The best photographer in Kyoto/Osaka - Wanted to get good photos of me and my now fiancé while visiting Kyoto. Matt well exceeded our expectations. He was friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant to work with. We received more than enough pictures to remember our favorite trip. Thank you Matt, we’ll surely be back and book you again!

Fantastic Kyoto Photoshoot Experience with Matt - We had a great experience with Matt as our photographer in Kyoto. He was friendly, approachable, and helped us feel comfortable throughout the shoot. Matt knew some excellent locations, which made everything run smoothly and efficiently, and his photography skills really showed in the beautiful photos we received.
Beyond being professional, Matt was also easy to talk to, and we enjoyed our conversations along the way—it sometimes felt more like a relaxed walk than a photoshoot. We’re very happy with the results and would gladly work with him again. Highly recommend his services!

Incredible Performance - I had the most wonderful experience with Matt! The photos were gorgeous and Matt was wonderful enough to go out of his way and show me around so many hidden spots in Gion! I would highly recommend this to any family friends. I came home with wonderful photos, and also learned so much during our walk. Wish I had the time to do the longer multi sight tour, but will have to save it for another visit to Kyoto.
Thank you, Matt for a wonderful tour and stunning photos to remember my time in Kyoto!

Perfect photoshoot! - I can't say enough nice things about this experience. The pictures were gorgeous! The setting was ideal and not something we would have necessarily been able to find ourselves!! Matt was fun and easy to work with. He got the photos back to us lightning-fast. Also, I really liked the kimono shop he picked - it was a fun addition to the day.

Highly Recommend! - I had such a fun time during the photography session with Matt. It was a rainy day, but he remained positive and cheerful throughout. He sent the photos very promptly afterwards, and I LOVE how they turned out! He chose great locations, has excellent/dynamic composition, and helped direct me throughout the shoot, which made me feel completely at ease. I'm so happy with the results! Highly recommend!
