Pricing & Packages 2026
keeping things simple
Thank you for taking a look at my packages and pricing. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to keep this business running and continue improving my skills and services so I can deliver the best results possible for all of you!
I also pride myself on being a dedicated and professional Wedding Photographer. I am not simply a couples portrait photographer, I’ve shot over 100 full scale Weddings now and I am ready for all circumstances, rain or shine, tight timelines, small spaces, you name it - I’m ready for it!

A quick note about my packages
Rest assured, each package will deliver a generous amount of carefully edited photos (more than you’ll ever really need) in my signature natural and film like style. Analogue Film photography is also available upon request.
Delivery times can vary - in low seasons I can usually deliver within 1-2 weeks but in high seasons (Spring and Autumn), delivery will be 1-2 months (for Autumn shoots, I will deliver before Christmas Day).
Please note that whilst the prices below are generally set, pricing may need to change should there be any special requests that significantly change the coverage time, preparation, logistics and overall budget.

Planning Collaborations & Trusted Vendors in Japan
I work closely with several different Wedding Planners and Videographers in Japan. In some cases, I may not be able to provide full planning services due to venue booking / connections and relationships. In these cases, I recommend you to contact Tyson Faa at Wonder Weddings both for videography (we work great together), and planning (he and his wife have built great connections with several traditional venues). I do hope to offer more planning in the future. For a more extensive list of planners I work with, please send me an email.
Myself (photo) and Tyson (video) have worked together for many years now, we understand how each other works and do our best to compliment each other. If you’re thinking of hiring a videographer, there’s nobody else I’d rather work with in Japan!

Kind Words
“The whole day was perfect and Sam was always there capturing the magical moments of a wedding without ever hindering the events of the day. He became part of the family and we couldn’t have wished for a better photographer or person to capture our special day”
