HOKKAIDO KUSHIRO
Pre-wedding destination shoot
(English speaker plan)
Dear Visitors from Around the World, Welcome to Kushiro!
Nice to meet you.
My name is Yuto Takagi — a wedding photographer and certified outdoor guide based in Hokkaido Kushiro city, Japan.
Before I became a photographer, I worked in the travel industry for 13 years, organizing and leading tours around the world.
Five years ago, I decided to follow my passion and became a wedding photographer.
Now, I offer unique photo experiences that combine wedding photography with customized travel plans in Hokkaido.
This is more than a job — it's a dream come true.
I've had my own wedding photos taken in the Maldives, Vietnam, and Hokkaido.
So I understand how challenging it can be to plan everything — dresses, hair, makeup — especially in a foreign country.
That’s why I want to support people like you, who come from overseas with big dreams and hopes.
If I can help you create joyful memories here, that would be the most fulfilling thing in the world.
Your wedding photo in Hokkaido might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
I hope that not only the photos, but also your time with us, will become a precious part of your memories.
To be honest, my English is simple — just enough to communicate.
I’m still learning and doing my best, just like writing this message now.
I lived and worked in Vietnam for 6 years using English, so while my grammar may not be perfect,
I believe what truly matters is clear and sincere communication.
Maybe you’ll feel my effort more than my fluency — and I’m okay with that :)
If you’re dreaming of a wedding photo shoot in Hokkaido, I would love to help make that dream come true.
At the same time, you’ll be helping me fulfill my dream: to support international couples and travelers with heartfelt photo experiences in Hokkaido.
Let’s create unforgettable memories together.
Feel free to contact me — I'll be happy to help in any way I can.
Warmest regards,
Yuto Takagi
English-Speaking Staff Support
for Your Wedding Photo Experience
An English-speaking staff member will accompany you throughout your wedding photo experience.
From choosing your outfits to dressing, hair, and makeup, we make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
In Japan, not many people are able to speak English.
I used to work in the travel industry and even arranged my own wedding photo shoot abroad.
Through that experience, I learned how stressful it can be when the language barrier makes communication difficult.
That is why I want to provide you with peace of mind by offering reliable English support.
Although I am not a perfect English speaker, I spent six years in Vietnam using English daily to work with local people.
I believe that even if my English is not 100%, what matters most is that your wishes are truly understood and carefully conveyed.
Please feel at ease and leave everything in our care.
