Aloha and congrats! You’re considering to get married on the beautiful islands of Hawai’i or beyond — your own slice of paradise! Our journey together means everything to me. I capture your day in the most spontaneous, colourful, and nostalgic way possible. I’m Tâm — a full-time Dutch freelance photographer with a passion for travelling the world and documenting once-in-a-lifetime moments for wonderful couples like you.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first time we reached out to Tâm, he was so enthusiastic and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. Before even putting together a proposal, he took the time to really listen to our ideas and get familiar with the location, which made us feel so at ease and understood. What really stood out was his initiative, he went beyond just showing up with a camera. He suggested a beautiful nature reserve near our venue for part of the photo session, something we hadn’t even thought of, and it turned out to be one of our favourite parts of the day! I was a little nervous at first, worried the photos might feel too posed or unnatural, but Tâm reassured us to just be in the moment and enjoy each other while he worked his magic. And honestly, we couldn’t be happier with the results! The photos feel so effortless, real, and full of emotion. We’re beyond grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully!

I can’t even begin to explain how happy I am that we chose them for our wedding day. From the very first consultation, they were warm, attentive, and really listened to what mattered most to us. I was super nervous about being on camera but they made it feel so natural, like just hanging out with friends. The photos are so stunning, it honestly looks like something out of a magazine but still feels like “us.” My mom cried when she saw the video and said it was like reliving the whole day again. The small candid moments they capturedlike my dad fixing his tie before walking me down the aisle are priceless. The editing is just right, not too flashy, just elegant and timeless. They also delivered everything sooner than expected, which was a HUGE relief. I can’t tell you how many people complimented us on the photography. It feels like they didn’t just take pictures, they told our love story. Every time I watch the video, I cry all over again. Worth every penny, honestly.

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.

I originally found Masha through Zola and was impressed by her editorial style photos. I am so happy that Masha was available to photograph our wedding. She made me feel so comfortable and so gorgeous all day. My husband was nervous about being in front of the camera but she helped guide our posing and he looks very natural in the end result! Photography is a large part of the wedding day and I'm grateful I spent that time with Masha. I am picky about photos since my dad is very passionate about photography, especially film photography. The photos (both digital and the film ones) turned out absolutely incredible. She took both traditional wedding portraits as well as some very dreamy gorgeous editorial-like photos. It's hard to convey how happy I am about the experience. I'm already dreaming about another vow renewal so I can book Masha again!

Oliver Sangalang Photography specializes in weddings and portraits that feel genuine, timeless, and full of heart. With a relaxed and thoughtful approach, I focus on capturing real moments—from emotional vows and joyful celebrations to quiet, in-between glances you didn’t even realize were happening. The goal is to create images that tell your story naturally, allowing you to relive the feeling of your day for years to come.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!!!!! Ollie was so easy to work with and is truly an artist and master at his craft. He is excellent at coming up with not only posing ideas, but is also very artistic in taking photos of details, family and friends, and really excels in candid photos. He is able to capture the moment without it looking forced or fake, and somehow beautifully curates a wonderful variety of photos (various angles, wide, close, candid, posed). When it comes to posing, he has so many great pose ideas and is able to help you get into the pose without it feeling awkward or overly posed (to the point of superficiality). His photos also have personality and exude emotion, which is what makes his work definitely stand out from other photographers. We love his photos so much that we even got them printed in a photobook. He was a joy to work with. Very easygoing, and willing to work with you and your vision for the day. We cannot recommend him enough!!!

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.

Grace T Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive and provided us with so much inspiration and guidance to help us plan the perfect day. Their team, including Hannah and Mike, were dedicated and fantastic. They captured our wedding in the most candid and romantic way. They helped us plan the flow of the day by contributing feedback and building the schedule, and we even got special moments, like a pair of bunnies that photobombed our engagement shoot!

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

I truly don't even know where to begin. In less than two weeks Charina and her incredible team pulled together an absolutely breathtaking wedding, something I didn't think was possible. What could have been overwhelming and stressful turned into a calm, seamless and dreamy experience because of her and her team. From the beginning, Charina stepped in with grace, professionalism, and unmatched attention to detail. She listened to every detail and executed it. On the wedding day everything flowed so smoothly. We had no cares in the world. Her team was just so exceptional, organized, kind, responsive, and clearly passionate about what they do. You could feel how much heart they poured into making our day perfect. Izumi did my hair and makeup. I truly cannot recommend her enough. I sent her just a few inspiration photos of what i wanted and she brought every single detail to life flawlessly. I don't know how to do my own hair and makeup at all and she made absolute magic happen. She made me feel so comfortable, confident and beautiful, exceeding anything I could have imagined. June, the day of coordinator at the beach, took care of everything from the moment we arrived at the beach. She was calm, organized and completely on top of every detail. Knowing June was there allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the ceremony without worrying about a single thing. I also asked for the impossible. I asked for Plumeria flowers for my bouquet. And red plumeria flowers for our leis. June literally climbed trees for me to make this happen. Chihiro was our photographer. The photos are absolutely amazing. She captured every special moment so beautifully and naturally, allowing us to relive the day through her work. The images are stunning. The wedding was just the two of us, so we were relying on the photos to tell our story of the day, and she captured it so perfectly. Leilani was our officiant, and she was truly amazing. From the very beginning, it was clear how deeply she cared. She brought so much warmth, sincerity and heart to every word making our ceremony feel meaningful, special ,and perfect.

