"AMAZING experience getting our Anniversary pictures taken on our trip to Hawaii! Jen made us feel very comfortable during our session and her communication with us was so appreciated! Very quick turnaround and the pictures came out even more beautiful than we could have imagined or hoped for! Overall, the time we had with her was the most memorable from our trip. She captured the most gorgeous sunset and scenery around us, it was a true paradise! Highly recommended this talented photographer for your special occasion for pictures!"
"Chris is truly one of the best around! From his infectious smile to his photography skills, you will definitely want this guy on your side. When searching for our wedding photographer, we narrowed it down to three or so people and asked for opinions from our parents, siblings and some friends, some of which are photographers and / or artists themselves. I already knew Chris was my pick but we were curious what others thought. I believe he was picked by everyone so hands down, we knew who we wanted. Just check out his portfolio and his work speaks for itself. He is super easy to get along with, he knows what he's doing, had a great second shooter, Hannah, and has an amazing presence, even though sometimes you don't even notice he is there capturing great memories.We were planning a Hawaii wedding from the mainland, which can be difficult at times. Initial emails were answered quickly, we had no issues trying to get in touch with him whenever we wanted to. And the first time speaking with him, it sort of felt like we were chatting with someone we already knew. There is just a level of comfort and confidence that he has which can put any stressed out couple at ease.Our wedding was in October 2019 and the day started out raining off and on. Of course everyone was a bit worried but we knew we couldn't do anything about it and accepted what was to come. Chris arrived on time, to tell you the truth I didn't know what time it was at all that day, even though I was wearing a watch . We introduced ourselves to each other and he got right to work. Completely professional in every way, Chris delivered on all levels. He even gave us sneak peek photos the very next day! Now I'm an not a photographer but I am a graphic designer and producing work the very next day is super difficult. And less than a month after our wedding, he had all our photos ready! Thank you / Mahalo Nui Loa / Muito Obrigada, Chris, for all that you do!"
"Our photobooth for our wedding was awesome thanks to Photo Perfect Hawaii! The line was non-stop. Hazel and the Photo Perfect Hawaii team were very easy to work with. They have a wide selection of (cute) backdrops and designs for your print-outs. I happened to have a design I saw in mind and sent it to them, and they were very flexible in working with me to come up with a custom design. It turned out great! They also offer a guestbook/album if you want to have guests stick their pictures in and sign. I personally provided my own but it's nice that they have that feature. The day of, they arrived 1 hour early to set-up. They have extremely fun props to choose from (shout out to the panda head and all the hilarious signs). Manning our photo booth was not an easy task I'm guessing with all our [drunk] FUN guests, but Hazel and her team kept things going. They were very patient and also offered unlimited print outs. The print out quality is top notch and very professional. Additionally, their prices are EXTREMELY REASONABLE! One of the best parts for me was that they kept a copy of all my photos for me and gave it to me (well my wedding coordinator, lol) at the end of the night with the USB of all the photos which was very thoughtful because as the bride, I definitely would've misplaced my photos by the night's end. All the photos are online with a gallery as well!Love looking back at all my guests' photos and would like to give my heartiest thanks to Hazel and the Photo Perfect Hawaii team for their hard work. Definitely added to the fun of the night!"
"Catherine is an amazing photographer. She is creative, and works super hard, but shes also patient, especially with group shots and people not familiar with having professional photographers taking their pictures. Ive used her both personally and professionally and the results have been beautiful."
"If you want a photographer who will work is quick to respond to your initial inquiry and every follow-up question or email you have, work with your quirky family dynamics, and make you feel like youʻre family have known each other since ever since, look no further! From the first contact until the photos were delivered, Lyn was absolutely amazing! Her daughters were also so helpful when we were taking photos. One of my son's is on the spectrum, so keeping his attention and getting him to look at the camera can be a challenge. Lyn made sure everyone else around him was set and then she worked on getting his attention. It was perfect! We are so over-the-moon satisfied with our photos.I'd also like to mention that her session promised a certain amount of edited photos. She took SO many photos, and ALL of them captured memorable fun, interactions . We ended up with a gallery with way more than the promised amount of edited photos.Lyn and Co. are warm, friendly, and they make you feel like family from the get-go. I highly recommend booking her for your next set of family photos!"
