From the moment we first spoke with Ari from Theel Productions, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding. Ari has a warm, friendly, and cheerful communication style that instantly put us at ease. She is an expert at what she does, and her talent was evident in the way she authentically captured every special moment during our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day.

True Light Photography was a wonderful experience for our family/maternity photos. Calea is timely, kind, and clear in her communication. She was enthusiastic about any idea for poses or backdrops we had, and kept us moving efficiently so we could capture great photos while our kids were in good moods. The final photos were absolutely stunning - the shots were so moving and incredibly flattering. We are thrilled with the quality of her work and the value she provided on such a special day for our family.

We found Kristen Campbell Photography on Zola and absolutely fell in love! We reached out to Kristen before we even found a wedding planner or chose a date. From the very first interaction, she exceeded our expectations. During our initial consultation, Kristen made us feel so at peace with the decision to hire her to capture our wedding day. She was incredibly transparent about the details and pricing, and the contract process was simple and stress-free! Every vendor we connected with was SO excited when they found out Kristen was capturing our day, and each of them shared how much they loved working with her. Throughout the planning process, Kristen checked in with us regularly, always professional and genuinely excited for our big day. By the time the wedding week arrived, we couldn’t wait to finally meet her in person. Kristen photographed our welcome party and her warm and friendly personality immediately put us at ease. My husband had never taken professional photos before, but she made him feel so confident and guided both of us with clear, easy instructions. She captured our welcome party beautifully and was so gracious and lovely throughout the evening. After that experience, we were even more excited for the wedding day. On our wedding day, Kristen absolutely blew us away. She was timely, organized, and brought so much joy and positivity to the day. Beforehand, she talked through lighting and timing with us, providing recommendations for the best photo locations and schedule. We trusted her completely and were so glad we did—her instincts were spot on! Wedding photos can take time, but Kristen made the process genuinely FUN. Couples' photos, in particular, were one of our favorite parts of the day because of how relaxed and enjoyable she made it. Family and wedding party photos were equally seamless thanks to Kristen’s thorough preparation and attention to detail—she made sure everything was perfectly organized ahead of time. Our family, friends, and wedding party couldn’t stop raving about Kristen. Her positivity and professionalism left such a lasting impression on everyone. She truly brought so much joy to our day, and we are so incredibly grateful for that. While on our honeymoon, we received our sneak peek photos, and WOW—talk about a highlight of the trip! We couldn’t stop looking through them in our hotel room. Kristen delivered so many sneak peeks, and every single one was absolutely stunning. From couples' portraits to candids, family shots, wedding party photos, and intricate details—each image took our breath away. Kristen captured every moment so beautifully, and we’re thrilled with how perfectly she documented the love and joy of our day. The lighting and style of her photography were flawless, but even more than that, we love how genuine each moment feels in her work. Kristen, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We feel so incredibly lucky to have worked with you, and we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Your work is a priceless gift, and we cannot recommend you highly enough!

Everytime I looked at my wedding pictures I felt so lucky that I have Tara at my wedding day. She's super sweet and extremely nice to work with and the quality of the picture is another level. I like cameras and taking pictures, which makes me appreciate Tara's skills even more. She caught countless beautiful moments in the most magical day of my life. A month before the wedding she sent over a questionairre to get to know more about the details of the wedding. Me and my husband had a meeting the day before the wedding to run through the details, questions, and some wedding photos I liked and shared with her. One of the photos I sent was a champagne popping, Tara loved it and even prepared a setup for that shot at the wedding night! It was one of the most amazing shots I love from that night. On the wedding day, there were things unexpected and we were falling behind projected timeline, but Tara and her second photographer Tara were super flexible and managed to work it out. They helped more than just the photos. I truly appreciate all the help and the beautiful work!! Thank you thank you thank you for recording the most perfect day for me!!! I would recommend Tara to everyone!!

Kapolei, HI
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Hawaii

I'm Kylene and I am a cinematic and storytelling wedding and elopement photographer based on Oahu Hawaii and serving all Hawaiian islands. I am devoted to capturing the authentic, raw moments that make your story unique. With a storytelling and documentary-style approach, I focus on the honest emotions and intimate connections that unfold naturally throughout your day, capturing your story with sincerity. My goal is to capture not just the beautiful moments, but the genuine emotions and the spirit of your celebration.

