Katelyn Servedio Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Waianae, HI

My name is Katelyn, I’m 26, and I’m based out of the Portland, Oregon area! I am beautifully, unapologetically, and loudly queer, and my pronouns are she/her. On any given day, you can find me meditating and reading by the water somewhere. I’m deeply into all things spiritual—moon phases, energy work, astrology, you name it—and I try to bring that sense of intention and magic into everything I do. Photography has been my outlet, my healing space and my rebellion for as long as i can remember. But I am inspired by all forms of art. I write poetry, I paint, I make pottery. I love making playlists.

Ok do you want someone where your family assumes your photographer is a close personal friend of yours on your wedding day? Because if you do, Katelyn is the professional photographer that you need in your life. My family and I quote was “so impressed with the quality and depth of emotion” she caught in our pictures for our wedding day. My photographer friend was absolutely blown away by her quality of photos she provided. As the bride I couldn't have been more happy the day of, I felt heard during the entire process and taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better presence on our big day. Thank you so much for your passion and piece of your art to be with us forever more.

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.

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.

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.

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!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Alex for our wedding. From start to finish, she was professional, attentive, and a joy to work with. She captured our day beautifully. The photos are absolutely stunning and they truly tell the story of our day. We’ll cherish them for years to come. She is an incredibly talented photographer! Not only is her work fantastic, but her friendly personality made us feel at ease on such an intense day! We can’t recommend Alex enough. Her eye for detail and ability to capture genuine emotion is something really special. Thank you again for giving us memories we will always cherish!
