have had the opportunity to photograph 2 photoshoots there and I would love to show you all this recent one I did- a surprise proposal in front of the Rapunzel Tower!

Congratulations to my sweet clients from Singapore!  He had the most amazing idea to propose to his giflriend at Tokyo Disneyland, in front of the Beauty and the Beast Castle.  It was raining throughout the whole shoot but that did not stop them from being so happy and living joyfully in the moment!

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!

She TRULY was Surprised! Scroll below to see all her joyful expressions in front of the perfect backdrop of Tokyo Disney!
This was one of my favorite proposal sessions ever- the expressions on her face are PRICELESS. You can feel the joy radiating out of the 2 of them! I also loved that they are both passionate dancers- it truly showed in the photos at the end!  Congrats again to Kohsuke and Alex!

TRUE STORY: As of March 11, 2019 (The date of this proposal), this couple has officially been to ALL of the Disney parks in the world! For the past few weeks went on a trip to Asia and went to Hong Kong Disney, Shanghai Disney, and Tokyo Disneyland. Disney Sea was the last park on their bucket list, and he decided to propose to her here!!! Isn’t that amazing???

They have an awesome instagram account with their adventures of theme parks around the world: @themeparksnrecreation !

Engagement at Tokyo Disneyland

Little did she know what was going to happen this day!

This client booked a 2 HOUR photoshoot- Proposal + Engagement Photos.

And so the story begins…

I found the couple and took a few shots of them taking selfies in front of the castle….

I photographed this proposal in May 2017.  Proposals are always so fun and exciting- Even though I”m not doing the proposing I still get so nervous and can’t wait to see the girl’s reaction!  These photos were done in Shinjuku Gyoen.

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!
