Acceptance Speech

I am truly honored that my video was selected for this contest. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude. In the 2022 contest, I was awarded the Runner-up Prize in the Movie Category. While I was delighted, I also felt a sense of regret. Given that, I am deeply moved to have won the Grand Prize this time. Once again, I would like to thank everyone who voted for and rated my video.

 

About the Award-Winning Works

The forecast for that day called for severe weather as a typhoon approached. Despite that, we were blessed with a series of miracles—clear blue skies and a beautiful sunset just in time for our outdoor photoshoot. We made full use of the couple’s and their families’ natural charm to create an album that captures their journey ahead, filled with happiness and the beauty of Okinawa’s sea, sky, and greenery.

 

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, which left a deep impression on me.

 

Future Activities

I am both grateful to have received this award and deeply humbled by the honor. I will continue to stay focused every single moment, deliver the very best work to as many people as possible, and do my utmost to further energize the Okinawa resort wedding scene! I am truly looking forward to the next event.
