Best experience and best memories!! - Best photo shoot experience I have ever had! Marco is professional but also really friendly and funny, he could capture candid pictures of us, helping with how we should place ourselves to enhance the photos. He talked to us about the history of the places we went to and at the end of the photo shoot, he even printed 2 littles pictures of our shoot as a souvenir! I highly recommend this experience if you want a memorable souvenir from your trip to kyoto! Thank you so much Marco!

Our top Kyoto experience - We had an amazing photo shoot with Marco in Kyoto. He was friendly, professional, and knew exactly how to capture stunning photos, even in crowded and popular places. As we moved from place to place, he also shared fascinating insights into Kyoto’s history, which made the experience even more memorable. It was the highlight of our trip and is our top recommendation for anyone visiting Kyoto!

Private kimono photos - We booked private kimono photos with Marco for our honeymoon in Kyoto, Japan. Marco was on time and showed great attention to detail. He shared some historical facts with us as we were walking between shots. He also showed us our beautiful photos as we went along. Highly recommend!

Great experience! - I'm usually awkward doing photoshoots and I always end up looking so stiff. But Marco made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I loveeee all the photos he took - for the first time, I looked natural!! He also knows the history of the locations we visited so he was telling me about as we go (it's like getting a photographer and tour guide). Definitely recommend booking a session with Marco!

Great experience - In advance, Marco sent recommendations for renting a kimono, which are all located right at the meeting point. He also asked if everything was OK. The meeting point was right at a bus stop. We got along really well, and since I wanted an umbrella, we went out together to organize one. Marco definitely knows what he's doing, shows great poses, shows the pictures in between, allows you to have your own ideas and you feel very comfortable with him.
