TOKYO PROPOSAL PHOTOGRAPHY
You have probably played this moment in your head a thousand times and are feeling a mix of emotions. But most of all you are consumed with anxiety and pressure. How do you find the perfect place to propose? How do you coordinate with a photographer? What will you say? Is she going to love the ring? Is the proposal going to live up to her expectations?
While I can’t help you with every single worry you might have on your mind I can definitely alleviate your anxiety around planning! Whether you're a Tokyo local or just visiting, without a doubt proposing in this vibrant city is a truly magical and unforgettable way to ask the most special person in your life to marry you.

“You helped me tremendously by planning with me on the surprise proposal. My favorite moments were how you were able to capture all of the sakura behind my fiancé and I as I proposed. Those shots were stunning. We enjoyed how knowledgeable you were background and different poses we could do together, and also how we never felt rushed. We could not wait to receive the photographs and they were even better than we could imagine.”
WHY HIRE A Professional Photographer TO CAPTURE YOUR PROPOSAL?
Let's face it, girls love beautiful photos. They care a lot. How many times did she ask you to retake that photo of her on holidays? How many times did you get it right? Imagine how surprised she will be when she learns that not only are you surprising her with a ring, but you went so far as to find and book a professional photographer to capture these memories beautifully! How special will it make her feel?
Professional photography is certainly a luxury. You don't need it every day. But then there are those once in a lifetime emotional moments which really matter and which will continue to appreciate as time passes by. You will never regret having those moments of your life documented in a beautiful way.
While it may sound like a good idea to save money by hiring a cheaper photographer, consider this: your proposal is a once-in-a-lifetime event, filled with raw emotions, nervous excitement and unfiltered joy. Investing in an experienced photographer ensures that these precious seconds are captured beautifully, with the right lighting, composition and storytelling. So, instead of compromising on expertise, choose a photographer whose portfolio resonates with your vision - a professional who can turn your love story into timeless art.

“Veronica was an absolute dream to work with, and beautifully captured my surprise proposal to my now fiancée while we visited Japan. I was worried about finding a nature based but private area (in Tokyo) to propose, but Veronica volunteered to scout out several gardens to help me find the perfect spot. Ultimately this is why I picked Veronica above the others. I felt comfortable that she would go above and beyond to ensure my surprise proposal went off perfectly, and I'm pleased to say she delivered.”

“Working with Veronica for our engagement pictures was a wonderful experience from the moment of inquiry to the photoshoot. We are not local to Tokyo so she was extremely helpful in suggesting locations and providing examples of pictures in those areas based on what we were looking for.”
