I think you have some local US photographers where you are at on this website, dependents maybe?

I'm sure they will chime in.

Duval,

Have you checked the PHOTOGRAPHERS on the site.

I am sure if you contact them by private message, you can get some quotes.

Have you tried the guys standing at the front of the nex Yokosuka that offers portraits and stuff.

I highly recommend Amanda Dumouchelle:

She lives in the U.S., but will be making a special trip out here in May for picture taking.

She does a beautiful job capturing that special moment. If your husband is here that week, I recommend this photographer.

I second the recommendation for Amanda. She has done my family several times and also my sister's wedding. She does incredible work.

yes,eveytime i se them my husband is on duty or too tired to go someplace.we live off base so we rarely go nex unless really need to..theres another vendor there now.they rarely come

o really wow sounds wonderful,but unfortunately i belive hes going to be out to sea at that time for a short period

If he is here right now, Clarissa DeMauro does an AMAZING job. She lives in Ikego. We have used her 3 times and recommended her to several people (all have used her and loved her as well). March is her last month here however, so you have to book it ASAP with her... hopefully March works for you because she's worth it! She charges $200 and you get a CD of all images (she edits them too). She has a facebook.  There's a link on her facebook to her website as well, and you can see some of her work.  Just search for "MD Photography". 

Here is the link to her actual website:

Not sure if I posted the link correctly so that you can click on it, but, there's the address to her page.
