Engagement Photoshoot Shibuya Crossing

5.00Marvin was super quick and efficient with his shots. He definitely knew the ins and outs of tokyo/ and angles for shibuya crossing. He immediately makes you feel comfortable like a friend and overall it was a super fun photoshoot. I’d recommend him 10/10 and he never gives raw photos so expect them to look spectacular. Thanks Marvin looking forward to them!
Great pictures and great company

5.00I had a lot of fun on this photoshoot snd really loved the pictures! I booked this experience because I was getting fatigued doing everything solo and wanted someone to guide me through, but to also get some nice pictures for my trip thay weren't just selfies. I really enjoyed my time during it as well as the outcome
Great Experience!

5.00My now husband and I have been dreaming of taking an international trip to Tokyo for our honeymoon for years, and it finally happened! Because I love photos and because I’m not a huge fan of the selfie, I thought it would be worthwhile to find a local photographer to document some of our time together in Tokyo. Marvin was the best and we’d highly recommend him to anyone else looking for great photos, a knowledgeable guide, and an all around friendly and welcoming person to guide them during the photo/tour process! Marvin was very responsive and communicative prior to our arrival in Japan (we live in California), and gave us good meet up details/instructions. We had no issues finding Marvin at the meet up spot, and he was prompt (early, in fact!). If you’re considering booking a photographer to capture some of those iconic Tokyo spots, Marvin is an excellent choice. We’re so glad we did!

5.00Marvin is such a talented photographer and friendly guide to Tokyo. I really appreciate that he showed me around hidden gems in Shinjuku and captured the beautiful city. Also he is a great conservationist who makes you feel comfortable posing in front of the camera. His edits are amazing, and I was so happy to receive the final photos to remember the trip. I highly recommend Marvin for travel photography!
Fantastic!

5.00I am beyond happy with the photos I got with Marvin. Easy to meet up at the location with him and coordinate everything. I chose Shinjuku and he took me around the best spots in the area. We did the shoot at night while lots of people were out but we were quick in certain spots but the photos we got were amazing. It happened to be raining at the time too which helped to enhance some of the colors and reflections in the images. Photos received through a google drive. As soon as I saw some of the previews on his camera I was like these are going to be awesome I’m so happy I went with this booking. Only took a couple days to receive the images and my only problem is choosing my favorites because they’re all so good! If you’re looking to take some good pictures with a highly skilled photographer definitely book this with Marvin. You will not be disappointed!
Fun photoshoot for iconic Tokyo pics!

5.00This was a great experience! Marvin was super friendly and fun to work with. Photos turned out great and I saw so many hidden spots that I’d never find on my own.

5.00I had an incredible photo session in Shinjuku at night, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The photographer knows all the best spots — from neon-lit alleys to quieter, cinematic corners — and made the whole experience feel effortless and fun. He guided me through the shoot with a great eye for detail, light, and mood. The photos turned out stunning, capturing the unique energy of Shinjuku perfectly. Highly recommended if you’re looking for someone who truly understands the magic of Tokyo at night. Thank you again!
