    We are a family of four visiting Japan for the first time. Our tour guide Abgail helped us connect with the customs and culture and entertained us with the history of tóp attractions in Kyoto. She was very creative the way she organized the tour and kept us fully immersed with facts, anecdotes, rituals and quizzes at each of the spots along the tour.

    Best photo tour experience ever!
    PunKam_R, Apr 2024
    Loved our photography - sight seeing tour! Abigail was fun and knowledgeable of local history and culture of tour spots. She recommended we can rent kimonos at the local Kyoto station shops, and it was an experience in and of itself. So fun selecting kimonos, having someone help put it on and getting hair done. My family was dressed and ready for our tour & photography. We stopped along the way for photos, being posed to capture iconic backdrops. Can’t wait to see the pictures, with quick turn around times. We would highly recommend this photography tour to anyone wanting both a tour and pro photos! Abigail is the best! We had a great time.

    Thank you so much!! You guys definitely looked great in your kimonos :)
    Highly recommended

    It was an amazing day with Abigail during a recent photo session in Kyoto. I was travelling with my 11 yo son and he was amazed how easy we spent the day! Abigail was very accommodating to our needs, made a great and interesting tour for us and amazing photos. She also changed a bit the tour to make beautiful photos with Sakura! Thank you for this time! Olena and Daniel Read more

    Our photographer, Aby, was very accommodating. All her picture shots were very nice and we really love them. We are very happy with the outcome and for sure we will refer her to our friends who will be visiting Kyoto.

    Exceptional Photography Experience with Abigail in Kyoto
    Khoa_T, Dec 2023
    I had the pleasure of working with Abigail during a recent photo session in Kyoto, and I couldn't be more impressed with her professionalism and artistic eye. Abigail's ability to make us feel comfortable and at ease was remarkable. Despite our initial hesitations and shyness in front of the camera, she skillfully guided us through the poses and created a relaxed atmosphere. Her patience and kindness were evident throughout the session, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about capturing the essence of our experience. Abigail's talent as a photographer truly shone through in the final results. For anyone seeking a memorable and enjoyable photography experience in Kyoto, I wholeheartedly endorse Abigail for her exceptional skills and delightful personality.

    Après-midi parfaite entre visite guidée et shooting photo
    Cindy_L, Sep 2023
    Abigail était parfaite, très accueillante. Nous avons adoré avoir les explications de histoire des temples ainsi que les anecdotes. Les photos prises par Abigail sont magnifique. Nous qui ne sommes pas habitué à faire des shooting photo elle nous a guidé sur les poses et le placement. Nous recommandons vivement la prestation de Abigail. C’est une bonne façon de découvrir Kyoto et d’avoir des photos souvenir professionnel.
