LOVE FROM MY CLIENTS

  • Proposal in a sunflower field near Mt Fuji

    Leonardo

    I had my mind set on proposing to my lovely Girlfriend in Japan and Thierry did an incredible job capturing that moment. I’m from California so finding a local photographer was a little nerve wracking because there was little margin for error. Our flights were booked and our itinerary was set. Thierry was a professional through and through and I couldn’t have been more happy with our pictures. Our friends and family thought the pictures were unreal! As if they were “dream” like. Book with confidence, Thierry is awesome!

I would highly recommend Thierry to anyone coming to Japan and would like to capture their memories.
