About
Hello there! I am Katsu. I am the owner photographer of Sydney Wedding Photography by Katsu. My journey in wedding photography began when I made the move from Kyoto to Sydney in 1996, armed with my film cameras. Fast forward to today, and I'm still capturing beautiful moments and absolutely loving it! I often remind myself how incredibly lucky and grateful I am to have chosen the path of a wedding photographer! Please message me today, and let's have a friendly chat about your upcoming wedding!

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.
However, if you'd like to see more, please visit our Google Maps page under 'Sydney Wedding Photography by Katsu,'
where you'll find over 170 reviews, all of them five stars! YAY to us!
