I was born in Osaka in Japan, and grown up in Kyoto. I got interested in photography while I was in the university in Kyoto. At that time, people started backpacking and traveling around the world. I began to long to be one of them. Then I got a chance to travel Southeast Asia having a camera with me. That was how I started photography.
After coming back from the trip, I held some photograph exhibitions in my university and my works got a good reputation. This became the origin of my photography and all the words and comments from the audiences still have the influence on what I do now. Then I moved to Tokyo and started to learn more about photography. At the same time I was looking for a job as a photographer, and I got to know about wedding photography.

I found a lot of pleasure in the wedding photography. It was not just a job but had something fascinate me a lot. I started pursuing better images and while I was looking for the place where I could bring my ability and passion to the full, I met my company the Easter Egg. I think they offer images of one of the highest quality in wedding photography.
 
After I experienced my own wedding, I guess something in my mind has changed. I realized how precious and important every single moment was. Because all the moments have a lot of things behind such as the feelings, time spent for preparation, history of the families, and so on.
 Photography can make the happiest day in the life into everlasting, and hand the story from generation to generation. That is the power of photography and I believe in it.

I feel like it is my fate that I meet a couple from thousands couples looking for photographers from thousand of them. I always love my job and it is my great pleasure to share the happy events such as having new family members and their anniversaries with my clients. Capturing a couple is capturing their entire life story.

I am really looking forward to seeing you soon.
