We are so happy that we chose Kouki and his team for our wedding day! They made wedding planning from distance so easy and less stressful. They answered all the questions that came up and were reachable if we needed some advice. The wedding day was very well organized and we just had to enjoy it! We are so satisfied with media files: pictures and video are stunning! This was the reason we chose Kouki as well and we didn´t have to regret it :)
Thank you for everything and we hope that someday we can visit New Zealand again and maybe to celebrate our anniversary with new awesome photoshoot with you!
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, created and 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. This also made people who don’t naturally feel comfortable in front of the camera feel at ease and look great. He also worked really well with our videographers, coordinating shots and sharing ideas on how to make the bride look more beautiful. Going through the photos a few months later, we are instantly brought back to each of magical moments Kouki captured, and I’m sure that’ll be the case for years to come. Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.
To Kouki & team
Only been three days since our wedding day and already have sneak peaks! Wow!
You have delivered in the best way possible.
- You had the moves to make the all the aunties and uncles (& more) giggle.
- You fit in just as if you were one of our own guests with your easy going personality and your vibrant indian outfits.
- You took out time to understand all our events including the hindu rituals (and even told us more about how it'll go than what our parents told us).
- You've had so much energy and passion for your work even after back to back events and late nights.
Simply put, your team has made our dream wedding look magical through those lens.
100% recommend
Kouki! I knew Kouki was my wedding photographer before I even got engaged! Kouki has been so easy to work with! We've rescheduled our wedding twice and his great communication put me at ease. On the day of our wedding, Kouki brought so much energy and good vibes! We wouldn't recommend anyone better capture your wedding. This guy is so chilled, funny, efficient and and not to mention,... a genius behind the lens! You the best Kouki!
Kouki Photo & Video was one of the first vendors we booked when we got engaged, and we are so glad we booked him and his team. 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!!!! Thank you KOUKI TEAM :)
Ah, where to I even begin? If you haven't seen Michael's work already then I highly suggest you do. You will be mesmerised by the beauty and elegance of his work. He really knows how to capture a moment.
We had the privilege of having Micheal and his team as our wedding photographers/videographers. They were all so professional, polite, hard-working and accomodating to the needs of us and our guests. They were there every step of the way on the wedding day. From us getting ready to the wedding ceremony then reception and up until the end of the night. Micheal, as the lead, guided us every step of the way and even helped us throughout our wedding planning process. His experience and talent is unmatched.
We were lucky enough to also have Micheal take some pre-wedding photos for us and they are just beyond amazing.
We are very grateful of Micheal and his team for being a part of and capturing our special day.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! NO HESITATION.
We simply cannot thank Michael and his team enough for our wedding videography and photography. You can imagine wedding planning alone is already stressful. However, from our first meeting, Michael made it a fun process and experience. Especially since it was our first time having professional photography done. We really appreciated the constant communication despite the time differences. Overall, the outcome was beyond what we had imagined. The team knew what needed to be done to get the best shots. Thank you for making it a memorable one.
Had my pre n wedding shoot with Michael! Loving the experience! Even for our tea ceremony, He’s fun n high-energy! very easy to talk to and gave us a full rundown on newbies like us! He will make you laugh naturally! Highly recommended! We got the full package comes with the champagne for photos and loving the photos 👍🏻
Michael is the best at what he does!!! I couldn’t recommend enough for photography and videography for any special occasion. My partner and I had stunning pictures taken of us for an engagement shoot and they came out incredible to say the least. Not only is Michael talented he is also extremely professional, friendly and considerate of your vision. Thank you again 💖
The best wedding photographer you can have for your most special day in a lifetime!
We discovered Kouki weddings on Instagram just casually browsing, we found later that he had done my friend's pre-wedding shoot (amazing)! After a few back-and-forth messaging, we decided that 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/how are you on a daily basis, he would really make an effort and try to get to know us. Thank you so much Michael Kouki who helped to seize our incredible day with friends and family through your lenses. The photos were absolutely stunning, moments of our love and laughter were captured that would be framed for a lifetime!
Such a pleasure to work with. I was nervous about being in front of the camera but Micheal made it so much fun. He had both of us always laughing and smiling and made the whole process such a breeze. I can’t recommend him enough!! The photos tuned out beautifully as well.
The best! Michael made us feel comfortable and was professional in terms of communication, during the time we booked with him, he was consistent and prompt.
Michael was part of the family!
Kouki and the team were amazing they fit into the day like family and made everyone around them so comfortable aswell bringing their own light and laughs in their own way. The photos are simply stunning everything they captured through their lens has a great story for the day and my husband and I could not be any happier. Thank you so much Team we love and appreciate all your hard work.

We are so happy to have had Michael shoot our wedding day. Choosing the right photographer was our priority, as after the day all you have left are the photos & memories, and we are so privileged to have had the perfect photographer!
Not a day goes by that we don't look at our absolutely stunning wedding photos from 8 months ago, we STILL look at them in awe and everyone who has seen them were so impressed!
From the first meeting we were put at ease, we were listened to and guided on what we wanted for our big day. On the day, Michael put everyone at ease with his humour and great personality, making us comfortable in front of the camera, and he was super respectful of cultural requirements.
We can't recommend Michael and his team enough. The memories created in his beautiful photos are simply priceless!
Thank you Michael!