"Kevin Lubera of Lubera Portraits is a consummate professional with a keen eye and sheer artistry.His gallery is full of his beautiful art that he created of families, children, and yes, fairies. I was fortunate to be among the first to have my dog Pomai photographed by Kevin. Unfortunately, for those of us who have furry children with four legs there aren't quality photographers out there to photograph our kids so Kevin happened along at the perfect time. There couldn't be a nicer guy: very patient, easy to work with, flexible, calm, and he even had dog/cat toys and treats too.Kevin took a lot of amazing shots, but one just spoke to me. It just touched my heart...it captured the essence of my Pomai in every way possible. Kevin took "the" picture. I will be forever grateful. This picture, like my Pomai, will live forever in my heart. Mahalo Kevin! You are the Man!Whether you are looking for a photographer for your family, for your pet, or both, I highly recommend Kevin Lubera of Lubera Portraits."
"Jeptha is an amazing photographer. My wife hired him for our engagement photos and wedding photos, and he was definitely one of the best decisions we made. From the kind hearted and patient person that he is, to the absolute amazing photos that he took. He was the best photographer we could've dreamed of. If we had to do it all over again, me and my wife would definitely choose Jeptha once again. Thank you Jeptha as well as your crew for the endless hard work you put in for our wedding! Every time we look back at the photos we can't do anything but smile thanks to the whole smooth experience with you and your team. From standing up, to on the ground, to doing awkward bending positions, you and your team did everything possible to get us our perfect picture. More than 5 stars are deserved and we will fully and always recommend you and your team for any photo sessions."
"We had the pleasure of having Geily come to the hospital just as soon as my baby was born. New born photos were always on my list to do, but didn't think o would have the time and energy. But Geily made it quick and easy. She was very great on communication and informed me when she would be able to make it to the hospital in a short notice.When she got to the hospital she knew exactly what she needed to do in a short amount of time. She handled my new born like a pro and knew exactly what to do when she started crying. She was able to capture a couple of beautiful memories and edited our photos within a 6 hour time frame and got them back to me super quick! Thank you again Geily and I would be Happy to work with you again. :)"
"Taylor is phenomenal! She is immensely talented, highly professional and creative.Traveling from San Diego to Hawaii, I was reluctant to book a session as I was afraid we would miss the session due to weather, traffic, etc... then throw some jet lagged kids in the mix and our chances of a great session was slim. Well, Taylor made sure we were on the dryer side of the island but still had the back drop I was looking for; picked a time that still had great light but worked with the kid's nap schedule; and was very flexible in the date as we were going to be on the island for 7 days with 3 of the days forecasted to be raining. The photos were absolutely stunning. She made us all feel at ease and captured how my family is naturally. She was even able to get some great shots of my three-nager who was throwing a fit because her baby brother was getting a lot of attention for his cake smash.She made the whole process stress free and she was very easy to get a hold of if I needed to ask her something. We got the sneak peak and full gallery shorter than her promised time. Will definitely use her again when we get the chance. We can't thank her enough!"
"We had an amazing one hour photo shoot with Chris and it was a blast. The photos turned out so beautiful...like we're in a painting. He met us at the location, helped us pose, assisted with outfit selection, it was top notch service! If you have an event or need photos of any kind, this place is ten outta ten!"
"I found a Groupon for a family shoot, 1 hour. The Groupon cost was a DEAL. I paid an extra $50 travel fee because I wanted a location further out than the Groupon included location which was basically only Waikiki-Ala Moana area. Shijia was super friendly and directed us on how to pose. She was very active in capturing my baby's movements. She showed us photos along the way and they were great.It took only 3 days for her to send me my photos. They turned out fantastic. My Groupon covered 20 photos, however I ended up purchasing more because the 20 didn't include some other photos I wanted. I ended up buying 15 or so more at $5 each. The only thing I would recommend to her is if the customer could choose the 20 photos instead of them being chosen by the photographer. I would recommend Shijia, excellent price and her photos are very professional."
