We're bringing Special Day by K to Japan officially. Starting November 2 through December 3, 2027 — we are opening a limited number of elopements, engagement sessions, and family photo sessions across Japan. Booking for weddings all year round. You get an English-speaking husband-and-wife photography team, and zero language barrier, and the same care we bring to hundreds of weddings back home. When these dates are gone, they're gone.

Whether you are visiting Japan as tourists, or getting married with mixed families, you are warmly welcome here. We are glad to work with couples and families looking for a photographer who can speak both English and Japanese — and who has Japanese in the family, including a half sister and a half brother — so everyone can feel comfortable, understood, and part of the day.
Elopements in Japan
Saying 'I do' in Japan? Whether it's a quiet ceremony beneath Kyoto's temples, vows with Mt. Fuji behind you, or a stylish Tokyo celebration, we'll be there to document every moment — candid and posed, relaxed and real. Elopement coverage is tailored to your day, from getting ready through portraits at the locations you've been dreaming about. We help with timing, location planning, and navigating the practical details so the day feels effortless.
Engagement & Couple Sessions
Engaged, on your honeymoon, or just in love and in Japan? Our couple sessions are part photo shoot, part private tour of the city's most beautiful corners — early-morning shrine visits before the crowds, lantern-lit old town streets, gardens in full autumn color. Perfect for save-the-dates, pre-wedding photos, or simply remembering this trip forever.
Family Photos
Visiting Japan with your family? Skip the selfie stick. We'll capture your crew at the places you're actually experiencing — temples, gardens, city streets, and mountain views — with natural, joyful photos you'll want on your walls. Sessions are patient, kid-friendly, and built around your itinerary.
Locations
Tokyo • Kyoto • Mt. Fuji (Kawaguchiko & Hakone) • Osaka • Nara. Somewhere else in Japan on your list? Ask — we're flexible and love an adventure.
How It Works
1. Reach out — tell us your dates, your city, and what you're dreaming of. 2. We plan it together — locations, timing, light, and logistics, all handled in English. 3. Shoot day — relaxed, guided, and fun, with the mix of candid and posed photos we're known for. 4. Your gallery — professionally edited, delivered in a private online gallery you can share and download from anywhere in the world.
Good to Know
Sessions are limited — we only take a small number per trip so every couple gets our full attention. Sunrise and early-morning sessions are our secret weapon for empty streets and soft light. Interested in kimono portraits? We can point you to trusted rental partners near our shooting locations. No travel fees within our listed locations during the November 2 – December 3, 2027 window.
Your Date Won't Wait
2026 will be our fourth trip to Japan, and session dates always go fast. If Japan is part of your story, let's make sure we're part of it too.
