FAQ:
(really important to read to know how the process is going from booking to receive the pictures)
Q: What if we take 30 mins session but we late 15 minutes? Do you tolerate being late during the appointment?
A: This is really important to know. I will only follow booking time, for example if we have an appointment from 7am to 7:30am and you are not there until 7:15am I will considering down payment forfeited (down payment is 20% which is 8.000 yen) and if you come later at 7:30am you need to pay full payment for 1hour instead of 30 mins and photoshoot ended at 8:00 am
But if you propose her at 7:15 am and decided to continue with the plan of 30 mins then the photoshoot will end exactly at 7:30
I can understand that you need to be there exactly at arranged time and place without your partner know that is why I would suggest you to take 1 hour photoshoot instead of 30 mins to give you peace of mind
I will always come 15 mins before, I would advice you to come 1 to 3 minutes before the appointment and propose her 1 or 3 minutes before the time is ok rather than being late.
Q: Will you help me to arrange best secret proposal for us?
yes I have secret proposal almost everyday for my 8 years career doing a photoshoot and I will give you full guide after down payment.
