A moment of creativity and serenity around the mandala 🎨

We participated in an absolutely beautiful mandala activity, hosted by Sara. It was a very pleasant, calm and creative moment, shared with guests of all ages in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Sara is an exceptional facilitator: smiling, patient and always listening. She put everyone at ease and encouraged everyone to express their creativity. Thanks to it, even those who had never tried this type of activity took great pleasure. Many thanks for this beautiful moment of relaxation and sharing. We leave with beautiful memories... and beautiful works ❤️❤️

Highly Recommended Kyoto Photoshoot

I texted him just a day before asking for an early morning shoot in Gion, and he replied instantly. He asked me questions about the kind of photos I wanted, and you could tell right away he really loves what he does. When we met the next morning, he took me to some amazing spots around Gion. I don’t have a lot of experience taking photos, but he guided me the whole time and made it really easy and fun. The pictures turned out great, and honestly, the shoot itself was very enjoyable, and he’s also just a great guy to talk to. If you’re in Kyoto and want some beautiful photos in Gion, I’d 100% recommend booking with him.

We walked away feeling very comfortable and excited to see the beautiful pictures, and we were beyond thrilled with the end products! Thank you so much Hugh for such an incredible experience, and gifting us with beautiful images we will cherish forever from our time in Kyoto!

Perfect!

Hugh did an outstanding job! He is very sympathetic and that helped me a lot because I was really nervous in the beginning. The photos were great, definitely something I will keep for the rest of my life! Great experience!

Perfect experience!

I had a photoshoot booked with Hugh and he was very warm and supportive throughout the whole shoot. I had actually let him know in advance that I wanted to organise an engagement proposal and he immediately offered to help as much as he could to guarantee a magical experience for my partner and I. This definitely paid off as the photo’s and moment turned out exactly how I imagined and my partner felt the same. Throughout the shoot Hugh was very knowledgable of each location and provided extensive assistance on our posing. The turnover for photo editing was only 12 hours! He loves what he does for sure. Highly recommend to anyone looking to gain a memorable and personalised album of photos from Kyoto.
