We received a message from the couple who had their wedding in 2021 saying they were returning to Okinawa for the first time in a year, and we had the pleasure of photographing them once again.

Runner-Up in the Film Category and Yomitan Village Award: Interview with Keigo

 

Acceptance Speech

I am deeply honored to have received two awards this time. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone involved for providing this opportunity.

 

About the Award-Winning Works

The couple in the video returned to Okinawa one year after their wedding at Aqua Grace Chapel in Yomitan Village and were thoroughly enjoying their time there. Okinawa is a place they can return to anytime—not just on their wedding day. As their photographer, it was a moment that allowed me to rediscover the charm of Okinawa.

 

What Led Me to Become a Photographer and Videographer

It all started when I was a student and helped film and edit a relative’s wedding; receiving their gratitude left a deep impression on me.

 

Future Activities

Receiving this award fills me with both gratitude and a sense of renewed determination. I will continue to stay focused every single moment and do my best to deliver the very best work to as many people as possible!
