Kristen Hook Photography

Did my wedding in Ko' Olina, and took the time to take all the pictures we requested. She also had great ideas for pictures and was extremely patient with family.

We had a family gathering in October 2018 to celebrate a milestone birthday, and were lucky to discover Kristen to capture some family photos during our stay. She was very communicative and accommodating ahead of the photo shoot: our party included two kids under 10 years old, and as a result we changed time and location a few times.We settled on the backyard of the Kailua home where we were staying. Kristen arrived promptly and kept us moving throughout the photo shoot; she did a great job keeping the kids engaged as well. The yard was nicely gardened and included plumeria plants and a banana tree. Kristen put all of the flowers and foliage to creative use in her photos, and even used some recently fallen banana tree leaves for a fun dramatic effect.The finished pictures arrived in the time window promised, look great, and are a lasting memento of our trip. We wholeheartedly recommend Kristen!

Kristin was our photographer for our wedding and while she was very nice and got some good shots, she didn't capture all of the ones we'd requested and many of her photos were not as sharp as they should've been for a professional. We had sent her a list of must-have photos and shots for inspiration, but on the day of, I didn't even get a picture alone with my mom! Kind of a standard, you'd think. She did ask me if there were any specific shots I wanted during the reception, but we were so busy (hello, wedding day!) that I couldn't possibly remember all the photos we'd listed for her. That's why we sent them ahead of time. Anyway, pretty disappointed and wish we'd splurged on a better photographer since we can't redo this special day.

My husband and I LOVED our wedding photos. Kristen was friendly, professional and provided a wonderful experience for the both of us. Her prices were great, she had our photos done while we were still on our honeymoon and she provided us with beautiful pictures. We could not have been happier with Kristen, she's excellent!!!

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 feel so blessed that my husband found her. I absolutely love all of my wedding pictures is an understatement. True talent and such a sweet person. Couldn't find any better business than her. She always responded to every single email. A million thank yous for being amazing at what you do.

Kristen took my maternity pictures and they are amazing! My husband and I love how our photoshoot turned out. I chose to have them taken on Lanikai Beach and even though the beach was packed on a Saturday, she was able to find us a nice little spot perfect for pics. She is very sweet, genuine, and accommodating. I will be referring her to friends and family! Her photography is beautiful and we appreciate all her hard work. :) Thanks again Kristen!Update: Kristen has done three amazing photoshoots for my family and I. One maternity, one newborn, and one family style at Paradise Cove!! All of her pictures always come out great, so she's my go-to photographer in Hawaii. She's still sweet as ever and affordable too! Anyone in search of a photographer should definitely check her out!!

Kristen recently photographed our wedding on Bellows Beach. We communicated through email prior to the wedding day and she was extremely prompt and professional. At our wedding she was extremely flexible, had great ideas and listened to everything we wanted. The turn around for the availability of pictures was extremely fast and the quality was amazing! We are so fortunate she was able to capture our special day and we will definitely be working with her again! I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone and everyone!

Not knowing any photographers on Oahu, I took to Google! I was looking for a photographer who was familiar and comfortable with same sex weddings. Even though Kristen did not focus on gay weddings, she had experience in a few and that was fine by us. We hit it off immediately over the phone. She was super personable, friendly and a great listener. The only demand I had for her was no cheesy traditional shots. Through her photography style - letting us play around and also her giving direction - Kristen helped our personalities shine. That was probably the most amazing thing. She also arrived on time. The second she got in the hotel lobby, she was already taking pictures. Once we got to Kaimana Beach, our wedding location, she knew exactly what she needed to do and how to professionally direct our wedding party. The direction she gave us was amazing but she also took our ideas as well. We did not have one cheesy wedding photo when it was all over...okay, maybe one or two, but she had nothing to do with those :) I gave Kristen 5 Stars because she deserves every one of them. I have been in customer service my whole life and she is all about service, talent and delivery. Mahalo Kristen!

Kristen has done my Christmas, engagement, and wedding photos! I was worried to hire a photographer for my wedding because I can be awkward and shy in front of the camera at most times, but she was very good at guiding and making me feel comfortable. Not to mention she is the best! The proof is in the pictures :)
