Aloha and congrats! You’re considering to get married on the beautiful islands of Hawai’i or beyond — your own slice of paradise! Our journey together means everything to me. 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
Both my husband and I are a bit awkward when it comes to having our photos taken, but Tâm made it incredibly easy. He came up with fun tricks to genuinely make us laugh, and we never felt uncomfortable during the whole process. During the ceremony, it was wonderful that we didn't even notice he was taking photos. It truly felt like our moment, while still capturing beautiful and genuine shots. We had an amazing day, and it's definitely reflected in the stunning photos. Thank you so much, Tâm, your photos are truly captured with passion.

My name is Lohe (low-hey) and I'm a couples and wedding photographer on Oahu. On any given day you can find me listening to Taylor Swift, reading a romance novel, and fighting the urge to buy another iced chai from Starbucks.

There aren't enough words to describe the gratitude I feel towards Lohe. I found Lohe on Instagram by chance and am so happy I did. My husband and I loved her editing and vibe. Her style fit what we were looking for in a photographer— intimate, romantic, and warm. We booked her for both our engagement photos and wedding, she was so sweet and kind and helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We love our photos, and we love her!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kylene Chapman is nothing short of exceptional, and we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. From our engagement session to my boudoir photoshoot and, of course, the wedding itself, Kylene was more than just a photographer—she became a trusted friend and a key part of our big day. One of the things that sets Kylene apart is her documentary-style approach to photography. She doesn’t just take pictures; she tells a story. She captured so many special moments I didn’t even realize were happening—small, candid moments of laughter, tears, and joy that truly reflect the emotions we were feeling. Looking back through our photos, it's amazing how she was able to freeze these intimate moments in time, making them feel so genuine and real. Kylene’s ability to make us feel at ease in front of the camera was a game changer. From the very first time we worked together during our engagement session, she had this natural way of bringing out the best in us. We felt comfortable, relaxed, and even playful, which made all of our photos look authentic and full of love. Her energy and encouragement were contagious, and she was truly our personal hype girl throughout the entire process. What really stood out was Kylene’s thoughtfulness and dedication to her craft. Not only did she travel all the way from her home in Hawaii to Dahlonega, Georgia, to capture our wedding, but she also went above and beyond in every way. Within just two days of our wedding, she sent us over 100 sneak peek photos, which was such a wonderful surprise and made the wait for the full gallery even more exciting! On the wedding day itself, Kylene was incredibly organized, flexible, and professional, seamlessly guiding us through our timeline while also being there when we needed an extra hand or just a moment to breathe. She was always in the right place at the right time, capturing both the big moments and the quiet ones in a way that felt natural and unobtrusive. We never felt rushed or stressed, which made the entire day so much more enjoyable. Kylene is a true artist, and her photography isn’t just about capturing pictures—it’s about telling a story. Her work is emotional, authentic, and breathtaking. We could not be more thankful for the beautiful memories she has given us. If you’re looking for a photographer who will capture the real, raw moments of your wedding day with incredible talent and heart, look no further. Book with Kylene NEEEOWWWW!!!! Also, her website, the guidebooks she sends to clients, and everything she touches is evidence of the professionalism and craftsmanship that she puts into her work. Just take a look around her website for 5 minutes, by seeing how much time you THINK went into that website, think about how much time she puts into each of her clients.

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.

From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive and provided us with so much inspiration and guidance to help us plan the perfect day. Their team, including Hannah and Mike, were dedicated and fantastic. They captured our wedding in the most candid and romantic way. They helped us plan the flow of the day by contributing feedback and building the schedule, and we even got special moments, like a pair of bunnies that photobombed our engagement shoot! We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience and would highly recommend Grace T Photography to any couple looking for a talented and personable team to capture their special day.

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.

My husband and I were traveling to Maui for our 4 year anniversary and we were looking for adventure photos to document our trip. I searched and searched and finally found Taylor and immediately knew I HAD to book with her. The entire experience was fantastic. She was extremely professional but also super personable, my husband and I immediately felt comfortable with her. We trusted her every second of the experience- from asking what outfit would look best, to whatever location she thought would be best, and then went in to the session with no expectations other than to let her do what she does best. And I just have to say, Taylor does more than just capture images she captures absolute art. The images from this trip are images we are going to cherish for the rest of our lives! I'm already trying to plan another trip to Hawaii just so we can work with Taylor again.

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.

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!

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.

Harold with Alvea Studios is by far one of the kindest, most professional, and fast working photographers and videographers I've ever had the opportunity to work with! When I initially reached out to Harold for videography, he not only responded super quickly but was also able to listen and HEAR what my dreams and visions were of my big day. My wife and I eloped on Oahu and Harold not only delivered the most stunning images as a photographer, but went even further to deliver the most heartwarming elopement ever. Even when I show my friends, the always tear up. When I sit in the quiet moments of life and want to sit back and reminisce of Hawaii and the love that I share with my wife, I watch the video that Alvea Studios made for us. It's perfectly cinematic. It makes me feel like my love story is worth being seen and that it's perfect and beautiful. Not only that, but the cinematic and storytelling way that Harold captured both of us makes me feel like not only is our love story uniquely ours (which he captures perfectly) but also that it's something epic and truly a romance for the ages. Every time I know someone is going to Hawaii for a wedding, an elopement, or even a vow renewal, I ALWAYS refer Harold and Alvea Studios. His attention to detail is beyond measure and I cannot thank him enough for creating the perfect memories for my wife and I to share and cherish for the rest of our lives. And for those of you wondering if you should invest in a videographer, I can tell you that photos are great but video hits different. And if you want to look back in 1 year, 10 years, in 100 years and show your love story for how it actually is--which is a lifetime romance of the ages, videography with Alvea Studios is the way to go. Please, go and book him now. You won't regret a single moment. I'm eternally grateful to Harold and his team for creating this masterpiece of an intimate and perfect moment that stands still in time forever.

Hi there! My name is Alexandra but I go by Alex. I have a lot of energy and I'm a go-getter. I love capturing and preserving memories, I love helping people to smile and enjoy themselves, and I love meeting new people. Being in front of a camera is not easy but my job is to make it as painless and normal as possible and hopefully you will pay more attention to where we are and who you are with than what we are doing. My goal is to work with my clients time and time again, to document the different stages of their life- so hopefully this isn't a one time deal because I'm here for the long haul if you want me!

Alex was the BEST! She was an amazing friend to begin with, and a great photographer for my wedding. I chose her because I looked at her previous work and it was exactly what I wanted. She pays attention to detail and makes sure to photograph in the perfect spot, with the right lighting, and make it fun all at the same time. I enjoyed her company on my wedding day. I feel like it makes a big difference in your mood going into the ceremony. I’d highly recommend her to anyone getting married!!

My name is Amy Lee and I'm excited to share a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Taiwan and later spent four years living in Japan, which is how I became fluent in Mandarin and Japanese besides English. Now based in Hawaii, I'm fortunate enough to call this beautiful place home. When I'm not behind the camera, you can usually find me indulging in one of my many hobbies. I love coffee, snowboarding, and traveling - in fact, my goal is to visit at least two new countries each year! If you're planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement shoot in a far-off destination, count me in.

Amy M. Lee Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Her communication style was mapped out, flexible, and thorough, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of her work and value was exceptional - she captured our energy in a calculated yet laid back way, allowing us to just be ourselves in front of the camera. Amy made everything easy while we were photographed, directing us with short, precise cues that lead to natural, candid moments. We highly recommend Amy to anyone for an experienced, professional photographer who will help make your special day unforgettable!
