Private kimono photos - We booked private kimono photos with Marco for our honeymoon in Kyoto, Japan. Marco was on time and showed great attention to detail. He shared some historical facts with us as we were walking between shots. He also showed us our beautiful photos as we went along. Highly recommend!

Great experience! - I'm usually awkward doing photoshoots and I always end up looking so stiff. But Marco made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I loveeee all the photos he took - for the first time, I looked natural!! He also knows the history of the locations we visited so he was telling me about as we go (it's like getting a photographer and tour guide). Definitely recommend booking a session with Marco!

Great experience - In advance, Marco sent recommendations for renting a kimono, which are all located right at the meeting point. He also asked if everything was OK. The meeting point was right at a bus stop. We got along really well, and since I wanted an umbrella, we went out together to organize one. Marco definitely knows what he's doing, shows great poses, shows the pictures in between, allows you to have your own ideas and you feel very comfortable with him.

Kimono memories!! - Kyoto was amazing but this shooting is the icing on the cake! Starting with the kimono dressing experience, choosing the design, hair styling without worrying because Marco kindly recommended some Kimono rental places. Walking and talking about the spot’s locations made the experience magical. He recommend the best posing to look amazing! Perhaps he took many photos to be sure to get the best~ I’ll always remember this experience that i highly recommend! Thank you Marco!!
