“Every couple wants to feel seen and they absolutely made us feel that way. They asked questions about our relationship and that showed in the shots they chose. The photos reflect our humor and tenderness, not just pretty faces. The video includes a montage of candid laughter that always makes me laugh again. The team was so patient with the kids and older guests, which kept everyone feeling comfortable. They delivered a cinematic trailer that we shared with friends who couldn’t attend and it was a hit. The gallery interface made gifting images to relatives simple. I loved the balance of posed couple shots and documentary-style candids. They also suggested a few creative locations at the venue that made for stunning backdrops. Very grateful for their attentive approach.”

Nothing we did seemed too posed or awkward. Time seemed to pass by quickly, we would have loved to shoot with him for hours if it weren’t for the sun setting! We got along well with him. He’s very personable and friendly and has great ideas. We got back more photos than we expected and we loved every single one of them! We would definitely hire him for a future shoot!”

Awarded Best of Zola
“My wife and I finally saved up for our dream wedding in Hawaii, the best choice we ever had was to have Masha as our photographer! If you are tight on the funds, we opted out of a wedding planner and allocated are funds to a very good photographer. I am baseline awkward and she was able to make me look like a model! She is very professional, always on time/punctual with appointments and prompt email replies. She has a very in depth understanding of shadows, light, angles. I appreciate how she directs us on poses and she is very accommodating. She has a wide range of photography styles but we chose her for her editorial photography style like Vogue or Elle magazine, which is very hard to do. Would strongly recommend to anyone.”

Awarded Best of Zola
“My husband and I had a backyard wedding with 110 people in April and Ella was my photographer. She was one of the best part of the wedding experience! Not only was she easy to work with, professional, and punctual, she is one of those rare people you'll meet in life who genuinely has your (and your wedding's) best interest in mind. Ella's package included an engagement shoot and she made the fantastic suggestions to go to a dog beach in San Diego (we live about 2 hours away). We received a big batch of amazing engagement photos and the best part was that she made the experience fun for us. My husband and I are usually very awkward, but with Ella, it felt natural to pose and just have a good time. Ella and her partner worked tirelessly at our wedding and we are so happy with our 800 photos that we received. She was detail oriented, organized, but somehow made picture taking painless and chill. Her photos were bright, cheerful, and she captured the mood of our wedding perfectly. I'd hire Ella again in a heartbeat for any and all future photoshoots. She is absolutely amazing and you won't go wrong with Ella for your wedding!”

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.

I'm Jasmine, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Kailua, Hawaii, with over ten years of island living and a passport that stays busy. My style lives at the intersection of photojournalism and nature editorial. I shoot what is actually happening, the real tears, the stolen glances, the chaotic in-between moments, in places that make the photos extraordinary. I cover proposals, elopements, micro weddings, and full wedding days across Hawaii, US National Parks, and destinations worldwide including Europe, Canada, and Australia. I believe a wedding photo should transport you right back to that moment every single time you look at it.

“Working with Jasmine Brooke Photography has been a genuine pleasure. She's thoughtful about prioritizing the couple's experience and stays flexible when plans need adjusting. I loved working with Jasmine she was extremely professional, kind, aware of my needs, and everyone’s around including the other vendors, she was very open and and willing to work with me, which I find super important. In Wedding’s collaboration between vendors is how a Wedding runs smoothly and how we all grow as professionals. I really appreciate her and definitely recommend her as a fellow visual artist her work is beautiful, and she is impeccable as a professional wedding vender. The images she produces are breathtaking and show real care in every frame. As a fellow visual artist, I deeply respect her professionalism and recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for a photographer who treats her work and relationships with equal integrity.”

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.”

“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.”

We are a brother-sister photography team focused on creating stress free and fun photoshoots and delivering wall worthy portraits! We were born in Chile and were raised in Japan and now live in beautiful Oahu, Hawaii.

“My husband and I worked with Enzo, who did an incredible job! He made us feel at ease and made the process feel very natural. He scoped out all the spots beforehand and was able to be flexible when our original shoot date was taken over by an insane tropical storm. We could not have been happier with our experience and our photos! Thank you Toto&Meme!”

“We hired Alvea Studios to take our first maternity photo shoot back in 2019, both my husband and I were expecting our first baby! We got to choose the location to have our shoot and both Abbie and Harold made both my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable. We are ones to not take pictures but I knew this was a milestone in our life we wanted to remember, I left having fun and it was the utmost positive experience we’ve ever experienced! Both were 100% professional, accommodating and captured every moment. After seeing the final product of pictures we were incredibly happy as it came out perfect! Something for my son to see when he gets older. They both were so awesome we also ended up hiring them to do my engagement photos in the summer of 2019 as well after my son was born! They even made a wedding teaser video for me, which came out awesome! Harold and Abbie have a gifted talent, to capture a moment in time with their photography I’ve never seen before with past professional family photos taken when I was a child. In the end I hired them for my wedding, my second maternity shoot back in 2021 and the last two years for our holiday Christmas cards. Consider them for any event you may have, both again are extremely professional and great at what they do!”
