We had such a wonderful experience with Yoshi in Kyoto! He was warm, professional, patient, and made our entire family feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. He has an incredible eye for capturing both the beauty of Kyoto and the natural moments between us. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and feel like such a special memory of our time in Japan. Yoshi was also fantastic with the kids, which made the experience relaxed and enjoyable for everyone. We are so grateful we found him and would highly recommend Yoshi to anyone looking for a talented photographer in Kyoto. Thank you, Yoshi, for giving our family such beautiful memories! With gratitude 🙏 Tanya Temple

It was a pleasure to meet him, and the entire session was relaxed and enjoyable. The photos are absolutely beautiful and captured such special moments of our trip to Japan. We couldn’t be happier with the results. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and friendly photographer in Kyoto, we highly recommend Yoshi. Thank you for giving our family memories that we will cherish forever!

Yoshi was fantastic! Our proposal photo shoot with him was lots of fun! He helped me plan it all out so that it would be a surprise for my fiance while in Kyoto, and he did an incredible job, even when it started raining on us. Booking the photoshoot on his website was also very easy, and he was always super responsive. We loved how all of the photos turned out, and will be grateful for them for a long time!

We had an amazing experience with Kyoto Family Photo! Yoshi was incredibly friendly and made our whole family feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the session. He was fantastic with both the adults and kids, capturing genuine smiles and natural moments. The photos turned out absolutely amazing, beautifully composed, high-quality, and with wonderful and soft lighting.

Yoshi you absolute legend!! If you need a proposal photographer, just book Yoshi right now. Seriously. The whole process was shockingly easy. We had a quick, super sweet chat, booked it in five minutes, and he even suggested the exact spot I already had my eyes on. On the actual day, he was a total "ninja". My fiancé had absolutely no clue he was there, so the reaction shots are 100% genuine and so beautiful. Yoshi clearly loves what he does and he should be so proud of his work, because these photos are so perfect, I can't even... Everyone we show them to is obsessed. Thanks for the amazing surprise pics, Yoshi!!! You’re the best!!!!!

One of the highlights of our time in Kyoto! We did a shoot with 12 adults & 7 children under the age of 7! Our photographer Yoshi, suggested a great location for our family that wasn’t packed with foot traffic, got the best photos of each of us & worked so well with the kids. He was patient, directed us well & fun to be around! Also, my 7 year old was excited to take photos & learn from him & Yoshi happily allowed him to be his apprentice, which I understand it could have been a distraction or my son could’ve been in the way but Yoshi allowed him to also have a special experience by being kind & helping him. I will definitely book Yoshi again next time we’re in Japan!
