    From the moment I booked my proposal photo shoot with Thierry, I knew he'd be the perfect photographer for the occasion. Thierry did not disappoint and went above and beyond to make our special day even more memorable! We started with a photo shoot at Nagasaki Park in Kawaguchiko. From there, Thierry gave us a ride back to our hotel in Tokyo. We later met up with him for a night photo shoot in Nakano, per his recommendation. I can't recommend working with Thierry enough!