"Ever wanted to freeze time because you were experiencing some of life's precious moments? Well, being a first time mommy and having this amazing human to care of, the best advice I received was to do newborn photos. I'd heard of Mindy's work through friends and family and through people's pics on Insta or FB, so I'd always been intrigued. When I inquired, not gonna lie, the price was high and I thought twice about it. But, I called my cousin, Tracie, and asked her if it was worth it. (Yes, writing about it now, I feel like a fool, but I needed this convo with her.) She flat out told me, "Aim, do it. You'll never get those moments back. It all goes by too fast and you don't want to miss it." I was sold. And now, looking back at the photos of my precious son at nine days old, I can't get that time back and I am beyond blessed that Mindy captured him so perfectly. I'm not here advertising for Mindy, rather speaking from my heart that this was THE best decision I've made. So, yes, it's not cheap, but the photos that Mindy took are priceless (and I never say things like that as thick as my Chinese blood runs through my veins!). Communicating with Mindy was easy and she is very responsive and (for lack of a better word) AWESOME. We worked out the details over email and she had a lot of information about what to do to prepare and be ready for the photoshoot. The day of the photoshoot was crazy. Mindy is a professional and simply the best at her art. What I learned this entire day was a master of her craft needs time to "do work". Mindy spent around five hours with my son. Who knows what she does or how she is a newborn photo genius, but she is. To clarify, my husband and I were there the whole time. We took family photos first and then we left him with her for the rest of the photoshoot. Not gonna lie, as new parents this being the first time away from the baby, my hubby and I were lonely and worried. I guess they call this separation anxiety, but we survived that day thanks to the Women's World Cup on TV to keep us occupied. Anyway, whatever she does behind her closed door is just magical. I know this because I have the photos to prove it. Mindy sent us a bunch of photos for our birth announcements right away and a few weeks later we got the rest of the photos. I know I cannot articulate correctly how the photos came out, but I am blown away by how perfect she captured my little guy and our new family. Like I said earlier, his newborn days were so precious and I will never get that time back with him. Mindy literally froze time and put him in the cutest positions and props so I will have those moments forever. And I am a sincerely grateful mommy.(If you interested in hiring Mindy, PM me so I can give you my referral code. Or if you have questions, message me anytime!)"

Choosing Ohana Dream Photography with Jen was one of the best choices we've ever made for our family photos! Jen has captured our family's memories beautifully, not just once, but twice, and every single image is something we'll cherish forever. She's incredibly talented and affordable, but beyond that, she brings such warmth and kindness to every session. Jen takes her time, making everyone feel totally at ease, and truly makes each person feel like the star of the show. Her artistry shines both behind the camera and during editing--she has a way of making each photo look and feel magical. If you're considering family photos, don't miss out on working with Jen; she brings an irreplaceable touch that transforms simple photos into lifelong treasures.

This review is loooong overdue. We used Chris for our engagement photos and he was amazing! He was easy to communicate with and we were really thrilled with the images he captured. He has a great, creative eye and his demeanor is relaxed and comfortable so you can be yourself. What we really liked about Chris was that he gave really awesome directions! I don't mean directions to the location but I mean directions on how to pose, where to look and such. This is really hard to find sometimes in photographers but it makes all the difference in the world. It can make a good image, great or a great image not so great. Chris was able to guide us every step as we are no professional models so we needed a loooot of directions and he did so in a way that was comfortable and easy for us. When we received the gallery, we were thrilled with how they turned out! Clean, modern, and beautiful. He also took a great number of photos which is always nice because you can really pick and choose your favorites. Some photographers will only give you such a limited amount of images. Oh and another thing we really appreciated was his quick turnaround time. It was nice to have the images so quickly. I would not hesitate to book with Chris again. He is definitely a talented gem! Thank you Chris for the amazing pictures and capturing such a special occasion!

Hazel was very easy to work with. She was more than I expected. Having the photobooth was a great hit with my guests. Hazel was patient and kind the entire time. She was also so easy to work with considering so many things were going on during the event setup. She just did her thing and it worked out great. I was also very appreciative that she held on to photos of my family to give to me at the end of the event. A USB was also given to me before she left so that I was able to see all the awesome photos taken. If I have to plan another event, I will definitely call Hazel again

Cat is one of the most talented photographers we've come across. She really made us feel at ease during our maternity shoot on the beach - even when dealing with a tired and cranky pregnant lady like myself who was about to burst at 8 months! Posing did not come naturally to my husband and I, but with Cat's artistic eye and expert coaching, the shots came out so beautiful and natural. The weather was extra foggy that day, but Cat was able to use the fog to enhance rather than hinder our photos, creating an ethereal vibe. On top of all of this, she has the BEST personality! She is instantly likeable and relatable, no awkwardness at all. Hire Cat for your photography needs, you will not regret it!

