Kylene Morgan Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Kaaawa, HI

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.

Obsessed doesn't even begin to describe our experience with Kylene. She thought of and went above and beyond with every detail. She became a genuine friend and an amazing guest at the wedding as well rather than only someone we hired. From beginning to end through the whole process she was friendly, thoughtful, communicative, patient, helpful and just a blast to be around. Her insight and ease with directing a crowd on a high-stress day was impeccable. She gave both of us additional support and peace of mind through the whole process and helped calm both of our nerves so that everything felt and was captured in a very authentic way and it allowed us to be ourselves and have fun when being the spotlight and having our pictures taken did not feel natural to us at first. Kylene captured memories for us in a way that still feel magical to look back at. She helped us navigate potential awkward scenarios we would not have thought of and made them all magical moments. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her help and support. The pictures she took truly look like they could be put in vogue and that's not to toot my own horn that is truly all her skill, thought process, angling, lighting, storytelling, and more. If you're having a hard time deciding where to cut costs and where to invest take it from a pleased bride and definitely invest in Kylene. It will give you not only the peace of mind in selecting the right photographer but you truly will get the value for what you purchase with her. We had a destination wedding in Mexico and it was her first out-of-country wedding but you NEVER would've known. She was so professional with my wedding coordinator, the hotel staff, my family, and all of my guests. Everyone highly complimented her and also is obsessed with our photos she took. If you needed a sign to know who to pick for your wedding photographer look no further because Kylene is your girl!

Rattan Events made our special day absolutely perfect. From the beginning, Miranda’s communication was consistently encouraging and honest, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. Her dedication and professionalism were evident in every aspect of her work - she truly was our rock and a miracle worker. When a calamity broke out in the kitchen, she and her assistant made sure it didn't ruin our enjoyment of the reception. Throughout the day, they were able to make smaller decisions for us while we enjoyed getting ready with our loved ones. Their prep work communicating with us allowed them to make choices that aligned perfectly with what was important to us. Miranda and Tyler completely transformed our wedding day from a that could have been a terrible stressful affair to the most delightful, perfect, joyful celebration we could have imagined. I was in tears the next day with gratitude. We are so grateful for their incredible service.

Twin Fin Filmworks

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
Twin Fin Filmworks was an easy choice for us when my husband and I decided we wanted to capture our big day through professional videography. While we originally thought that still photos would be sufficient, once we dug into Sam’s portfolio (watching his videos are pretty addicting even if you don't know the couples featured!), we knew we wanted to have our wedding captured by him. Sam offers an artistic (yet balanced and clean of clichés) perspective; under his direction, Sam's team delivers an incredibly creative take on the wedding video (which is really, in essence, a short film), to serve as both a memory capsule of the event’s highlight moments and a succinct narrative of a several-hour-long event. Only having gotten married a few months ago, we’ve already watched the final product he created for us dozens of times to blissfully travel the road down memory lane. If you are planning your nuptials in the Hawaii region and want a video that is fresh and creative (but skips the clichés), Sam is the professional to go with. We couldn’t more highly recommend a wedding vendor. All-in-all, I'm just so genuinely grateful to have a video to remember the big day, and, in particular, a video as unique and creative as the one we now enjoy! Thank you Sam!

There is so much to say about Ella! Our time with Ella started with our engagement photos in 2019 through 2021 when our wedding finally happened. Our wedding was postponed due to COVID and Ella was so gracious to honor our original contract and save the date for the following year. She helped the transition be stress-free in the midst of all the chaos with rescheduling our wedding & we’re so grateful because we didn’t want anyone else to photograph our special day! Ella is so sweet, very helpful with suggestions down to every detail: what to wear for photos based on locations, time of day to best shoot, and I LOVED that she has a photo shoot list for the wedding day! This helped the group photos run quickly and smoothly while making sure we didn’t leave any wedding details and guests out. She includes you in all her decision planning & her supportive spirit makes you feel like a friend! She even helped me put my shoes on and carry my things when I was alone (teary eyes). As a bride you definitely appreciate these little gestures of help. She goes above and beyond the surface of her job description. Our photos are vibrant & amazing, we don’t get tired of looking at them. We could go on all day but simply put, book Ella for your special day! You won’t regret it! Thank you Ella for everything!

Aloha and congrats! You’re considering to get married on the beautiful islands of Hawai’i or beyond — your own slice of paradise! I’m here to help you capture it in the most spontaneous, colourful, and nostalgic way possible. My name is Tâm, a full-time Dutch freelance photographer with a passion for traveling the world and capturing once-in-a-lifetime moments for amazing couples like you! From enchanting Mediterranean coastlines to fairytale châteaux in France, with Italy and Brazil on the horizon this summer and next year — clients have entrusted me to capture their love stories in a way that feels authentic, personal, and timeless.

