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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first time we reached out to Tâm, he was so enthusiastic and genuinely invested in making our vision come to life. Before even putting together a proposal, he took the time to really listen to our ideas and get familiar with the location, which made us feel so at ease and understood. What really stood out was his initiative, he went beyond just showing up with a camera. He suggested a beautiful nature reserve near our venue for part of the photo session, something we hadn’t even thought of, and it turned out to be one of our favourite parts of the day! I was a little nervous at first, worried the photos might feel too posed or unnatural, but Tâm reassured us to just be in the moment and enjoy each other while he worked his magic. And honestly, we couldn’t be happier with the results! The photos feel so effortless, real, and full of emotion. We’re beyond grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully!

Everytime I looked at my wedding pictures I felt so lucky that I have Tara at my wedding day. She's super sweet and extremely nice to work with and the quality of the picture is another level. I like cameras and taking pictures, which makes me appreciate Tara's skills even more. She caught countless beautiful moments in the most magical day of my life. A month before the wedding she sent over a questionairre to get to know more about the details of the wedding. Me and my husband had a meeting the day before the wedding to run through the details, questions, and some wedding photos I liked and shared with her. One of the photos I sent was a champagne popping, Tara loved it and even prepared a setup for that shot at the wedding night! It was one of the most amazing shots I love from that night. On the wedding day, there were things unexpected and we were falling behind projected timeline, but Tara and her second photographer Tara were super flexible and managed to work it out. They helped more than just the photos. I truly appreciate all the help and the beautiful work!! Thank you thank you thank you for recording the most perfect day for me!!! I would recommend Tara to everyone!!

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!

I dont know what else to say except: YOU NEED ELLA!! If you want your pictures to be lively, bright, and fun, she is the one! We worked with her for a couple months through engagement pics up until our wedding, and I just don’t have enough good things to say about her. We provably hired a different photographer for our wedding, but the vibes were off and she did not listen to my vision. Me and my husband can be awkward in front of the camera, but she directed us and told us exactly what we needed to do. Our wedding experience would not have been the same without her! She captured the exact vision that I had and then some. 100% worth every penny. Please just book her already!!

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.

Ollie is a fantastic photographer! He is so talented and a lot of fun to work with! The photos he took were amazing. When he takes pictures, he can transform a boring place into a spectacular one! He even dressed up for the occasion! I will never forget how he was wearing a really nice suit on my wedding day. Really made an impression! He's very chill and very understanding. He's also very helpful, suggesting ideas for posing and where to place your hands (I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had this issue), and he makes the photo session so much fun. He will make you feel like it's just another ordinary day, so you will not feel any pressure. Ollie does not treat you like a client. He treats you like a friend, so the whole session is smooth, fun, chill, and memorable. Ollie is highly recommended, and I would definitely hire him again for any future occasions that require a photographer. If you really want someone to capture your moment, Ollie is your man!

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.

From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive and provided us with so much inspiration and guidance to help us plan the perfect day. Their team, including Hannah and Mike, were dedicated and fantastic. They captured our wedding in the most candid and romantic way. They helped us plan the flow of the day by contributing feedback and building the schedule, and we even got special moments, like a pair of bunnies that photobombed our engagement shoot!

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.

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.

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.

Taylor was such a phenomenal part of our special micro-wedding! She really listened to our requests and made sure we took everyone photo we were hoping for! On another note, with our wedding being a destination I was unable to meet with Taylor before our wedding and I never once felt uncomfortable during the process. She made sure we discussed all the details and ensured me she would be able to deliver what we were dreaming of. I would highly recommend using her services even if you are dreaming of a destination wedding! We highly recommend using Taylor as your wedding photographer (you wont regret it)!

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.

Makamae Moments, LLC was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, their communication style was simple, direct, informative, patient, and fun. They took the time to understand our vision and made the entire process seamless. The quality of their work is exceptional - they were efficient, ensured our pictures turned out beautifully, and made sure we felt well taken care of and comfortable throughout the day. They had a keen eye for detail and were able to mentally visualize the perfect shots, making it all work perfectly with the scenery.

Guillermo (Willy) Navarro is an award-winning photographer passionate about capturing love stories with elegance and emotion. With experience spanning hundreds of weddings and events, his signature cinematic style transforms special moments into timeless works of art. “Photographing weddings in Hawaii is about more than just taking pictures—it’s about telling a love story. I strive to capture every moment with emotion and glamour, turning fleeting memories into lasting treasures.”

My husband and I did a couples shoot with Guillermo Navarro, and we honestly can’t say enough good things about the experience. 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!

I don't have words to thank her for the things she did for us. I appreciated every click, every moment. She helped me with absolutely everything before and during my elopement. Even when we were in completely different zones. She understood exactly how my husband and I wanted our memories to be told and eternalized. She will always gonna be in our best memory!