Really enjoyed working with Jeptha!! He captured every moment of our special day and everyone that came to our party said he was so warm and friendly to work with . During the reception he moved around and caught special moments of our family enjoying our wedding celebration without disturbing the party!!! He was fun to work with and he got some amazing shots !! We both had a laugh as my son kept trying to get in all our pictures but Jeptha said no worries we can edit it and he didn't get upset but just giggled! Thank you so much JEPTHA for capturing this special day in our life that we will be able to LOOK BACK and remember this day FOREVER !!!

Can I just say that my experience with Geily is out-of-this-world. We met early morning at the Aiea Loop, did an hour photoshoot to find out, she was not my photographer and I wasn't her client! LOL! But can I just say "accidents happen for a reason" and she was so nice to still edit and show me the mini christmas pix and I eventually bought all the shots (thank you for giving me a special price). I didn't get to review her site or know her at all but my G! Her work is phenomenal. During the shoot, I just had this feeling that she knows her craft and that's she's really good capturing those special moments. My daughter is notorious for crying every photoshoot I had but Geily was the only one who was able to give me pictures of Kiki looking at the camera. Thank you so much Geily. She gave me my pictures in less than 24 hours-- how's that for delivery?! So yes, book with her, it's an investment but you will not be disappointed.

"We've used Crysta several times now for our family shoots and for shoots for my apparel company. She is amazingly versatile and can really pull of "WOW" shots! I've hired lots of different photographers over the years and can honestly say that she is one of the best - she puts the subjects at ease, is fun to shoot with and has a great eye for creative and flattering shots. Turnaround time is really fast and she has been really flexible in meeting our deadlines. She also has an amazing network of people being born and raised here on the islands. Highly recommended - you won't be disappointed."
"Ella is an amazing photographer as well as a creative, kind, and engaging individual. She recently helped us with a late afternoon family photoshoot at Sandy Beach in East Honolulu, Oahu, and it was such a great experience! She was so good with our almost 2-year-old daughter, and got her to feel immediately comfortable, which allowed her to laugh and smile throughout the shoot. She walked us through ideas for poses (we'd be so awkward otherwise) and captured our joy perfectly. We got both our sneak peaks and full gallery really quickly, and the final products were stunning! I would highly recommend Ella for any of your photo needs! She is a pleasure to work with, responsive, and highly talented!"
"***This is the sign you're looking for*** You guys... read and look no further, do yourself a favor. BOOK KRYSTAL! From the beginning, she helped me sort through finding great outfits for the shoot, she was super flexible with the dates and my timing with my family. She's so sweet and honest. Exactly what I needed to be comfortable posing... I loved asking for her suggestions because she's the PROFESSIONAL. Just hands down one of the best photographers I've worked with. From the beginning - to during the shoot - til the ending and sending the photos, I'm obsessed. She's got a customer for life right here! She's a good person and in her beautiful work, it shows. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for helping me create these beautiful moments that will last forever for my ohana"
"We used Heather to shoot our engagement photos, and the experience was nothing short of wonderful. The photos came out great (very professionally done and well edited) and the process itself was very painless. She is a true professional and knows all of the awesome spots to shoot in Wilmington. We did a shoot at one of the local parks as well as downtown which provided us with a wonderful array of pictures. Heather is a lot of fun and very easy to work with; I'd recommend her for any special occasion."
"I first came across Right Frame Photography while searching for a photographer to cover my babymoon while in Oahu. Ania handled all the communication and it was very easy to work with her and understand the process. During the session day, Radek was very friendly and he knew the best places and poses to capture. He was very patient and great to work with. Fast forward, I contacted them for our first family photoshoot while in the island. I had to customize the package and Radek was able to accommodate it as I wanted. It was raining a while on the day of the session, but Radek was very patient and waited for the right time with the lighting to get the best shots!! Love Right Frame Photography! Definitely recommend!!"
