Emily Skiba Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Papaikou, HI

Photography is an artistic escape I love to have fun with! I enjoy meeting new people and stepping into their lives while capturing the love is something that sparked my joy. Photography has been a full time passion of mine since I picked up a camera in 2017. I love spending most of my time out doors in nature so I've kind of got the whole location scouting down to a 'T'. Let's go somewhere beautiful and make some memories.

5 stars honestly doesn't begin to capture our experience working with Emily. I reached out to various photographers in Maui in our search for the right fit to capture our elopement. As soon as I heard back from Emily we both knew she was the perfect fit. She totally understood our vision for an intimate, fun "adventure elopement" and she led us to a couple locations for our shoot that were UNREAL.. in addition to that she was more than happy to give hair/outfit recommendations and help us find the perfect hair/makeup artist, officiant, etc and we ended up with an absolute DREAM TEAM for our day. Our trip to Maui was met with some severe weather which wouldn't have permitted outdoor photos (talking torrential downpour and flooding) and Emily handled the situation with the utmost professionalism, calling us with her recommendations and actually rescheduling our elopement for another day she was able to clear her schedule, which was such a relief. When we FINALLY made it to our elopement day, our photo shoot was an absolute blast!! Emily instantly made us feel so comfortable despite my wife being someone who hates taking photos. Instead of setting up awkward forced prom poses she let us have fun and be ourselves and would provide just enough guidance like "move this arm here, take a step this way, or drop the bouquet down a bit" so we felt like we knew what we were doing. Lastly, the PHOTOS! OMG! Not only was the turnaround time fast, the photos easy to access and downloading very easy, but the photos were STUNNING. Like, we gawked at them for hours and can't even decide which ones to print because they're all so fantastic. Her touchups are subtle and true to color, no dramatic or obvious editing. The locations looked like something out of a fairytale, and she captured our natural poses and movements so well that you can truly see our happiness and glow in every photo Emily is friendly, easy-going, flexible, organized, professional, and WILDLY talented and if you're reading this rather lengthy review just book her now before she's booked up! (Not to mention her pricing is very reasonable, especially for the location)

  • Serves Papaikou, HI

Jessica Hill Photography is an award-winning photographer with over 15 years of experience delivering heartfelt and honest moments through their lens. Based in Portland, Oregon she has documented marriages across the Pacific Northwest, highlighting the inspiring power of love in all forms.

Jessica is truly incredible. Her photographs speak for themselves, and her eye and ability to capture a moment is unmatched. Her artistry is apparent in every photo she takes. However, it's the command she has while doing the photo shoots, the control of the room and her subjects, her ability to see things others would miss (a wrinkled shirt, a misplaced tie, the perfect placement of dress), and her professionalism that takes everything she does to the next level. She gets our highest recommendation and complete trust and belief that she is, without a doubt, the most incredible photographer you could find to capture any moment in your life.

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Amber and Mike are true gems. Not only are their photos just breathtaking but they are such awesome people. They made our day go so smoothly! They never pressured us to rush, they actually helped us enjoy every moment of the day and take our time so we didn’t feel stressed. They had such unique photo ideas and it made the day such an adventure. I feel like we can look at the pictures and be totally sent back to that day-they just captured every emotion so beautifully. They were so professional about every aspect of our day, but made us feel so comfortable at the same time. I usually feel awkward to have my picture taken but they made it fun! So thankful for them!

