Grace T Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Kailua, HI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Jasmine Brooke Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
Kailua, HI
  • 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.

Throughout my wedding process, she has proven to be trustworthy, kind, and incredibly understanding. Kylene frequently checked in with me to ensure I had all the vendor locations and details sorted out, and she offered invaluable insights about the area in Florida where I was getting married. She also had a detailed meeting with my husband and I to confirm our wishes for our day, which put me at ease because she took very detailed notes about what I wanted and envisioned on my day. Just before the wedding, Kylene confirmed the type of photography I wanted and which photos were most important to me. On the wedding day, she upheld all of my wishes and made sure my entire family felt included. Afterward, she provided a sneak peek of the photos incredibly quickly and put together an amazing album with my input. She also ensured I had access to my photos until I could download and purchase the ones I liked. I would highly recommend Kylene to anyone seeking special photos. She is truly amazing!

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.

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Kailua, HI

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.

Ollie is a fantastic photographer! He is so talented and a lot of fun to work with! The photos he took were amazing. When he takes pictures, he can transform a boring place into a spectacular one! 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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 dont know what else to say except: YOU NEED ELLA!! If you want your pictures to be lively, bright, and fun, she is the one! We worked with her for a couple months through engagement pics up until our wedding, and I just don’t have enough good things to say about her. We provably hired a different photographer for our wedding, but the vibes were off and she did not listen to my vision. Me and my husband can be awkward in front of the camera, but she directed us and told us exactly what we needed to do. Our wedding experience would not have been the same without her! She captured the exact vision that I had and then some. 100% worth every penny. Please just book her already!!

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.

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.

Mar photographed our engagement session, and from the very beginning, she was thoughtful, patient, and incredibly easy to work with. She gave us great suggestions for locations, was flexible with planning, and made the entire process feel effortless and calm. On the day of the shoot, I was feeling rushed, unprepared, and honestly not very confident. But Mar’s presence shifted everything. She made both me and my fiancé feel so comfortable and seen—even though we had never taken couples photos before. Her calm energy grounded me, and by the end of the session, I felt radiant. As a melanated woman, I’ve often worried about how my skin would be captured on camera. Mar didn’t try to lighten or alter anything—she embraced who I am. I looked like myself in the photos: natural, beautiful, and deeply loved. That meant so much to me. Mar is more than just a talented photographer—she’s someone who truly sees people. I left that day not only with stunning images, but with a full heart and deep gratitude. I can’t recommend her enough.