We are really glad we went with Tâm for our wedding photos. All of our guests have told us how beautiful the photos are, and how professional and friendly he was to work with! We were particularly impressed with the way he managed to capture the light on a day that the sun was constantly going in and out, and his ability to capture the small moments that come and go so quickly.

I believe your wedding should feel like a memory you can step back into — the laughter, the quiet glances, the way your hands find each other when no one’s watching. I photograph it all as if it were a film, blending the beauty of timeless portraits with the soul of real moments. Wherever your day unfolds, I’m there — no travel fees, only the story we’ll tell together

Awarded Best of Zola
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

We are a boutique wedding planning & entertainment company with over 15 years experience in the Hawai'i & destination wedding industry. Our focus is providing comprehensive wedding planning experiences for busy couples that are culturally inspired, wonderfully personalized, luxurious, and reflect each couple's unique personality. Our mission -- to give couples back the freedom to enjoy all the fun aspects of their wedding journey while we manage every part of your wedding day down to the finest detail.

Seriously, you need Annie. I am such a type A person that I thought maybe I didn’t need a wedding planner, but from the first consultation with Annie we decided immediately we needed her. She added value from day one, and saved me from making a horrible venue mistake. She knows everyone, all the vendors, and who’s the best fit for you and your wedding vision. What she doesn’t know (which is rare) she figures out - for example, I had a request to have a magician, a friend cleanse the space with sage smudging, and a sound healer at our wedding, and she handled all my unique requests so well and was up for anything. She is very detail oriented and pays attention to everything- all our bills being correct, caught mistakes I made, and paid attention to all my strange requests. Most weddings are full of some strange interpersonal dynamic challenges, and Annie knew exactly how to navigate each one, paid special attention to the dynamic issues with my family and was fully ready and prepped to keep certain people happy and apart. She dealt with last minute changes seamlessly, including a no-show bridesmaid and last minute addition of a flower girl. There is no one I trusted more with my wedding (and at this point my life, I mean, can I keep her?!!) than Annie. On my wedding day and for months leading up to it I knew that whatever happened to go wrong, whatever last minute issues I would have, Annie would handle it and figure it out and I would barely know the difference. And that’s exactly how our day went. She is perfect and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Ps- mango season band was amazing too!!

I’ve always felt a special connection to Hawaii growing up in paradise. So many people dream of spending just a few days here and I’ve been fortunate to have spent my entire life here. It truly is such a beautiful place and not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate all it has to offer. I love getting to know each couple’s personalities and build new relationships. Most of all, I believe that life’s celebrations should be memorable and special in every way possible. I've been helping couples plan their dream weddings for over 17 years and love seeing how happy they are!

Planning a destination wedding isn’t easy, but Lei made the entire process stress-free and seamless. From day one, she was communicative, responsive (even when I sent a million emails—sorry, Lei!), and truly listened to what my husband and I wanted out of our big day. She left no stone unturned, ensuring that every small detail was accounted for. When you are planning your wedding, oftentimes you are flying blind. Lei helped fill in all my knowledge gaps and reassured me that everything was ready as we got closer! When the big day arrived, we felt like guests at my own wedding. Lei managed the timeline flawlessly, handled any pivots with ease, and coordinated every moving part so we could simply enjoy the moment and let time stand still. Many guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we have Lei to thank for that. Beyond her expertise, Lei might be the sweetest person in the world, but don’t be fooled– she runs a wedding like an absolute pro! She managed loading in our vendors and coordinated with transportation, catering, bar. She even thought of small details that made a huge impact, like making sure we had a plate of appetizers waiting for us after photos. One of the most helpful and unexpected things she did was communicate with all of our vendors in the weeks leading up to the wedding, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time in Hawaii without stressing over last-minute details. She even offered to lend us some of her supplies, like table numbers and a cake stand. If you're planning a wedding or event in Oahu, do yourself a favor and work with Lei. Thanks for making our wedding dreams a reality, Lei!

No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery.

By far the best investment we made throughout our entire wedding process was the decision to work with Grace and her team. We now have the most incredible photos that will last a lifetime and we could not thank Grace enough!

But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer.

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.

Aloha! I'm Roman. I've been living on the magical island of O'ahu since I came to UH Manoa in 2009 for my Economics Degree. I got involved with the University radio station (90.1 FM), started doing live events, and really loved showing off my rare music finds. Nothing beats the feeling of rocking a live crowd for track after track, especially after the long pause in events! DJing is all I do for "work", and I love it! Each wedding or event I play is full of different people and different ages from all over the world, and they all have differing tastes in music- blending so many different genres and styles of music is such a fun challenge!

