My favorite photos from 3+ years in Japan
The title pretty much says it all! As I gear up to photograph a wedding in Japan in January I thought I would put together a slideshow of my favorite photos I made while over there. Make sure you turn your sound on as there is an awesome song by Gunsolo called “Arcadia.” Also, if you are heading to Japan, or know somebody else who is, don’t forget I am available as a photography tour guide for your trip to Japan!
Missing Japan: Why Autumn in Japan is Better Than Here
Anyone who has ever lived in Japan has probably heard multiple times, from multiple people, that Japan has four seasons. A lot of my friends and coworkers were really proud and excited to tell me this fact. At first, I couldn’t understand why so many were so eager to tell me this, after all, most places that I have been to, do in fact have four seasons. I kept asking myself, “Why do they think they are so special for having four seasons?” It took me a while to realize that they were not thinking this way at all and the more likely reason I heard this so many times is because there is such a heavy emphasis on the changing of seasons in Japan.

Living in Japan for over three was one of the best experiences of my life. While I lived abroad, I spent a lot of time traveling. I traveled throughout the county and have probably been more places than most Japanese! Japan is a unique, exquisite and beautiful place that might seem daunting to do by yourself. This is where I come in, as your Experience Japan Travel and Photography Guide, part Japan tour guide and part photographer. I create custom travel tours of Japan, based on you unique interests, personalities and how active you want to be. Whether it is a relaxing onsen tour around Japan, a temple and shrine Kyoto tour, or traveling around all of Japan, I can create a custom itinerary for you and be your photography and travel guide in Japan.
There are a few things that I am really passionate about, and Japan and photography happen to be two of them. I really enjoy talking about and sharing my experiences from Japan. That is why I take a small group of travelers to this incredible place. I love to share my unique view on the country and its culture and to guide travelers throughout Japan to some great spots to visit, photograph, and enjoy!
In addition, and maybe the best part, not only will I act as your tour guide of Japan and photography mentor, but also I will be your own personal photographer for your vacation in Japan! No more shots of only the wife or having to ask a stranger to take your photo (which always ends up not the way you wanted it)! I will document your vacation as much as you want and provide you with great memories and unique experiences as your guide in Japan. Please contact me for more details.

Leigh and Matt | Wedding Photography | Safety Harbor, Florida
In this business I have meet a lot of happy, in love couples. Sometimes I meet a couple that is even beyond that, a couple the is so right for each other, I can’t use words to describe how perfect they are for each other and the special bond they share… good thing I am a photographer! One of these couples is Leigh and Matt. They got married on July 11th in the wonderful little town of Safety Harbor, Florida (just outside of Tampa) at The Safety Harbor Resort and Spa. I went down a little early and spent most of the weekend with them, doing a, later than normal, engagement session, covering the rehearsal and then shooting the wedding! After it was over I am sure they felt I was stalking them… although I guess I kind of was for the weekend! And what a lovely weekend it was! Everything was planned out perfectly and went beautifully. It was a wonderful weekend and I had a great time! Congratulations to Leigh and Matt and thanks again for letting me be part of your special day!
