// Japan Spring Trip -Part 1 //

By: Andre & Agnes

Tokyo – Kawaguchiko – Yoyogi – Harajuku – Ueno – Akihabara – Kawagoe – Dotonbori – Nara

It was spring 2017, and it was our first time visiting Japan. The main reason we came to Japan was for clients’ pre-wedding photoshoot, but we extended our trip for a little bit of travelling too. We were so excited when planning the trip. We got all curious about this particular country because people around us kept saying about how amazing it is to be there. There was no single negative review about Japan that we heard from our friends who have been there. Some of them even got addicted to keep visiting and we didn’t get why..at first. But now we clearly understand why.

Fern forest, checked. Winery, checked. City stroll, checked. Lighthouse, beach cliffs, sand dunes, checked. Prewedding of Maggie and Michael is the epitome of what Melbourne is all about.

Maggie and Michael flew from Hongkong to Melbourne for a 2-day prewedding shoot with us. This was the first visit for them, therefore we wanted to go the extra mile to show things in and around our most beloved city so they can have a great wholesome experience. Since the planning stage we were already so thankful for Maggie and Michael who were being so open to our ideas, especially for the ‘newlywed couple stroll in the city’ concept. It was a nice feeling when your couple were appreciative and as excited as we were when doing the shoot.

The most memorable moment was when we reached the sand dunes after a long drive and a lot of walking. All of us were so hyped when our toes touched the soft white sands. We hopped here and there, running around like kids, losing the track of time. After that, we were literally chasing the sunset driving to Squeaky Beach, which also marked the end of our 2-day shoot.

We left our hearts in Sumba. There’s something special about this place that is so heartwarming. The outdoors are obviously outstanding, those raw and untouched landscapes really took us back in time. But the most interesting part was when we visited the Praijing ethnic village, where we got to meet and interact with the friendly native people! They are the friendliest bunch! It was so adorable to see how helpful they were towards us when we did a shoot there.

The beach house stay was a surprise gift prepared by Amelia for William whose birthday coincide with the trip. After a day of shooting in and around the eco resort, we had a dinner together by the beach as Will’s birthday celebration. It was just so wonderful to have spent a quality time with the family & good friends at a such a serene place. That was our most favourite part of the trip!

Amelia and William surely have enjoyed our stay and shoot in Sumba as well. We all keep telling each other how we miss that beautiful place. We craved the quiet and peaceful life we got to experience there. More importantly, those genuine smiles and kindness from the local people that we just cannot forget!
