Tokyo Portrait Sessions
Currently taking bookings for the 2025 cherry blossom season!
Are you looking for a portrait/vacation photographer in the Tokyo area for a couple or solo traveller photo session? I’ve photographed everything from weddings to influencers and aspiring models as well as surprise proposals.
For me, every shoot is a new, unique and exciting challenge, and I always strive to capture the photos my clients need, in a fun and relaxed way. I offer several portrait packages for couples or individuals looking to capture documentary-style storytelling portrait photos from Tokyo. My bigger packages (medium and up) always include a free consultation over Skype or e-mail where we can discuss things such as locations, the best time of day to shoot or your itinerary. I can also arrange with rental kimonos and other props/experiences upon request.
I love doing portrait sessions in Tokyo at night. For more information including some tips on my favorite locations to shoot at, please have a look at this page.
My Portrait Packages
Mini Session / 50 000 JPY
A quick session for 30 minutes at one location in central Tokyo. Digital delivery of 30+ edited full resolution photos.
Medium Session / 60 000 JPY
A session for one hour, suitable if you want a few different backgrounds, for example photos at both a park as well as some urban backdrops. Digital delivery of 70+ edited full resolution photos.
Big Session / 80 000 JPY
A session for up to two hours. + up to 30 minutes travel time between locations, if necessary. This package is suitable if you want to capture several different locations/areas in Tokyo, or if you want both daytime and night photos. Digital delivery of 140+ edited full resolution photos.
The above-mentioned rates are for shoots in central Tokyo or Yokohama. I don’t mind travelling further than that. Please ask and I’ll give you a price estimate where travel time and -costs are taken into consideration.
To capture your surprise proposal in Tokyo I ask for an additional fee to cover the extra time and planning needed. This fee includes an online consultation where we discuss the details and the best approach to make sure that we can capture the moment in the best way possible.
Do you have any questions regarding my portrait packages? Please have a look in the FAQ first, and feel free to contact me via this form to make a booking or if you have any questions.
Are you looking for photos of your proposal or elopement? Or are you here on your honeymoon? Do you need a longer session or more photos? Please contact me, and I’ll be happy to offer a custom package that is based on your needs.
Are you looking for a scenic back alley for night time shots or the best spot to fit the skyline of Tokyo into the frame? Or perhaps you are hoping to get photos of yourself surrounded by traditional Japanese wooden buildings or in a game centre bustling with colourful lights? As someone who has been working as a travel journalist and photographer specializing in Tokyo since 2008, I know more than most people about what this city has to offer – both when it comes to the traditionally beautiful parts of Tokyo as well as quirky, fun and unusual locations. And my clients are always more than welcome to tap into my knowledge!
Tokyo Photo Tours
If you are looking for vacation photos from Tokyo, I highly recommend my Photo Tour Packages. This combines my services as a photographer and tour guide in Tokyo. Compared to the above-mentioned packages that are entirely focused on photography, the Photo Tour packages are equal parts photo session and bespoke tour of Tokyo, at a pace that is a bit slower than in the portrait packages. Each photo tour is unique and entirely tailored according to your needs. It can be as broad as a tour of some of the most famous sightseeing spots, or as narrow as a visit to some of Tokyo’s best vintage shops, a hike to beautiful mountain shrines or a night-time izakaya hopping tour. Tell me about your interests, and I’ll do my best to design the perfect tour for you!
Half-Day Photo Tour / 120 000 JPY
Digital delivery of 100+ edited photos in full resolution.
Full-Day Photo Tour / 180 000 JPY
Same as above but for an entire day (eight hours). Digital delivery of 150+ edited photos in full resolution.
Clients are kindly requested to also cover additional costs such as entrance fees/meals or travels outside central Tokyo if needed.
You are always welcome to contact me with any questions or requests!
