Reviews for Honolulu Photographers
“We had the most amazing shoot at Waikiki Beach right before sunset. The photographer made us feel totally at ease from the first click, and somehow caught the exact moment the sky turned cotton candy pink. My husband (who hates photos) actually said, ‘That was fun!’ The whole session felt like a dream, and the results were even better than we imagined. Our friends back home think we stepped into a postcard!”

“Our couple session at Magic Island was beyond perfect. The light was golden, the breeze was soft, and our photographer made us feel like pros, even though we were laughing the whole time. I was barefoot, my partner kept dipping me mid-spin — and yet, every photo came out like a romance movie still. This wasn’t just a photo shoot. It was a core memory.”
— K. Mendoza
“Family photos at Lanikai Beach with three kids under 8? I expected chaos, but somehow it turned into a playful, joy-filled hour of pure magic. Our photographer turned seashells into smiles, and managed to get all five of us looking at the camera and grinning. The photos are bright, natural, and full of love — everything I hoped for and more.”
— T. Okimoto
“My fiancé proposed at Makapuʻu Lookout with Honolulu Photographers secretly waiting in the wings — and when I say they nailed it, I mean I gasped at every shot. The sky, the cliffs, the real emotion on both our faces… I didn’t even realize they were there until after I said yes! Now I have every second frozen in the most stunning way.”

“Kaimana Beach was a peaceful escape from the crowd — and the perfect place for our honeymoon shoot. We wanted soft, romantic, and a little playful, and the photographer got it all. Barefoot kisses, sand in our toes, ocean behind us… every frame makes me feel the breeze again. We’ll treasure these forever.”
— S. Delgado
“We did a wild, barefoot elopement on Waimanalo Beach, just us and the waves — and somehow, Honolulu Photographers captured both the freedom and the intimacy of that morning. Wind in my veil, sun on our skin, and our laughter echoing over the sand… I still cry when I look at them.”
— N. Bates
“We chose Ala Moana Beach Park for our family shoot because it has both open space and palm trees, and wow — the results blew us away. Our toddler was shy at first, but the photographer brought bubbles and jokes, and suddenly we had a giggling boy and the best candids ever. Totally stress-free and beautiful.”
— L. Pascual
“Our anniversary shoot at Kakaʻako Waterfront Park was a total vibe. Cool city skyline, ocean breeze, and the sweetest energy from our photographer. They captured us dancing, twirling, and sipping coffee by the water — like our own rom-com trailer. We keep going back just to relive the joy.”
— G. Shimizu
“We did a surprise proposal at Kualoa Beach, and I had no idea a photographer was hidden behind a palm tree until after he proposed! The photos look like a movie scene. That one where he’s on one knee and I’m gasping? Framed. Printed. Cherished forever.”
— V. Endo
“Sandy Beach is dramatic and a little wild — perfect for our windy, adventurous engagement shoot. I didn’t think photos could feel like us until this. We laughed, kissed, got soaked by a wave, and still somehow looked amazing. Huge thanks to the team for making us feel so at home in front of the camera.”
— M. Oshiro
“Our shoot at Kailua Beach was sweet, silly, and full of sunshine — just like us. We brought our dog, and they managed to capture not only our love but her goofy little expressions too. She even made it onto our Christmas card this year!”
— H. Domingo
“My maternity shoot at China Walls was an absolute dream. Windy, yes. But also breathtaking. Standing on those cliffs with my bump, waves crashing below… it was such a powerful moment. The photos are a reminder that pregnancy is fierce, beautiful, and unforgettable.”
— F. Jenkins
“Waialae Beach Park gave us the perfect mix of shady palms and soft sand — and our photos look like a magazine spread. We brought matching leis, and the shots feel both classic and playful. Our photographer even captured the little moments — like me fixing his hair or him sneaking a kiss.”
— D. Saiki
“Kualoa Ranch is where the mountains meet the ocean, and we’ve never felt so cinematic. Our photos from the valley with those epic cliffs behind us? Absolute FIRE. It felt like Jurassic Park meets Vogue, and we are obsessed.”
— E. Takahashi
“Our wedding at Ko Olina Lagoon 4 was small and perfect, and Honolulu Photographers documented every moment with so much heart. The emotion in our ceremony photos — and even the goofy reception candids — totally blew us away. We felt seen.”
— C. Pilkington
“We had a couples shoot at Diamond Head Beach Park, and it ended up being a full-on romantic adventure. Barefoot walking through tide pools, dancing in the wind… the photographer made us forget we were even being photographed. And the photos? Pure magic.”
— W. Oda
“Tantalus Lookout at sunset = chef’s kiss. We were surrounded by city lights and trees, and it felt like our own secret world. Our photographer let us be ourselves, gave just enough guidance, and caught those candid in-between moments we’ll always treasure.”
— A. Uyeda
“Our babymoon shoot at Kaʻena Point was peaceful, quiet, and full of love. The photos of my husband resting his head on my belly while the waves rolled in? I cried. This shoot captured a sacred chapter of our story.”
— R. Solano
“Sans Souci Beach gave us total local energy — peaceful, relaxed, and full of charm. Our photographer brought out the best in us, and we actually ended up staying to watch the stars after the shoot ended. It just felt that special.”
— Y. Clarke
“We booked a surprise proposal at Liliʻuokalani Gardens, and the photographer helped plan every detail — down to the spot, timing, and where I should stand for the best light. The result? A teary, emotional yes… and the most stunning photos of the moment I’ll never forget.”
— T. Ueno
“Eternity Beach delivered exactly what we were hoping for: dramatic cliffs, bold waves, and raw, passionate energy. We ran, we laughed, we hugged until our arms ached — and every bit of it lives in our gallery now.”
— P. Ogawa
“Our senior portrait session at Magic Island Lagoon turned out way cooler than expected. No awkward poses, just chill energy, great music playing from our phone, and some seriously good lighting. The photos are sharp, fresh, and totally me.”

“We chose Haleʻiwa for a mix of town charm and beach vibes — and our photographer made the most of it. Coffee shop portraits, pier kisses, and even a few with surfboards in the background. Truly captured our adventurous side.”
— S. Inoue
“Our engagement shoot at Bellows Beach was peaceful and private — just how we like it. The photographer let us do our thing, but guided us when we needed it. The final gallery is soft, romantic, and totally us.”
— Z. Sato
“We wanted something different, so we chose Chinatown Honolulu for a street-style session. Colorful murals, little shops, and alleyway charm — our photos look like an editorial spread. Totally unique, and totally unforgettable.”
