From the moment we first spoke with Ari from Theel Productions, we knew we had found the perfect photographer for our wedding. Ari has a warm, friendly, and cheerful communication style that instantly put us at ease. She is an expert at what she does, and her talent was evident in the way she authentically captured every special moment during our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day.

True Light Photography was a wonderful experience for our family/maternity photos. Calea is timely, kind, and clear in her communication. She was enthusiastic about any idea for poses or backdrops we had, and kept us moving efficiently so we could capture great photos while our kids were in good moods. The final photos were absolutely stunning - the shots were so moving and incredibly flattering.

Grace T Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Waimanalo, HI

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.

Grace T Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. 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! We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience and would highly recommend Grace T Photography to any couple looking for a talented and personable team to capture their special day.

Kristen was the perfect choice for our wedding photographer. Even before the event, she was eager to get to know us on a personal level and we now call her a friend! Weeks before the event, she sent us a very detailed questionnaire to make sure she captured everything we wanted for our wedding. On the day of the event, she was professional, flexible with schedule changes, and went above & beyond our expectations. Our pictures were natural and authentic which is exactly how we wanted it! 100% recommend. I would choose Kristen over and over again!

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.

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.

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.

It was so easy to work with Marissa, from beginning to the end. We don't know how to pose and don't often take photos, but Marissa knew how to direct us and made us feel super comfortable. We love ALL of our photos, which is so rare. I never heard of a bride who loved every single shot their photographer took. We should have hired her for our engagement photos, but oh well. We'll be sure to hire her for all our photos because we love her and her work so much.

Meet Sheyanne, a globally recognized wedding and elopement photographer based in Hawai'i, USA. With a portfolio gracing the pages and sites of prestigious publications worldwide, Sheyanne is celebrated for her ability to capture the intersection of effortless elegance and luxury in every frame. Her distinctive style seamlessly weaves together digital and film photography, offering couples a meticulously curated visual narrative that encapsulates the timeless essence of their love stories, whether they unfold in the heart of Hawai'i or at destinations across the globe.

We love Sheyanne!!! She was and will always be the best choice for your wedding photographer! She somehow kept us calm yet hyped throughout our day and made us feel camera ready. We wanted someone that would capture the emotions of the day as well as shoot more candid photos versus posed. Her style of shooting is exactly what we wanted. We also had our wedding at a venue that Sheyanne had not photographed at before which made me initially nervous, but Sheyanne was very open about it and talked me through her process. She really took the time to get to know the venue and found beautiful and unique spots that really elevated our photos. She even took some complementary film shots! We love you Sheyanne! Thank you for our memories of our big day that we will cherish forever.

I am SO HAPPY that we hired Ali for our wedding! She was so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day.
