things to take care


since profesional photoshoot is not allowed anymore (they will charge us if they find out we are doing a photoshoot) please do not use

  • do not use kimono
  • do not use fancy dress or suit
  • use a normal clothes like normal tourist


And I just limit photoshoot over there for only 30 mins photo+video to avoid suspicion. and if someone asking about me just tell that we are friends.

If you want to know why this happened? long time ago it was totally ok to do any photoshoot there, until then they find out they did not get any profit from our photoshoot they decided that we must report anything paid related photoshoot and I do not want to do that.🤣 So that is why. just keep it low profile.🤣

My Point of View when I capture your moment


Please go ahead to propose her when you see me.



  • we will exchange our selfie to know each other (few minutes or hours before)
  • I will be there at least 15 mins before time
  • If you see me then just go ahead to propose
  • If you see a potential passerby will passing place you propose please pause
  • Please... kneel down at least 20 second so I have time to catch with photos.... you can use speech "I know this is surprise, but I think this is the time to let you know that I am......."



One very important things to take notes:

Guys please, if you did propose your partner before our photo shoot days before, let me know! It is not only once or twice, but often I am surprised that you guys just engaged LOL without telling me.


There was a time when I was waiting for my clients at designated area for surprise proposal, they went to me instead of propose their partner and say "hi Michael nice to meet you!" and I am very shocked and surprised, I said "what? But? oh, yeah nice to meet you" we shaked hand, and you introduced your fiancé to me🤣 I am so awkward🤣 why you go to me instead of propose your partner. Found out you did that without telling me, hey guys I just very ready at the moment and didn't expect that🤣

"Surprising surprise photographer🤣"


Anyway nice to meet you and let's do it!
