Keani Bakula Photography

Book them. Just do it. They were so down to earth, easy going, and accommodating. They are there for YOU. I am constantly bombarded with compliments---in my home, my screen saver, my workplace. My KB photos are everywhere. Some repeat comments"They look like they're from a magazine!" "Everything about the shot is perfect.""So beautiful!" Also, I love supporting a husband-wife duo They're magic.

This was the BEST choice I had made for our wedding. I cannot tell you how incredible it was to work with Keani. She puts you at ease and does not make any situation intimidating. When we first met, we clicked and I think that's a great trait any person can have -- let alone, a wedding day photographer! Her work is outstanding and I am so glad I found her by chance. We loved working with her and her husband and it was just so amazing to be around them during our very crazy wedding!Mahalo nui!

We had a couple portrait + drone session with Keani and Brad during our anniversary trip in Hawaii, and the overall experience was excellent. We were pretty nervous before about what to do in front of the camera but it turned out there was nothing to worry about! Keani and Brad were very thorough and walked us through the entire process. We just got the photos today and they are extraordinary! Thank you for the amazing work and such a great time!

Like literally I can't say enough amazing things about Keani and Brad. 1) their photos are amazing. This is obviously the most important. What you see on their site and insta - is totally what you'll get back and some are so much better than you even thought possible. 2) they are NOT CHEESY. 3) they are the most fun to work with!! We did not feel awkward or forced or anything with poses and they captured what really felt so naturally us. All our friends and family kept saying was how much the photos captured our fun and love for each other! 4) they pick the best spots. Like. Just trust them on this one. 5) Brad will totally get his ass in the ocean with you to get the best shots. Even when it wasn't planned. Worth every penny for our elopement, these pictures will be cherished forever.

Our little elopement on the North Shore wouldn't have been what it was without Keani and her husband Brad! Keani was so personable, friendly, and professional right from the start. I was able to communicate with her about every little detail even though I was all the way on the east coast. She is a true local and had so many great suggestions and recommendations for the event location and other vendors to use. Brad is a licensed officiant and performed our ceremony for us while Keani worked her magic. After the ceremony Brad got out his camera and they both worked together in perfect harmony. The moments they captured are truly beautiful and magical. We are so happy with all our pictures and 100% recommend these guys for your big day!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! When I first contacted Keani, she was super helpful from the get go! She responded quickly & had recos for everything (flowers, location, & officiant). This was great given we were planning our special day remotely. Her communication is fantastic! Keani even offered to meet us in advance to ease any nerves for our big day. Flash forward to the actual day.. her & her husband Brad were amazing! They are extremely talented & very attentive to detail. We had an absolute blast just hanging out with them & taking our hike up to the top of Makapuu Lookout (awesome views by the way!). They made us feel at complete ease!We just recently received our pictures and they are STUNNING! We are absolutely in love with them. Our friends say they look like they are out of a magazine!I can't recommend Keani & her husband Brad enough! It will be one of the best decisions you make! :)

One of the best decisions you can make for your big day is to hire these two... period.

WHERE TO EVEN BEGIN!! From the initial outreach, Keani and Brad were SO personal and easy to connect with - they asked to FACETIME. This stood out to us compared to the other photographers we inquired initially. K+B made us feel special and really paid attention to the details, explained everything and understood all of our asks. They've become more than just our "wedding vendor" - we consider them our friends! They were always so quick and responsive and really cared about US as human beings outside of all the necessary processes they needed to go through as our official wedding documentarians. :) K+B also really battled unforeseen circumstances (pre-pandemic scares, FLASH FLOODS, etc.) on our wedding day. Due to flash floods our wedding started almost two hours later, but they were amazing at capturing everything despite the insanity caused by the weather. They chased the light with us till the very end and truly went above and beyond. We absolutely LOVE our photos and video (GET THE VIDEO!!) and couldn't have imagined anyone else capturing our day. BOOK THEM NOW. You will only regret NOT booking them.

I love our family pictures that Keani took, she is an amazing photographer!She shot family pictures for our Christmas cards at Manoa valley and she was super easy to work with. She makes you feel comfortable and gives great direction and she was amazing with our 2 year old daughter, who is usually pretty shy when taking pictures. Keani was well prepared for the shoot and very professional. She also brought some cute props and our pictures turned out really beautiful.We have used many photographers before her and Keani is our favorite. I will definitely use her again and I can highly recommend her!

Our favourite vendor ever!!! We spent a few weeks researching and looking for a photographer and videographer to capture our elopement. We were so impressed with Keani and her husband Brad right from our initial phone call. Our gut (and of course their incredible work) told us that they were the right choice! We wanted people that we felt we would enjoy hanging out with on our day to capture our memories. Travelling to Hawaii from the East Coast of Canada, Keani provided us with recommendations for other vendors to book, and location recommendations for our first look and ceremony. We met with Keani and Brad for coffee a few days before our wedding, and we knew right away that we made the best decision. We loved hanging out with them. They're the sweetest, nicest people, and they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Working with them was a breeze from inquiry to our album and video delivery. We're incredibly happy that we booked them! We are so in LOVE with all of our photos and the video. They didn't miss a beat! BOOK THEM IF YOU CAN!
