Five star rating for Jayson! Travelled to Japan for leisure and decided to look around for photographers for a shoot. Came across Jayson's photos online and really loved the style of them. Engaged Jayson for a really interesting shoot and he went above and beyond to make it happen. Super easy to work with and without a doubt would recommend him to everyone!

Our engagement photoshoot with Jayson at Mt Fuji was nothing short of amazing. Starting early in the morning, Jayson picked us up from our hotel to begin the shoot. Not only was he kind and friendly throughout the session, but he also provided very clear guidance on how to best pose for any given shot... The results came out better than what we could've ever hoped for.

"We had the pleasure of having Jayson capture our engagement photos at Mt. Fuji, and we couldn't be more grateful for his professionalism and dedication. Although our scheduled day turned out to be rainy, Jayson went above and beyond by adjusting his schedule and coming a day earlier on very short notice to ensure we still got the perfect shots. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—beautifully composed with Mt. Fuji in the backdrop, perfectly capturing the love and joy of the moment."

"Jayson has made my proposal experience very smooth and perfect. Despite some delays in the schedule due to the proposal doubling as family trip, he was still very accommodating and still helped in taking both couple and family photos. The final photos are also nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend him if you are planning to have that beautiful proposal moment with your partner!"

"Jayson Clyde was truly a gem during one of the most memorable moments of my life—my proposal to my then-girlfriend in Hakone, Japan, with the stunning Mt. Fuji as our backdrop. From start to finish, Jayson went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Despite his busy schedule in Japan, he was incredibly accommodating and patient, helping me scout for the ideal location near Mt. Fuji."

"Jayson has made this whole experience an absolute pleasure. Having to propose was nervous enough and having Jayson to support only made it so much easier. He was very accommodating and supportive. My fiance and I were over the moon with the photos and experience. I would 100% recommend going with him."

"I was nervous about booking a photographer online (that I've never met) but Jayson was truly amazing. He was super knowledgeable about the area around Fuji and helped me plan the perfect proposal. He also saved me the morning of the proposal when I couldn't find a car to take me to the proposal spot. You will not regret working with him!"

"Jayson is an amazing photographer and new found friend. His vision and ability to capture the essence of the moment made our special occasion that much more meaningful. He gave clear instructions on where to meet up, and on the day itself for posing. Will recommend to any other friends looking to travel to Japan for a shoot."

"Jason was absolutely amazing, he was great with good and clear communication – he helped offer suggestions for locations and insight of each area I was considering. He went above and beyond by staking out the area before the proposal and messaging me alternative locations he spotted in the area when Mt. Fuji went behind the clouds which resulted in a gorgeous pink cherry blossom background to our big moment. Could not recommend more!"

"Jayson is an amazing photographer. I had some pretty unrealistic expectations for what I wanted, but he still tried his best to make my expectations a reality. Additionally, he took his time throughout the process and was extremely accommodating to all our wants and needs. Between the two photoshoots he even brought us somewhere to eat and lent me cash, because I wasn't carrying any! I would definitely recommend Jayson to anyone."

"My fiancée and I booked to get photos of Mt. Fuji together and they came out great. It was a great way to memorialize a wonderful trip. We also ended up needing a little extra editing done to some photos and was able to get that delivered without a frustrating process."

"Jason is a hero! There was a storm on the day of the engagement, which made us arrive quite late. Jason waited for us without rushing us, he even scouted for the best spot and took tons of photos with the time we had left, and they were spectacular. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Jason; you made our special day even more memorable."

"Highly recommend Jayson! I found him through a mommy group while looking for a Pinoy photographer in Japan. He's easy to connect with, has friendly rates, and delivers quality photos. Despite the challenges of shooting with a toddler and multiple rebookings due to weather, he was very patient and flexible. We booked him again for my baby's birthday and plan to do a family travel shoot too. Bonus—ang galing niya mag-Nihonggo!"

"We had the pleasure of having Sir Jayson capture our family photos in Tokyo, specifically in Shibuya and Ueno Park. He was incredibly accommodating, and we instantly felt at ease since he's also a fellow Filipino. In between shots, we shared stories of life in Japan and the Philippines, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The photos came out so naturally captured, and we absolutely love them!"

Kudos to you!"

"We recently had the pleasure of working with Sir Jayson Clyde/Jcg Satsuei Group and couldn't be more impressed with his service. From the very beginning, he was incredibly accommodating, ensuring that all our needs and preferences were met. We had an online meeting to discuss in details our dream pre-wedding photos and video. He listened very well to our suggestions and applied those beautifully in the output. Our visions came to life, thanks to him! Outstanding service and commitment to excellence!!! Kudos and more clients to come, Sir Jayson Clyde."
