Kyo Morishima is an award-winning documentary wedding photographer based in the NYC and Princeton area, and covering destinations worldwide.

I specialize in warm, relaxed, candid photography with a classic photo-journalistic style. I love working with down-to-earth people who have a sense of adventure, and who want to do something a little different for their wedding.

Your wedding is one of the most memorable days of your life. My goal is to capture exactly how it felt. I do my very best to put you at ease, stay unobtrusively in the background, and make the whole process as fun and effortless as possible.

I’m excited to meet you!

An amazing photographer

We fell in love with Kyo’s style the moment we saw his work, and we’re beyond thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out. He was great to work with—organized, fast to respond, and super collaborative. He struck the perfect balance between posed shots and candid moments, capturing the overall vibe and emotion of the day in a way that felt very true to us. We had so many favorites, it was hard to narrow them down! He made us feel relaxed and comfortable the entire time. Would hire him again in a heartbeat.

So great to work with!

Kyo and his assistant were terrific to work with. They photographed my daughter's wedding from dressing room to ceremony to the reception that ran an extra hour! They handled family photos including 3 young children with professionalism, grace and humor. I so recommend Kyo!

Recommend!

I've waited a very long time to write this review (my apologies, Kyo!) but it was one of those things that I kept on my to do list because I really wanted to sit down and give it my 100% attention. Kyo is just the best. Our wedding was the third 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!

Kyo was fantastic

We hired Kyo to do the photography for our October wedding. Kyo met with us in a cafe and covered his services and set clear expectations for us early on. His planning and attention to detail helped us prepare our shot list for the big day. Kyo was incredibly detail-oriented and good at what he does. He took time to test lighting for all photos and did a great job helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera which is something both me and my wife struggle with. We were incredibly impressed with him and plan to use him again for future shoots.

Amazing Wedding Photography

Kyo photographed our wedding at Nassau Inn in Princeton NJ this June. Our experience with Kyo and his team was one of the highlights of our wedding. We don’t usually enjoy posing and being photographed but Kyo made us feel at ease and gave us very good cues. He was very excited about all our ideas for photos and walked with us all around campus for photos at all the locations we wanted. Kyo knew where to go to get the best shots at the locations we chose and was very knowledgeable about the campus. During the wedding we got pictures with all of our guests as well as of all the decor elements that we had put together.

The booking and planning process was also very easy and Janna was very helpful and responsive throughout. We highly recommend Kyo for any event!

Truly beautiful photographs and a friendly, smooth experience!

Kyo photographed our September wedding in Philadelphia and we are so incredibly happy with how the photographs turned out. Communication was easy throughout the process and we are so impressed with Kyo's eye for detail and his ability to capture moments that were important to us. The formal family portraits were framed in front of a tree that we all had seen many times and did not consider particularly special, but in a testament to Kyo's eye and talent, it looks truly fantastic in these images! We were able to take a lot of formal family portraits quickly, which was really important to us and our parents, and Kyo was a calming presence throughout. His photos of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dance floor are all equally beautiful. Both of our families are thrilled to have such amazing images that reflect how special the day was and all of the thought everyone put into it. We can't recommend Kyo and Janna highly enough.

This is a very belated review from October! Kyo and his team were consummate professionals from beginning to end. He and Janna responded incredibly quickly to emails and any questions we had.

Additionally, and most importantly, Kyo is just a fantastic photographer. He captures moments in a way I haven’t seen any photographer manage. He has a beautiful eye and I truly could not have been happier with my photos.

Kyo was also just a great person to spend the day with. I am not super comfortable being photographed but his direction and suggestions were fantastic, and he’s very laid back and kind, which put me at ease instantly.

Lastly, the pricing is EXTREMELY reasonable for the very high level of quality Kyo offers. I do not think there is a better option for wedding photography in the Princeton/NJ area than Kyo!

We could not have had a more positive experience with Kyo and Janna. We loved everything about the process from the initial meeting, to the engagement session, to the day of, through all of the follow-up. Kyo and Janna were absolutely professional and responsive, but also real people with a lovely family! The photos were beautiful and covered all of our "asks" that we discussed in our first meeting and throughout. HIGHLY recommend!!

We worked with Kyo and Janna for our engagement and wedding photos, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire process! They are both so flexible and down to earth, responsive to my questions, and took the time to get 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!

Kyo and Janna were fabulous! They delivered gorgeous pictures and were a pleasure to work with. We wanted some portraits, but mostly documentation of the events as they actually unfolded. Kyo was great, and the photos are a true and beautiful reflection of the day. We were so happy to spend so much of our time with each other and our guests, rather than being posed, and still have a gorgeous wedding album.
If you're looking for a photographer who will capture the natural beauty of your wedding, go with Kyo!

We recently recommended Kyo Morishima Photography to our client and we are so happy that we did! Kyo and Janna were super easy to work with from beginning to end. As event planners, we always look for vendors who are professional, respond in a timely manner, and who are flexible with our clients' needs and budgets. Kyo offered just that! On the day of the event, Kyo remained calm and on task and was unobtrusive when taking photographs. He took the lead when necessary and easily managed a family portrait session during the party, which included more people than the norm (without taking too much time so guests wouldn't miss out on the party). Kyo had a quick turnaround time for the pictures and overall, our clients were thrilled with how beautifully he captured the day! We look forward to collaborating once again on future events.

Kyo Morishima is one of the nicest and most innovative photographers I have worked with since becoming a wedding officiant. The attention to detail and creative photos captures the essence of true love between the couples he photographs. While remaining almost invisible, Kyo was able to document every detail from the signing of the marriage license to the wonderful Fall landscape of the wedding on which we both worked. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this photographer if you are in the market for someone to create very special memories of your big day! Betty Coram, Wedding Officiant New Jersey Beautiful Weddings
