“ We had an amazing early morning photoshoot in Kyoto with Coo through Flytographer! From our first message, he was prompt, professional, and friendly—suggesting we start early to beat the crowds, which was absolutely the right call. It made the entire experience feel much more calm and enjoyable for our family. Coo made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and guided us through some of Kyoto’s most beautiful spots, whether it was through the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest or along the riverside. His eye for detail and knowledge of the area helped us get photos that captured the magic of Kyoto. The photo turnaround was impressively quick, and we were blown away with the results. We’re so grateful we chose him through Flytographer and wholeheartedly recommend him for capturing your Kyoto memories! ”
“ Yoshi was very good at getting a variety of candid shots, even with a shy teenager and an uncomfortable husband! ”
“ Coo was wonderful! He met us on an overcast day, and toward the end it started to rain. Luckily, he told us ahead of time to bring clear umbrellas, which made for great photo props. Coo captured every shot we wanted and even more! We moved around the Kyoto historical district and got many good backdrops. We had never done a shoot in the rain, and the photos with the umbrellas turned out to be some of the best thanks to his creativity!! Coo also shoots in Tokyo and Osaka. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat. He was even kind enough to recommend some cafes to eat at following our early morning shoot. Wonderful experience and fantastic photos!! ”
“ Coo was incredible and ensured our entire proposal and photo shoot went perfectly. He was professional, kind, fun, and very knowledgeable. He answered every question I had, and had the entire area our photo shoot happened (Gion) scouted. Every shot captured the beauty of Kyoto and the emotion of our proposal perfectly. We’ll cherish these memories forever, thanks to Coo’s amazing talent. If you’re planning a proposal or special shoot in Kyoto, Coo is the best! ”

“ We had an amazing early morning photo shoot in Kyoto with Coo! We felt like we had the entire Higashiyama district to ourselves! Coo is amazing to work with and truly has an artistic eye. We loved wandering to all the beautiful locations, but now looking at the pictures, it appears almost surreal. Coo was wonderful about communicating all the details of the shoot, sent recommendations for things to do and places to eat around Kyoto and Tokyo, and checked in again 2 days before the photoshoot. He made us feel comfortable and expertly positioned us to capture the beauty of this historic area. My children take jumping pictures around the world, and he was able to capture that as well! We are glad to have had the opportunity to work with Coo and would highly recommend him to capture your memories in Kyoto. As a mom, these pictures are my favorite souvenir! ”

“ I absolutely love my photos! First time using Flytographer and would definitely do it again. The booking process and communication when i needed a change in date was easy. Thank you to Coo, our photographer for making it a smooth experience. He was very polite and pleasant and even gave some tips on what locations to take good photos at our next destination Tokyo. We booked a 6am appointment to beat the crowds and it was worth the trouble. Coo was able to capture great shots of us with the awe inspiring beauty of the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest and we will treasure these photos for a long time to come. Best memento of our vacation for sure! ”
“ I booked Coo to help photograph my surprise proposal in Kyoto! Little did I know he would provide not only his excellent photography skills but also helpful insight into the best times/locations to propose. For example, I knew my girlfriend wanted a private engagement, and Coo was able to recommend a relatively quiet but still scenic spot where I was able to pop the question. He was extremely patient with my laundry list of questions and also quite flexible, as the weather forecast indicated it was likely to rain the planned time of the proposal. Thankfully, the sun held out. Coo was so natural in executing the plan and my girlfriend was completely surprised! Afterwards, he helped pose us and led us to other nearby locations to complete our photoshoot. I know for a fact my engagement wouldn't have been as successful or beautifully documented without Coo's help and I can't recommend him enough! ”
