❤️ You don’t have to fit the mould to deserve stunning wedding photos.
Not a fan of attention?
Wearing black? Planning a Bridgerton-style vow renewal? Pagan handfasting in the forest?
No guests, just you two and the city?
You’re exactly who I love to work with.
📸 This is for couples who:
Hate being in front of a camera (hi, same)
Are introverted, shy, or non-traditional
Just want to enjoy the day without turning it into a production
Want photos that feel honest, not staged
Might be older, second-time, or simply not 25 and Pinterest-y (again, hi, same)
💌 Current Offer:
Discounted Wedding & Elopement Photography – Limited Availability
I’m currently offering a special rate for intimate weddings, vow renewals, registry ceremonies, or “we just want to dress up and take photos because we love each other” shoots.
This includes:
Documentary-style coverage (I shoot quietly and constantly — no awkward posing)
Coverage tailored to your day (from 1 hour to full-day)
Travel included for bookings over 5 hours (Blue Mountains, Newcastle, South Coast)
No pressure to call or Zoom — just email me at nao@sydneysakurastudio.com.au and let’s talk like humans
🗓️ What’s this for?
Registry weddings
Second marriages or vow renewals
Pagan, goth, Bridgerton-style, kimono shoots
Elopements with just the two of you
“Let’s dress up and do this our way” sessions
Even Martin Place can feel magical when it’s about you two being fully yourselves.
🧠 How many photos will you get?
I don’t put a number on it — because every shoot is different.
But here’s what I can promise:
You’ll get the ones that matter.
No duplicates. No fluff.
Just the real, tear-jerking, joy-soaked moments you’ll actually want to remember.
🇯🇵 Japanese-speaking, bilingual, and kimono-organising photographer at your service
If you or your family are more comfortable in Japanese — I’m fluent.
Want to rent a kimono for your shoot? I can help with that too.
🎯 Ready?
You don’t need to be loud to be unforgettable.
You don’t need 300 guests to deserve a beautiful record.
And you don’t need to look like a bridal magazine to have photos that stop time.

🌸 About Me
I’m Nao — a Sydney-based photographer, lifelong creative, and fellow introvert.
I’ve been taking photos for over 30 years — first as a quiet hobby, now as a full-hearted way to hold onto the moments that pass too fast.
I live alone, and there are times I look back and wish I had more photos of the life I’ve lived. Not the posed ones — the real ones. The in-between ones. The ones that proved I was there, that it mattered.
That’s why I do this.
Not for the perfect picture.
But to make sure you don’t miss the photos I once did.
If you’re shy, or unsure, or hate being in front of a camera — I get it.
That’s exactly why I photograph people like you.
Whether you want to chat over coffee, email quietly, or text without pressure — I’ll meet you where you are.
Everything is custom. Everything is yours.
So tell me your dream — and let’s make it feel real.
Say Hi!
