Sarkodie Photography

About My Business

Please view my work on www.sarkodie.com and get in touch for a free no-commitment meeting.

Accredited Professional Photographer with the AIPP

Sarkodie Photography of Sydney specialises in weddings and all types of personal photography. My passion for creative expression began with a love of drawing and led to a career in architecture. But it is photography that allows me to use my skill and enthusiasm to the full.

As a wedding photographer, I am constantly aware of the great responsibility that the role involves. Not only is it essential to capture the complete story of the day, but to do so in a way that creatively celebrates the unique couple and their occasion. The experience I have gained through recent years in the field is of huge benefit, although each event tests me in new ways and pushes my creativity.

When a couple places their trust in me to cover their wedding, I do so in a way that’s friendly, unobtrusive, and allows them to relax so I can capture unguarded emotion and genuine human interaction. I cover weddings with two Canon 5D Mark II bodies and four Canon prime lenses, allowing for a rich variety of candids, panoramas and details. I borrow techniques from the fields landscape, macro, sport and fashion photography.

The editing aspect of the service is crucial, and I would never hand over an image without running it through post-production to enhance its qualities in subtle and natural ways. The editing response for each photo differs depending on the scene, composition and lighting, and I take care to bring out the best in every shot.

I am always flexible and open to ideas and contributions from the couple and will happily stay that extra half an hour if required.

Joseph was amazing on our wedding day, he made us feel extremely comfortable and ensured that every special moment was captured, particularily the "four seasons in one day" weather we had! Thank you Joseph, I would happily reccommend you to anyone who asks! Chrissy & Nick

Thanks for the speedy response! A friend decided to offer services as a present to the birthday boy~!

Joseph made himself available for my portrait shots at very short notice, freely making suggestions to get the most value out of the shoot given the short notice. He takes pride in his work and I recommend him.

Joseph was great and I was delighted with the range of options provided. Thanks very much!

Joseph made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. He is such as easy going person and so professional in what he does at the same time. Throughout the entire time at our wedding he came up with great ideas for photo shots which look natural and absolutely amazing. When we saw the photos both Matt and myself were speechless as they look fantastic. All our guests were amazed with Joseph as well, especially the children since he let them have a try with his camera. All I can say at the end is that he was the perfect choice for our wedding and we are grateful for the memories he captured of our wedding day with such great perfection.

Thank you to Joseph of Sarkodie Photography for taking such wonderful pictures and helping to make our wedding day so special. Right from the first phone call Joseph was amazing to deal with. He was friendly, offered great ideas and put us at ease straight away. We had our wedding in the Blue Mountains on a Friday and Joseph was happy to travel the two hours from Sydney to be there for the afternoon. His photo's are amazing - everyone has commented on what a beautiful wedding it was and how Joseph really captured how happy and excited we were. I can highly recommend Joseph to anyone wanting something special for their wedding day. And his prices are VERY reasonable. thanks again. Katie and John Doyle

Joseph is an incredibly talented photographer, who managed to capture some very special moments for us. We were particularly impressed with his very clever and artistic use of light. He has a comfortingly relaxed manner and his presence is completely low-key. Thankyou, these photos will always enrich the memories of our wedding day. We hope to continue a relationship with you for future photography needs. Thanks again, Sally, Ben and family.

Joseph was fantastic. We have so many beautiful photo's of our wedding day. For us, the photo's were such an important part of the day. It is really important to us to have special photo's that captured the true spirit of the day. Joseph's creativity achieved this, and at a very reasonable price.

Here is a professional photographer who made us feel at ease from the moment we met him right to the end of the big day. An absolute pleasure to deal with. Unlike other photographers we interviewed, Joseph did not get over-protective over who retains rights and what we can and cannot do with our own photographs. He is down to earth, a great sense of humour and really willing to just go with the flow. This is what you want on your wedding day. Needless to say, his work speaks for itself and we are delighted with the results of the shoot. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

Thanks so much joseph. Dave and I loved the photos of our wedding! All of our family commented on how impressive they were.

It was great as I knew the price and then could look at their website to determine whether they were the type of business i was looking for and made the process so much easier.

