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.

  • 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.

We have enjoyed working with Kylene over the years, and having her as our wedding photographer was the obvious choice! From the time of our first shoot with her years ago to now, she continues to put us completely at ease with her warm, friendly demeanor. Her documentary-style approach was exactly what we wanted for our wedding—she captured every emotion, every detail, and every special moment without ever feeling intrusive. One of the things we loved most was how perfectly her style matched the vibe and aesthetic of the different parts of the day. It felt like she truly understood our vision and brought it to life through her photos. Every image reflects the atmosphere and energy of the day so beautifully, as if her work was designed specifically for our celebration. Her ability to tell a story through her lens is unmatched. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day all over again. She has such an eye for candid moments, and every shot feels so authentic and full of life. Not only is she extraordinarily talented, but she also made the entire process so enjoyable. She guided us gently when needed, but most of the time, we didn’t even notice she was there—yet somehow, she captured it all! We can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a photographer who will exceed every expectation. She’s not just a photographer; she’s an artist, and we feel so lucky to have had her be part of our big day and all of our big life moments

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.)

Ashley has been a part of our journey from the engagement to "I do." Leading up to our wedding on the island, Ashley went out of her way to help us with vendors, shipping, and giving us advice on best practices on the island. We are forever grateful for her generosity and willingness to help us even when we weren't there. On the wedding day, Ashley arrived early to make sure everything was how it needed to be for her, but also took time to build bonds with our entire wedding party to make sure they were comfortable. Her way of guiding us through our photos while allowing us to be "ourselves" and feel authentic and comfortable was so natural for her. She was able to capture our love f0r our people and most importantly our love for each other in ways that we are truly blown away by. Every request was met with willingness and a clear vision. Her work prior to arrival was evident, her photos are truly magic, and her timeliness is unmatched.

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.

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!

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.

We had Jeanne take our wedding photos for our minimony in Sept 2021. We booked her originally through our wedding planner. Covid restrictions were still in place and required a huge amount of flexibility from all vendors. Jeanne took our couples portraits, helped get everyone in place for our ceremony, and then took portraits with our family and friends. She was super easy to work with, she had a good vision for what poses and shots she wanted, and she was fun and laidback. We loved seeing our photos - they were beautiful and we are so grateful to Jeanne!
