I cannot say enough wonderful things about Victoria. My husband is very shy and hates taking pictures. Not only did she make him feel comfortable, she captured his joy and good nature. Everything felt natural and real which is what we were hoping to have captured for our wedding day. She captured his essence, all that I love about him and us. Even the fun “staged” photos came out great. I would recommend her a thousand times over.

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
We have enjoyed working with Kylene over the years, and having her as our wedding photographer was the obvious choice! From the time of our first shoot with her years ago to now, she continues to put us completely at ease with her warm, friendly demeanor. Her documentary-style approach was exactly what we wanted for our wedding—she captured every emotion, every detail, and every special moment without ever feeling intrusive. One of the things we loved most was how perfectly her style matched the vibe and aesthetic of the different parts of the day. It felt like she truly understood our vision and brought it to life through her photos. Every image reflects the atmosphere and energy of the day so beautifully, as if her work was designed specifically for our celebration. Her ability to tell a story through her lens is unmatched. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. She has such an eye for candid moments, and every shot feels so authentic and full of life. Not only is she extraordinarily talented, but she also made the entire process so enjoyable. She guided us gently when needed, but most of the time, we didn’t even notice she was there—yet somehow, she captured it all! We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a photographer who will exceed every expectation. She’s not just a photographer; she’s an artist, and we feel so lucky to have had her be part of our big day and all of our big life moments

Award-winning Hawaii wedding photographer captures editorial imagery for the discerning couples appreciating a vibrant and unexpected take on wedding photography. Through artful compositions and thoughtful storytelling, I am to capture not just how your celebration looked, but how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
I originally found Masha through Zola and was impressed by her editorial style photos. I am so happy that Masha was available to photograph our wedding. She made me feel so comfortable and so gorgeous all day. My husband was nervous about being in front of the camera but she helped guide our posing and he looks very natural in the end result! Photography is a large part of the wedding day and I'm grateful I spent that time with Masha. I am picky about photos since my dad is very passionate about photography, especially film photography. The photos (both digital and the film ones) turned out absolutely incredible. She took both traditional wedding portraits as well as some very dreamy gorgeous editorial-like photos. It's hard to convey how happy I am about the experience. I'm already dreaming about another vow renewal so I can book Masha again!

No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery.

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.

I can't thank David and Charina enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully! From the moment we first connected, Charina made everything so easy with her clear communication and kindness. She really listened to what we wanted and made us feel completely at ease throughout the process. On the wedding day, David was so professional yet warm—he blended right in, captured all the little details and emotions, and never made us feel staged or uncomfortable.

Aloha, I'm Mai, the photographer who will be capturing your day from start to finish. My passion for capturing your special moments is something that I can't get enough of. There's just something so beautiful in telling someone's love story through my lens that is just so magical it has me wanting to do it Every, Single, Second. I consider photography to be an Art of storytelling and I would be honored to be a part of your day. Allow me to capture your love story, so that you can tell it to others.

I came across Mai's profile and after reviewing her website I reached out with many questions. She was very responsive and after a brief call, I loved her energy and decided to go with her. The pre-wedding communication was easy and Mai joined us for our wedding rehearsal at the venue. On the wedding day, we worked with Mai and her second shooter Amy. They were lovely to work with and felt more like ohana than just our photographers. They captured our entire day and were so accommodating. While we anticipated our wedding photos to take some time, Mai shared a few sneak peaks and were blown away. After a few weeks only, we received our entire album and are so grateful and happy with the images. We can't thank Mai and Amy enough and definitely recommend them to anyone.

  • Serves Waimanalo, HI

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.

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.

  • Serves Waimanalo, HI

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.

There are so many great things I can say about Carol. Other than having THE BEST photography skills, Carol has an awesome and fun personality! As a guy, I didn't think I would like posing for pictures. I felt it would be uncomfortable and boring. That was totally not the case! Carol had us do fun poses and she is really funny. She made me feel comfortable and the whole process was easy. I highly recommend Carol!
