Gold Coast Wedding & Couples Photographer

Hi, my name is Yuka.
I’m a storyteller and photographer from Japan, now soaking up the beauty of Australia.

I’ve been living on the Gold Coast for 9 years and I love chasing sunrises and sunsets, always searching for that magic shot. I’ve always had my camera in hand, whether I’m on a beach walk, grabbing coffee, or celebrating with friends. Photography quickly became more than just a hobby; it turned into my passion and my profession. And honestly, it’s the best thing that has ever happened to me. I absolutely love it.

Capturing the Moment.
I love looking back through childhood albums, they bring back so many memories. But when I lost my dad at 19, I realised how precious photos truly are. I searched for pictures of him in our family albums, but there weren’t many. He was always the one behind the lens, capturing everyone else.

That experience shaped my philosophy as a photographer. I know how important it is to have those memories preserved, and I want to give that gift to others.

Why Wedding Photography?
Your wedding day is an emotional rollercoaster. excitement, nerves, intensity, laughter, tears, and love.


I love the chaos, the emotions, and the beauty of it all. I would be honoured to capture every precious moment, every culture, and every unique detail of your love story.


Why A Brief Letter?
Every couple has their own love story, 2 years, 5 years, 10 years together. With ups and downs, laughter and tears, your relationship is filled with love.

On your wedding day, the happiest day of your life, you’ll be surrounded by your closest friends and family. The day goes by so quickly, but I will capture every beautiful moment and deliver it to you as “a brief letter”, a timeless keepsake of your love story.
