京都 ・ 一瞬を、一生に。
A bride and groom holding hands on a quiet stone path in a lush Kyoto garden A LITTLE LOVE. A LITTLE KYOTO.
Based in Kyoto, Japan Wherever love takes youHonest moments. Held forever.

More than how it looked. How it felt.

The way your hands find each other.
The laughter you didn’t plan.
That’s where the story lives.

I’m Aiko, a wedding photographer with a soft spot for the unscripted.
I make photographs that feel like memories — warm, honest, and entirely yours.

02 / Hello. こんにちは。

A quiet presence.
An open heart.

I’m Aiko. A photographer, a Kyoto wanderer,
and a believer in the beauty of ordinary things.

Living in Kyoto has taught me to slow down. To notice the light on an old wooden doorway, the change of a season, the things that ask for nothing but your attention.

That’s how I approach your day, too. With gentle guidance when you need it and space to be yourselves when you don’t. I’ll be there for the beautiful portraits — and all the life happening in between.

with love, Aiko

Some things begin
with a simple hello.

Tell me about you, your plans, and the things you want to remember. We’ll take it from there, together.

A little about you. A little about your dreams.
