10/10 recommend Ella to be your event photographer! We’ve had the pleasure of working with Ella over quite an extended period of time because we had a long engagement. From our engagement photoshoot over a year ago, to our wedding just last month, we had a fabulous experience with Ella. She is laid back and professional – a perfect combination of qualities you want your photographer to had. She is always prompt in her communication, and most importantly – her photos are STUNNING. Her editing skills are beautiful, and the moments she is able to capture are second to none. Could not be happier that we chose Ella to be our photographer.

Honolulu, HI
  • Editorial style

Award-winning Hawaii wedding photographer captures editorial imagery for the discerning couples appreciating a vibrant and unexpected take on wedding photography. Through artful compositions and thoughtful storytelling, I am to capture not just how your celebration looked, but how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I finally saved up for our dream wedding in Hawaii, the best choice we ever had was to have Masha as our photographer! If you are tight on the funds, we opted out of a wedding planner and allocated are funds to a very good photographer. I am baseline awkward and she was able to make me look like a model! She is very professional, always on time/punctual with appointments and prompt email replies. She has a very in depth understanding of shadows, light, angles. I appreciate how she directs us on poses and she is very accommodating. She has a wide range of photography styles but we chose her for her editorial photography style like Vogue or Elle magazine, which is very hard to do. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

Jeannemarie Photography

Honolulu, HI
  • Fine art style

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
The photos we have previewed so far, have turned out perfect. For our wedding day, it was stress free and flowed seamlessly, which if you have a big family (or party) is significant especially since you need to corral them for photos. She met with us beforehand to make sure we were able to get everything we wanted from our special day. The day of, she helped us move our pictures along (while still taking breathtaking photos by the way, one of them is going to be life sized on our wall) so that we could really enjoy our wedding. We still cannot believe how perfect our wedding was and cannot thank her enough for capturing it. Mahalo nui loa!! (Thank you very much)

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

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.

Meet Sheyanne, a globally recognized wedding and elopement photographer based in Hawai'i, USA. With a portfolio gracing the pages and sites of prestigious publications worldwide, Sheyanne is celebrated for her ability to capture the intersection of effortless elegance and luxury in every frame. Her distinctive style seamlessly weaves together digital and film photography, offering couples a meticulously curated visual narrative that encapsulates the timeless essence of their love stories, whether they unfold in the heart of Hawai'i or at destinations across the globe.

This review is LOOONG overdue, but I always kept it on my eventual to-do list because Sheyanne is INCREDIBLE. She is extremely kind-hearted, welcoming, and (obviously) TALENTED!!! I was a bit nervous because we were planning a wedding in Hawaii from California, but from the first initial phone call with Sheyanne I knew she was the one. Her art speaks for itself, but her mix of professionalism and warmth sparked the connection for my now husband and I. She is truly a wonderful human being. Her pre-wedding checklist helped to bring our wedding vision to life due to Sheyanne's remarkable eye for photography. I told her to experiment and to feel free to try out new unique shots with us and gooooodness, did she deliver. I was blown away at the moments she was able to capture - your wedding day goes by so quickly, it's important to work with a photographer who will capture every precious shot. I look back at our photos with a huge smile as every memory rushes back to me, thanks to Sheyanne. Like all photographers, you will get what you pay for. Please don't see wedding photos as an "expense," but rather as an investment. Sheyanne was worth every penny in our budget, not just because of the art she produces, but her sunny demeanor and the ability to make you feel comfortable, like you've known her for years. Thank you Sheyanne for giving us such a wonderful experience! To anyone still reading this long-winded review – BOOK HER! You will not regret it!
