Karen Loudon Photography
Kailua Kona, HI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,175

I wouldn’t trade my job for anything. It’s a huge honor and privilege to photograph passionate celebrations between families and friends. My clients let me into their personal space and trust me to document with honesty and grace their deepest emotions: their love, their tears, their laughs, and their fears. For this I am grateful beyond words. While weddings are 90 percent of my work, they are not all of my work — and honestly, I think that’s a good thing. Shooting families & children keeps me inspired and allows me to see the world differently, which plays into how I document events

Born and raised in Hawaii, and now raising my own ohana here on the Big Island of Hawaii. I am a mother to two beautiful, sassy, little girls, Maia and Naomi. Every day they motivate me to keep striving to better myself as a person, mother, and entrepreneur. I love being near the ocean or out in nature and that love translates into my photography, incorporating the elements like water or wind to create beautiful images for you.

Aloha! We’re Ryan + Corinne Priest, a husband and wife adventure elopement photographer duo that’s based in Hawaii! We’ve been living within the islands for the past 8 years and have absolutely fallen in love with this beautiful slice of paradise!

We want to make you feel like your adventuring around Hawaii with good friends who happen to take epic photos along your journey getting married!

If I could put 6 stars, I would. I can't recommend Ryan Corinne enough. The entire process was a stress-free breeze because of them. They helped and communicated with us through every step of the way and made everything so so so incredibly easy!!! They even handled the communication and coordination with our videographer which was a huge relief. They met and exceeded our expectations. We were graced with Ryan's presence on our big day. He is so awesome! From the first moment of meeting him it's like you've already been friends for years. He's cool, calm, and collected. My husband, who is very reserved and introverted, stopped and told me three different times on our wedding day how impressed he was with Ryan and was so happy we made the decision to do an adventure elopement with them. Doesn't sound like much, but that was the highest praise! Ryan truly made our day better because of how easy and great he was to work with. We love our photos and have received non-stop compliments and high praise about them. Several "these are the most stunning wedding photos I've ever seen" and I'd have to agree. If you're considering booking with Ryan Corinne, do it. You will not regret it. 3

Kealakekua, HI
  • Classic style

Originally from Chicago, I grew up with my mother taking our photos. When I got to be a bit older I started to appreciate those photos and the lifetime memories they captured. I started taking photos for friend's events and gifting my photos at holidays. I was also a middle school teacher for 12 years and also coached the cross country team. I would take photos for the families and eventually blessed to be able to have photography be my full time gig. I love capturing beauty in others that they may not always see in themselves and at once in a lifetime events they can remember; not only the event but the emotions present there.

    Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song.

As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

    I had the pleasure to work with Jess for my engagement session and wedding in 2021! I think the best way for me to share exactly how I felt about Jess’ work is to share the text I sent her when I got the first look at my wedding gallery & slideshow. “My face hurts from smiling so hard during my slideshow! I am so so happy!!!! I was afraid I would regret not getting a videographer, but the awesome slideshow totally took its place and I am so happy with it! The photos turned out beautifully, so vibrant but also romantic and moody! Thank you so much for capturing the most important day of our lives (so far!) in such a playful, gorgeous, charming, sentimental, brilliant way! You are truly the best!!! ” After receiving all of my beautiful photos, Jess came to me with the opportunity to create a custom album as well. From the cover, to the spine, to the fonts, Jess made the album completely custom and like absolutely no other. She took me out for coffee to pick up my album and look through it for the first time. I absolutely could not have been happier seeing my photos in front of me, not on a screen! I was flipping through and reading a literal story book of our amazing day! I could not recommend an album enough. Overall, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Jess, she’s dependable, creative, and produces the most beautiful content. Not to mention she’s so sweet, chill, and was a pleasure to have around! Thank you so much Jess for everything!

I have a home in Lansing and Holland and I travel all over Michigan capturing my clients from Lansing to Grand Rapids to the west coast of Lake Michigan to northern Michigan, Mackinac Island and Traverse City to areas of Detroit! I also have condo access in Clearwater, FL and Breckenridge, CO. This allows me to be local to multiple places and states! This career is so much more than just showing up and taking photos. It's emotion, it's detail, it's getting to know my clients and capturing each of them uniquely.