Kylene Chapman is nothing short of exceptional, and we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. From our engagement session to my boudoir photoshoot and, of course, the wedding itself, Kylene was more than just a photographer—she became a trusted friend and a key part of our big day. One of the things that sets Kylene apart is her documentary-style approach to photography. She doesn’t just take pictures; she tells a story. She captured so many special moments I didn’t even realize were happening—small, candid moments of laughter, tears, and joy that truly reflect the emotions we were feeling. Looking back through our photos, it's amazing how she was able to freeze these intimate moments in time, making them feel so genuine and real. Kylene’s ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera was a game changer. From the very first time we worked together during our engagement session, she had this natural way of bringing out the best in us. We felt comfortable, relaxed, and even playful, which made all of our photos look authentic and full of love. Her energy and encouragement were contagious, and she was truly our personal hype girl throughout the entire process. What really stood out was Kylene’s thoughtfulness and dedication to her craft. Not only did she travel all the way from her home in Hawaii to Dahlonega, Georgia, to capture our wedding, but she also went above and beyond in every way. Within just two days of our wedding, she sent us over 100 sneak peek photos, which was such a wonderful surprise and made the wait for the full gallery even more exciting! On the wedding day itself, Kylene was incredibly organized, flexible, and professional, seamlessly guiding us through our timeline while also being there when we needed an extra hand or just a moment to breathe. She was always in the right place at the right time, capturing both the big moments and the quiet ones in a way that felt natural and unobtrusive. We never felt rushed or stressed, which made the entire day so much more enjoyable. Kylene is a true artist, and her photography isn’t just about capturing pictures—it’s about telling a story. Her work is emotional, authentic, and breathtaking. We could not be more thankful for the beautiful memories she has given us. If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture the real, raw moments of your wedding day with incredible talent and heart, look no further. Book with Kylene NEEEOWWWW!!!! Also, her website, the guidebooks she sends to clients, and everything she touches is evidence of the professionalism and craftsmanship that she puts into her work. Just take a look around her website for 5 minutes, by seeing how much time you THINK went into that website, think about how much time she puts into each of her clients.

Masha is an incredible photographer. As a fellow wedding photographer, finding the right person to document our colorful wedding on Maui took some time, but as soon as I talked to Masha and saw her full wedding galleries I knew she was the one! She took such care to get to know us the months leading up to the wedding and on the day made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Just a few days after our wedding she sent over the most beautiful sneak peeks. When I saw them I immediately started crying she just captured our day so beautifully!! I highly recommend Masha for her artistic eye, professionalism, attention to detail, and the care she puts into her job. She is fantastic!!

Terra at Earth's Island Photography is an absolute rockstar. We are BEYOND THRILLED with our wedding photos (just look at them! they're incredible!) and on top of it, she was such a joy to work with from start to finish. We spent a lot of time looking at portfolios of different photographers in Hawaii, and Terra was far and above our favorite- and she captured for us exactly the beauty and love that we were so enchanted by in her portfolio. - Terra was so organized and helpful before the event, helping us with a proposed timeline for photos and travel (getting ready photos, ceremony, sunset couple photos, reception, etc), having us draft a list of the group photos we wanted to make sure to take, looking at examples for ideas of the kinds of photos we wanted, suggesting the best beaches for sunset photos, and even recommending places for our last-minute rehearsal dinner. Just everything- and it put us so at ease to have it all sorted. - She is such a kind and sweet human! She is so friendly and lovely, and made our wedding day just that more wonderful by being such a ray of sunshine. She coached us into flattering positions, she was creative and up for any shot, and she waded into the ocean and scrambled over lava rocks to make sure she go the best angles of us on the beach. Just a dream to work with. - What an expert! She knows what she's doing- and it shows. We loved that she had a ton of experience shooting weddings in Hawaii, and the photos she captured for us all day were just top-tier perfection. Her skills with the camera are exceptional, her skills with retouching are exceptional- she is such a highly-skilled photography professional and we could not have asked for better photos. Terra was so supportive, charming, and cheerful, she captured our wedding so beautifully and perfectly, and she delivered an amazing gallery of memories (faster than expected!) I cannot say enough good things about her- she is just amazing. Thank you SO MUCH Terra!

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I even begin?! From communication to execution, everything was utter perfection. From the start, Brittany listened to my elopement vision (sometimes crazy) and gave her recommendations and expertise. The day before the forecast called for rain so she helped brainstorm other locations in the event we couldn't hike, but *thankfully* it did not rain and we met at the base of the mountain the next day about an hour before sunrise for a sunrise ceremony! Not only did she drive a way to get to the mountain, she hiked up with us, and took epic pictures at the top and back down at a cove. Pictures were sent back to us super quickly and were STUNNING! My friends and family still talk about our pictures to this day (3 years later). They even turned out better than our large family friend's wedding back home. If you are looking for an adventure shoot, elopement, wedding, bridal, engagement, or whatever, DON'T hesitate to book Brittany. She is the BEST!

She made everyone feel comfortable and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without being intrusive. Looking through the photos feels like reliving the whole day, and we couldn’t ask for more.

