About us
Hi there!! We are “Tolocca”.
Husband and wife have teamed up as a wedding and vacation photographers team. Don’t worry, we both are professional.
Our photography styles are all about naturally documenting unique moments, and the real reactions of my clients.
We don’t have any set routines. I will never ask you to say cheese, have you do unnatural poses, or tell your kids to stay still.
I’d like the photos to be very unique, just how they should be.
In order to make it possible, we “talk”.
We want to make you feel very comfortable just as your friends are taking photos of you.
Feel free to talk with us – in English.
Our staff can shoot in English.
We promise that “We will make your trip so much better”
So please relax and enjoy our photo session together!!
Our Concept
“Tolocca” means “Take one?” in Japanese.
Let’s casually photograph yourself like that.
As you are, as you usually smile.
You are the best in your nature.
Let’s catch the blissful moment of you and your loved ones.
“Where to photograph you is the key”
You can express your nature at ease in your home or favorite places.
We, Tolocca, visit your favorite place to photo you there.
We meet your demand! We visit anywhere and take the photo you desire anytime and as many photos as you want.
Anywhere we said. We meant it. We can visit anywhere at your requests, we even visit abroad.
“Communication makes your photo the best”
Photographing you best requires knowing your nature and uniqueness. The best shot of your nature comes from the environment where you feel at home. Therefore, we ourselves enjoy photographing you with laughter and friendliness of you and us.
Our Team
Husband and Wife Team
Masa
Born in Nagano, Japan
He never misses the moment.
He is always trying to communicate enough with you all, adults and children, to elicit your nature and uniqueness.
Aasmi
Born in Kyoto, Japan
She takes photos with mild atmosphere.
Many people find her style more than satisfying: She plays with your children when photographing them to catch their natural expressions.

Wonderful photographers. They provide a warm and caring service; it was fantastic having them with us on our special day. The photos were plentiful and they turned out greater than we could have ever imagined. A good variety too! There were creative, lush and artistic ones as well are lots of very natural ones, which people complimented us on for being unpretentious and not overly posed. I would highly recommend hiring these photographers. They are talented and passionate people who will value your wedding memories as much as you do.

Both Masa and Asami san have been very helpful and professional throughout the 1 day photoshoot in Kyoto !
