Your love story. First chapter. Before "I do."

" The best wedding photographer you can have for your most special day in a lifetime! We discovered Kouki on Instagram just casually browsing — we found later he had done my friend's pre-wedding shoot (amazing!). After a few back-and-forth messages, we decided Kouki was perfect for our wedding! Of course we had looked at other photographers too, but we didn't feel as connected with them. Kouki really spent time to chat with us, even just a normal hello on a daily basis. Thank you so much Michael — the photos were absolutely stunning, moments of love and laughter framed for a lifetime. "

" Mike was amazing! We met with other photographers, but we hit it off with Mike straight away. He was excellent and willing to help with things like other suppliers, run sheets, venue items, etc. if needed. On the day we felt so comfortable and our family and friends loved him too! We were so lucky to have him as our photographer — would highly recommend. His photos were stunning, and the turnaround time was incredible. "

Tim & Casey

" Kouki Photo & Video was one of the first vendors we booked when we got engaged, and we are so glad we did. From our first meeting with Michael, we kicked it off and shared the same high energy that carried throughout the planning process, engagement shoot, tea ceremony, and our wedding day. He is professional, funny, and easy-going. His team made the day seamless — sometimes we forgot they were around — and captured special moments we will cherish forever. Highly recommended! "

Vaughn & Sandy

" We are so happy that we chose Kouki and his team for our wedding day! They made wedding planning from a distance so easy and less stressful. They answered all the questions that came up and were reachable if we needed advice. The wedding day was very well organised and we just had to enjoy it. We are so satisfied — pictures and video are stunning. We hope someday we can visit New Zealand again and celebrate our anniversary with another awesome photoshoot with you. "

Sander & Kerttu

" Not all photographers are the same and you definitely can't go wrong with this legend. The man not only knows how to capture the perfect shot, he is also a top professional. He spent lots of time getting to know us way before the wedding, took the effort to really understand what we wanted, and as a result captured some amazing moments during the actual wedding day. Standing around setting up for a photo can be super dull and frustrating — Kouki made that process super fun and cheerful with his little dances and jokes. Going through the photos a few months later, we are instantly brought back to each magical moment. "
