Kyo Morishima Photography

ped us pivot and found opportunities for photos throughout the night-even in freezing temperatures for a few minutes at a time. They captured so many spontaneous moments that I’m so grateful to have photos of now-moments that I wouldn’t have thought to ask for and just happened naturally. They were there to get it all! Kyo was helpful and kind throughout our planning and helped us feel at ease. Our pictures came out amazing and I would recommend Kyo to everyone.

excited about as well. We didn't want overly staged photos for our low key wedding day and he understood that completely. We will cherish these photos forever. Highly recommend!

itude and were running around like crazy to help get us all the shots we wanted. We felt completely comfortable with him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

d or fourth family occasional Kyo has photographed. I am incredibly uncomfortable having my picture taken but Kyo always has such a vision for his photos. He's excited to get interesting and creative shots. It really made me feel like I was apart of his vision - that took off so much pressure from me and made me trust him. That, plus I have literally never looked better in any photos. I don't know what magic he does but he always caught our most flattering angles. He captures formal photos but also the sweet moments that show people's personalities and give a sense of the spirit of a moment. I am so happy his photos will be how my children experience these events from before they were around, giving a sense of who all of us were and how we felt. Hire him!

ing, and his portraits looked more natural than others. Upon meeting Kyo, we were certain we wanted to work with him because he's understanding, focused and nice to be around. We can't thank him enough for his work which we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

assistant were extremely professional and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. The end results were so beautiful, we will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Kyo for all your photography needs!

ID micro wedding. All of our families also mentioned to us how great he was to work with. I definitely recommend working with Kyo and Janna!

ssurance made us feel extremely comfortable in our choice to work with them. Of all the folks we worked with to make our day special, Kyo and Janna stand out and remain near and dear to our hearts. PS. We actually ended up with a payment error (our fault!) and Kyo/Janna were able to reverse it without a problem. - They really are the best to work with.

fect match. Kyo and Janna are very professional, organized, and best of all, so personable. They took the time to get to know us as a couple, to understand and know what moments would mean the most to us on our wedding day when we would both be consumed by the whirlwind of events that day. We were looking for a style of photos that captured who we are, photos that are natural, clean, and not overly dramatic, and Kyo's photographs revealed just that. Kyo was familiar with our venue which was very helpful, as he was able to guide us throughout the various events for the best shots. Kyo and his assistant were very calm and "disappeared" into the party, we were thrilled to see all the action shots he got during the reception. The album we received was beautifully done and beautifully packaged. Janna helped us through the difficult process of narrowing down a photo selection and kept us updated throughout the production of the album. We loved working with Kyo and Janna and highly recommend!

able, happy, and loving. During the wedding, Kyo was unobtrusive and did a great job of catching the sweet, natural moments throughout the day. The photos really capture the love and joy we felt. Throughout the planning process and after the wedding, Kyo and Janna were extremely responsive and helpful and always going beyond our expectations, like getting our photos to us early so that we could send them out for Christmas cards. It was a pleasure to work with them, and our photos came out beautifully!

hey communicated with us and our day of coordinator frequently before our big day. They were always prompt, kind and genuine. We found them on the Nassau Inn’s list of recommended vendors and they are one of the venue’s favorite photographers to work with for a reason! On the day of, they captured all of the moments we wanted without feeling intrusive at all. Looking at our photos, we were amazed at how they captured practically all of our guests and so many beautiful moments. We will treasure our photos forever. We strongly recommend Kyo and Janna for your wedding or event. They are true professionals and warm and lovely people!

t he was even there. We had some staged photos, of course, but aside from that I can't believe how many wedding details he captured without being intrusive at all. A+.

second thought.

very down-to-earth person which translates to his style of photography. All the shots felt very genuine and intimate - something we really wanted for our own photos. We knew immediately that he should be our photographer. He and his wife, Janna, who is also incredibly lovely to work with, communicated with us several times before the big day and assured us everything would go smoothly. During the wedding, he was very happy to accommodate our guests who wanted him to take pictures of them as well. We also did a fun little shoot with props with the extra time we had! He was very open to these ideas. The digital photos came out gorgeous. We received our physical photo album that they created for us and the quality was incredible. It came in a lovely box with thick, stay-flat pages and each photo was color-corrected and touched up for print. Thank you, Kyo and Janna. You have given us photos of our special day that we can treasure forever.

fy with and honor this kind of union; and b) his photography style is documentary-style and he captures emotions in an unassuming way. I'd rather not pose for a ton of photos but instead have someone capture moments throughout the day that are 100% natural and raw. Just to name a few reasons we loved working with Kyo and Janna: -The warm, personable, and professional demeanor of both Janna and Kyo: From the minute we met them in person and throughout the whole process of the wedding, we were always met with kindness and consideration. We felt so comfortable and confident in the process of planning the wedding photography with them. -The promptness of responding: Anyone planning a wedding knows it's important to get quick and informative answers to questions. I always heard back from Janna/Kyo soon after I sent them a message and they did their best to answer my questions. I even found my makeup consultant through them! -How easy Kyo made the day of the wedding feel in terms of our portraits and couples photo session: The way Kyo directed us during the day of our wedding made us feel so comfortable and it felt EASY to take photos throughout the day. I kept telling Kyo that I felt like I should have been doing more during the day because he was so on top of everything and let me attend to everything else. Our guests commented on how Kyo was so attentive and clearly documenting all of the special moments. -We haven't even seen the final product yet but I am 100% confident we'll be so happy. We ordered one of their fine art wedding albums so we're excited for that keepsake. Thank you!!

to know us from the very beginning. They guided us through what to expect in terms of timing and offered recommendations on locations for photos and logistics where I wasn't sure. On the wedding day itself, Kyo and his assistant were so laid back and positive, they really contributed to the relaxed feel we hoped our wedding day would have! And of course, the photos came out beautifully. We've got our family portraits, but we also now have an amazing record of the whole day. Definitely work with Kyo if you have the chance!

him ten stars if I could. Kyo and his wife, Janna, were a pleasure to work with and made me feel like I was always a priority throughout this entire process. They are truly a dream team. From beginning to end, I always felt like we were in good hands. Professional, friendly, attentive, well organized and super helpful are just a few words to describe Kyo and Janna. My husband and I selected Kyo because we felt his photographs are not only timeless and beautiful, but because Kyo has an immense talent for capturing the moment and our emotions. The memories we created on our wedding will last a lifetime and we are so happy that Kyo could capture and preserve them for us. Our engagement photographs even made my Mom cry because she had never seen a picture of her little girl look as happy and as in love as I did in our photos. During our engagement session and wedding, Kyo made my husband and I feel so relaxed and the entire experience was so much fun for us. It was a true collaboration of ideas and Kyo was really open to our thoughts and suggestions. Our pictures came out so beautifully and I am so happy with them. My husband and hope to work with Kyo again in the future as our family grows.

team who is as responsive, organized, and personalized as Kyo and Janna. His photographs are beautifully composed and very sophisticated. Although he specializes in documentary style photography, he took absolutely stunning formal portraits. He also captured little, offbeat moments that will help me remember the details of the day that seemed to go by way too fast! I usually hate having my picture taken, but Kyo made me and my husband feel completely at ease and the pictures turned out beautifully. He knows the area (central and North Jersey) very well which was helpful because I did not know the Bernardsville area at all. My family and guests have been raving about the photos. Now I can't wait to order my album!
