This is my 2nd time having Bruno as my photographer! That is enough to prove that I am very satisfied with his service. Along with Sandra (his mother), they make the perfect team. They were responsive, responsible and provided helpful info. Bruno is a very skillful photographer. He possesses a wonderful demeanor and has a special way of allowing me to feel comfortable in front of the camera. He takes sharp and elegant pictures. They took me to great locations that I would not known. It made the process so much smoother and effective. It was one of the best gifts I could have bought myself this vacation! Sandra took charge of helping me with the selection of my kimono. She has great taste. I was so glad to have an expert like her help me with the process. Her props and helpful suggestions of poses made the picture compositions come alive with beautiful stories and colors. I am so glad and grateful to have found them :D

Do not hesitate booking this experience if you are on the fence. It is worth every penny. Sandra will take very good care of you in the prepping phase of picking out the kimono, it being placed on you (it is an intricate historical process), getting your hair done, your make up done, down to picking out your shoes and accessories. No detail is left to chance. Also if you are worried about posing, Bruno and Sandra have you covered here too. They will take very good care of you and take you to beautiful scenic places so that you walk away with the best possible photos. The turnaround time for the photos was great too! Book them!

Beautiful experience! I cannot recommend it enough! I booked a private shoot and it was 100000% worth every penny! From getting to choose each individual piece of the kimono, hair and makeup, historical information taught to you regarding the clothing, location, and culture, gorgeous photos, and incredibly kind and talented hosts, you will not be disappointed. I immediately wished to book again!

Bruno and Sandra were indeed professionals! I am truly satisfied with the experience and cannot thank them enough. The pictures turned out breathtakingly beautifully. I had to believe it when my eagle eyed fashionista mother and sis both gave their honest thumbs up :D They raved about it! Bruno truly cared about working with me. He communicated promptly and effectively during my booking with him. Bruno has a friendly and calm demeanor. So, I felt comfortable during the photoshoot. He was very knowledgable about the locations, so he knew where to capture beautiful spots. He was carrying some heavy camera gears with no complains. Most important of all, he was a true professional who produced stunning pictures of me and Kyoto!! Sandra even kindly gave me advice on preparing myself before the photoshoot. She has great taste and helped me select pieces of my outfit that complemented me. She taught me poses and brought beautiful props along. It made everything come together!! These pictures are one of the best gifts that I could have in Kyoto and will be able to treasure for a lifetime!! They made this a dream come true for me. I am so thankful to be able to work with them and cannot wait to do so again ^_^

Thanks to Sandra and Bruno for this great experience. Sandra is very attentive and advised me to choose a superb kimono and explained a lot about the kimonos, which is very rewarding. Sandra and Bruno are really adorable and very kind, I was very comfortable😀. Bruno took the time to take beautiful photos. I would recommend this great experience to anyone 😉

It was more beautiful than I imagined, and I was very satisfied with the location of😊 Kyoto, and I was able to enjoy taking photos of beans everywhere. Also, I was not used to taking photos, but I was able to relax and shoot with a natural smile because they told me about various posing and laughing with interesting stories and making me laugh with a funny story. Great memories!Thank you.✨