    Dani not only helped us find our elopement spot in Colorado but she was so helpful in structuring our plans. We had our air bnb for a week and she had flowers and photos placed in there to make us feel at home. It was so sweet. She had a changing tent for me to change into after we hiked to our elopement spot. After we were married we ran around the mountains taking photos and we felt so happy and comfortable! The icing on the cake, the photos turned out AMAZING!!!! She is stuck with us forever as our photographer! Hire her!!!

Our wedding day was honestly a blur, but everything that I or my husband could have ever wanted was captured, and I’m able to look back and relive one of the best days of my life over and over again.

    I have admired Steve's beautiful work for years! He has an artistic style that is uniquely his and that comes to him so naturally after years of honing his craft. He has an eye for things that most people wouldn't have seen. I've had the pleasure of getting to work with him several times now and he's so kind and has such a calming presence which is exactly what you want from your wedding photographer/videographer! I'm currently helping my sister plan her wedding and when she got engaged he was the first vendor I sent to her to look at. She was blown away, as I knew she would be, by his work and loved how his wedding videos felt so natural, candid, and also didn't look like every other wedding video. His ability to tell a story both in photograph and video is remarkable. As a wedding photographer, if I had to redo my wedding day, I would without a doubt have Steve there to capture it.

    I have been photographing weddings for 12 years and I love every second of it! I live in the Hudson Valley, but I travel all over the world for weddings. I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

    Jordan is freaking amazing and was such an awesome person to work with on our wedding day! We booked an engagement shoot with her a year out before our wedding and as soon as we met her we knew she was the one we would hire for our wedding. First of all she is so nice and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session, my husband and I never took professional photos before but she guided us through and even with our silliness and laughing the photos came out so incredible. Fast forward to 10.29.23 our wedding day Jordan was a rockstar, we had a jam packed day with two ceremonies and she literally was able to capture all the key photos we wanted, we got so many different vibes and I cannot be more happy with how our day went. When it started to rain we got amazing photos indoors and when we were outside she knew all the right spots to capture amazing photos. Jordan is such a great person to have around and is so easy to work with, I highly recommend her to everyone! (My best friend & MOH just booked Jordan for her 2025 wedding!)

    I've had a camera in my hands for as long as I can remember; I used it like a pocket journal of sorts and photographed constantly while growing up in Hawai'i. I fell into weddings when my dad remarried in 2013, and I remember being caught off guard by the swirl of emotions I felt standing at the edge of a new beginning. Turning those feelings into tangible memories was the only thing that made sense. I moved to New York City to refine my skillset and took a detour into the fashion industry before receiving my Bachelor's in photography from NYU.

On the wedding day, her professional expertise shone through. They were organized, attentive, and seamlessly blended into the background, capturing moments without being intrusive.

    Grace shot our April 2019 wedding in Hawaii on Oahu. We found Grace through a friend of ours and we immediately started following her on Instagram. The quality and look of her images were stunning. We wanted a photographer who was experienced and specialized in smaller, more intimate ceremonies, and we knew she fit the bill, but we really felt at ease after our first call. It’s hard to know where to start in looking for a photographer, but I loved that she was from the midwest (we are too) and was still so confident in shooting in different climates. She just made us feel so comfortable and we really felt like she knew what we wanted before we could even really articulate it. I was really struggling with the timeline, but Grace was so helpful in ensuring we had time for the photos we wanted. She was always so responsive and we felt very guided through the whole process. Our photos are BREATHTAKING and they are still getting all compliments and we’re coming up on five years! I remember the NIGHT OF the wedding, Grace had already sent over some sneak peeks and that just meant the world. It was just an amazing experience working and collaborating with Grace from start to finish. And even to this day, we keep in touch. She has done another adventure session with us and her team member shot my Aunt and Uncle’s vow renewal. So, I obviously recommend her as she very well may be taking all of our professional photos for the foreseeable future :)

    I love capturing precious memories for couples on their special day and showing their love story throughout the photography coverage. I began my photography journey in 2015 after I had my daughter. Growing up I used to dislike having my photos taken because I always felt uncomfortable in the photos. Raise your hand if you can relate! My biggest goal is to make my clients comfortable and provide a positive experience. I want my clients to frame my finished work and art in their homes and be proud of their photos.

    I’ve been able to work with Irina in four occasions and she’s just wow… she’s very on top of this, her work is neat and gorgeous, and it seems like brides and clients love her too.

