Sofia took her time and captured our engagement beautifully, could not recommend her enough!
I had such an amazing experience with Sofia and her team. It was my first professional photo-shoot and my first time in Japan! The process of inquiring, paying, meeting up, and receiving the pictures all went very smooth. Our photographer, Anna, did such a great job capturing our love, and Sofia, did an amazing job editing the photos. Our pictures are truly beautiful.
We’ve just got our wedding photos back and couldn’t be happier. We would highly recommend Sofia. She’s not only a talented photographer but is a pleasure to have around.
My fiancee Reina and I booked Sofia for our engagement shoot in Tokyo the summer of 2025, and we were so happy to find her and the team to be a complete joy to work with. Sofia was not available for our preferred date, so we have the pleasure of working with her associate, Rovi, who was fantastic. Communication on all levels was excellent, and the shoot itself was a breeze. Rovi gave great direction during the shoot for poses and walks we would do to find a nice natural vibe. We shot at two locations (suggested by Rovi) near a part of the city that met our aesthetic preferences, and received an excellent portfolio of photographs. Sofia's photo editing elevated Rovi's photgraphy to the next level. We are incredbily happy with the results, and recommend Sofia Hiramatsu Photography highly!
Amazing photographer! Sofia is very organized, responsive and skilled at her craft. We were really impressed with the outcome of our engagement photoshoot. Highly recommended - 5/5 Stars!

I had the pleasure of working with Sofia to capture a surprise proposal, and from start to finish, her communication and proactiveness were impeccable. She took the time to understand exactly what I envisioned and even offered thoughtful suggestions to enhance the experience.
On the big day, Sofia blended seamlessly into the background, capturing every beautiful moment. As this was our first time hiring a professional photographer, we were a bit awkward in front of the camera. However, Sofia made us feel at ease and expertly guided us through the session, making it incredibly fun.
The photos turned out beyond our expectations. We looked so natural and candid, which was exactly what we wanted. We didn’t need many photos, just high-quality ones — and Sofia delivered on that perfectly.

I got my photos from Sofia for our proposal in Kyoto (at Daigo-Ji) and they turned out AMAZING. The color, the lighting... it's all incredible! She was super professional, communicated on time, and helped keep it a secret. Would highly recommend working with her again!
My fiance and I had the most wonderful experience working with Sofia and her team. From the very beginning there was constant communication which helped put my mind at ease as this was our first shoot internationally. Shooting with Sofia directly was a joy. Despite the early wake up and the frigid temperatures, Sofia made the experience warm and welcoming. To top off the experience, the photos came out absolutely perfect. We are blown away by the quality and our family and friends can't stop talking about how beautiful they are. If you are looking for a unique, once in a lifetime photoshoot, I highly recommend Sofia!