I had great cooperation and service from Sarkodie photography. Joseph was very prompt, professional and accomodating. He took his personal time to expidite an urgent job as requested. I would be glad to recommend his services to anyone looking for a photography based service.. Regards Stephen Panopoulos.

Joseph is a great photographer. Best of all is his fantastic ability to capture those priceless moments and he really made me feel special on my big day. I'd highly recommend him to anyone after value for their money.

Joseph is quite simply what every bride has in mind for a wedding photographer and I would suggest to anyone looking for a wedding photographer to look no further. From the very first correspondence with Joseph, I found him to be friendly, flexible, quick to respond, highly professional and very easy to deal with. When organising a wedding and with lots of suppliers to deal with, this is a fantastic trait. So from the start I felt that we were in safe hands and I trusted Joseph with documenting our wedding day. Joseph really took one element of stress away from all the planning. All this and I havent yet mentioned the photos which were just stunning and captured the essence and emotion of the day beautifully. On the day, Joseph was professional, on time, always there for the important shots but never intrusive or pushy and we could not be more happy with the way the photos turned out. They will really be a source of joy for years to come when we look back on the day. I will also be sure to get in touch with Joseph for family shoots when we have babies!! Thank you Joseph :)

Wow! Joseph is a fantastic photographer - easy-going, friendly and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He totally surpassed my expectations of our wedding photographs - each and every shot is gorgeous and an amazing way to relieve the happy memories of our day. Joseph was flexible, very reasonably priced and got the photos to us very quickly. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I would strongly recommend him to any couple looking for a wedding photographer or a photographer for any occasion. You are a superstar Joseph! Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding day. Bron & Rob xx

Thank you for your reply we are currently weighing up all our options & will get back to you soon.

Havent actually used them yet but we are arranging everything

I cannot comment on his work as the wedding is not untill Jan 2012 but so far he is very pleasent to deal with. Debbie

This helped me a lot and saved lots of time for me also. And now I have booked the best photographer for our wedding. Thank you for providing this service.

Joseph is the perfect wedding photographer! Joseph somehow managed to be unobtrusive during the intimate special moments of the wedding ceremony (and capture the perfect shots) but then can organise groups of wayward relatives into a gorgeous group shot. On top of that, he is master of the light and aimed not only to capture the moment, but capture it well considering the lighting and background. SInce our wedding, we have had constant feedback from guests on the quality of the photo's, and I'm sure several will be chasing up Joseph in the future. He is certainly a wedding photographic star on the rise.

Joseph from Sarkodie Photography was very professional, ontime he followed the brief and the photographs look amazing. I would highly recommend Sarkodie Photography to anyone looking for any style of photography.

Joseph was amazing!! Thank you for prompt replies here and to my emails. You delivered exactly what we had asked for in an efficient manner and now we have wedding shots we'll love forever! Joseph is professional, punctual, a great communicator and listener and you'll get great shots at an affordable price. I'd definitely recommend his services!

Joe is a warm and accommodating photographer with a great eye for detail and talent for capturing the moment. His service was especially dedicated and the quality of the photos was professional and terrific. The turnaround time was fast and the images we will cherish forever. Thanks Joe. Highly recommended and we hope to be back.

I definitely recommend Joseph to anyone seeking photography of any kind. Being friendly & professional, he's able to step out of his comfort zone to deliver some amazing shots no matter what the occasion is. I required promotional photo's for my website & promotional materials and he was able to deliver far beyond my expectations. Perfect photos & a perfect photographer. THANKS!

Joseph is exceptional! He is professional and easy going. Joseph is extremely hardworking and delivers above and beyond what you could imagine. Our wedding day was a little challenging at times with about 20mm of rain falling in a park with a wet black dog. However Joseph managed to capture some fantastic rain drop and umbrella shots. All photos are edited well and were delivered within a week. I highly recommend Sarkodie Photography to each and everyone of you. Thankyou Joseph for your amazing work! Bridget & Sean

Dear reader- if you are reading this you can stop your search for a photographer. Joseph will meet and exceed your expectations as he did with mine. Additionally I found Joseph's approach lets his photographic subjects relax and that comes across in the photos. Rest assured your search for fairly priced, quality artistic photographs delivered in a timely fashion ends here! Baz

