Tokyo Proposal Photo Shoot Reviews

“ Ayako did a wonderful job of making us feel at ease between scenes, also was a great historian which was an added bonus! Thanks for giving us so many great engagement photos to share and look back on. ”


“ We couldn’t be happier with our engagement photos from Ayako! Shooting at Mt. Fuji was a dream, and she captured every moment with such artistry and heart. She made us feel completely at ease, guiding us naturally while letting us enjoy our special moment. The location itself was magical, but Ayako knew exactly how to capture it in a beautiful and intimate way. We’ve received so many compliments, and we’ll cherish these memories forever. If you’re looking for an engagement photographer in Japan, Ayako is simply the best! ”


“ Had a great time capturing the moment with Miyuki! She was very friendly and knew how to evoke the best shots, with Mt Fuji in the background. Thanks again! ”


Frequently Asked Questions

What are some proposal tactics to choose from?

expand_less expand_more
  • Friendly Tourist: Your Flytographer, posing as a friendly tourist, will offer to take a photo of you and your partner.
  • Vacation Cover: Let your partner know that you’ve booked a regular couple’s photo shoot so you can prepare for the photo shoot together without suspicion.
  • Fly on the Wall: Your photographer will remain hidden for the actual proposal. While this allows for an intimate moment, it is the most risky as passersby could interrupt your shot.
  • Customized: We are happy to adjust these scenarios if you have another idea in mind for how you would like your proposal to go!

Will I be connected with my proposal photographer directly?

expand_less expand_more

Yes! Immediately after you book your Flytographer in Tokyo, you will be connected via email to begin the proposal planning process together and create the perfect plan. You can choose from one of the above proposal scenarios, or share another idea, and ask them any specific questions you might have leading up. Your photographer will be able to share their favourite tips on how to plan your Tokyo proposal.

What is the difference between a proposal and engagement shoot?

expand_less expand_more

Your proposal photo shoot with us in Tokyo would involve your Flytographer capturing the moment when you get down on one knee to surprise your partner with a marriage proposal. After the big moment in a proposal photo shoot, you can transition to taking engagement photos if you choose a longer session.

Engagement photo shoots with us would take place after the proposal moment (when you are already engaged) and involve capturing your newly engaged bliss. If you are already engaged, you can book a normal engagement session rather than a proposal photo shoot.

How much does a proposal photographer cost in Tokyo?

expand_less expand_more

Our proposal package pricing starts at $425 USD for a 30-minute shoot. Easily book a trusted, local photographer in Tokyo. We'll organize all the details and share our expert tips to ensure your proposal in Tokyo goes perfectly. Make the moment last a lifetime with beautiful photos to reflect on together, relive the memories, and share with friends and family when you return home.

How much are engagement photos in Tokyo?

expand_less expand_more

If you have already popped the question and are just looking for Tokyo engagement photos, our regular engagement photography portrait sessions start at $325 USD. See all pricing here.

Does Flytographer do wedding photography?

expand_less expand_more

We do not offer wedding photography; however, we can capture the moments leading up to and after the big day. While we can’t capture wedding photos in Tokyo, we can capture surprise proposals, engagement photos, pre-wedding trips, bachelorettes, bachelor parties, honeymoon trips, anniversary photos, and more!