"Newly engaged?? You've come to the right place if you're reading this review! Charles and his team are AMAZING!!I booked them for my upcoming wedding and got the package that includes an engagement shoot. Keshia was so helpful since the very beginning. She is always checking on me to see if there's anything I need help with and with this pandemic, there have been many changes in plans for my wedding. :( But, HNL has been SUPER understanding and helpful. My fiance and I took our engagement photos in January and we LOVE how our photos turned out! It was exactly what I wanted and they captured both us and the beautiful scenery perfectly! I love that we get to know them (and vice versa) before the big day so we could both get comfortable around one another. My fiance and I have never taken professional photos before so it was a bit awkward at first but, after HNL explained the different poses, it was a breeze!Charles and Nikki are super down to earth and easy to work with. They are dedicated to their work and are passionate about what they do. When I told them where I wanted to take my engagement photos, they went there beforehand to scope it out since they had never been there before. Now that's dedication & service!I can't wait for them to be at my wedding! I just know they will do an amazing job at capturing all the right moments!"
"We loved our wedding photos and the entire experience with Mike and his team on our big day!I found him tagged on my friend's wedding photos and ended up browsing through his gallery. I loved his style and editing! Plus, prices were reasonable for what we needed!We communicated via email and only met the day of. His responses were quick and thoroughly answered all of our questions during the months leading up to our wedding.Mike has a lot of energy and great vision which kept us chugging along for the perfect shot. He was really fun to work with!We got our photos exactly one month later and it was above all expectations and so many too! I made an album for my elderly dad and he was thrilled. He and his team did such a great job capturing our wedding that I felt we might not have even needed a videographer! I digress since I haven't seen their finished work yet lol.I highly recommend checking out Mike Pham Photography for your wedding. He was so great to work with and went above and beyond to capture all the moments."
"We got our engagement photo taken with Jamie. She is very easy to work with from the start, fast with responses and eager to help us with things related to the photoshoot (hair makeup, florist, location recommendation etc).We had to reschedule for several times due to weather conditions and Jamie has been very patient and flexible with us.The most important thing is i love her photography style, it captures the the most beautiful colors of Hawaii and the authenticity of our love and joy.I highly recommend Jamie if you ever consider to capture your special moments in Hawaii, and i would book her again for future sessions like wedding, family, maternity if i visit Hawaii again. 5 out of 5 overall"
"Justin is an amazing photographer! I found him via yelp while looking for someone to shoot family photos for us while we were in Hawaii. He takes beautiful photos and was so friendly and down to earth. We haven't had family photos in almost 20 years so we were overdue. He did such a good job working with all of the different personalities in my family, including my 1 year old daughter and some stubborn family members who hate taking pictures (lol!) He got some priceless photos of my little girl that I can't stop staring at and some amazing family photos that will be passed around for many years to come. We got the pictures back super quickly and he is really communicative and easy to do business with. He asked us for specific shots we wanted to get and he kept all 7 of us on track during our session to make sure we got them all. If you are looking for a photographer in Hawaii, I HIGHLY recommend messaging/calling Justin. Overall an amazing experience."
"My Fiance and I had our first photo shoot together with EMQII Photography and were amazed by the service. We didn't really know what to do and I was able to give the idea I had in mind and he was able to make it happen. We have only gotten to see a few of the pictures so far, but from what we have seen we are very excited to see the rest. The pictures were even better than I had planned mentally for! HAHA... We are a private couple and are quit shy around someone we don't know but he made us feel very comfortable and was willing to go the extra mile to make out photos unique to our personalities. It was such a great experience I can't wait to do another photo shoot! I would totally recommend EMQII Photography to friends and family. And we will definitely use his service again in the future!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE PICTURES!!!"
"We worked with Corey last week during our trip to Kailua, HI, and he was such a great and accommodating photographer to work with. My family and I requested to take photos at Kailua Beach and we also had my 9-month old nephew to photograph and Corey was great at taking the time to make sure he got great shots of my nephew smiling. He always asked us what other poses we wanted to try out and never rushed us during our session. Our family photo session included prints and access to our digital photos online with no charge. Corey also mailed a thumb drive of all our original photos for us to keep. Book with Corey--you won't regret it!"
"Jhewel recently did my cousin's graduation photos and they all turned out AMAZING! She's super professional and works with you to find the best time to schedule a shoot. She also allowed us time to do different backdrops and outfit changes. What I really loved is that she made both me and my cousin feel both at ease and comfortable during the shoot. And it was a lot of fun too! Even while being professional, she takes time to personalize the shoot and get to know you as a person, not just as a customer. Also loved that she had the skill and creativity with the shots during and in post during editing. 10/10 would recommend again!"
