The forecast called for extremely rough weather that day as a typhoon approached. Despite that, just when we were shooting outdoors, we were blessed with blue skies and a beautiful sunset. It was a day filled with one miracle after another. We created this album to capture the sea, sky, and greenery of Okinawa—filled with happiness and emotion—as a tribute to the journey the two of them will embark on together.

Interview with Keigo

Acceptance Speech

I am truly honored that my video has been selected for the Yomitan Village Award. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude. I would also like to thank everyone who voted for and rated my video.

 

About the Award-Winning Works

I have taken photos in various locations throughout Okinawa, but I’ve spent a great deal of time shooting in Yomitan Village, so I was truly delighted to learn of this award. I would be even happier if this could serve as a small way to give back to Yomitan Village, which has always been so supportive of me, and if it sparks people’s interest in the village. I look forward to continuing to capture and share the natural beauty and culture of Yomitan Village and Okinawa, which are full of charm.

 

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.
