Sofia Hiramatsu is a wedding, elopement, and portrait photographer based in Japan, creating refined imagery for couples who value beauty, emotion, and an experience that feels deeply considered from beginning to end. Her work blends documentary storytelling with an editorial sensibility. Sofia is drawn to rich contrast, deep reds, golden warmth, and the quiet tension of a moment before it fully unfolds. The subtle glance. The movement of fabric. The way light falls across a room. The feeling of being completely present with the person you love.
Featured in publications including British Vogue, Sofia brings over a decade of experience photographing people, celebrations, and love stories across Japan and beyond. She works with both digital and film, using film for its softness, depth, and ability to preserve a day with a timeless, understated quality.
Born and raised in the UK, with roots in Pakistan and years spent living in Hong Kong and the UAE, Sofia now calls Japan home. This international perspective allows her to connect naturally with couples from around the world and approach each wedding with cultural sensitivity, intuition, and care. She works with a trusted bilingual team across Japan, including a dedicated wedding planner offering support in both English and Japanese, and has close connections to some of Japan's leading vendors — videographers, makeup artists, florists, and other creatives who help bring each celebration together.
While based in Japan, Sofia is available for weddings and private commissions across Asia, and with close ties to the UK, accepts work across Europe as well. She and her team are honored to hear from couples planning a wedding or elopement in Japan or beyond.
