Elopment Packages

 

Hi, I’m Chihiro, a photographer originally from Japan.

Thank you so much for considering me to capture your special day!


I truly love capturing emotions, small details, and those quiet in between moments that often become the most meaningful memories later on.


Your wedding day is made up of so many fleeting moments; the anticipation before the ceremony, the quiet in-between glances, the joyful celebrations, and everything in between.


My approach to wedding photography is centered around storytelling: capturing your day honestly and intentionally, while creating a curated gallery that reflects the emotions, atmosphere, and unique details of your celebration. On the day, I’ll be there to document your story as it naturally unfolds. And don’t worry about posing, I’ll gently direct you so everything feels effortless and unforced :)

Testimonials

"Chi was amazing as she always had a vision. Shots were quick and didn’t feel too scripted. She always checked if we were comfy to do some of the poses on her mind. She would always let us see the photos after awhile(which is rare because some of the photogs i worked with don’t really do that), and I appreciate it because I would then be able to correct my facial expressions/poses if I didn’t like them. I am very thankful to Chi and her creativity! I really wanted to have an edgy/editorial theme and she captured it to the tee! You’re the best Chi!

All the best to you!"

Testimonials

"I had the best experience with Chihiro as my photographer before, during and after the shoot. Even though I felt shy and awkward at first, Chi’s kind encouragement and professionalism made it so enjoyable. She makes you feel comfortable to be yourself, confident and reassured because she has an eye for beautiful frames.


Even though the weather was not on our side, the photos turned out exactly the vibe I hoped for - whimsical, nostalgic and soft romantic. It’s the collection I wanted of 30 year old me so that I can look back on youthful days fondly at 80 years old.


Chi’s day plan for us was thoughtful and seamless. She chose perfect locations to meet the vision. We went to three different locations for the day and found some nice spots on the way too. Communications from beginning to end were prompt and clear so I knew what to expect.


Thank you for your wonderful work! Hope to book you again at 50 years old :)"

Testimonials

"This was my very first time hiring a photographer, and I was not disappointed. Chihiro’s personality made all of those who had attended my graduation instantly comfortable.

She is immensely proactive and is not afraid to go above and beyond her role. To list, running back and forth to make sure my hair was in place, provided me lipstick when I lost mine, helped carry out the heavy load of gifts I’ve received, even past her shooting time, and so much more.

I cannot recommend Chi enough, and I am so grateful to have had her as my first experience in capturing such beautiful moments. She ensured a wonderful mix of candid and posed shots and brought my extremely specific vision to life."
