I’m a published fine-art wedding photographer specializing in editorial, destination weddings across Hawaiʻi and California. My work blends cinematic landscapes, film-inspired tones, and genuine, unscripted moments to create timeless imagery that feels both refined and deeply personal. With a calm, unobtrusive approach, I allow couples to fully experience their day while I document both the grand celebrations and the quiet, meaningful details in between. From sun-washed coastal ceremonies to elegant estate weddings, my focus is always on creating photographs that feel as powerful decades from now as they do today.

Carol was the best photographer a bride could ever ask for! Her and her second shooter Mohammed, made the day so much fun and really captured the most amazing shots of our special day. Even the guys had fun! She is so talented and it was so fun to share in her creative process and be her muse. My husband and I are so in love with the images and album - everything exceeded our expectations! She was professional, skilled, reliable and so loving. She also knew how to be direct and take charge in a crowd, which is always a plus. She captured the nature and spirt of the day perfectly, we felt like royalty. I can't wait to book her for many, many more special moments in our lifetime together!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
