I only take on a handful of weddings each year — each one framed like cinema, every detail composed to feel alive. From cliffside vows in Ireland to rooftops in New York to villas in Italy, my work isn’t about quantity, it’s about depth. If you’re looking for photography that feels more like a film than a file, my 2026 books are now open.

Awarded Best of Zola
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

I love telling your authentic story.

We were blessed to find Bree before our first wedding so she was, naturally, the first vendor we booked for our family wedding celebration. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful Bree is! Her work speaks for itself – our photographs from both celebrations turned out amazing and I am having the hardest time figuring out how to narrow down my choices to print! She is THAT GOOD. Bree has a knack for capturing natural moments and making them look phenomenal. Besides her talent behind the camera, Bree goes above and beyond to make sure her couples are set up for success. We didn’t hire a day-of-coordinator or planner because Bree alleviates much of the need! Bree worked with us to plan a perfect timeline and to keep us on (or ahead) of schedule on the day of! Her timeline was what we based our whole day off – hair and makeup start times, DJ set up times, ceremony and reception event times. Bree uses her wealth of experience to give sound advice to her couples to make sure their day goes off without a hitch - a total professional with the ability to make you feel at ease in front of the camera! We couldn’t have pulled it off without her! Bree is sure to make your day one to remember – with beautiful photos that you’ll treasure for years to come and with her wonderful, kind personality! Our whole family is so glad to have found Bree and plans to continue to use her photography services for as long as she will make the trek over the Ohio River!

Our clients are individuals who are fascinating in many ways. Their love stories bring us laughter and move us to tears. They are living proof that love is still a thing in these crazy times. Here at Alvea Studios, we won't provide you with just photographs, but with tiny memories capsules. We will make sure that you are happy with the results not only after the shoot, but for many years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Kylene Morgan Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Waipahu, HI

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.

Obsessed doesn't even begin to describe our experience with Kylene. She thought of and went above and beyond with every detail. She became a genuine friend and an amazing guest at the wedding as well rather than only someone we hired. From beginning to end through the whole process she was friendly, thoughtful, communicative, patient, helpful and just a blast to be around. Her insight and ease with directing a crowd on a high-stress day was impeccable. She gave both of us additional support and peace of mind through the whole process and helped calm both of our nerves so that everything felt and was captured in a very authentic way and it allowed us to be ourselves and have fun when being the spotlight and having our pictures taken did not feel natural to us at first. Kylene captured memories for us in a way that still feel magical to look back at. She helped us navigate potential awkward scenarios we would not have thought of and made them all magical moments. Our wedding day would not have been the same without her help and support. The pictures she took truly look like they could be put in vogue and that's not to toot my own horn that is truly all her skill, thought process, angling, lighting, storytelling, and more. If you're having a hard time deciding where to cut costs and where to invest take it from a pleased bride and definitely invest in Kylene. It will give you not only the peace of mind in selecting the right photographer but you truly will get the value for what you purchase with her. We had a destination wedding in Mexico and it was her first out-of-country wedding but you NEVER would've known. She was so professional with my wedding coordinator, the hotel staff, my family, and all of my guests. Everyone highly complimented her and also is obsessed with our photos she took. If you needed a sign to know who to pick for your wedding photographer look no further because Kylene is your girl!

Masha is an incredible photographer. As a fellow wedding photographer, finding the right person to document our colorful wedding on Maui took some time, but as soon as I talked to Masha and saw her full wedding galleries I knew she was the one! She took such care to get to know us the months leading up to the wedding and on the day made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Just a few days after our wedding she sent over the most beautiful sneak peeks. When I saw them I immediately started crying she just captured our day so beautifully!! I highly recommend Masha for her artistic eye, professionalism, attention to detail, and the care she puts into her job. She is fantastic!!

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

I’m typically shy and not very photogenic, so I was extremely anxious about how our wedding photos would turn out. But after finding LaDonna through a Facebook ad, I immediately knew I wouldn’t have to worry if she was our photographer. She took the time to understand me and helped me find my confidence in front of the camera. 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. LaDonna and the LT² team captured everything beautifully, balancing candid moments with fine art shots that truly tell our story. The photos are so authentic, and I’ll cherish these memories forever, along with the confidence I gained. Thank you, LaDonna, for an unforgettable experience! 3 7.27.24

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.

these are the values that drive my biz: you are allowed to be YOU: this is a space that was created out of a ferocious desire to give the permission for you to be fully and fearlessly you. this is a space where you are wanted for being exactly YOU. embrace the ordinary: there is truly nothing better than right here, right now: the present moment is the sacred ground that holds all of who you may be, but more importantly, who you are right. now. be curious: the most beautiful things in life lay in the listening. we are surrounded by beauty, wisdom, groundedness, genius, love… if only we will listen.

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.

His keen eye for detail and knack for making clients feel right at home make him the perfect choice to capture the essence of your wedding day.

He blended seamlessly into our celebration, making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. The photos are simply stunning. Heip has a keen eye for detail and captured the joy and emotion of the day perfectly. Each shot against the beautiful Hawaiian backdrop tells a story, and we are beyond grateful for these memories. In summary, Smike N Kiss is a fantastic wedding photographer. His professionalism, approachable nature, and remarkable talent make him a joy to work with. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional wedding photos.