"Stefanie & Anna are an amazing mother and daughter team. I hired them to capture our engagement photos while were visited Oahu for venue shopping. They are wonderful with communicating and made sure to capture my all of my visions. The photos were so amazing and we had so many compliments from our friends and family. We loved them so much we booked them for our wedding as well!Before the wedding they reached out to me to ask what my visions were-- photography style and important wedding details I wanted captured. They were very thorough with the process and even created a timeline to ensure nothing gets missed.They are alway on time and very professional. They always respond immediately to our e-mails and are super sweet. We received a couple sneak peeks and love them! Can't wait to see the rest!Update:Just received our wedding highlights & we couldn't be any more happier with them!! The ladies captured all the details the videographer missed that I was pretty bummed about. Thank you!!"
"I recently took some drone lessons from Alex. It took a while to get time but it really wasn't his fault. You need the optimal conditions and I valued that he made sure that the weather was perfect for my first time practicing flying my drone.My husband got me a drone about three years ago for my birthday or Christmas. It was just poor timing on his part because he gave it to me the same year we had a baby. I guess he didn't figure that having a baby would take up 100% of your time and leave no time for drone flying.Well she's three now and a lot more independent so we decided to open our drone box. Lesson #1: don't be like me and open your box three years later. We had a few batteries that wouldn't charge up because it was sitting idle for so long. Alex gave me some good recommendations of what to do and who I could possible take the batteries to check them out. I met Alex at Kawainui Model Airplane Field. I have never been there but it was a great place to learn. It was a wide open area perfect for people who are just learning. Just in case they don't know how to move their controls. Alex was a good instructor. He told me about the rules of flying and how to be cognizant of the environment around before flying. He had me do several tries of the different controls. It was a little confusing at first but he was patient. I didn't get it but he helped me understand it better by putting it into analogies. Then I kept thinking of the analogy to help me remember the controls. I learned how to control it in all directions and take a selfie. I'm glad that I took this course. My husband was super excited that I finally got to use my drone. So I showed him what I learned in class and he's hooked too. Thanks Alex for the great lesson!"
"I cannot say enough wonderful things about the amazing Kevin Lubera. Where to start? We were referred to him by our incredible floral and even designer, Yvonne Design, for our 2010 wedding in Napa. We were thrilled that he was available, as he is highly in demand! Not only is he an incredibly talented photographer, but leading up to the day, he was so calm and accommodating, just speaking with him dropped my stress levels because he literally had everything covered. Given I was planning my wedding from abroad, he was entirely accommodating about when we spoke, and was super responsive over email. He is also incredibly organized and on top of things-- there was nothing he hadn't already thought of when it came to planning how the photography would run on the day.We didn't actually meet until the day before the wedding, and he had already done a site visit and begun to shoot background shots and determine where he would "stage" us on the day to save time so we wouldn't be away from our guests very long. Oh-- and did I also mention that he went above and beyond and actually helped with other aspects of the wedding preparation as well? What a saint! On the day itself, he was absolutely amazing. I'm incredibly camera shy and hate having my photo taken-- it was probably the thing that I was dreading most. But Kevin was incredible, and not only did he make me feel super comfortable and unconscientious, but half the time I didn't even realize he was there snapping away! I wanted photos that were not forced, and more of a photo-journalistic approach, and he more than delivered. His artistic sensibility and innate talent for capturing beauty have given my husband and I the most beautiful memories captured in film.Aside from his talent, he is also just the nicest man. By the time we got to the wedding day, he felt like family, so much so that we asked him to join us as our guest at dinner and dancing! Thank you Kevin for capturing our day and giving us memories of a lifetime!"
"I was very nervous about hiring a photographer for my destination wedding in Hawaii. I wasn't one of those fortunate people who could fly to the islands early and pick everything out prior to the wedding. I was playing around on different wedding websites and stumbled across her and I'm so grateful I did. She was so amazing! Let me give you some insight...I'm not in my 20's and I'm not those models you see in every wedding catalog. I got braces in my 30's, yes 30's, and had them on for the wedding. Also, the day before the ceremony I got a HORRIBLE sunburn with the sunglasses marks on your face. Gasp! OMG...this was a nightmare. (Thankfully I also had a rockstar make up artist!)Anyway, Kristen totally rocked! I hate the camera and am super insecure (especially about pictures) but she was able to make me feel so comfortable. They are honestly the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen of myself. I look at them time and time again and am so amazed. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat!"
