I am all about life stories and celebration! I would love to listen to your stories, to cheer you, to support you and to celebrate with you. What drives me the most is capturing genuine moments. My style is candid and natural.

Benjamin
(5)

I'm a Canadian photographer who has been based in Tokyo for 20 years. I specialize in portraits and advertising photography. My style has a 'documentary' feeling, as opposed to being highly stylized and artificial. I believe that photography's greatest asset is its ability to show real people, places and things, in a way that you haven't seen them before.

Tokyo Proposal Photo Shoot Reviews

“ I planned a surprise proposal photo shoot in Tokyo and found Cho through his incredible portfolio. His color grading and style immediately stood out, and I knew he was the perfect fit. From the start, Cho was fantastic—he recommended stunning locations and helped me pick the perfect spot for the shoot. He was easy to communicate with and provided detailed guidance for the day of the proposal. On the day of the shoot, Cho went above and beyond. He made us feel completely at ease, found the best spots and lighting, and captured our special moment beautifully. The results were breathtaking—our family and friends even commented that some photos looked like scenes from a Hollywood film. I couldn’t be happier with Cho’s work and highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture a truly memorable moment. ”


“ From start to finish, Coo exceeded our expectations in every way when it came to capturing our engagement photos. First and foremost, Coo was incredibly professional throughout the entire process. He was prompt in his communication, clear about what to expect, and punctual on the day of the shoot. It’s so reassuring to work with someone who takes their craft seriously and respects your time. In addition to his professionalism, Coo brought such a friendly and warm demeanor to the session. My partner and I were a bit nervous about being in front of the camera, but Coo immediately put us at ease with his genuine and easygoing personality. He gave just the right amount of guidance, offering creative ideas while also allowing us to feel natural and comfortable. The final photos were nothing short of stunning. Coo has an incredible eye for detail and composition, and he managed to perfectly capture the emotions and joy of the moment. The lighting, angles, and overall quality of his work were outstanding. It’s clear that he is not only talented but also deeply passionate about what he does. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, friendly, and exceptionally skilled, Coo is the perfect choice. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of engagement photos or any other special occasion. He made the entire experience memorable, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! ”


“ I am so pleased that I made the decision to have Coo photograph our engagement. He made sure to reach out right away, and was so helpful in deciding the best location and manner in which to do the surprise proposal. The day of the proposal, Coo shared his location, and even proposed a backup location after arriving early since the original spot had many people. After the proposal, Coo even asked us if it was ok to take us to more places that were a few blocks away from the original location, in order to have the perfect experience. Besides his professionalism and dedication to his craft, Coo was very friendly and it was a pleasure for us to meet him. ”


Frequently Asked Questions

What are some proposal tactics to choose from?

expand_less expand_more
  • Friendly Tourist: Your Flytographer, posing as a friendly tourist, will offer to take a photo of you and your partner.
  • Vacation Cover: Let your partner know that you’ve booked a regular couple’s photo shoot so you can prepare for the photo shoot together without suspicion.
  • Fly on the Wall: Your photographer will remain hidden for the actual proposal. While this allows for an intimate moment, it is the most risky as passersby could interrupt your shot.
  • Customized: We are happy to adjust these scenarios if you have another idea in mind for how you would like your proposal to go!

Will I be connected with my proposal photographer directly?

expand_less expand_more

Yes! Immediately after you book your Flytographer in Tokyo, you will be connected via email to begin the proposal planning process together and create the perfect plan. You can choose from one of the above proposal scenarios, or share another idea, and ask them any specific questions you might have leading up. Your photographer will be able to share their favourite tips on how to plan your Tokyo proposal.

What is the difference between a proposal and engagement shoot?

expand_less expand_more

Your proposal photo shoot with us in Tokyo would involve your Flytographer capturing the moment when you get down on one knee to surprise your partner with a marriage proposal. After the big moment in a proposal photo shoot, you can transition to taking engagement photos if you choose a longer session.

Engagement photo shoots with us would take place after the proposal moment (when you are already engaged) and involve capturing your newly engaged bliss. If you are already engaged, you can book a normal engagement session rather than a proposal photo shoot.

How much does a proposal photographer cost in Tokyo?

expand_less expand_more

Our proposal package pricing starts at $425 USD for a 30-minute shoot. Easily book a trusted, local photographer in Tokyo. We'll organize all the details and share our expert tips to ensure your proposal in Tokyo goes perfectly. Make the moment last a lifetime with beautiful photos to reflect on together, relive the memories, and share with friends and family when you return home.

How much are engagement photos in Tokyo?

Does Flytographer do wedding photography?

expand_less expand_more

We do not offer wedding photography; however, we can capture the moments leading up to and after the big day. While we can’t capture wedding photos in Tokyo, we can capture surprise proposals, engagement photos, pre-wedding trips, bachelorettes, bachelor parties, honeymoon trips, anniversary photos, and more!