Awarded Best of Zola
DJ Roman Candles was excellent! He pulled off a set that was beyond our wildest dreams. We had a brief phone meeting a week before the wedding about how we wanted the vibe to be and he pulled it off perfectly. Us and our guests were blown away by his performance. After the wedding, all of our guests were raving how awesome he was! He blended all of our requested genres. The transitions between genres and between songs were spot on! He had all of our guests up and dancing. Our wedding coordinator said he was very easy to work and communicate with. He was very organized and had all the equipment we needed. He also took care of the emcee duties and did an awesome job! He had an app we could use to upload all of our song requests. We found it very useful for organizing the songs we wanted played at each part of the night. He totally killed it and we could not imagine anyone doing better. 10/10. We can’t stop watching videos of how fun the night went! Totally recommend DJ Roman Candles for your wedding or any other events!!!

Think of me as family, as all my clients do. Since 1988 we have worked closely with couples who each have their own idea of what they want and we deliver! We are a husband and wife team. The most expensive part of any wedding or vow renewal is photography and/or video and since we personally do both, we pass the savings on to our clients. 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 also believe in prompt delivery of the finished product(s) taking a day or two, not weeks.

Aloha! Eight years ago was a very special day. Our beautiful ceremony took place on Waialae Beach in Kahala. We chose the White Roses Package, which included two leis with red and white rosebuds, we stood in a heart shaped leafy ring and our wonderful singer David Asing played his ukulele serenading us with Hawaiian Wedding Song; Kuuipo. We also released beautiful white doves out into the Hawaiian sunshine. Our hair and makeup was arranged for at our hotel on the big day and, a limousine collected us also. A truly fabulous day thanks to Leah and her husband Mike, who also took our photos and videoed the ceremony. Leah lovingly came to our rescue, when we both had a slight malfunction with our dresses!

The pre-wedding communication was easy and Mai joined us for our wedding rehearsal at the venue. On the wedding day, we worked with Mai and her second shooter Amy. They were lovely to work with and felt more like ohana than just our photographers. They captured our entire day and were so accommodating. While we anticipated our wedding photos to take some time, Mai shared a few sneak peaks and were blown away.

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. We truly felt so special to work with Ari - she is incredibly talented, detail-oriented, timely, and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I could not recommend Theel Productions enough to any couple looking for a top-notch wedding photographer.

We chose Hilton Hawaiian Village because it was a very beautiful premises and the middle ground in the spectrum of our venue choices. Simply due to factors of budget and a size of around 80 guests, building up a garden to spec from scratch or a simple restaurant wouldn't have worked for us. Working with HHV and specifically Alma Hamamoto made it super easy. We had a destination wedding coming from California and she made it super easy to plan because she knew all the right thorough questions to ask as we were sharing our vision. Even when we didn't have much of an idea, Alma was very clear about what HHV could offer. We visited once in the middle of planning and a second time the week of the wedding to clarify all the details and we knew we were in very good hands. All the staff and vendors that HHV partner with like Cover2Cover are wonderful and go the extra mile. Even when there were strikes on premises and we couldn't use the original beachfront patio we wanted for the reception, all the staff were alert and ready with a full backup plan which speaks to their profound professionalism. They were also generous to help with costs and include extra decor. You have to expect dynamic situations when planning your wedding and I'm grateful the entire team is also flexible. So we were able to have a perfect Hawaiian wedding by following a timeline and weekly checklist, having a few family and church friends help out coordinating, and working with Alma and the wonderful team there at HHV.

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.

Heyyy! I'm Brittany and I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based on Oahu. I have a passion for traveling + adventure! I will travel to any of the Hawaiian Islands and beyond to capture your special day!

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!

Hi! We are a husband and wife team of videographers/photographers. We fell in love over 11 years ago. At the same time, we fell in love with wedding photography and videography This passion is so big that we have worked in 13 countries, started planning intimate elopements, creating wedding bouquets and setups, founded our own team in Las Vegas besides Hawaii, and even owed a school of wedding photography for a couple of years. We love serving others and making their day memorable, unique, and different

These guys are great! They shot our wedding photos and video. They suggested the most amazing locations, helped structure the right schedule to capture the magical light. I loved the photos and video, especially the drone shots! Anastasia and Andrei also helped us organize our Elopement and found the best wedding minister I have ever seen. They were easy and pleasant to work with and were really supportive. I highly recommend these guys!
