Photo Trips Reviews – Real Stories from Happy Travelers

Mehdi is an amazing photographer. From the start, he was very communicative over the messaging app and even gave me recommendations to get my hair styled. On the day of, we were able to comfortably spend time talking while also taking good photos. He guided me through different poses but also gave me the flexibility to shed my own personality through the photos with my facial expressions, clothing choice, and hand placements. Within just a day or two, Mehdi had sent me the full list of photos and gave me the opportunity to choose which ones I wanted edited (alternatively, he can choose for you if you don’t want to bother sifting through the photos). Overall, the experience you get for the price is very high value, and my only regret is not having spent more time practicing being natural with poses and facial expressions; Mehdi truly gives you the opportunity to shine!

Jasmine is a great photographer, very patient and has amazing skills. Definitely will booked with her again!

It was a pleasure working with Mehdi. He was very friendly and professional from start to finish. It honestly felt like having a personal tour guide during the photoshoot because he is very knowledgeable on Japanese culture. He even showed me some recommendations when it came to food and things to do in Japan. The photos came out amazing and he was quick to edit them. I highly recommend you book Mehdi as your photographer when you come to Japan!

Jayson is one of the best and most efficient photographer in Tokyo. I booked at such a last minute time slot and yet he is still able to confirm and deliver awesome photos at such a short time. He was so patient and accommodating as well. His editing and lighting on every photo is beautiful, very worth it! Thank you Jayson, definitely recommend to everyone ✨

Kevin wasn’t only a photographer but felt like hanging with a tour guide. He makes you feel like a model even if you don’t know how to pose or if its your first time. Photos came out amazing unedited and even better after editing. I highly recommend you book a shoot with him. He is very professional and quick to schedule with and get your photos afterwards. Thanks Kevin!

Yuliya was great to work with and delivered gorgeous pictures! We shot pics in a really crowded area and she did an awesome job at being mindful of the crowd and finding spots that were calm and aesthetically pleasing. Very professional and highly recommend her!

Jasmine was a great photographer ! All the photos taken were phenomenal! I highly recommend her. She is also a very sweet person and easy to vibe with!

The photoshoot with Jasmine was everything I could’ve hoped for. I wanted to try long exposure shots and she was able to capture my vision perfectly. I have no experience being photographed but she was very patient with me, gave me pointers, and made me feel super comfortable. This was also my first time visiting Japan and she even suggested lesser known areas that truly captured the Tokyo vibe. Jasmine is very talented, professional, and personable- I highly recommend booking a photoshoot with her and you won’t be disappointed!

I simply love the pictures! I tried few times to get night pictures but didn’t like the results, but with Mehdi it was fun, he really knew the right places and got cool shoots. If you want nice memories from your trip to Tokyo, this photoshoot is a must!

Jayson was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. He was extremely responsive and helpful throughout our conversations leading up to my proposal. On the day of the proposal when we were running an hour late he was super flexible and stayed well past our originally planned time. We could not be happier with our experience and our pictures, and would definitely recommend Jayson to anyone wanting the perfect pictures around Mt. Fuji.

Working with Mehdi in Japan was honestly one of the best decisions I made on my trip.

He was not just my photographer, but also my guide, and he made the entire experience feel effortless and special. Every shoot was well organized, thoughtful, and surprisingly educational. I learned so much while creating the most beautiful memories.

Mehdi is such a warm and friendly soul. He makes you feel comfortable instantly, which shows in the photos. Nothing felt rushed or forced. Everything flowed naturally, and that made the moments even more meaningful.

I truly appreciate his professionalism, his patience, and the care he puts into his work. Because of this experience, Japan now holds an even deeper place in my heart, and I am genuinely happy to keep coming back.

If you are ever in Japan and need a photographer or guide, I wholeheartedly recommend him.

Top service. Amazing human. Beautiful character.

Incredible experience!!!! Mehdi was great to work with! He shared a ton of interesting tips during the shoot, kept things relaxed and natural, and made the whole experience easy and fun. The photos came out amazing. If you’re in two minds, don’t hesitate, you will enjoy the experience and the results and memories!

We had a photoshoot earlier this week for our anniversary and I couldn’t recommend this enough. Jack was wonderful, he put us at ease and is clearly a skilled photographer. He knows the city well and took us to some beautiful spots. Seoul has been somewhere we have always wanted to visit and this is the perfect way to remember our holiday. The booking process was simple and throughout Jack has been easy to communicate with and super friendly. We love these photos!!!

I was nervous about booking a photographer online (that I’ve never met) but Jayson was truly amazing. He was super knowledgeable about the area around Fuji and helped me plan the perfect proposal. He also saved me the morning of the proposal when I couldn’t find a car to take me to the proposal spot. You will not regret working with Jayson!

Taka was very accommodating and helped pick the best spot for the proposal. Was good at communicating and planning out exactly what I wanted and was able to take great pictures of the surprise proposal and during the photoshoot afterwards. He took lots of photos and ended up giving us around 80 editted photos at the end.

Jayson is an amazing photographer and new found friend. His vision and ability to capture the essence of the moment made our special occasion that much more meaningful. He gave clear instructions on where to meet up, and on the day itself for posing. Will recommend to any other friends looking to travel to Japan for a shoot.

Great photos! He spent two hours with me to make sure I got the right shots!!

Absolutely amazing and truly breathtaking work. We were so moved by the video—it beautifully captured every meaningful moment.

Thank you so much, Jayson. We feel incredibly lucky to have worked with you. From the very beginning, he was patient, thoughtful, and highly professional, guiding us through the planning process with great care and attention to detail.

