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.

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!

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!

The best in the business… Great natural ability to not force any reactions and give an authentic feel to being present in the moment. Kouki and his amazing team helped capture our very special wedding day in spectacular fashion. Would definitely highly recommend his services to anyone that wants to capture what only a thousand words or more could describe in his pictures. Epic shots and authentic experiences are guaranteed. Thanks again Kouki & team for the incredible services.

My praises for Michael is beyond my words. He made our wedding day seamless, stress-free and most importantly very special. Michael planned everything for us, and he was very professional and communicative. All we had to do was pick a location and show up. The day of our wedding felt so relaxed and Michael is such a vibe - funny, calm and on to it.

And the photos! Oh the photos are breathtaking! He really captured the day and showed real talent at taking them. His shots really tell a story. I wouldn't have done our wedding any other way. We're so glad to have chosen Michael to capture our wedding (he's always been our top choice anyway!). I have already recommended him to my friends and family. 💕 Thank you sooo much, Michael!

The reviews are not deceiving - Michael Kouk is honestly THE BEST wedding photographer anyone could ask for! When we met Kouki for the first time, it was really like meeting up with an old friend - the conversation flowed, he came prepared to show us his work, we laughed non-stop, and best of all, Kouki kept it real! He can literally get along with anyone! We instantly knew that he was the one to capture our wedding. Kouki worked with us to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was professional along the way. He helped us plan and gave us advice throughout our whole wedding process. Our guests LOVED Michael and his team so much! Everyone felt comfortable in their presence, and they really fitted into our wedding so well.

Kouki's work is exceptional! He has so much knowledge and advice to share about weddings (Indian weddings in particular). His images are high quality and not a single moment is missed. His IG photos are proof of the standard of photography you are getting when you book him. We would recommend Kouki to anyone looking for an AMAZING wedding photographer to capture their special day. You will not regret it! Thank you, Kouki! :)

Kouki Weddings was such a privilege to have at our wedding. From our first meeting with Michael, we could see that he was a very organised, hard-working, talented and charismatic person. We are both quite shy and reserved people so wanted a photographer who would take charge and initiative without us having to worry about it on the day. Michael definitely did not disappoint. He and Lucy made us feel so comfortable and relaxed thought out the day. Our guests loved them both, and we got lots of comments about how energetic and enthusiastic (and funny!) our photographer was. Their passion shone through. We got our wedding photos just over 2 weeks after our wedding, which was also an incredible surprise. Looking through them tells a beautiful story of our day - from the small to big moments. We would highly recommend Kouki Photography to our friends and other couples.
