Make Your Proposal Unforgettable in Japan

Hello, I’m Masa.

Are you planning to propose in Japan? Congratulations — this will be one of the most memorable moments of your life. My role is not just to take beautiful photos, but to create a meaningful experience that your partner will always treasure. Photography for us is more than taking pictures — it’s about making the day feel natural, heartfelt, and truly unforgettable.

Trusted Expertise Since 2012

I studied photography in London and have been working professionally since 2012. With over a decade of international experience, I’ll be your trusted partner to ensure everything goes smoothly, from planning to capturing the perfect moment.

I can help with:

  • Choosing the perfect location

  • Planning the best timing for light and atmosphere

  • Creating a proposal plan tailored to your vision

  • Keeping you updated with weather forecasts and local conditions

Relaxed, Natural & Heartfelt Photography

On the day, my goal is to make your partner feel completely at ease. You won’t hear me asking for stiff poses or forced smiles — instead, I guide you gently so the moment unfolds naturally, capturing genuine reactions and authentic emotions.

Your proposal deserves to be more than just a moment — it should be a lasting memory. I’ll make sure both the experience and the photos are something you’ll treasure forever.

  • About Me

    Photography is more than just my profession — it’s the way I see the world. I’m always drawn to light, movement, and the subtle expressions that appear in fleeting moments. Even on my days off, I carry a camera with me, wanting to preserve life as it unfolds.

    What I value most is not staged expressions, but authenticity. There’s no need for perfect poses. Whether someone is laughing, crying, or even feeling a little frustrated, I believe those honest moments become the most meaningful memories.

    Before becoming a photographer, I worked as a mechanical engineer. In 2012, I chose to follow my passion and completely changed careers. I realized I wanted to connect with people and create something lasting, rather than spend my days in front of a computer.

    Travel has always been a major source of inspiration for me. I’ve visited more than 80 countries, and the Arctic Circle remains one of my favorite places. Photographing there has become a lifelong project and an important stage for my artistic work. New landscapes and encounters continue to shape the way I see and capture the world.

    Above all, the time I spend with my wife and children is the most precious part of my life. My photography is rooted in that sense of connection and the desire to cherish each present moment.

    Alongside my client work, I continue my artistic journey as a landscape photographer, holding solo exhibitions and offering fine art prints. Together with my wife, I also create and share content about Japanese language and culture through YouTube and podcasts.

    Through photography, I hope to preserve the connection between people and the atmosphere that exists only in that singular moment.
