He asked if he could propose to our daughter the next day during our Christmas Card photo shoot, which we were going to do with causal iPhone picture. Frantically I turned to Yelp at mid-night to find a professional photographer for a next day photo shoot. Ocean Light Photography to the rescue. Kal was responsive, profesional, and affordable. Our daughter was surprised and the moment was captured. Can't wait to see our images. Thanks Kal for helping to make the day special and keep the memory alive through your beautiful photos. * I'll update when I receive the photos. Kal comes through again! Our photos came in! BEAUTIFUL! Kal is super responsive, professional, talented, and tends to customer needs. For a small fee, I was able to pay a rush fee for turning around our photos. I needed them to meet a Christmas card order deadline. Kal captured a very special moment for out family and also helped us create a beautiful Christmas card photo. Mahalo Kal!

Also, recommended great beaches and areas to take pictures and took his time taking each picture.

We ended up hiring Kyler twice(graduation and her 18th bday party),and we're still obsessed with the results. Kyler and Lance are a dream team-easy to work with and totally professional. We've worked with a bunch of photographers,but Kai-Photo is on another level (and their prices are so reasonable!). I'm still smiling every time I look at the photos-they're just that good! Highly recommended Kai-Photo Hawai'i for your next event or photo shoot. Can't wait to work with them again! Thank you,Kyler and team -job well done! M. Domingo Obana P.S.

From the very beginning, Emily was very communicative, answered all our questions, shared her ideas, and also guided us through the entire process. My absolute favorite part of working with Emily was how professional and timely she was. For our pre-ceremony shoot, she shared sneak peak in a matter of 12 hours...can you say superwoman?! A few days after our wedding, she sent a sneak peak slideshow of our amazing (edited) photos, complete with music that brought us all to tears! There were so many little sweet moments she caught on camera that just made the photos much more special. I cannot recommend Emily enough. She's an absolute gem and will capture the most beautiful moments that you'll get to cherish for life. Thank you Emily for your amazing work!!

Our wedding photos were one of my top priorities throughout the…read morewedding planning process and I spent about a month just researching photographers on various wedding planning platforms, Yelp, and social media. I immediately fell in love with Emily's artistry when I stumbled upon her Instagram! Words cannot explain how beautifully she captures everything so check out a few of the wedding pics I shared along with this review, as they speak volumes about her work. Emily's packages were also very reasonably priced, which left room for my now husband and I to add on a wedding album and USB drive of all the photos to our package. I don't think you'll find a better value for the quality of wedding photos that Emily delivers. Emily is also such a kind and accommodating person! Our wedding ceremony and reception was planned for March 21 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly shuttered everything on Oahu. So instead of the 200 person reception we planned, we postponed the reception with our extended family and friends to next year and opted to marry in an intimate ceremony with our immediate family instead. Throughout this whole craziness that unfolded in a matter of 2 days, Emily was extremely sympathetic. She was able to still come out for a mini session and capture our intimate ceremony. She was very nice and was more than happy to postponed our wedding package to next year when we get to celebrate with everyone else. She arrived early day-of and was very good at people wrangling too! She guided our family efficiently and got all the family pictures in, and had a way of making my husband feel less camera shy. The day after our ceremony, Emily had already sent me some sneak peeks that looked amazing and that we could share with our family and friends! And within one month she had finished editing the entire gallery from our wedding. Our family and friends absolutely loved all the pictures we shared, and we cannot wait for her to capture the big reception next year. She is amazing. Hire Emily!!

My now Fiancé booked a surprise engagement photoshoot with Anna. He told me that he loved how her portfolio looked, and when he showed me her work, I also loved her photos and style. I was a bit nervous hours prior to our shoot, mainly because I didn't know how to pose. From the moment we met with Anna, I felt comfortable and the rest of the time we just got in our natural element. Our photos definitely showcased such. Anna gave us pointers when we needed it, but she let us be ourselves and captured our true selves. Anna provided us a sneak peek just a few days after our shoot, and her turn around time for the full album was so much quicker than I anticipated. I am glad because I could barely wait to see all of our photos and to share the news with our family and friends. We've gotten so many compliments of our beautiful photos, and we highly recommend booking with Anna for your photoshoots!

The photos turned out even better than I imagined. She didn't just capture how everything looked - she captured how it felt. The love, the little in-between moments, the natural joy of the day... it's all there. And somehow, she made the already stunning Oahu backdrop look even more beautiful. Also, shoutout to her patience because the wind was aggressively fighting my bangs the entire time, and she handled it so seamlessly without ever making it feel stressful or rushed. Genuinely couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're even considering booking her - do it. The quality of her work and the experience she creates are both so, so worth it!