    CLY BY MATTHEW has evolved at year 2004 from fashion, portrait and still life photography to the wonderful world of wedding photography, which incorporates all three genres. We follow a non-intrusive photojournalistic style for your weddings, which our clients (and their guests) very much appreciate. We concentrate not only on the big picture, but also we take pride in capturing the sincere fleeting moments that evoke the senses the very essence of photography.

    Where do I start…I have so many things to praise about Matthew and his team at CLY by Matthew. The search for our photographer took forever, but once I found CLY and Matthew’s work, it was essentially an instantaneous decision. I left the intro meeting/conversation 100% sure we’d hire him. His and his team’s photography is beautiful, elegant, classic, and natural – and it was so easy to work with them from a fit and personality standpoint. I’ll admit, it’s a little awkward to pose for photography! But in the months leading up, and the day of, the wedding, Matthew and his team made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. Matthew is one of the kindest people ever, and his calm demeanor made everything so pleasant and easy (especially with the frantic nature of wedding planning!) We are in LOVE with the photos we got back. We still can’t even believe it’s us, and our wedding, because the CLY team captured everything so amazingly. It’s surreal! We are so lucky to have found them and worked with Matthew. I’m hoping to find an excuse in the future to work with him again for professional photography. If you’re here and in the middle of researching photographers, stop reading and contact CLY immediately. You won’t regret it, I promise you.

    Photography is an artistic escape I love to have fun with! I enjoy meeting new people and stepping into their lives while capturing the love is something that sparked my joy. Photography has been a full time passion of mine since I picked up a camera in 2017. I love spending most of my time out doors in nature so I've kind of got the whole location scouting down to a 'T'. Let's go somewhere beautiful and make some memories.

    5 stars honestly doesn't begin to capture our experience working with Emily. I reached out to various photographers in Maui in our search for the right fit to capture our elopement. As soon as I heard back from Emily we both knew she was the perfect fit. She totally understood our vision for an intimate, fun "adventure elopement" and she led us to a couple locations for our shoot that were UNREAL.. in addition to that she was more than happy to give hair/outfit recommendations and help us find the perfect hair/makeup artist, officiant, etc and we ended up with an absolute DREAM TEAM for our day. Our trip to Maui was met with some severe weather which wouldn't have permitted outdoor photos (talking torrential downpour and flooding) and Emily handled the situation with the utmost professionalism, calling us with her recommendations and actually rescheduling our elopement for another day she was able to clear her schedule, which was such a relief. When we FINALLY made it to our elopement day, our photo shoot was an absolute blast!! Emily instantly made us feel so comfortable despite my wife being someone who hates taking photos. Instead of setting up awkward forced prom poses she let us have fun and be ourselves and would provide just enough guidance like "move this arm here, take a step this way, or drop the bouquet down a bit" so we felt like we knew what we were doing. Lastly, the PHOTOS! OMG! Not only was the turnaround time fast, the photos easy to access and downloading very easy, but the photos were STUNNING. Like, we gawked at them for hours and can't even decide which ones to print because they're all so fantastic. Her touchups are subtle and true to color, no dramatic or obvious editing. The locations looked like something out of a fairytale, and she captured our natural poses and movements so well that you can truly see our happiness and glow in every photo Emily is friendly, easy-going, flexible, organized, professional, and WILDLY talented and if you're reading this rather lengthy review just book her now before she's booked up! (Not to mention her pricing is very reasonable, especially for the location)

We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

    Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

    I found my way behind the camera after years of art directing in the fashion industry in NYC. I always loved photography as it captures a moment in time, frozen forever. Taking my knowledge & experience from my fashion days, mixing it with my love for romance, love & art I made the leap to weddings. I photograph film in which I believe that is has a romantic dreamy elegance that only film can capture. I’m based in Honolulu,Hawaii, and I love to travel. Exploring the world to learn about new cultures, meet new people, get lost in a museum and drive the countrysides taking in the sublime sceneries around brings me joy.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    The photos we have previewed so far, have turned out perfect. For our wedding day, it was stress free and flowed seamlessly, which if you have a big family (or party) is significant especially since you need to corral them for photos. She met with us beforehand to make sure we were able to get everything we wanted from our special day. The day of, she helped us move our pictures along (while still taking breathtaking photos by the way, one of them is going to be life sized on our wall) so that we could really enjoy our wedding. We still cannot believe how perfect our wedding was and cannot thank her enough for capturing it. Mahalo nui loa!! (Thank you very much)

    I am a creative and passionate Elopement and Wedding Photographer who captures the moments you will look back on for a lifetime. Those raw, authentic, candid, just as they happened moments. These are the memories you will cherish and pass down through your family, to your children, and grandchildren. The memories you will print and hang up on your walls turning your house into a home. The moments you cannot re-live, but you can re-visit with each photograph. These are the cherished memories and moments I capture for you, and your loved ones.

