Shige made the special moment of proposing to my partner even more special. He helped coordinate the whole morning, including coming up with a backup plan in case of bad weather, and everything went perfectly.

The photos I received back completely exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with them. Thank you so much, Shige, for helping make such an important day so memorable.

I couldn’t recommend him more if you’re looking for a local photographer around the Kawaguchiko area!

I would highly recommend Shige-san, he was highly professional and did an amazing job with the pictures. He guided us with the right poses after the proposal and I’m thankful that we were able to get great pictures at the end.

11/10 Shige knew exactly where and when the best pictures would be. The experience was very easy. You can tell he cares about doing a great job, and making it fun as well. The pictures turned out beautifully. I can’t recommend him enough!

One of the most professional photographers I have ever met. He kept the whole proposal a surprise and made the moment perfect. I can’t thank him enough for helping create the most perfect proposal moment. Highly recommend him if proposing in my Fuji. He does not overcharge you like some of photographers in the area. Thank you again.

Shige is an incredibly patient and friendly photographer who waited for us to arrive at the specified location despite us running late. My fiancée had no idea he was there to capture the proposal and the pictures were amazing with Mt. Fuji in the background. Absolutely would recommend Shige to be your Japan proposal photographer!

We traveled to Japan for our 25th anniversary and wanted to get a professional photographer to take some pictures near the Mt Fuji area ans also in Kyoto. I reached out thru instagram to Shige and he responded with clear information on pricing and details of the shoots we wanted. For anyone traveling from another country and want to have memorable pictures taken by a real professional, you need to call Shige. He knew where to go and how to frame the pictures for best results. We couldn’t be happier with the pictures. On top of that we feel like we made a new friens!

Had one of the most dreamy and beautiful experience with Shige for our proposal and engagement picture.

He played along so well with my fiancé surprise proposal, and stayed very discreet and casual until the big proposal! It was very sweet of him and made the moment even more magical and surprising.

The pictures also turned out beautiful, and he guided us throughout different poses, places and photos ideas to capture the best memory in the most beautiful scenery ever.

I couldn’t recommend his services enough and will always be able to look back on this beautiful day with those beautiful photos.
  
 
  
 
 
 
 
    
 
 

Do you speak English?

I speak basic English.
We mainly communicate via text, and I also use translation tools when needed.
Most planning is done before the shoot, so on the day you can relax and enjoy the moment.

What if it rains?

In most cases, the shoot will still take place.
If you prefer an outdoor proposal and the weather is bad,
I’ll suggest an indoor location or a place where we can avoid the rain.

Is planning support included?

Yes, planning support is included.

I’ll help you plan the proposal timing, positioning, and location ideas.
However, if reservations are required (restaurants, hotels, venues, etc.),
please make the reservations yourself.

If you’re looking for full proposal coordination or on-site planning,
additional planning services may be available for an extra fee.

Do you provide outfits or makeup?

For proposal shoots, please prepare your own outfits.

If you’re interested in wedding-style photos
(dresses, kimono, hair & makeup),
I can suggest a separate photography plan.
