Planning a Meaningful Engagement in Yokohama, Japan

“Just got the photos and they all look perfect.”

That was the message Mason sent after receiving his full gallery, a note that perfectly captured the relaxed, heartfelt vibe of his surprise proposal day in Yokohama.

But before that photo-perfect moment at the stadium, we had been quietly planning everything behind the scenes to make sure it all unfolded seamlessly.

The Surprise Proposal at Yokohama Stadium

Mason initially contacted me through Facebook because he wanted to propose at Yokohama Baseball Stadium, a place filled with meaning for both him and his partner. Once we locked in a date for May 2025, we moved to WhatsApp for easier coordination.

He shared reference photos of the exact proposal spot and confirmed the time (late afternoon) for the best lighting. I asked Mason to send a selfie and his live location ahead of time so we could stay connected and make sure everything flowed smoothly on the day.

A Relaxed Afternoon at the Stadium

I arrived early to get a feel for the location and prepare for Mason’s arrival. Once they were nearby, we stayed in touch via WhatsApp, coordinating the timing to keep the surprise intact.

The proposal itself was natural and full of emotion. I kept my distance, capturing the reactions discreetly to preserve the moment’s authenticity.

Exploring a Nearby Rose Garden

After the stadium proposal, I suggested we head to a rose garden nearby.

The timing was just right! The roses were in full bloom, and it gave us a chance to capture more soft, romantic portraits in a different setting.

A Meaningful Detour to Their Old Neighborhood

To close out the session, Mason asked if we could pass by the neighborhood where they used to live. I happily drove them there, and we took a few final portraits that felt personal and full of nostalgia.

It was a special way to round out their day, celebrating both their future and the memories they’ve already shared.

A Proposal Day That Felt Personal and True

Each location added something meaningful to their story. Mason’s thoughtful planning, combined with a bit of flexibility and shared vision, made this proposal shoot one to remember.
