A professional photographer captures your Kyoto memories and the next day you will receive 50-200 edited pictures to share with family/friends. Free guide about the history, culture and the people of Kyoto and Japan. No need to worry where to go and what to see. I'll take care of it all. Just enjoy the sites. Help with booking kimono upon request (show up, select kimono and pay at the shop). Also I help book a private car upon request.
I offer 1-6 hours of shoot in epic locations. 1 hour in 1 area, 3 hours in 2-3 areas and 6 hours in 3-4 areas.