We hired Alvea Studios to take our first maternity photo shoot back in 2019, both my husband and I were expecting our first baby! We got to choose the location to have our shoot and both Abbie and Harold made both my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable. We are ones to not take pictures but I knew this was a milestone in our life we wanted to remember, I left having fun and it was the utmost positive experience we’ve ever experienced! Both were 100% professional, accommodating and captured every moment. After seeing the final product of pictures we were incredibly happy as it came out perfect! Something for my son to see when he gets older. They both were so awesome we also ended up hiring them to do my engagement photos in the summer of 2019 as well after my son was born! They even made a wedding teaser video for me, which came out awesome! Harold and Abbie have a gifted talent, to capture a moment in time with their photography I’ve never seen before with past professional family photos taken when I was a child. In the end I hired them for my wedding, my second maternity shoot back in 2021 and the last two years for our holiday Christmas cards. Consider them for any event you may have, both again are extremely professional and great at what they do!

I am a storyteller, inspired by the timelessness of cinema and the beauty of honest, unguarded emotion. From the rolling hills of Hudson Valley, New York, to the sun-kissed shores of Maui, I bring a deep appreciation for the interplay of light and shadow. This dance of luminosity and depth breathes life into each image I create. Your wedding day is a chapter in a story that began long before we met —and will carry on long after. If you find beauty in romance with a touch of mystery, if you want your wedding photos to feel like visual poetry, let’s create some magic together.

OMG Sari was incredible! Super relaxed and helped us stay in the moment and not get overwhelmed. The pictures are magical. She was a great communicator and got back to us promptly. Overall, it was such a great experience I wish we could do it again. Highly recommend booking her for your wedding.

Whether you're envisioning a mountaintop surprise proposal, an intimate elopement, or a grand wedding, we'll create an experience that's as unique as your love story. We believe that your love should be a reflection of who you are as a couple—your quirks, your passions, and most importantly your journey. That's why we take the time to get to know you, to understand your vision, and approach your story with grace.

Ashley has been a part of our journey from the engagement to "I do." Leading up to our wedding on the island, Ashley went out of her way to help us with vendors, shipping, and giving us advice on best practices on the island. We are forever grateful for her generosity and willingness to help us even when we weren't there. On the wedding day, Ashley arrived early to make sure everything was how it needed to be for her, but also took time to build bonds with our entire wedding party to make sure they were comfortable. Her way of guiding us through our photos while allowing us to be "ourselves" and feel authentic and comfortable was so natural for her. She was able to capture our love f0r our people and most importantly our love for each other in ways that we are truly blown away by. Every request was met with willingness and a clear vision. Her work prior to arrival was evident, her photos are truly magic, and her timeliness is unmatched. We found a reliable, trustworthy, kind, and generous photographer that has now turned into our Ohana. We are forever grateful for finding her!

these are the values that drive my biz: you are allowed to be YOU: this is a space that was created out of a ferocious desire to give the permission for you to be fully and fearlessly you. this is a space where you are wanted for being exactly YOU. embrace the ordinary: there is truly nothing better than right here, right now: the present moment is the sacred ground that holds all of who you may be, but more importantly, who you are right. now. be curious: the most beautiful things in life lay in the listening. we are surrounded by beauty, wisdom, groundedness, genius, love… if only we will listen.

It was so easy to work with Marissa, from beginning to the end. We don't know how to pose and don't often take photos, but Marissa knew how to direct us and made us feel super comfortable. We love ALL of our photos, which is so rare. I never heard of a bride who loved every single shot their photographer took. We should have hired her for our engagement photos, but oh well. We'll be sure to hire her for all our photos because we love her and her work so much.

Photography is an artistic escape I love to have fun with! I enjoy meeting new people and stepping into their lives while capturing the love is something that sparked my joy. Photography has been a full time passion of mine since I picked up a camera in 2017. I love spending most of my time out doors in nature so I've kind of got the whole location scouting down to a 'T'. Let's go somewhere beautiful and make some memories.

5 stars honestly doesn't begin to capture our experience working with Emily. I reached out to various photographers in Maui in our search for the right fit to capture our elopement. As soon as I heard back from Emily we both knew she was the perfect fit. She totally understood our vision for an intimate, fun "adventure elopement" and she led us to a couple locations for our shoot that were UNREAL.. in addition to that she was more than happy to give hair/outfit recommendations and help us find the perfect hair/makeup artist, officiant, etc and we ended up with an absolute DREAM TEAM for our day. Our trip to Maui was met with some severe weather which wouldn't have permitted outdoor photos (talking torrential downpour and flooding) and Emily handled the situation with the utmost professionalism, calling us with her recommendations and actually rescheduling our elopement for another day she was able to clear her schedule, which was such a relief. When we FINALLY made it to our elopement day, our photo shoot was an absolute blast!! Emily instantly made us feel so comfortable despite my wife being someone who hates taking photos. Instead of setting up awkward forced prom poses she let us have fun and be ourselves and would provide just enough guidance like "move this arm here, take a step this way, or drop the bouquet down a bit" so we felt like we knew what we were doing. Lastly, the PHOTOS! OMG! Not only was the turnaround time fast, the photos easy to access and downloading very easy, but the photos were STUNNING. Like, we gawked at them for hours and can't even decide which ones to print because they're all so fantastic. Her touchups are subtle and true to color, no dramatic or obvious editing. The locations looked like something out of a fairytale, and she captured our natural poses and movements so well that you can truly see our happiness and glow in every photo Emily is friendly, easy-going, flexible, organized, professional, and WILDLY talented and if you're reading this rather lengthy review just book her now before she's booked up! (Not to mention her pricing is very reasonable, especially for the location)

