I HAVE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS THE PHOTOGRAPHER/VIDEOGRAPHER WE CHOSE TO CAPTURE ALL THE BEAUTIFUL AND MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF OUR LIVES! Right from the beginning when we had our catch up, to the engagement shoot, right up till the wedding, Michael and his team gave us assurance, made us feel important as customers, but especially made us feel so comfortable we trusted him and his work and had no doubt throughout the whole time. What also made it easier for us was his communication skills. There was NEVER a time where he would leave us out in the cold and ALWAYS made sure we were ok through the whole experience. We are so overwhelmed with the photos and videos that we received and are so glad we chose Kouki Photography for our special day! Michael, you have not just created loyal customers who are definitely going to tell everyone about your talented photos/videos, but you have also gained family. Thank you for helping us make it so stress free and for making us feel valued and special from the time we started conversating. You and your team are the best at what yous do and Ifi and I will forever be grateful! Thank you once again Kouki Photography NZ. God bless.

Wow, thank you Michael for capturing our special day. Michael was so professional and easygoing, we felt at ease in front of his camera and our elopement could not have been any more perfect. Highly recommend his services for an elopement package, it was simple, stress-free and fun for this easy-going low key couple

Thank you Michael for being the hero photographer we never knew we needed! Michael was instrumental in making our day as memorable as it was. He has a very personable communication style and for anyone who is camera-shy, Michael has a way of capturing the genuine moments that unfold but also gives soft direction to create images that appear beautifully natural. Leading up to our wedding, Michael was always approachable, prompt in his responses and made the time to understand our thinking and answer any questions. He does his research and you cannot go wrong with having him capture your special moments. Would love to work with Michael again; if I could give him a 10/5 I would.

On Friday 7th February 2020 my husband & I got married & had the privilege of having Kouki Photography be our main photographer & videographer for our day. We cannot thank them enough for all that they did for us. They went above and beyond to make sure they captured everything for us. Thank you immensely to Michael Kouk, a very good friend of mine & former colleague. Your team handled & put up with all my vain guests & bridal party with so much patience & expertise! Even during the reception when we had the issue w the reception venue elevators, you guys stayed the entire night, well after the appointed time & made sure you were able to get as much footage as possible. I cannot thank you guys enough for that. And then seeing the quality of photos and videos we’ve received since our day, seriously - I cannot recommend you enough! The quantity AND quality is like no other 💯 THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Wishing you all the best w your upcoming services fam! No doubt whoever will come into contact w you guys will have nothing but good things to say also 😀

I got Michael to photograph my sister's wedding, he did such a good job that I got him to photograph my own wedding the following year! Michael and his team does well with capturing the "standard" types of shots but also the more special, funny and heartfelt moments that can be so easily missed, it's these photos that are my family's favourites

Really delayed with my post but my wedding was on the 5th of October. Michael and his team were so professional but fun at the same time. Asked his team to start at 11 am till 9 pm but they started 10:30 and still finished at 9 pm which I was really pleased about! Was truly grateful for all the effort they put into making mine and Jerry’s day so beautiful! Even though we’d be so awkward with some of the shots we were told to do lol they made us feel so comfortable. Not only was his team so good to work with but the price as well! For being a person that’s camera shy I’d highly recommend Kouki Photography they made me feel as if the camera was my best friend haha. Thank you, Michael, Shelton, Beren and Grace for making our day a memorable one! Appreciate the work that you did with our album as well as our cinematic highlights, we’ll definitely be in touch!

Highly recommend Kouki and his team!! Our Tongan wedding was very traditional and he was able to capture every special moment. He's very professional throughout, providing amazing service from the moment you enquire right through to delivering the final products of his photos, and they are AMAZING!!! 💖 he is well experienced in Tongan weddings and when the bridal party goes for their photos, he makes the process fun and easy for us. Especially since I get camera shy sometimes. I would recommend to anyone and everyone and I'd definitely use his services again! Thank you, Kouki and team 😊 from a very happy client!

During prep days of our wedding; it was hard to find a photographer / videographer to work with that was within our budget yet provide professional service/product. Kouki Team were nice enough to work with us to our estimated plans and our fixed budget allowing for the main parts of the wedding. Come the actual wedding day we ran to the initial quote then took the rest of the day as it came. Kouki Team were patient with us as we kept extending our time to suit our semi delayed reception program hehe. Our wedding photos and video are precious to us and especially because they have turned out so beautiful. All in all, we highly recommend Kouki Team’s professional services and no doubt won't be using anyone else now!

This review is long overdue! We used Mike as our photographer/videographer. We contacted Mike last minute due to my wife and I still living in Melbourne! Although last-minute Mike was able to fit us in as well as made time to meet with us straight away and discuss exactly what “WE WANTED”. On our special day, Mike and his team made both parties feel relaxed and comfortable and as a result, captured amazing images. We strongly recommend Kouki Photography NZ if you are looking for someone who will capture professional and beautiful “in the moment” pictures! Thanks again Mike

Bridget & Sione

My husband and I got married on Dec 2nd 2017 and we had the pleasure of having the Kouki team capture our special day. From the get-go it was a warm and friendly welcoming by Mike followed by meeting the lovely team. They really made our day come to life and the lead up to it was even more perfect. We were always kept up to date with everything and made sure that there was no delay in communication. Even meeting Mike on our first meeting felt so good and assuring and the trust was there from the start. The end product though was a real reflection of the teams hard work, talent and professionalism. They really made my husband and I and our bridal party feel so comfortable in front of the camera and made sure to capture every special moment on the day. It was so easy to communicate with the team and we never felt like we were asking stupid questions and they would never make us feel like what we were asking for was unrealistic. The quality of their work and price package is so amazing and affordable. I definitely recommend these guys and would for sure have them at my next function ��� Thank you Kouki team for really making my husband and I so happy with the end result!!

1,000% worth every penny. Had so much fun, many laughs and enjoyed having them become part of the event. Super easy going and relaxed time when posing for all the photos, as the directions they give are just simple and straight forward, nothing overly complicate. Would abso-freaking-lutely use again for any kind of big event or special occasion. Still in awe at how amazing these photos are. So many many thank yous!!

We could not be more thrilled with the amazing wedding photographs that Michael produced. He managed to capture all the right moments and emotions, all in the right angles and lighting. And throughout the whole process, he also positioned himself such that he was discrete. Truly a professional photographer who knows how to capture the essence of the moment beautifully. Highly recommended!!

The team at Kouki photography played a big part of our wedding day. Very professional to work with, friendly, approachable, organised and great with their communication. The photos were better than what we would have dreamt of, they managed to capture every tear of joy and all the love among our family and friends. To top it off.. the team at Kouki photography managed to achieve this for a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend to anyone. Get in touch and do not hesitate!

Michael took photos of my church wedding in late Jan, he was punctual, friendly, understanding of the pressures of the day and captured everything we wanted to express in our wedding photos and more! Relatives and guests were happy, he knew what he was going, respectful, no dramas, and prompt turn-around. Would recommend!
