“ We loved working with Coo and absolutely loved our photos! His communication was excellent, and he sent us Japan sightseeing and food recommendations as well. You could tell how experienced he was because timing, location and route were mapped out with such precise detail. We met up early, so that we could get photos when the overnight street lamps were still on, giving such a beautiful effect. We managed to get so many varying backdrops in a short distance and within the 60 minute shoot time. He also did something I had not seen other photographers do, which is that he used my phone to shoot short videos and some stills while he was also shooting with his camera in the other hand. This allowed me immediate images and videos on my own phone! We love his work so much that we are booked with him again in a few months and will shoot at a different Kyoto location!! I can easily see how they are the most booked and most popular photographer in Japan. ”

“ Masa was incredible to work with for my proposal while travelling. He had excellent communication and gave helpful suggestions for the proposal logistics beforehand. On the day of, he went the extra mile by dressing incognito and hiding with his initial photographs to ensure the proposal was a surprise. He prioritized what was important to us (capturing authentic and candid moments) without the photo session superseding the romantic experience. He was impressively quick in sharing the final photos and they were fantastic shots. I am forever grateful for Masa's role, skill, and experience in helping me with a successful proposal! ”
“ Fantastic experience. Masa was extremely accommodating, professional but fun. Much better than taking picture with a phone. We got create photos on my daughter including some non-planned candidate shots I could not have got myself. 10/10 would recommend. ”
“ Masa and Asami not only provided fantastic photos but were also a pleasure to work with! They were helpful with planning and extremely accommodating. It’s stressful and daunting to plan a proposal, especially in another country, but they made everything super easy! As a non Japanese speaker, I was worried, but both photographers speak perfect English; there was no communication barrier at all! I highly recommend them. ”
