Relive the heartbeat. The whispers. The “YES”.

A photo captures the moment, but a film captures the soul. For those who want to remember not just how it looked, but how it felt—the trembling voice, the wind blowing across Lake Kawaguchi, and the pure sound of joy.

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.
