Process

How booking with Kouki works.

01

Tell us about you.

Fill out the form in our contact us page — your date, venue, vision, and what coverage you're after.

02

Meet up — coffee, beer, or Zoom.

In-person at a great Auckland bar or café, or via Zoom — whichever suits. We'll talk through your day, your style, and make sure we're a great fit.

03

Lock the date.

30% non-refundable deposit, contract signed, you're in our calendar. Balance due 4 weeks before the wedding.

04

Two months out — let's catch up.

Around 8 weeks before the wedding, we'll meet again to go over your timeline, finalise locations, and lock in all the details so the day runs smoothly.

05

Live it. We'll capture it.

From morning prep to last dance — we move with you, capturing every candid moment along the way. Your full gallery will be ready 5–6 weeks after your wedding day.

Testimonials

Words from our couples.

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.

Cland & Ray

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.

FAQ

The questions every couple asks us.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes — fully insured through Tower Insurance. If your venue needs proof of insurance, just let us know and we'll provide it.

How many photos do you include?

No fixed number — we provide an approximate guide. The final count depends on locations, guest numbers, length of coverage, and lighting conditions.

How much is the deposit and when is the balance due?

30% non-refundable deposit on signing the contract. Balance due 4 weeks before your wedding date.

Can we meet in person before booking?

Absolutely — face-to-face is great for making sure we're a fit. We love meeting at Auckland bars and cafés over coffee or a beer. Zoom, phone, or email also work great if that suits better.

Can you hold a date while we decide?

Unfortunately not — wedding dates often book 15–18 months in advance. The only way to lock in a date is to pay the deposit and sign the contract.

Do you travel?

Heck yeah — we love it. Auckland-wide, all of New Zealand, and destination weddings welcome. Get in touch and let's chat.

We're not comfortable in front of the camera. Can you help?

80% of our couples aren't comfortable at first. We'll direct you, joke around, and bring out genuine moments. We highly recommend a pre-wedding shoot to help you feel ready for the big day.

Will you visit our venue if you haven't been there?

We love arriving without preconceptions — every wedding is unique and the best moments come from real, unplanned light. That said, if a site visit would make you more comfortable, we're happy to do one.

How long until we see our photos?

Sneak preview: a few edited photos within 3–5 days. Full gallery: around 6 weeks after your wedding (longer in peak season Oct–April, faster in winter).

In what format do we receive the images?

A beautiful, user-friendly online gallery — view, download in high resolution, and share with family and friends.

Can we add a second shooter to our package?

Absolutely — a second shooter is a great way to be in two places at once and capture more angles of the same moment. It's a wise investment for any wedding day.

Do you offer wedding albums?

Yes — elegant, handmade Queensberry albums. Happy to show you the catalogue when we catch up.

What if we need to postpone?

Reach out as soon as possible and we'll book you in for another available date within 12 months. Note: deposits are non-refundable on cancellation or postponement for personal reasons.
