A Proposal Framed by Cherry Blossoms and Fuji’s Grace
When Vitram reached out to plan his surprise proposal to Nikita, he had one quiet wish: to propose with Mount Fuji in the background. What followed was a heartfelt collaboration—timing the light, choosing the perfect spot, and gently weaving his moment into the natural rhythm of the cherry blossom season.
We narrowed down the options to find a location where both Mount Fuji and the sakura could share the stage. It needed to feel intimate but also scenic—a place where the landscape could hold the memory for years to come.
Setting the Scene: Cherry Blossoms, Still Waters, and Soft Light
On the day of the shoot, I arrived early to scout and finalize the exact proposal spot.
Nearby, a quiet bridge arched over water lined with blooming cherry trees, the petals fluttering in the breeze. It would be perfect for portraits later, but for the proposal itself, we chose a quieter lakeside area with that iconic view of Fuji rising behind them.
The Moment: Coordinated Quietly, Captured Discreetly
Vitram and I stayed in touch throughout the morning. I sent him a quick update via WhatsApp, guiding him to the exact spot.
Then, as they reached the designated spot—cherry blossoms overhead, Mount Fuji in the background—he knelt down. I captured the moment quietly from a distance, making sure not to interrupt their joy.
The proposal was peaceful, almost hushed by the soft petals falling around them. And while Fuji stayed modestly veiled that day, the magic of the moment didn’t need anything more.
After the Yes: Portraits on the Cherry Blossom Bridge
Once Nikita said yes and they had a moment to breathe, we took a slow walk to the nearby bridge I had scouted earlier. With cherry blossoms arching overhead and petals floating on the water below, it became the perfect spot to capture their newly engaged joy.
Nikita’s smile carried the moment—full of joy and surprise—and Vitram’s expression said everything he didn’t need to put into words.
