Couple Photo

In Kamakura, where it began

2024.01.11 | Kamakura, Kanagawa

Yottake and Chiaki went back to Kamakura, where they had their first date.

“The place we have walked together ever since that day.”

Walking once more through the streets of Kamakura, so full of their memories. With the same smiles as that first day, laying new memories over the old. One special day, theirs alone, kept in photographs.

Messages from Yottake and Chiaki

From Yottake

I never imagined the day would come when we would have photographs taken in the place of our first date. The memories of that day came flooding back, and I felt again how precious my time with Chiaki is. Thank you, Koto, for such beautiful photographs.

From Chiaki

The shoot in Kamakura turned into a special time for looking back on our memories together. Koto’s gentle presence let us stay completely ourselves. Every time I look at these photographs, I remember how happy we were that day.

After the shoot

Yottake, Chiaki — thank you for letting me photograph you. To be able to photograph you in Kamakura, where you had your first date, was a rare chance to stand close to your memories. The stories of that day you told me as we walked. Your gentle smiles, and the natural closeness between you — it was a lovely thing to be near. I would be glad to keep more of your important moments in the years ahead.

Koto

Shall we keep your moments in photographs, too?

Photographs you will treasure for a lifetime.
