Couples photoshoots in Japan
Private sessions in Tokyo, Kyoto, and beyond. Just the two of you, a photographer who disappears into the background, and the Japan you came to see.
Photos that feel like you
We have spent years learning how couples actually interact, laugh, and connect in Japan. The result is a style that feels effortless and natural. You never feel like you are performing.
Documentary first
We follow the moment, we do not choreograph it.

No awkward posing

Edited with care

Real words from real couples
Testimonials from our clients.
"Our photographer was so amazing, he was able to make this whole experience smooth, fun, and memorable!"
Jared & Christel"Our photographer was so kind and helpful with the setup, location, and just literally everything. Also, the pictures came out amazing. We were left speechless, and we don't know what else to say but thank you. It was such a wonderful experience, and the fact that we are considering returning to Japan and booking you again for another shoot just for fun speaks for itself!"
Emiliano & Natalie"Our photographer really impressed us with his experience and professionalism, which made the whole photoshoot fun and effortless for us. The photos he took perfectly capture our excitement for our visit to Japan and are treasured keepsakes from our trip. I would highly recommend Photo My Tokyo to anyone wanting beautiful photos with their family or partner to remember their travels together."

Couples photoshoot FAQ
The most common questions about booking a couples session in Japan.
You really do not need to pose. Our photographers work by giving you simple prompts and then capturing what happens naturally. Most couples tell us they forgot the camera was there after the first ten minutes.
For most couples, one hour is a good starting point. It gives you enough time to relax into the session and completely explore a location. Two hours lets you cover more ground and different types of light. Thirty minutes works well if you want a focused set of beautiful images from one location.
Wear what makes you feel like yourselves. Coordinating colours tends to look great in photos. Avoid very busy patterns that pull focus away from your faces. Your photographer will send you notes before the shoot with specific tips for your chosen location and season. You can check our style tips here.
Yes. When you book, you can browse photographer profiles and choose the one whose style resonates with you. If you are unsure, you can also let us match you based on your session details.
Rain in Japan actually makes for beautiful photos — reflections, umbrellas, quieter streets. We always shoot unless conditions are genuinely unsafe. If you would prefer to reschedule, your photographer will discuss options with you.
Edited photos are delivered within 5 to 7 business days via a private online gallery. You will receive a download link with full resolution files.