From all the responses, Joseph was a stand out, from his website to his quote.. What he quoted is what we got - no hidden catches, or promises. Completely professional and flexible, He understood our vision and delivered... and a quick delivery we got. When we arrived home from our honeymoon (9 days after the wedding) the photo's were ready and waiting!!! We couldn't believe the turn around! all photos edited exactly what we had hoped for and absolutely beautiful. Joseph has a natural ability to capture not photos but moments and memories that we will keep with us forever, Thankyou so much Joseph . WE would highly recommend Sarkodie Photography for anyone looking for their wedding, you will not be disapointed.

Joseph was a great help on the day and we couldn't have asked for a better job from a very pleasant guy. He was enthusiastic and we had a number of great shots thanks to his creativity. Would not hesitate in recommending Josephs services.

Joseph is an excellent photographer with a great eye for detail. He was very professional and reliable. Nicole, Caringbah NSW

Joseph was great to work with, organised, flexible, thoughtful and professional. Delivered all he said he would and then some in a tight time frame. He's got a good eye. Great looking shots.

I recently ran a charity event for around 40 people and had Joseph as our photographer for the evening. He was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was professional, personable and took some amazing photos! Everyone was really happy with their photos, having some posed or portrait pictures, as well as a few group shots and natural "unposed" pictures. Joseph had a few tricks up his sleeve, producing some great effects with the lighting and the focus in some of the pictures. I would highly recommend using Joseph as your photographer for any event, large or small. His friendly nature combined with his amazing photography skills make Jospeh an ideal candidate for your next special event. - Laura Stone 0430 772 216

Thank you so much for all the information given, thus I have chosen a photographer already but you have been quite helpful in everything and very clear about your business Regards Gabriela

Fantastic!! We can not recommend Joseph highly enough. Our photos were beautiful and really captured the feel of the day. Joseph was friendly and helpful and took the time to discuss with us the types of images we wanted and delivered them within 2 days of our wedding. Amazing! The photos are great! Thanks again for your hard work - these have been everything we hoped for! *Zoe and Wayne*

Great photographer! Very professional with fantastic ideas to make every shot look special. We could not have had a better one. We love the photos and can highly recommend him.

An excellent and reliable service, and an eye for some great photo ideas. We have a great many wonderful photographs which certainly added to the great day we had. Thanks! *Mark and Rebecca* We absolutely love the photos of our wedding. We couldn't have asked for more. Many thanks once again. *Rob and Melissa*

Thank you for your quick response. I have recieved 10 quotes for this job, and your quote was extremey reasonable (ranked 4/10 based on quoted price). I viewed the JKSARKODIE website and was impressed by the quality of work and your service rates (ranked 2/10 based on picture quality and style). I had you placed on my shortlist of potential photographers and had been meaning to contact you. However, I received follow-up phone calls from a number of photographers on my shortlist and agreed to meet with them instead. I have now chosen a photographer for my wedding. Thank you again for your interest.

Joseph is an excellent photographer. He wasn't pushy and was open to suggestions. The photos turned out beautifully and captured every special moment of the day. I would recommend him to anyone wanting amazing photos of their wedding day.

I have received and looked at the photos - they’re great and we both love them. Thank you again for being a part of our special day and dealing with all the extended times. You were great in making us feel comfortable and the shots were very natural. We would definitely recommend your service to our friends and family.

When I saw the photos after the wedding I was blown away. They were truly magical, beautiful and the use of light amazing. Not just typical wedding shots but very artistic. I have a keen interest in photography they really did inspire me. They are to date, the best wedding photographs I have seen. Congratulations on achieving your dream!

We chose Joseph because he loves what he does and is truly an artist. It was raining on the day that we got married and Joseph still delivered the most amazing photos. He really went above and beyond our expectations and even though we were limited by the weather, he made it work and that’s what was really impressive. His style is very different from the usual wedding photographers and he really gives you a WOW factor in your photos. The hard part is deciding which one we are going to frame because there is so many WOW ones! We are truly grateful to have him on our wedding day
