Yoki SJ Photography

“My photos reflect my heart” — that belief guides every wedding I photograph. Based in Burgess Hill, I specialise in wedding photography, creating atmospheric, honest images that tell the story of your day without forcing poses or contrived moments. My approach is rooted in elegant storytelling with a natural ambiance and an artful touch, so your wedding photos feel timeless, emotive and genuinely you. I trained at the Tokyo School of Visual Arts and have worked internationally, which taught me how to read light, space and human connection across many cultures. That experience means I know how to create calm, confident direction when it’s needed, and otherwise step back to capture the real, unscripted interactions — laughter, quiet glances and the small in-between details that make a wedding unique. Why choose me as your wedding day photographer? I focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere where people can be themselves. I’m specially good at putting couples and families at ease in front of the camera so expression and personality come through naturally. My images favour natural light, soft tones and considered composition to produce bridal and wedding photos that feel both intimate and elegantly composed. How I work with couples is straightforward and personal. I prioritise getting to know you before the day so the photography reflects who you are. On the wedding day I move through the moments with quiet attention — blending documentary-style coverage with gentle, creative portraiture when we want a few composed images. The result is a collection of professional wedding photos that document the whole experience: the emotions, the atmosphere and the connections that matter. I also photograph engagement and proposal moments, offering the same thoughtful, unposed style to capture the spark that leads you to the altar. Whether you’re planning a local celebration in Burgess Hill or a wedding elsewhere in the UK, I bring experienced, artistic wedding photography and a warm, calm presence to your day. If you value authentic storytelling and timeless images, I’d love to help preserve the memories you’ll cherish for years to come.
