Guide and photos - Great portrait tour. Our photographer was so nice and patient because we were late for the appointment. He brought us to different areas for the picture taking. He also gave us some love to eat in the area. We all can’t wait to see our pictures.

Excellent experience! - A magnificent job, Mina was very patient, since being alone I didn't have a clear idea of the poses, but he helped me a lot and was very kind. The treatment was pleasant and I was really happy with the final work. The photo locations were also wonderful.

To truly experience Kyoto, you need to do this tour in Kimono - We had a great time with Andy Yu Lei, he was so nice and accommodating! He took such beautiful pictures of us in many different places . He didn’t mind me pointing out certain places I wanted pictures in and was helpful with poses. He wasn’t rushing or watching the clock, he just wanted us to have a great experience and we did! He also delivered the pictures by the next day

Great service and next day availability. - It was a great service! I made a reservation for the very next day. As a foreigner, I could not use Line, which many other photographers used as the main platform for their reservations. This website was a life saver. Cocoro was great, she was punctual, charismatic, efficient taking pictures and made walking under the sun a very pleasantexperience. I would 100% recommend the experience with them!

Magical Experience with Andy! - My wife and I had the plan to do a a photoshoot at Kyoto for our wedding aniversary, and we decided to hire Andy for our photoshoot. We were delighter by his artistic compositions and his tour around the town, he quickly understood what we had in mind and got some awesome photographies for our aniversary! Andy is easy to deal with and has a joyful personality that makes the photoshoot fun and entertaining, and you might even forget that his camera is there. Highly recommended!
