Only a few weddings are accepted each year — chosen, not booked. Each commission is directed like a film, every frame crafted with precision and restraint. From rooftop vows in New York to villas carved into the cliffs of Italy, this work exists for those who value legacy over likeness. It’s not about quantity or convenience — it’s about creating imagery that endures.

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.

Aloha and congrats! You’re considering to get married on the beautiful islands of Hawai’i or beyond — your own slice of paradise! Our journey together means everything to me. I capture your day in the most spontaneous, colourful, and nostalgic way possible. I’m Tâm — a full-time Dutch freelance photographer with a passion for travelling the world and documenting once-in-a-lifetime moments for wonderful couples like you.

Both my husband and I are a bit awkward when it comes to having our photos taken, but Tâm made it incredibly easy. He came up with fun tricks to genuinely make us laugh, and we never felt uncomfortable during the whole process. During the ceremony, it was wonderful that we didn't even notice he was taking photos. It truly felt like our moment, while still capturing beautiful and genuine shots. We had an amazing day, and it's definitely reflected in the stunning photos. Thank you so much, Tâm, your photos are truly captured with passion.

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!

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 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're both naturally pretty shy, so we weren’t sure what to expect—but from the very first message, he put us at ease with his professionalism, warmth, and clear communication. He was reliable, punctual, and incredibly easy to work with. You can tell right away that he’s experienced—not just in how he handles the technical side, but in how he reads people and creates a comfortable, relaxed environment. What could’ve been an awkward or stiff session turned into one of the most fun and memorable afternoons! He guided us throughout the shoot with just the right balance—tailoring everything to our personalities and what we were hoping for, but also giving us creative direction that made a huge difference in how the shots turned out. We found ourselves laughing, being goofy, and totally forgetting we were even posing. Some of our favorite photos came out of those spontaneous moments he captured so naturally. His background in film is definitely reflected in the final images—they’re cinematic, intimate, and just so beautiful! The final photos were delivered quickly, and we’re genuinely obsessed with them. If you’re even thinking about booking a photographer, do yourself a favor and go with Guillermo. You want this guy! Thank you so much, Guillermo!