The final result exceeded all our expectations. It truly meant a lot to have Jayson as our photographer, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly.

My photoshoot with Tyler in Kyoto was an absolutely amazing experience. He guided me with ease, creativity, and true professionalism, and the entire session exceeded all my expectations. Tyler captured the beauty and spirit of Kyoto and brought out the best in me in every shot. If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel comfortable and deliver stunning results, he’s the person for you.

Mehdi is a very professional photographer who is also easy-going and personalble. At first I was a bit nervous about how the photos would turn out but he instantly made me comfortable and we cracked a few jokes to lighten the mood. He took me to the best photogenic spots around shinjuku and the results exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting amazing portraits during their time in Tokyo.

I had the opportunity to visit Kyoto on my recent visit to Japan. And I was able to do a photo session with Mina. He was very patient, fun and gave good tips on how to pose. My overall experience was great. Mina captured so many great photos and he took me to many great spots. I’m happy that I was able to do this photo session and add to my experience of Kyoto. I would definitely recommend it and do it again.

On my recent trip to Japan I had the opportunity to do a photoshoot with Kevin. He was very patient, gave tips on how to pose and make me feel very comfortable in a busy area with so many people. I would definitely recommend this photoshoot to friends and family that are visiting. Also, I would book another session with him on my next visit. It’s great to have professional photos to look at in the future to remember my trip.

Fantastic shoot with Marco!!! He was very helpful at providing directions and helping me feel more comfortable. He delivered the photo as promised within the agreed upon timeline. I’m so happy I decided to get pictures taken

I found Jack on Photo Trips when researching photo shoots in Hanbok for tourists. They have a soft, grey, classic look that drew me in. Jack was very responsive via Instagram and he was thorough in sharing suggestions for what worked best for others in the past (the best hanbok shop, what time to get there in order to be ready in time, etc).

The photo shoot itself was great. I elected to get an extra hour for extra shots and I’m so glad I did. The palace was busy in all the popular spaces, but Jack knew a few special spots to get the best shots. He was also open to trying a few new things when I asked. Overall, my experience was wonderful and I wouldn’t hesitate to do this again for any experience in Seoul. If you’re on the fence, DO IT. You won’t regret it.

Kevin is a class act. Dude knows his stuff and makes awesome pics happen! Thanks again Kuya!

I had an incredible one-hour photoshoot with Kevin in Tokyo. We covered everything from the busy streets of Shinjuku to roadside spots with a Shibuya city vibe, plus hidden streets with stunning neon light effects. Kevin made the session easy, fun, and professional, and the final photos turned out cinematic and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend!

Mehdi does phenomenal work. So natural in doing poses and is very professional. it was a pleasure working with him.

Shooting with Kevin ended up being one of the best parts of my Tokyo trip. I was honestly dead tired that day and not feeling confident at all. But somehow he still made the whole thing feel so natural. No awkward posing, no forcing anything… he just knew exactly what to do and when.

His eye for detail is insane. Every shot looked like it belonged in a movie 🎥 When he sent me the final photos, I just sat there staring like… bro what?? 😳 I did NOT expect them to look that good. He captured the vibe, the streets, and even parts of me I’ve never seen in photos before.

If you’re ever in Tokyo and thinking of booking a shoot, just go with Kevin. Seriously. He’s that good! 🔥

I did a photoshoot with Marvin on my 2nd last day of the trip. It was a fun experience. He is friendly which made me feel confortable during the session.

He knows the spots and where to get the good photo so I didn’t need to worry about it.

And the photo process is very fast. If you want some photos for you trip, go with Marvin!

We had such an amazing experience during our photo session! Vivian was super professional, friendly, and made us feel so comfortable the whole time. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful — natural, elegant, and full of emotion. Couldn’t be happier with the results! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and creative photographer 🌟📸

We had an amazing couple photoshoot in Kyoto with Vivian! She has a wonderful personality and made us feel comfortable right away. She found beautiful, less crowded spots around the 10,000 Torii gates and the bamboo forest, and guided us gently on how to pose so the photos came out natural and flattering.

She also shared great local recommendations, which we really appreciated. We highly recommend her simply fantastic! ❤️

I was in Osaka solo for some days and I decides to book a photoshoot to have some photos of myself. I had a great session with Chris in Osaka. He is very talented and easy to work with. He has a great eye for light and composition, and the retro style photos came out amazing. Highly recommend him if you want authentic and creative shots in Japan!

Mehdi was great to work with! He shared a ton of interesting tips during the shoot, kept things relaxed and natural, and made the whole experience easy and fun. The photos came out amazing.

I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality, creative photography when visiting Tokyo 🤘🤘

Really liked the photoshoot, great quality and he helps you telling you how to pose. Also loved that he also explains about the places history.

It was such a fun experience working with Aki! He’s super friendly, easy to work with, and has a really chill vibe. He took us around Shibuya and Shinjuku for our photo shoot, and his talent really shows in the photos. Highly recommend him!

It was such a pleasure working with Kevin. He’s incredibly talented, professional, and friendly. I usually feel awkward in front of the camera, but he made the whole experience easy and enjoyable by guiding me through every step. I also love his unique, edgy photography style—it really stands out!

Kevin is absolutely exquisite! Extremely talented, very easy going and accommodating, and the photos turned out to be just what I had hoped for! I wish I could bring him with me on every trip!

He’s not just an incredible photographer, he’s also an amazing person to be around. Super friendly, easygoing, and professional in every way. Time flew by working with him — it honestly felt more like hanging out with a friend than a photoshoot. A truly great human before being a great photographer.