"I recently had the pleasure of doing a Photoshoot with Rook & Bee, they are new in the pet photography scene so the prices for a Photoshoot are very reasonable as you get 15 edited photos with you and your pup for $125 (45 min session). I met savanah on the beach where the photo session was held. We did a combination of solo pics, sibling duo pics, and also pics with the humans (me!) lol. She definitely had quite the challenge up her sleeve as she did not know that one of my dogs was mostly blind at this point and had a forward head tilt. However, with some brainstorming and some teamwork we were able to make it happen where her head would pop up for very short limited times. The other challenge was my second dog was very vocal the entire time and would not stop talking. With their powers combined it created chaos in different ways (hahaha) I'm so very grateful that she is very patient and has a calm personality which helped a lot with our session which is what you want for a dog photographer!"
"If you're searching for the perfect photographer to capture your engagement or wedding, look no further because Jenna Lee is everything you've been dreaming of and more! Part visionary, part gypsy, part unicorn, Jenna not only has the ability to capture the most amazing shots but she is so fun that you feel as though you're hanging out with your best friend even though you've only known her for ten minutes! Not only does Jenna take pride in her work, but she wants to make sure you as a couple are 1000% happy with your experience. I've done a few photoshoots with Jenna and each time I'm blown away by her ability to capture the authentic essence and love that my husband and I have for one another. No one is ever truly comfortable in front of the camera right off the bat, but Jenna has an extraordinary way of helping you get comfortable enough to let down your walls and gives you permission to fall in love with one another again and again so she can capture your love in photos you'll treasure for the rest of your life. Can't say enough great things about this wonderful local business but hope you take my advice and hire her to capture your special day!"
"From the first email exchange between Jonah (business owner) and I, I could tell he would be really cool to work with. I had checked out his website and seen a sample of his work, and was like "yea right, there's no way my wedding can look that cool!" But I wanted video of our wedding, so we went ahead with our contract/reservation. On our wedding day, I was so right. Jonah and Marlene are the absolute best! So chill, so kind, such positive energy flowing out of them! Working with them was so effortless - I hardly knew when they were shooting! I was the bride at my wedding! I saw everything, because I was there! Right?! When we saw the video highlight of our wedding... there are not enough words!!!!!!! I could hardly believe it was our wedding! I cried, then we watched it on repeat 5 times before my husband and I called and left the most gushing voicemail for Jonah and Marlene. IT. IS. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! I don't even know how many times I've watched that video highlight to date and how many people have given rave reviews about it. Not just how the beauty of the day and all our guests was captured; but the video quality, the attention to detail in the editing with the picture and the songs and words being spoken, the way the vows were cut and interwoven (even though we wrote our own vows). It is perfection! Book Jonah and Marlene with Small Hour Films. They will definitely impress you!"
"Karolina is one of the most talented and dedicated professionals I have had the pleasure to work with. She is my go to Photographer not just for Real Estate Photography but for our Family portraits. Karolina's work is always very well done, she is a perfectionist and always thinks outside the box. She shows her love for her job in every photograph she takes. My listings always look amazing under her lens and my family portraits get many compliments from visitors to our home where they hang. I highly recommend Karolina. She is a very professional photographer, friendly and definitely passionate about her work."
"If you're in Honolulu looking for a photographer stop here and send Oshi a message! Amazing service, attention to detail as well as location recommendations. We did an engagement couples shoot and were amazed with the results! Thank you so much Oshi for making our moment that much more special."
"Anthony was exceptional!! The entire experience was nothing short of amazing! He was very patient and great with us, especially the kids! He was there waiting when we arrived and he was ready to go. He has it down and got so many amazing photos in a short amount of time! He thought of every different combo of photos from us as a couple to the kids with us and them together an seperate, etc. Never have had such an efficient photographer!! Highly recommended!! He also shared some great advice about what to do and places to eat on the island. This was awesome and definitely added to our experience on Oahu. Don't think twice, Anthony is your guy!!"
"Kay took some headshots for me. She was wonderful- the photos turned out better than I could have imagined! I'm an awkward picture taker, and really appreciated her kind and calm guidance! She was super fast with the image turnaround and very communicative. I'd highly recommend her for any of your photography needs! She is very skilled and helpful!"