Jeannemarie Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Papaikou, HI

I found my way behind the camera after years of art directing in the fashion industry in NYC. I always loved photography as it captures a moment in time, frozen forever. Taking my knowledge & experience from my fashion days, mixing it with my love for romance, love & art I made the leap to weddings. I photograph film in which I believe that is has a romantic dreamy elegance that only film can capture. I’m based in Honolulu,Hawaii, and I love to travel. Exploring the world to learn about new cultures, meet new people, get lost in a museum and drive the countrysides taking in the sublime sceneries around brings me joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
The photos we have previewed so far, have turned out perfect. For our wedding day, it was stress free and flowed seamlessly, which if you have a big family (or party) is significant especially since you need to corral them for photos. She met with us beforehand to make sure we were able to get everything we wanted from our special day. The day of, she helped us move our pictures along (while still taking breathtaking photos by the way, one of them is going to be life sized on our wall) so that we could really enjoy our wedding. We still cannot believe how perfect our wedding was and cannot thank her enough for capturing it. Mahalo nui loa!! (Thank you very much)

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

Reese's lover with huge ambitions and a fire under my feet. Quite literally! I have a Bachelor's degree in business, and I'm not just some girl with a camera: I'm an auntie to three amazing boys, a club volleyball coach (after playing college Volleyball!), a follower of Christ, and a world-class adventurer. That's right, I love traveling and the only thing that would make traveling more fun is having YOU in front of my camera. I'm seriously down to adventure anywhere! ​

Kaitlyn was great! We had some funky family dynamics and she knew exactly how to deal with them. She was great at helping facilitate at the venue and worked well with the coordinator so the day was smooth. I only have some of my photos back since the event was two weeks ago but what I got back looks amazing! 100% satisfied!

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

I want to capture all your in-between moments, those are my favorite, the way you guys sneak looks and steal kisses. I don’t want to be just another person who shows up and waves a black box in your face. I want your photos to represent your effortless connection, the closeness with your person, and all the other things that make you guys YOU! I am inspired by your love and I want to capture YOUR raw and real story. I want to tell it through my photos. And the fact that no else has been in my shoes, I see the world through eyes that no one else has. That’s what makes me different. Also NO TRAVEL FEE anywhere in the states!!

We got married in June 2022, and even now looking at our photos and video has us in disbelief at how Ruzin beautifully captured our special day. It’s like we’re viewing someone else’s wedding, but it’s actually ours! Throughout wedding planning, she went above and beyond for us and we can’t truly express our gratitude. She takes the time to get personal and get to know you well and understand your vision to help take it to the next level. We’ve seen many wedding photos, but hands down ours were the best. Choosing her was the best decision we made!

I try to put passionate and creativity into every project that I take on, I strive to craft stress-free photography experiences and images that reflect each couple’s one-of-a-kind romantic bond.

As two introverts getting married, we needed a photographer that would make us feel at ease, forget we even had staff on our day of, but also had a good hand in dealing with guests who liked to get involved in the vendors' craft. Naiya's skillful and gorgeous photos speak for themselves. We really loved working with her not only for our engagement photo session, but also the day of!!! Due to some unforseen emergency family matters, our photos were a bit late. We wish she would have given a bit more proactive communication regarding this.

Hey there, I’m Virge Simone and I want to capture your love story. One of my favorite photos is one of my late grandfather holding my now 19 year old daughter when she was just a few days old. The photo was taken by me and I would guess with a basic point and shoot camera so the quality is not the best, kinda blurry, the colors are washed out but I LOVE that photo. That photo signifies to be to always be present and in the moment, because that’s the last photo I was able to take of my grandfather. As a photographer, that photo tells a story, its dated, its memorable and its timeless.

Virge Simone Images provided excellent photography services for my clients wedding. Their communication was always timely and professional. Virge responded to emails promptly and was very organized leading up to the big day. The quality of Virge's work is superb - the photos are crisp, clear, and artistically composed. They perfectly captured the emotions and special moments of our wedding. Virge was also extremely helpful on the day-of, directing people for formal photos in an efficient yet friendly manner. They were able to get all the shots we wanted while keeping things moving smoothly. The final wedding album shows Virge's creative eye and captures the spirit of our wedding beautifully. We felt like Virge was invested in our big day and cared about delivering exceptional photos to remember it. As one of the top wedding photographers in the business, Virge exceeded our expectations and we'd highly recommend their services.