Hi! I’m Lexi. I photograph couples, weddings & elopements on Maui & the surrounding Hawaiian islands, as well as everywhere else in the world. I am devoted to story telling, to avoid the “posey” and focus on the real. I am passionate about imagery that makes you feel something. More than a cute kiss on the forehead. I want to capture the smirk, the look, the snuggle, most importantly the moment. Being a photographer is more than mastering your camera, it’s about showing up vulnerable to capture human connection. Love. Because that’s what life is all about.

We love Sheyanne!!! She was and will always be the best choice for your wedding photographer! She somehow kept us calm yet hyped throughout our day and made us feel camera ready. We wanted someone that would capture the emotions of the day as well as shoot more candid photos versus posed. Her style of shooting is exactly what we wanted. We also had our wedding at a venue that Sheyanne had not photographed at before which made me initially nervous, but Sheyanne was very open about it and talked me through her process. She really took the time to get to know the venue and found beautiful and unique spots that really elevated our photos. She even took some complementary film shots! We love you Sheyanne! Thank you for our memories of our big day that we will cherish forever.

We did a couple’s wedding/honeymoon photoshoot with Julia in June (sunrise at Waikoko). We found her on the Knot and from the beginning she was quick to reply and easy to communicate with, which was great for us. We took the majority of the pictures in our wedding attires - and those are some of our favorite photos of us ever - and some in bathing suits. Julia was very flexible when it came to the timing of the shoot as the weather was constantly changing. We could not avoid the rain completely, but Julia had a see through umbrella we used and those photos are so precious! She gave us enough time to finish all the poses we wanted, and delivered the photos in a timely manner! She made edits on request as well. We really love the way she captured the beauty of Kauai and also our love in our pictures. We recommend Julia Streich Photography!

Hey! I'm Angie! In a nutshell, I’m a Midwest girl living out her Neverland dreams in Maui, Hawaii. I moved to Maui in 2009 with my husband, a few suitcases, and a chance for a new beginning. It was Maui that re-ignited my love for photography. From the second I stepped off that plane, I knew that there was something special about this place; it was real-life magic. I am inspired by love, nature, and the beauty of relationships – and years from now I want you to remember how your wedding day FELT through your images.

Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions for me and my husband, as we wanted someone who could truly capture the essence of who we are as a couple. From the very first conversation, we knew we had found the perfect fit with Angie Nelson. Her warm demeanor, unique perspective, and natural style made us confident that she would not only capture beautiful moments but also be a wonderful addition to our wedding day – we were not wrong. Angie’s presence on our wedding day was both calming and joyful. She blended in seamlessly, capturing candid moments that truly reflect our personalities and the essence of our celebration. Her photos are not just images - they are memories filled with emotion and life (she took Disney-inspired photos of us after realizing we were Disney adults!). We couldn't be happier with the results and would enthusiastically recommend her for any occasion. Thank you, Angie, for being such an integral part of our wedding day. Your talent and warmth made all the difference, and we are forever grateful for the beautiful memories you've given us.

I found my way behind the camera after years of art directing in the fashion industry in NYC. I always loved photography as it captures a moment in time, frozen forever. Taking my knowledge & experience from my fashion days, mixing it with my love for romance, love & art I made the leap to weddings. I photograph film in which I believe that is has a romantic dreamy elegance that only film can capture. I’m based in Honolulu,Hawaii, and I love to travel. Exploring the world to learn about new cultures, meet new people, get lost in a museum and drive the countrysides taking in the sublime sceneries around brings me joy.

We had Jeanne take our wedding photos for our minimony in Sept 2021. We booked her originally through our wedding planner. Covid restrictions were still in place and required a huge amount of flexibility from all vendors. Jeanne took our couples portraits, helped get everyone in place for our ceremony, and then took portraits with our family and friends. She was super easy to work with, she had a good vision for what poses and shots she wanted, and she was fun and laidback. We loved seeing our photos - they were beautiful and we are so grateful to Jeanne!
