I had an amazing experience with Cristian Bucur for my maternity shoot! He was not only incredibly talented but also so professional and directive throughout the session. I really appreciated how he took the time to explain how the lights and angles would work to bring out the best shots—it made me feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera.

Christian took the photos at a recent baptism and also at the lunch event afterwards. He did a truly fantastic job, not only with the photos but with how he inter acted with everyone which helped him capture the moments perfectly.

Thank you for giving us such a beautiful collection of photos.

I definitely recommend tapping him for his photography services.

I am so glad that I stumbled across Cristian Bucur Photography, saw him on Facebook. He came on time, it was raining, but he managed to capture great photos.

Kareece, from Australia:
“I usually feel very awkward with others taking photos of me – this was NOT the case with Cristian! He made me feel relaxed and comfortable and took some amazing photos. Some of the pictures, I felt like he really captured a side of me that most people don’t understand or see.
Earlier this year, I actually had another photographer in Hawaii take some shots – I was incredibly disappointed with them. The whole time they did the shoot (one with a camera, one with the lighting) they referred to me as a third person. I felt so uncomfortable the whole time and the photos from the other photographer reflect that.
It really is about the photographer…working with Cristian was more like catching up with an old friend. Thank you so much 😊😊😊!!!“
Alex, from UK:
Christian is great at what he does. I’ve never done this before but he makes you feel at ease straight away. Highly recommend!!
Cristian is an amazing person, any photoshoot with him feels like a walk in the park with a friend I haven’t seen in a long time. Cristian is the first photographer that made my family feel comfortable in front of the camera, thus, the best photographer ever! I’m revisiting Asia this spring and I already booked another photoshoot for my family. Sakura/Cherry Blossoms will make for great memories in Tokyo. See you soon Cristian!

“Cristian took some beautiful Save The Date photos for us. We felt really comfortable and he was friendly with his directions. Thanks to his eye and skill we got some unforgettable shots against the Yokohama Minato Mirai area. We will treasure these photos! Highly recommended. Thank you again!!”
Luckily Cristian was the photographer we chose for our daughter’s first birthday ceremony. We were in no way disappointed with our choice! His interactions with our families were so positive and uplifting. We actually feared it could be hard for him to communicate, as the majority of those at the ceremony only spoke Korean. Although, that was in no way a problem for him. Plus, our photos were amazing! Thank you Cristian!!

Cristian is now my go-to photographer for everything! He captured stunning photos of my band’s (Catherine Forte) debut show this Thursday.

Already decided on his work for the album cover art! A great guy on top of everything too!

One of the most creative, talented, and utterly outstanding photographers in Tokyo. You won’t struggle to find the perfect angle or wonder what you should do next, everything will just FLOW. And your photos will look sublime. Whatever you want to achieve, you can with Cristian. In a relaxed, laid back but yet vibrant and exciting atmosphere you may proceed to create images to hang above the mantlepiece and show to your grandchildren someday.
