Reviews
Rikako was absolutely lovely! Even though neither of us feels particularly photogenic, he guided us into poses that felt so natural, and with his incredible eye for lighting and angles, he took such beautiful photos that we honestly couldn’t believe it was us when we saw them! His warm personality and wonderful communication made us feel comfortable throughout the entire shoot. He kept chatting with us the whole time, which helped us relax and just enjoy the moment. Thanks to Rikako, we now have the most beautiful wedding photos that truly capture our energy as a couple while also reflecting the magical atmosphere of Kyoto. We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. If we ever come back to Kyoto, we will definitely reach out to him again! :)