I absolutely loved having Terra shoot my maternity pictures. My husband and I are pretty awkward in front of the camera but she made us feel super comfortable and she gave us great direction. Also, I was glad to see that she came to the location early so that she can scope out the place. I was questioning some of the chosen spots in my head, but I trusted her and it all came out amazingly in the pictures. She has a great eye and her editing is just magical. I was surprised that she got us a sneak peek the day after! I hope to go back to the Big Island with my baby boy so that we can do another photoshoot with her!

I am a lover of love and adventure. I am a pretty down person (I free dive with sharks so if that doesn't say something...) I moved to Hawaii in 4 hours notice and quit my corporate job to chase my dreams and here I am! I'm a bit of a minimalist like to think I'm pretty fun. I'm an ocean conservationist and use my skills to also educate people about human impacts and ways to make shifts in our own lives in order to help the planet. I am really big on quality over quantity. I would rather deliver a handful of WOW photos over a ton of average photos to fill a number.

If you want one-after-another STUNNING images that take you immediately back to the emotions felt on the happiest day of your life… every single time you look through your wedding album…. Hire Taylor Walston. Her energy is peaceful, she made our sloppily-planned adventure so much fun, and she’s truuuuuly down for anything during your session. My husband and I decided to elope on a whim in HI…. But before we made any plans, I made a deal with him. We’d do it, only if Taylor was available for our date. After our original wedding plan fell thru during C*VID, we wanted to do the dang thing in a beautiful place with absolutely no stress and no real “plans” aside from saying our vows somewhere stunning with our parents to withness. I had a dress… but no photographer. I followed Taylor’s work months before we ever decided to elope and knew it HADDD to be her. The movement and genuine emotion/energy in her photos was exactly what we wanted. When Jake and I decided to do this (bc Taylor said yes), we really had such low expectations for how everything was going to play out - esp as last minute and “thrown together” it all was. But when we met her in person, it was just 5000 times better than we could’ve ever dreamed/hoped for. She thrives on spontaneity which was perfectttt for us. She was such a breath of fresh air to work with and really connects with you both as a couple. She was the cherry on top of this day for us. Our whole group was talking about how easy she was to work with and how seamless the day was because of her. I’m beyond thankful Taylor was behind the lens on a day we’ll never forget. 12/10 experience. 6 stars. Absolutely recommend to any and everyone! Thank you for everything Taylor!!

Hi, I’m Megan—a film photographer based on Oʻahu and in Colorado, traveling worldwide. I’m passionate about preserving the magic of weddings through the timeless beauty of analog photography. My work is rooted in honest, artful moments—candid, unscripted, and full of feeling. I love the texture, warmth, and intention that film brings, and I’d be honored to document your day with images that feel both timeless and true.

Megan flew from Oahu to the Big Island to shoot our wedding in Kona back in January and I have only good things to say about her. She was so sweet and easy to work with through the whole process. We met with her on a call before the wedding to discuss our vision and she was able to help me narrow down our packed shot list and schedule for the day. Of course things don't go as planned the day of and she was flexible when we had a few changes during get ready photos. My husband has captured many of our moments on film so it was important to us that we found a photographer who shot film for our wedding photos. Megan did offer to shoot a mix of film and digital but we both agreed that the feel of film was what we were looking for. Megan took such amazing care to capture all the big and little moments from our day. Within a couple weeks Megan delivered over 500 images to us in a digital photo album for us to download. We are overjoyed to have these beautiful images to look back onto for the rest of our lives.

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!

My favorite part about my job is helping my couples get exactly what they want from their wedding documentation. I specialize in digital and analog film and love to document the real moments and make you feel comfortable in the process. It is the small glances and simple moments where the memories often get blurry, so let me watch your day unfold and work with you to create a gallery full of memories.

From the moment we first spoke with Makamae Moments, LLC, we knew we had found the perfect photographers. Their communication style was professional, friendly, and respectful, and they were clearly knowledgeable about their craft. The quality of their work was simply amazing - they were able to capture stunning, vibrant photos even in dimly lit situations, and were quick to get started when we were running a bit behind schedule. The final photos brought tears of joy to our families, and we will absolutely be booking them again in the future for any other special occasions.

Guillermo (Willy) Navarro is an award-winning photographer passionate about capturing love stories with elegance and emotion. With experience spanning hundreds of weddings and events, his signature cinematic style transforms special moments into timeless works of art. “Photographing weddings in Hawaii is about more than just taking pictures—it’s about telling a love story. I strive to capture every moment with emotion and glamour, turning fleeting memories into lasting treasures.”

My husband and I did a couples shoot with Guillermo Navarro, and we honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience. We're both naturally pretty shy, so we weren’t sure what to expect—but from the very first message, he put us at ease with his professionalism, warmth, and clear communication. He was reliable, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with. You can tell right away that he’s experienced—not just in how he handles the technical side, but in how he reads people and creates a comfortable, relaxed environment. What could’ve been an awkward or stiff session turned into one of the most fun and memorable afternoons! He guided us throughout the shoot with just the right balance—tailoring everything to our personalities and what we were hoping for, but also giving us creative direction that made a huge difference in how the shots turned out. We found ourselves laughing, being goofy, and totally forgetting we were even posing. Some of our favorite photos came out of those spontaneous moments he captured so naturally. His background in film is definitely reflected in the final images—they’re cinematic, intimate, and just so beautiful! The final photos were delivered quickly, and we’re genuinely obsessed with them. If you’re even thinking about booking a photographer, do yourself a favor and go with Guillermo. You want this guy! Thank you so much, Guillermo!
