Masha is an incredible photographer. As a fellow wedding photographer, finding the right person to document our colorful wedding on Maui took some time, but as soon as I talked to Masha and saw her full wedding galleries I knew she was the one! She took such care to get to know us the months leading up to the wedding and on the day made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Just a few days after our wedding she sent over the most beautiful sneak peeks. When I saw them I immediately started crying she just captured our day so beautifully!! I highly recommend Masha for her artistic eye, professionalism, attention to detail, and the care she puts into her job. She is fantastic!!

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.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!!!!! Ollie was so easy to work with and is truly an artist and master at his craft. He is excellent at coming up with not only posing ideas, but is also very artistic in taking photos of details, family and friends, and really excels in candid photos. He is able to capture the moment without it looking forced or fake, and somehow beautifully curates a wonderful variety of photos (various angles, wide, close, candid, posed). When it comes to posing, he has so many great pose ideas and is able to help you get into the pose without it feeling awkward or overly posed (to the point of superficiality). His photos also have personality and exude emotion, which is what makes his work definitely stand out from other photographers. We love his photos so much that we even got them printed in a photobook. He was a joy to work with. Very easygoing, and willing to work with you and your vision for the day. We cannot recommend him enough!!!

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.

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 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly don't even know where to begin. In less than two weeks Charina and her incredible team pulled together an absolutely breathtaking wedding, something I didn't think was possible. What could have been overwhelming and stressful turned into a calm, seamless and dreamy experience because of her and her team. From the beginning, Charina stepped in with grace, professionalism, and unmatched attention to detail. She listened to every detail and executed it. On the wedding day everything flowed so smoothly. We had no cares in the world. Her team was just so exceptional, organized, kind, responsive, and clearly passionate about what they do. You could feel how much heart they poured into making our day perfect. Izumi did my hair and makeup. I truly cannot recommend her enough. I sent her just a few inspiration photos of what i wanted and she brought every single detail to life flawlessly. I don't know how to do my own hair and makeup at all and she made absolute magic happen. She made me feel so comfortable, confident and beautiful, exceeding anything I could have imagined. June, the day of coordinator at the beach, took care of everything from the moment we arrived at the beach. She was calm, organized and completely on top of every detail. Knowing June was there allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the ceremony without worrying about a single thing. I also asked for the impossible. I asked for Plumeria flowers for my bouquet. And red plumeria flowers for our leis. June literally climbed trees for me to make this happen. Chihiro was our photographer. The photos are absolutely amazing. She captured every special moment so beautifully and naturally, allowing us to relive the day through her work. The images are stunning. The wedding was just the two of us, so we were relying on the photos to tell our story of the day, and she captured it so perfectly. Leilani was our officiant, and she was truly amazing. From the very beginning, it was clear how deeply she cared. She brought so much warmth, sincerity and heart to every word making our ceremony feel meaningful, special ,and perfect.

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.

Taylor was such a phenomenal part of our special micro-wedding! She really listened to our requests and made sure we took everyone photo we were hoping for! On another note, with our wedding being a destination I was unable to meet with Taylor before our wedding and I never once felt uncomfortable during the process. She made sure we discussed all the details and ensured me she would be able to deliver what we were dreaming of. I would highly recommend using her services even if you are dreaming of a destination wedding! We highly recommend using Taylor as your wedding photographer (you wont regret it)!

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.

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.

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.
