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!

She was detail-driven, resourceful and unshakably calm, handling every tiny blunder with such grace that no one even noticed.

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 is pure MAGIC! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Grace for our engagement photos and our wedding day - She came highly recommended from trusted friends and when you see her work, it's easy to understand why! Grace is attentive, warm, inviting. She truly makes you feel 100% comfortable being in front of the camera which is not a small feat. 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!

Kailua, HI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I'm Jasmine, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Kailua, Hawaii, with over ten years of island living and a passport that stays busy. My style lives at the intersection of photojournalism and nature editorial. I shoot what is actually happening, the real tears, the stolen glances, the chaotic in-between moments, in places that make the photos extraordinary. I cover proposals, elopements, micro weddings, and full wedding days across Hawaii, US National Parks, and destinations worldwide including Europe, Canada, and Australia. I believe a wedding photo should transport you right back to that moment every single time you look at it.

Jasmine was an absolute pleasure to work with for our special day. From the moment we first reached out, she was prompt in her communication, clearly knowledgeable about her craft, and incredibly understanding of our needs and preferences. Her attention to detail and thoughtful approach shone through in the amazing final photos, which beautifully captured all the special moments of our day. Jasmine made us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process, and was incredibly accommodating to ensure we got all the shots we wanted. The whole experience was just wonderful, and the pictures turned out great - we will cherish them forever.

Because of Loulu Palm Farms, Nickie and Ashley I able to plan and my husband and I were able to host and give our daughter her dream wedding. The day was even more magical then any of us could have imagined! The day would not have been possible without the beauty of Loulu Palm Farms , Nickie and Ashley. Their patience and guidance were invaluable in planning every step of the way, all while I was here in Michigan and the bride in Australia. Both Nickie and Ashley bring a calming presence (which as the mother of the bride I always needed) making the planning and the day of the wedding perfect and fun! They were always quick to get back with me on every little question big or small or any changes. From the very moment we started working together both myself and my daughter felt they genuinely cared about making everything perfect! Ashley went above and beyond on several occasions. The day before the wedding she saved the groom because of some cufflinks missing! On the day of the wedding my daughters bustle did not hold up and she was right there with safety pins, calmly and expertly fixing it without missing a beat. As a matter of fact, I did not know until after the fact that this even happened. Throughout the entire wedding I was able to have an amazing time as well as my daughter because we knew Ashley had everything handled! More guests than I can count kept coming up to my husband and I and the bride and groom telling us again and again that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they had ever attended! Do not hesitate for a moment if you want the most beautiful venue and the best wedding planner book Loulu Farms with Nickie and the best coordinator ever, Ashley!

Awarded Best of Zola
We have enjoyed working with Kylene over the years, and having her as our wedding photographer was the obvious choice! From the time of our first shoot with her years ago to now, she continues to put us completely at ease with her warm, friendly demeanor. Her documentary-style approach was exactly what we wanted for our wedding—she captured every emotion, every detail, and every special moment without ever feeling intrusive. One of the things we loved most was how perfectly her style matched the vibe and aesthetic of the different parts of the day. It felt like she truly understood our vision and brought it to life through her photos. Every image reflects the atmosphere and energy of the day so beautifully, as if her work was designed specifically for our celebration. Her ability to tell a story through her lens is unmatched. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. She has such an eye for candid moments, and every shot feels so authentic and full of life. Not only is she extraordinarily talented, but she also made the entire process so enjoyable. She guided us gently when needed, but most of the time, we didn’t even notice she was there—yet somehow, she captured it all! We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a photographer who will exceed every expectation. She’s not just a photographer; she’s an artist, and we feel so lucky to have had her be part of our big day and all of our big life moments

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.

I was in tears the next day with gratitude. We are so grateful for their incredible service.

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!

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!

He even dressed up for the occasion! I will never forget how he was wearing a really nice suit on my wedding day. Really made an impression! He's very chill and very understanding. He's also very helpful, suggesting ideas for posing and where to place your hands (I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had this issue), and he makes the photo session so much fun. He will make you feel like it's just another ordinary day, so you will not feel any pressure. Ollie does not treat you like a client. He treats you like a friend, so the whole session is smooth, fun, chill, and memorable. Ollie is highly recommended, and I would definitely hire him again for any future occasions that require a photographer. If you really want someone to capture your moment, Ollie is your man!

The setting is absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by lush greenery, sweeping views, and a peaceful, romantic atmosphere.

What truly made our experience unforgettable was the incredible team behind it all. Ronda and the entire Sunset Ranch Ohana were amazing to work with. They were kind, organized, and so genuine in making sure everything went smoothly.

Jen did my hair and makeup for my Indian/traditional wedding and I could not have been happier. I was very stressed about my wedding because I did not know what to expect and it was very large being an Indian wedding. I also was changing from a traditional Indian dress to a white wedding dress during the reception and I wanted my hair to change as well. Jen stayed as a guest for the wedding and helped me redue my hair for the new dress as well as change which was not easy at my venue.

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!

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!!!

I can't thank David and Charina enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! From the moment we first connected, Charina made everything so easy with her clear communication and kindness. She really listened to what we wanted and made us feel completely at ease throughout the process. On the wedding day, David was so professional yet warm—he blended right in, captured all the little details and emotions, and never made us feel staged or uncomfortable. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, and Charina's editing brought them to life in such a timeless and elegant way. We originally planned to pick just 60 photos, but the entire album was so beautiful that we ended up purchasing the whole thing—it was impossible to choose! We are beyond happy with our wedding gallery and will treasure these memories forever. If you're looking for a team that truly cares about their couples and delivers incredible results, David and Charina are the perfect choice! - Arriane

June and her team made our wedding day truly special. From the very beginning, June was attentive, and incredibly responsive. She always made sure Brittany and I felt heard and supported, taking the time to understand our vision and helping bring it to life. Her team was warm, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making our day meaningful. June and Debbie were thoughtful, reliable, detail-oriented, and supportive throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, they made sure everything was perfectly set up and running smoothly so Brittany and I could stay present and enjoy every moment. They even helped take care of our pups, who were part of the ceremony, which meant so much to us. We’re so grateful for their care, kindness, and dedication. If you’re planning your wedding, we would highly recommend June and her team.
