FAQ

Think natural, relaxed, and timeless – what some call 'Wedding Documentary Style' or 'Modern Wedding Photojournalism.'

Scroll through my portfolio, and you'll see it's not just about the pictures but about telling your story in the most authentic way possible.
So, if being in front of the camera feels a bit daunting or you just want your wedding photos to radiate warmth and spontaneity,
I've got you covered.

I'm all about capturing those genuine, candid moments that make your wedding uniquely yours!

Let's chat and make sure your big day is not only beautifully documented but also a whole lot of fun!!

Absolutely! We offer both wedding photography and wedding videography!

Did you know...?

Your wedding videographers and photographers must work together seamlessly on your big day?
That's why we offer both wedding videography and photography services.

What sets us apart? Unlike many other photography studios in Sydney, we don't outsource videographers.
In fact, we've been collaborating with the same professional videographer, Sunny, and his team for the last 15 years.
This consistency is a key factor in why our services are highly praised by all our happy couples!

Our wedding videography style mirrors our natural wedding photography approach. This harmony ensures that we work together seamlessly on your wedding day. Check out our wedding video work on our website!

We believe that capturing your special moments should be a unified, stress-free experience.
Let's make your wedding day memories extraordinary together!

You can find all our pricing details for both photography and videography on our 'PACKAGES' page on the website but here is some info.

All our packages are carefully crafted to be straightforward and inclusive of everything you desire,
so you'll know exactly what you're spending with no hidden costs or surprises.

For wedding photography services, we offer only two packages:

Data Only Packages

If you just want your wedding photos without any extras, this is the option for you.
As the name suggests, you'll receive your high-resolution photos in JPEG format, beautifully edited.

Complete Packages

Similar to the Data Only Package, you'll receive your high-resolution images in JPEG format, expertly edited.
Additionally, you'll get a flush-mounted leather cover wedding album (12 x 12 inches - 20 pages) and an online wedding photo gallery.
This way, you can easily share your photos with loved ones through a single link and password.

Can't decide on the best package for you?

No worries! You only need to select your favorite package two weeks before your wedding day.
However, please secure us early when you set your wedding date, as we typically get booked 1-2 years in advance!




Your wedding photos will be ready within 4 weeks from your wedding day.
Once they are beautifully edited, we will send you a download link via email.
It's as easy as a click, letting you grab all those beautiful memories whenever you want, right from the coziness of your home.

For your wedding videos, please allow us 12 weeks for completion.

Absolutely no need to worry at all!

We completely understand that 99% of our couples may feel camera shy or have never been professionally photographed before.

Our friendly team and I will be there to guide you throughout the day, directing you on where to stand, how to pose, and where to look.

Our goal is for you to have a lot of fun on your big day so that we can capture those natural and candid moments
while you're simply enjoying the moment, without even noticing!

Typically, Katsu photographs all weddings solo unless the event is on a larger scale.
We offer a second photographer as an additional option to ensure comprehensive coverage if you prefer. When it comes to wedding videos, we always have a team of two videographers.
In our wedding videography packages, you will receive a complimentary second videographer from the ceremony to the first dance,
ensuring that we capture every single moment on your wedding day.

Your photographer will be Katsu unless he is already booked for another job.
You will find out when you first message us!

Absolutely!

We have been part of Sydney's wedding industry for over 20 years, and as you may know, Sydney's wedding industry is relatively small.

When you book with us, we'll provide you with a list of our favorite wedding suppliers whom we have worked with in the past. Marriage Celebrants, Florists, DJs, Makeup artists and more.

We do this for all our couples because we genuinely want you to secure fantastic wedding suppliers for your special day.
Working with trusted suppliers that we know ensures that your wedding day runs seamlessly.

It's a win-win situation for both you and us!"

We are huge fans of the Grand Pacific Group, which has Sydney's top wedding venues such as Gunners Barracks, Sergeants Mess,
and The Tea Room QVB!

These venues are definitely our top 3 wedding venues that we love, and we have photographed at them a lot in Sydney!


We are also regulars at Taronga Centre, Pier One Harbour Hotel, InterContinental Hotel and The Grounds of Alexandria.

It would be amazing if you could send us the run sheet and a list of our bridal party's names,
as well as the other wedding suppliers you have booked for your special day.
This way, we will know what's happening and who we are working with.
Most likely, your wedding suppliers that you have booked are our friends!

Typically, we kindly request our couples to give our photographer a lift from the starting point to the ceremony,
the location photoshoots, and the reception venue.
(Katsu possibly using his scooter to follow you around. )

If you book both photo and video, we will use one of our cars to travel around.


Ideally, we would like to have:

Groom getting ready: 1 hour

Bride getting ready: 1.5 hours*

Ceremony: 20-30 minutes

Group Photos and family photos right after the ceremony: 20-30 minutes

Location photos: 1 - 2 hours

If you are getting ready together in the same room, we would like to have 2 hours to photograph both of you.

*When we arrive at the bride's place or hotel room for getting ready photos,
we would like all your hair and makeup to be fully completed.
This  means that the time we arrive at bride's room is when your HMUA should leave. It's a switch over.

You can find some of our reviews on our Easy Weddings page.

Katsu is the best! We were lucky enough to book Katsu for our wedding in October 2023 and from the beginning, we knew he was the right choice. He is very responsive, lots of fun to hang out with, super professional, and a total ninja behind the camera. He made everything so easy and relaxed on the day, and took so many amazing/sweet/funny/special shots. He really puts his heart and soul into his work and it shows. All our friends and family were blown away by the results. I can't recommend Katsu highly enough.

We got married last year, and Katsu proved to be one of my favourite people that we worked with. We chose to go big and had him for 12 hours in his Complete Package. Katsu kindly allowed us to split our 12 hours over our four wedding events, so we had the pleasure of working with him on multiple occasions. Katsu is an amazing communicator. He always replies promptly, thoroughly and cheerfully. He also generously arranged an in person consultation before we booked, where he explained his processes and showed us sample albums. It was a great opportunity to meet him before the big day. He was open, friendly and knowledgeable. On each event, Katsu was relaxed and organised. His optimism and humour put everyone at ease and his help with posing was invaluable. Katsu managed to be invisible when capturing candids, but also efficiently and effectively rallied people for group photos. His professionalism was even more apparent in his dealings with our external videographers. He worked very well with and around them. We appreciated his bright demeanour and calmness at each event. Thank you for your patience, Katsu! Katsu was also very quick to return our photos- he delivered over 1500 photos in under a month. The photos were all beautifully composed and edited. All of the important moments were captured in posed and candid photos. We loved how natural all of the photos looked. We were very lucky to have Katsu at our wedding and would book him again in a heartbeat. Thank you very much, Katsu!

I cannot recommend Katsu enough, he is an absolute star. I hate getting my photo taken (a hangover from childhood) and he made me feel so comfortable I hardly noticed there was a camera which helped me relax and enjoy the day. We did a pre-wedding shoot which really helped me feel at ease and Katsu was incredibly flexible with timing on our big day which we are forever grateful for. He also managed to get a selection of photos to us really quickly so we could share them with relatives overseas we saw shortly after the wedding who couldn't make it over for the ceremony. Our wedding photos are fantastic and we are having a hard time choosing which ones to get printed and framed to put up, we keep changing our mind as there are so many amazing shots to choose from.
