Highly recommend Micky and this experience. He contacted us the day before our booking on whatsapp and his communication and English was great. It was our first set of photos and he was clear and directive with posing. He took us to some great spots and was patient while waiting for crowds of people to move past so there was minimal distraction in the photos. He showed us the photos as we went, and we didn't leave the spot until we got some shots everyone was happy with (which didn't take long!). We had all the photos within a few hours, and we now have up to three months to get back to him with the 30 we want to choose for editing which is also great. The photos also turned out amazing coming from someone who is not photogenic at all! Thanks so much again Micky!! :)

Micky was very understanding and considerate of my time. He worked with me and help me find a kimono rental nearby. Unfortunately, my plans changed, and I was not able to utilize his service, but his customer service was beyond wonderful. If I’m ever in the area, I will definitely book again with him.

I’m so happy we hired Micky to capture our pictures. He was great, punctual & friendly! Not only we did pictures at the famous Yasaka pagoda but he also took us to some cool & beautiful areas that we would’ve probably missed it on our own. He sends the whole gallery of pictures within hours.

Photographer very friendly and made beautiful photos in different spots. I had only taken the 30-minute package and yet I was able to retrieve a large amount of photos very well made. I highly recommend.

My husband & I had a wonderful photo session with Micky. He was most responsive and prompt in our communication, flexible in changing time, and accommodating in picking different sites per my personal request. Micky took time and patience to take hundreds of beautiful pictures for us to choose from. He and his wife were most friendly, giving us a FUN & romantic photo session. Thank you Micky and your wife for going above and beyond and for our priceless pictures of Kyoto!
