Jens was amazing! He was super friendly and patient with us, guiding us to great photo spots and helping us look and feel comfortable so the photos come out more candid and genuine. He spoke perfect English and took beautiful photos, he even recommended a spot to eat after we were done, I would 100% recommend him and would love to do it again.

Jens was super nice and easy going. We went to a small park with him and he took a lot of pictures of us. We had great fun! He sent us all pictures via Dropbox the following day. We are super happy with the pictures and recommend Jens to everybody who wants to have great ppictures from their holiday in Japan!

Jens is such a talented photographer! The photos turned out wonderful and exactly our taste! He has a special talent for avoiding the crowded spots and finding beautiful secret spots. I planned my proposal with him and he was a huge help. He also organised a Kymono Rent for us. In addition to the photo shoot, he gave us lots of tips for our stay in Kyoto. We can absolutely recommend him!

Jens is so easy and awesome to work with! Aside from the wonderful photos, he also shared lots of interesting stories and histories of temples and places we passed by. Best of yet, he’s great with kids!
