Rattan Events was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first conversation, their communication was fast, fluent, and thoughtful - they clearly understood our vision and were proactive in bringing it to life.

They went above and beyond with every portion of the wedding, from beautifully setting up the reception venue to seamlessly coordinating the rehearsal dinner.

Twin Fin Filmworks 

5.0

Honolulu, HI
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,400

I started Twin Fin Filmworks because I love to create memories through film. Every Twin Fin film is as unique as the couple which inspired it. I believe my work is meaningful - capturing one of the best days of your life, and getting to handcraft a short film for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Samuel at Twin Fin Films was such a dream! I found him through a personal recommendation who also had nothing but great things to say about his work. The initial communication process was very productive! I previously had a different videographer booked who completely ghosted me after I paid my deposit to them, so I was very up front about my communication expectations, especially because I was planning this wedding remotely. Samuel was very understanding and exceeded my expectations in all ways! He understood our vision of what we were wanting for our videos, adjusted his video package to include everything we wanted and nothing we weren't interested in. The day of our wedding, he worked seamlessly with our photographers and made my groom and myself feel so comfortable even though we get shy in front of the camera. He was also so kind and fun to be around. Our wedding video and teaser came rather quickly in comparison to others! We got our full video 3 months after our wedding and it was everything we wanted and more! The drone shots were beautiful, the compilation was stunning, and the editing was impeccable. But the BIGGEST reason why I would 1000% recommend to hire Samuel is that I was a complete dummy and misplaced my USB with ALL of our raw footage on it. So I reached out to him and he was gracious enough to send us a replacement!! Quite truly a lifesaver. If you are thinking about hiring Sam and his Twin Fin Films team, do it! You won't regret it!

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

We have the A-team of florists, limousines, musicians, etc. Our hair and makeup stylists come to you and everybody on our team loves what they do as much as we do.

We could not recommend Hawaiian Eye Weddings enough! Leah and her husband Mike are just two brilliant people and they made our wedding extra special! My husband is British and I am from Missouri, and Leah was able to not only organize our wedding, but guided us on where we needed to go to get our marriage certificate and all that we would need for me to immigrate to the UK. She walked us through in our initial meeting once we arrived in Hawaii, the marriage application, filled out for us and just really made us feel so at ease on what to expect on the day. She helped organize the loveliest lady to come to our hotel and do my hair and makeup on the wedding day, and even for flowers for my bouquet and my husband's lapel. She went and got them and delivered them. When you go with Hawaiian Eye, you are choosing someone who knows the island, who uses local islanders for vendors, and who really provides an all around service you would not find anywhere else! Mike did amazing with our photos and wedding video, they are STUNNING! These two people will forever have the warmest space in our hearts for making our special day that much more special! Highly recommended!!!!!!!!! We love you Leah and Mike! xx

The Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort was a wonderful choice for our wedding venue. It was vibrant and a romantic place to have a wedding especially on a Friday night where they have a firework show. Alma Hamamoto was my husband’s and I catering/service manager. Her communication throughout the planning process was always positive, punctual, and informative. The HHV staff was incredibly kind and hospitable, ensuring our special day was special. The high-quality food and attentive service were standouts, and they even made sure my husband and I were able to enjoy a meal together amidst the excitement.

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.

Yanicke Lim Sang, from the island of Jamaica, of Chinese, African, and East Indian heritage has called Hawaii home for 17 years. She founded Zenju Weddings and Events of Hawaii in 2010, inspired by her sons: Zen and Jude. With extensive experience, including six years apprenticeship under notable coordinators, coordinating concerts for emerging talent for a Miami Beach record label. Yanicke brings expertise and passion to her work. She earned a Fashion Design degree from Miami Art University and devoted early years to the Fashion Industry before focusing on event coordination.

