Pre-wedding & Wedding Photoshoot
A portrait session before your wedding, or in place of a ceremony.
Also known in Japan as maegaki or photo wedding.
Shot somewhere that feels like the two of you, to mark your marriage in photographs.


Have you ever looked back at photos from years ago?
The memories come flooding back,
and you find yourself saying,
“Oh, I remember that day.”
“That is why we are here today.”
A day made to hold on to those moments.
Pre-wedding and wedding photos
often mean more to your parents than you might expect.
The child they raised with such care
is about to begin a new life with someone else.
I photograph that moment with care,
so it becomes a time you will treasure for life.



Perhaps, decades from now,
you will show these photos to your children
and tell them, “This is how we got married.”
Photos that become part of your family’s story.
Photos that are precious to you,
and that stay in the hearts of the people who care about you.
I would love to help you create those memories.
I specialize in pre-wedding and wedding photoshoots and business photography, and I also photograph families, couples and maternity.
Based in Nagoya, and happy to travel anywhere in Japan.
If you live in Japan and prefer to plan your shoot in English, you are in the right place.
Everything, from your first message to delivery, can be done in English.
I do not photograph wedding-day ceremonies or receptions.

I used to work at a wedding photo studio,
where I photographed around 350 pre-wedding and wedding photoshoots.
I have also received international photography awards twice.
I’m a photographer from Okinawa who speaks English and loves the world beyond Japan.