    Candance was extremely professional throughout the entire process of hiring her for our day. I was extremely stressed out and she offered help with the location and was extremely knowledgeable when it came to when we should plan around. We always knew we wanted a small intimate moment just for us, and she made it a moment that was uninterrupted, but that we could share with those who were not there. She helped with location, and timing, and knew everything to do with when the weather-wise would work best for what we wanted. She listened to us and was extremely friendly. The session was fun, and she guided us through everything in a way that didn't make us feel like we were in a photo shoot but a fun moment of our lives that we will cherish forever. The memories we have on film will last forever and cannot thank her enough for capturing these moments for us. If you are looking for a photographer who will listen to you, treat you with respect and make your day magical, don't even look at other photographers, Candance is exceptional at what she does and will make your day perfect.

    A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

    We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

    Hi lovers! My name is Mina, and I am born and raised here on the island of Oʻahu. I picked up the camera a few years ago as a hobby, and when asked to shoot a friend of a friend's wedding as a senior in high school, I fell in love with the biz even though I didn't know what the heck I was doing. Fast forward 3.5 years later and I am still in the game! As a couple's photographer, I am here to serve you as a couple and capture your day and your love as authentically as I can! I am here for the laughs, the hugs, the forehead kisses - I am here for all the memz - the messy and the beautiful ♡

    Reese's lover with huge ambitions and a fire under my feet. Quite literally! I have a Bachelor's degree in business, and I'm not just some girl with a camera: I'm an auntie to three amazing boys, a club volleyball coach (after playing college Volleyball!), a follower of Christ, and a world-class adventurer. That's right, I love traveling and the only thing that would make traveling more fun is having YOU in front of my camera. I'm seriously down to adventure anywhere! ​

    Kaitlyn was great! We had some funky family dynamics and she knew exactly how to deal with them. She was great at helping facilitate at the venue and worked well with the coordinator so the day was smooth. I only have some of my photos back since the event was two weeks ago but what I got back looks amazing! 100% satisfied!

    I'm a photographer who specializes in 35mm and medium format film photography. I also offer digital photography and am typically shooting both on a wedding day. My inspiration comes from organic moments, perfectly imperfect details, finding beauty in simplicity, and natural, modern and creative environments. I find that I thrive most when I get to work with couples who are so involved in the moment, they don’t care much about a wrinkle in their dress or a misplaced hair.

    Once we got Marci on board, I felt immediately at ease about the wedding. I knew that, no matter what happened, no matter what details about the day wouldn't go perfectly, we would have great photos and the end of it all. She offered so much of herself before the actual date to check in with us and make sure we could talk about anything we wanted on the day. I love how everything she does feels intimate, natural, and captures the 2 people just as they are. I highly recommend booking Mars Takes Photos for your special day.

    My style leans towards the editorial and documentary style and I am passionate about capturing moments as they unfold. My goal is to make you feel your best in front of the camera using posing prompts. This allows your photos to really represent you. I know that you are putting so much thought and care into every detail, and your gallery will hold all those memories to last a lifetime. I have a passion for travel and am happy to follow you to your dream destination. I look forward to connecting with you and making your wedding day everything you want it to be.

    After our engagement shoot with Heather I was immediately so relieved that I had booked her as my wedding photographer. She’s so easy going, funny, and transparent! Heather made us a mood board to capture the vibe of our engagement shoot, spent so much time posing us and researching locations for the shoot. She was so easy to get along with and knew exactly what I wanted! She sent my previews (so many!) the next day and I was in tears with how gorgeous they were. The photos sparked a new excitement for wedding planning for me, and I really can’t stop looking at them! Do not hesitate booking Heather. She will make you feel beautiful, comfortable, and confident! Book her!
