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!

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.

Our wedding at Loulu Palm was an absolute dream come true. The venue is breathtaking — intimate, peaceful, and perfectly set right by the beach. It gave us the magical, tropical atmosphere we always wanted. Nickie was a joy to work with. She was super helpful throughout the planning process, especially when it came to coordinating all of our rentals and paperwork. Her attention to detail and responsiveness made a huge difference, and we always felt supported. Ashley, our full wedding planner, was a total lifesaver. As very Type B people who hate planning, we were dreading the process — but Ashley made it easy, organized, and even fun. She kept us on track with monthly and weekly check-ins and handled every detail with care. She created a detailed timeline and made sure everything was lined up perfectly — and we never once felt overwhelmed. She went above and beyond to make sure we had our vision come to life. The day of the wedding was seamless — everything ran smoothly, and we were able to fully enjoy every moment without stress. Ashley took care of everything behind the scenes, and it showed. Hire her! We’re beyond grateful for Ashley, Nickie, and the entire team at Loulu Palm. Thank you for giving us the perfect wedding!

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.

  • Serves Waipahu, HI

We are a boutique wedding planning & entertainment company with over 15 years experience in the Hawai'i & destination wedding industry. Our focus is providing comprehensive wedding planning experiences for busy couples that are culturally inspired, wonderfully personalized, luxurious, and reflect each couple's unique personality. Our mission -- to give couples back the freedom to enjoy all the fun aspects of their wedding journey while we manage every part of your wedding day down to the finest detail.

Seriously, you need Annie. I am such a type A person that I thought maybe I didn’t need a wedding planner, but from the first consultation with Annie we decided immediately we needed her. She added value from day one, and saved me from making a horrible venue mistake. She knows everyone, all the vendors, and who’s the best fit for you and your wedding vision. What she doesn’t know (which is rare) she figures out - for example, I had a request to have a magician, a friend cleanse the space with sage smudging, and a sound healer at our wedding, and she handled all my unique requests so well and was up for anything. She is very detail oriented and pays attention to everything- all our bills being correct, caught mistakes I made, and paid attention to all my strange requests. Most weddings are full of some strange interpersonal dynamic challenges, and Annie knew exactly how to navigate each one, paid special attention to the dynamic issues with my family and was fully ready and prepped to keep certain people happy and apart. She dealt with last minute changes seamlessly, including a no-show bridesmaid and last minute addition of a flower girl. There is no one I trusted more with my wedding (and at this point my life, I mean, can I keep her?!!) than Annie. On my wedding day and for months leading up to it I knew that whatever happened to go wrong, whatever last minute issues I would have, Annie would handle it and figure it out and I would barely know the difference. And that’s exactly how our day went. She is perfect and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Ps- mango season band was amazing too!!

Rattan Events made our special day absolutely perfect. From the beginning, Miranda’s communication was consistently encouraging and honest, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. Her dedication and professionalism were evident in every aspect of her work - she truly was our rock and a miracle worker. When a calamity broke out in the kitchen, she and her assistant made sure it didn't ruin our enjoyment of the reception. Throughout the day, they were able to make smaller decisions for us while we enjoyed getting ready with our loved ones. Their prep work communicating with us allowed them to make choices that aligned perfectly with what was important to us. Miranda and Tyler completely transformed our wedding day from a that could have been a terrible stressful affair to the most delightful, perfect, joyful celebration we could have imagined. I was in tears the next day with gratitude. We are so grateful for their incredible service.

From our first conversation with Sam at Twin Fin Filmworks, we knew we had found the right videographer for our wedding. He was understanding about our budget and worked with us on a payment plan that made everything possible, even though we booked him last minute. What impressed us most was how he captured our day—nothing felt staged or scripted, just real moments happening naturally as he blended into the background. Sam was thoughtful and considerate throughout, making us feel completely at ease while he filmed. The final video is absolutely stunning and feels so personal to us, like nothing we could have imagined. We're grateful for Sam's warmth and professionalism, and we'd recommend Twin Fin Filmworks to any couple looking for videography that's both timeless and truly theirs.

I’ve always felt a special connection to Hawaii growing up in paradise. So many people dream of spending just a few days here and I’ve been fortunate to have spent my entire life here. It truly is such a beautiful place and not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate all it has to offer. I love getting to know each couple’s personalities and build new relationships. Most of all, I believe that life’s celebrations should be memorable and special in every way possible. I've been helping couples plan their dream weddings for over 17 years and love seeing how happy they are!

I can't say enough about my amazing experience working with Lei. From my first communication with her for her couple until after the wedding was over, it has been just amazing and a great experience. Lei is so helpful, communicative, and overall a great wedding planner and person. She really cares about her couples and you can tell by her close attention to detail, her ability to flow easily with change, and her openness to making your day happen exactly as you want it. I've worked with many wedding planners before, and I honestly loved working with Lei so much. She handled a big wedding party with grace and ease, and made sure her couple were her top priority. She had everything ready on time, supported not only her couple, their guests, but also the wedding vendors throughout the day, which is no easy task. Her couple couldn't stop singing her praises to me on how much they enjoyed their wedding day and how everything went so smoothly because of her amazing planning - and I couldn't agree more. As a wedding vendor working with Lei was so enjoyable, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. If you're looking for a wedding planner that has your top priorities and your vision for your day as important to them as it is to you, then hire Lei, because you'll have the absolute most amazing wedding day of your life.

Being shy in front of the camera, she helped me get over my nerves and just have fun. One thing that we noticed when we first saw her work was her talent and the colorfulness and brightness of her pictures which we loved. But one thing that is not showcased through her work or online galleries is how friendly, experienced, and helpful she is throughout the whole process of planning the wedding.

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 got involved with the University radio station (90.1 FM), started doing live events, and really loved showing off my rare music finds. Nothing beats the feeling of rocking a live crowd for track after track, especially after the long pause in events! DJing is all I do for "work", and I love it! Each wedding or event I play is full of different people and different ages from all over the world, and they all have differing tastes in music- blending so many different genres and styles of music is such a fun challenge!

DJ Roman Candles was excellent! He pulled off a set that was beyond our wildest dreams. We had a brief phone meeting a week before the wedding about how we wanted the vibe to be and he pulled it off perfectly. Us and our guests were blown away by his performance. After the wedding, all of our guests were raving how awesome he was! He blended all of our requested genres. The transitions between genres and between songs were spot on! He had all of our guests up and dancing. Our wedding coordinator said he was very easy to work and communicate with. He was very organized and had all the equipment we needed. He also took care of the emcee duties and did an awesome job! He had an app we could use to upload all of our song requests. We found it very useful for organizing the songs we wanted played at each part of the night. He totally killed it and we could not imagine anyone doing better. 10/10. We can’t stop watching videos of how fun the night went! Totally recommend DJ Roman Candles for your wedding or any other events!!!

Once we found Kristen and her work we knew we could't trust anyone else with capturing our day! Kristen was incredible with communication from start to finish and extremely transparent. We are so grateful that we trusted her with our engagement photos and our special day. She captured every moment of our event in the exact way we wanted. Every time I turned around Kristen was right there capturing every detail. She became more than our photographer but a dear friend through the process. We hope to come back to Hawaii and continue to shoot our growing family photos with her. She truly made our day magical and now we have priceless photos to look back on for a lifetime.

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.

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.
