Jessica was absolutely amazing and we are incredibly pleased with our decision to use her as our engagement and wedding photographer! She was a great communicator who went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding day went smoothly. Jessica being so organized and on top of things made our wedding experience much less stressful than it otherwise would have been. Neither my husband or I are super comfortable in front of a camera, but Jessica’s directions and attitude put us at ease and made for a very enjoyable experience. Our wedding day went just according to plan, and so so much of that credit goes to Jessica! Taking everything we had spoken about into consideration, she put a wedding day timeline together for us; that was a huge stress relief! Jessica was amazing leading up to the wedding and I couldn’t of been any more pleased. I had so much confidence in Jessica leading up to the wedding day, and she did not disappoint! She was organized, had a plan, and followed it just as we had discussed. When hiccups arose, she was a calming presence who quickly adapted and made the absolute best out of the situation. Now, on to the photos! Jessica is a remarkably talented photographer who captured our wedding day better than we could have imagined. The photos all turned out so good and she was able to capture so many moments that we, as the bride and groom, were not able to witness in the moment. Our couples portraits, wedding party photos, and family photos were stunning. We are also so incredibly grateful for Jessica taking the time to photograph our guests during the reception. She was able to capture every moment with such authenticity; we love to look back at the photos and relive the day. I would whole-heartedly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!!

Sarah Peterson Photography

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,888
  • Serves Kailua, HI

I'm a Bay Area native with over 12 years in the commercial photography realm. I got my start on the beaches of Los Angeles back in 2012 shooting commercial swimwear campaigns for some of the best designers in swim and fashion. That opened the door to countless opportunities with modeling agencies, reality television, and fashion design. In 2018 I made the move back up north to San Francisco where I grew up. With a wide network of friends and family up here, I found myself catapulted into the Wedding and Elopement industry - and absolutely loved it! I'm honored when I get to be a part of one of the best days of a couple's life together.

Working with Sarah was enjoyable and easy! As someone who usually does not like taking photos, Sarah made the process easy and comfortable. She got all the shots we had discussed in advance and captured every special moment. Her rustic editing style was exactly what I was looking for and really highlighted our flowers, centerpieces, and color scheme. Can't recommend Sarah enough!

Grace T Photography

5.0

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.

Booking Grace T Photography was the single best wedding planning decision I made and I would do it again in an instant. From our first conversation to the most recent, everything was seamless. Going in, I knew her photography was perfection. What I was not expecting to receive was 800 flawless photos just from our wedding day alone, not to mention the adventure session (which she went above and beyond for) and engagement session. Her photo style captures so much EMOTION and viewing them takes us right back to the day. She also made getting photos taken fun! I couldn't help but laugh during our entire engagement session at how much fun my (now) husband was having (he typically dislikes taking even 1 photo). Additionally, I cannot get over Grace’s service. Grace has a relaxed vibe about her while remaining 1000% on top of everything. It is contagious and it put even my ever racing mind to ease. It allowed me to be SO much more present on our wedding day and for that I will FOREVER be grateful. I appreciate Grace allowing me to put complete trust in her and continuing to do laps around my already high expectations. Did I mention that this was all while Grace and Kyle received the most devasting family news on the morning of our wedding (which I had no clue about until later)? Their selflessness seriously bring tears to my eyes. Thank you, Grace & Kyle. Seriously. You will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Aloha all! I am Kristen Iwalani and I am extraordinarily ordinary. What I mean is, I am just an everyday girl from Hawaii who loves to talk story and make connections with those I am lucky to meet and photograph. My hope is that our time together feels like a date with me third-wheeling... camera in hand. I love making this process easy and will show up for all your questions and preparations. My goal is to make your time with me a fun and memorable experience while also delivering some kick-a$$ photos.

Kristen was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Even before the event, she was eager to get to know us on a personal level and we now call her a friend! Weeks before the event, she sent us a very detailed questionnaire to make sure she captured everything we wanted for our wedding. On the day of the event, she was professional, flexible with schedule changes, and went above & beyond our expectations. Our pictures were natural and authentic which is exactly how we wanted it! 100% recommend. I would choose Kristen over and over again!

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!

As a photographer myself, I am extremely picky with who I ask to take my photos. I was absolutely floored with Brittany's communication, execution, and final product. She went above and beyond to make my awkwardness look cute, and is the kindest person I have met.

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.

I am a local, born and raised kamaʻaina of the island of Oʻahu. As a teenager and into adulthood, I fantasized about being a wedding photographer. Today, I get to live and share my pipe dream with amazing people right here in my island home in Hawaii. Your Big Day is as special as you are, as individuals, as a couple, and as a growing family. I have come to find my purpose in helping people highlight what glows about them.

Kristie is such an amazing photographer. She is so professional, yet flexible and goes above and beyond to accommodate her clients to make their special day even more special. She is someone who really makes her clients feel comfortable in every aspect of the shoot. My husband, who isn't one for having his photo taken, was able to relax and (with the help of our incredible photographer) take the best photos that we've taken to date! She not only meets the needs of her clients, but by far exceeds your expectations!! We eloped last minute and she was able to arrange a time with me to be able to capture our special day, which I will always be grateful for. The experience with which she directed not only us, but our family, made the shoot that much more amazing. She made us feel like family and ensured that we got the best of the best out of our day. Thank you so much, Kristie! We will definitely be booking with you again for any future events and special occasions!

Our clients are individuals who are fascinating in many ways. Their love stories bring us laughter and move us to tears. They are living proof that love is still a thing in these crazy times. Here at Alvea Studios, we won't provide you with just photographs, but with tiny memories capsules. We will make sure that you are happy with the results not only after the shoot, but for many years to come.

We hired Alvea Studios to take our first maternity photo shoot back in 2019, both my husband and I were expecting our first baby! We got to choose the location to have our shoot and both Abbie and Harold made both my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable. We are ones to not take pictures but I knew this was a milestone in our life we wanted to remember, I left having fun and it was the utmost positive experience we’ve ever experienced! Both were 100% professional, accommodating and captured every moment. After seeing the final product of pictures we were incredibly happy as it came out perfect! Something for my son to see when he gets older. They both were so awesome we also ended up hiring them to do my engagement photos in the summer of 2019 as well after my son was born! They even made a wedding teaser video for me, which came out awesome! Harold and Abbie have a gifted talent, to capture a moment in time with their photography I’ve never seen before with past professional family photos taken when I was a child. In the end I hired them for my wedding, my second maternity shoot back in 2021 and the last two years for our holiday Christmas cards. Consider them for any event you may have, both again are extremely professional and great at what they do!

these are the values that drive my biz: you are allowed to be YOU: this is a space that was created out of a ferocious desire to give the permission for you to be fully and fearlessly you. this is a space where you are wanted for being exactly YOU. embrace the ordinary: there is truly nothing better than right here, right now: the present moment is the sacred ground that holds all of who you may be, but more importantly, who you are right. now. be curious: the most beautiful things in life lay in the listening. we are surrounded by beauty, wisdom, groundedness, genius, love… if only we will listen.

It was so easy to work with Marissa, from beginning to the end. We don't know how to pose and don't often take photos, but Marissa knew how to direct us and made us feel super comfortable. We love ALL of our photos, which is so rare. I never heard of a bride who loved every single shot their photographer took. We should have hired her for our engagement photos, but oh well. We'll be sure to hire her for all our photos because we love her and her work so much.
