Why Tokyo for your proposal

From the cherry blossoms of Shinjuku Gyoen to the quiet stone paths of a Tokyo garden, this city gives a proposal room to breathe. Our photographers already know where the light falls best, when the crowds thin out, and how to stay out of frame until the moment you need them most.

Local knowledge

Years shooting Tokyo's parks, shrines, and streets in every season.

Discreet positioning

We find a spot to wait unseen, so your partner never suspects a thing.

Weather backup

Rain or shine, we have a plan B location ready to go.

Engagement portraits

Once it's official, we move straight into natural couple portraits.

Real words

From couples who proposed in Tokyo with us.

Proposal ★★★★★
They knew exactly where to stand. She had no idea he was even there until the ring came out.

Proposal ★★★★★
We picked Asakusa not really knowing how to make it work in a crowd, and they figured it out perfectly.

The light that morning was incredible, and somehow they had already planned for it.

Questions, answered

Can you stay hidden so it stays a surprise?

Yes. We plan a discreet position in advance and blend into the surroundings, so your partner won't know until the photos appear.

What's the difference between a proposal and an engagement shoot?

A proposal shoot captures the moment you get down on one knee — the surprise itself. An engagement shoot happens after you're already engaged, capturing your newly engaged portraits without the surprise element. If you've already proposed, ask us about our engagement session instead.

What happens if it rains or plans change?

We'll work with you on timing and a backup Tokyo location.

How far in advance should we book?

We need a 72-hour minimum lead, but popular dates and cherry-blossom season fill early in Tokyo — sooner is better.

Can you help us choose the location and time?

Absolutely. We'll suggest Tokyo spots that suit the moment you want and time the shoot for the best light.

When will we receive our photos?

Your edited gallery is delivered online after the shoot.
