“Every day, I feel grateful to do what I love — photographing life’s special moments.”
Hi, I’m Katsu, a Sydney-based wedding photographer and the founder of a small, passionate team of wedding photographers and videographers based in Surry Hills.
With over 25 years of experience in Sydney’s wedding industry, we specialise in natural, candid photography that beautifully captures the genuine moments
and emotions of your wedding day. Many couples tell us it feels like having close friends — or even Japanese ninja-style photographers — quietly appearing at exactly the right moment to capture every unforgettable memory.
My photography journey began in the 1990s with a classic Canon film camera, long before the digital era.
After moving from Kyoto to Sydney in 1996, I launched my first photography studio, Sydney Creative Photography,
our sister brand specialising in corporate event photography and videography across metropolitan Sydney.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing hundreds of weddings across Sydney, and even after more than two decades,
my passion for photography is as strong as ever. It has never felt like a job — it’s simply a huge part of who I am.
I’m incredibly grateful to spend each day preserving one of the happiest moments in people’s lives, and I never take for granted the trust my couples place in me
to tell the story of their wedding day.
From our very first conversation to the moment we deliver your photographs and films, our goal is to make the entire experience relaxed, enjoyable, and completely stress-free. We hope you enjoy exploring our work, and once you've set your wedding date, we'd love to hear from you.
ARIGATOOO!

Hi there! As you’ve probably guessed, I’m Japanese — originally from Kyoto. If you’ve ever been to Kyoto, you’ve probably visited the Golden Temple (Kinkaku-ji). Believe it or not, that was basically my childhood playground. Not a bad backyard, right?
I moved to Sydney in 1996, thinking I’d stay for maybe a year… and somehow I’m still here more than 25 years later, photographing weddings and loving every minute of it.
I started my photography journey in the mid-’90s, back when we all used film cameras. To this day, I have no idea how we photographed whole weddings without being able to check the tiny screen on the back — because there was no tiny screen on the back. You’d shoot all day, drop off the rolls at the lab, and then spend the next 24 hours hoping you didn’t accidentally focus on a tree instead of the couple. Truly character-building stuff.
Since then, I’ve survived three generations of camera technology — film, digital, and now mirrorless. And honestly, I’m glad I started with film. People say it makes you a better photographer… or maybe it just gave me nerves of steel. Either way, I’ll take it!
I’ve gotta say — I truly love my job. I still feel incredibly lucky that my passion became my career. There’s nothing better than seeing people light up when they receive their wedding photos. Even after 25+ years in the industry, weddings are still my absolute favourite moments to capture.
These days, I work with a small but amazing team of wedding photographers and videographers. They’re not just talented — they’re genuinely good humans. They feel more like family than colleagues, and I’m grateful for each of them. They don’t work for me; we work with each other, side by side. That’s always been my approach.
And yes… we giggle a lot on the job. A lot. Maybe that’s why the photos turn out so natural — we’re having just as much fun as you are!
Once your wedding date is set, please say hello to Katsu!