Our experience planning our destination wedding in Oahu, Hawaii with Yanicke, where we first met and fell in love, was nothing short of a fairytale. As a newly engaged couple living in New Jersey, we had been ideating on whether we should pull the trigger on organizing our wedding in Hawaii - the ultimate destination wedding location - not to mention, one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Just knowing this, we assumed it would be out of our budget, especially given that we were planning a big fat Polish-Indian wedding spanning multiple days, faiths, cultures and more! We began emailing quite a few planners via The Knot and Wedding Wire just to get a feel for what we could except from planning a wedding in Hawaii in general. Beyond worrying about our budget, we were torn on whether we could logistically execute something so elaborate being so far away….until that fateful Monday morning back in 2024, when Yanicke called me out of the blue. She quickly introduced herself, mentioning how she had received our inquiry, and immediately dove into her ideas for our special day. I just loved that she took the initiative to do that, especially given the crazy, 6-hour time difference! She explained how she had worked with a venue that could double as accommodations for us and our immediate family, something we knew would be one of the best ways to actually host and easily organize the wedding weekend of both Indian and Polish wedding festivities. For us, Yanicke REALLY shined when it came to tapping her vast network of vendors and and managing our budget. She advised us on what we should prioritize and invest in, and what we could do without, while still maintaining the overall vision and vibe we wanted to create for ourselves and our guests on the the big day. She was EQUALLY impressive on both our rehearsal and wedding days. She suggested we rehearse not just the Catholic, but the and Hindu ceremony as well, which was so worth it given the many rituals and parent involvement. The timeline she had started putting together months before our wedding, plus the finalized version accounting for vendor arrivals, additional notes and moments we needed to incorporate, was exactly what we envisioned and needed the most, and everyone was locked in and delivered once the big day came. On our wedding day, Yanicke managed every vendor, navigated any delays with grace, and even helped with family drama all while keeping us perfectly on track. We felt supported, celebrated, and completely stress-free with her by our side. Yanicke is a real gem with years of wedding planning wisdom and sharp networking skills that is truly hard to come by these days. She advocates for both her clients and her network, and will make you feel like family from Day 1.

Hi there! My name is Alexandra but I go by Alex. I have a lot of energy and I'm a go-getter. I love capturing and preserving memories, I love helping people to smile and enjoy themselves, and I love meeting new people. Being in front of a camera is not easy but my job is to make it as painless and normal as possible and hopefully you will pay more attention to where we are and who you are with than what we are doing. My goal is to work with my clients time and time again, to document the different stages of their life- so hopefully this isn't a one time deal because I'm here for the long haul if you want me!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Alex for our wedding. From start to finish, she was professional, attentive, and a joy to work with. She captured our day beautifully. The photos are absolutely stunning and they truly tell the story of our day. We’ll cherish them for years to come. She is an incredibly talented photographer! Not only is her work fantastic, but her friendly personality made us feel at ease on such an intense day! We can’t recommend Alex enough. Her eye for detail and ability to capture genuine emotion is something really special. Thank you again for giving us memories we will always cherish!

Hi, I’m Hannah, co-owner and lead planner of Ginger Bloom Collection. I’ve always been the one with the plan and the snacks, making sure everything runs smoothly so everyone can enjoy the day. Ginger Bloom Collection is based on Oʻahu and happy to travel. We help couples create celebrations that feel joyful, relaxed, and stress-free. Whether it’s a beach wedding or an intimate elopement, we’re here to handle the details with care and professionalism so you can focus on making memories.

Ginger Bloom Collection was everything I didn’t know I needed for our North Shore wedding. From the very beginning, Hannah and Cat were so easy to talk to and genuinely excited about our day. I was planning from the mainland and had no idea how much behind-the-scenes work goes into making a wedding run smoothly. Thankfully, they did. They were calm, organized, and always one step ahead. Every time I had a question, they already had it covered. They helped with timeline planning, vendor communication, layout ideas, and a bunch of details I never would have thought of on my own. On the wedding day, I didn’t check the time once. Hannah popped in with the perfect balance of support and space, and Cat made sure everything behind the scenes was taken care of. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, and everything flowed exactly how we hoped. If you’re getting married on Oʻahu, reach out to them. Our day was beautiful, stress-free, and full of love thanks to their support.

Hi There! I’m Michelle, a photographer who loves to showcase a bit of glamour in adventurous settings. Focusing on elopements, engagements, couple sessions and adventure shoots, located in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii.

Michelle was incredible in every aspect. So personable, help with planning and sight location, and was such a joy to be around. She loved being apart of the moment as much as we did! I couldn't have asked for a better partner in crime planning this surprise photoshoot for my now fiancé. Even when it began to rain on us during the shoot, it did not stop Michelle from braving the rain and getting incredible pictures for us that we will forever cherish. Couldnt be more thankful for you Michelle!! All of our Love, Tyler and Maddie
