The building that this spot is in looks a little rough, but once you enter Kaeo Studios, it's a vibe! There are many businesses that operate in the same building so parking can be limited until 9pm. Our party was in the Trellis Room and the aesthetic is so cute! It's designed to look like a garden and is very spacious. This room can seat about 20/30 people and there is a separate little room for kids or people who don't want to be in the Karaoke mix hehe. There is no food served as it is BYOB and bring your own food. The service is always efficient and awesome. I am hoping to book my mom's party here this year!

In addition he took requests for the older fam to dance the cha-cha too! DJ Shift knew the assignment and executed it like an OG! In addition he played the final song that I wanted and danced to. Bruddah Bryan is a great MC! He got the guests excited and responded to his requests. He did a cool trivial about the bride and groom, which the guests were super engaged and competitive about. His overall energy and positive vibes were perfect for our wedding! They both have put utmost love and gratitude.

They set up a 14' screen and projector, synced with our audio team, and connected to my laptop seamlessly. Their customer service is top notch and I would never say that lightly. They were prompt, professional, took the time to answer all of my questions, gave excellent advice, showed up on time, AND were the most affordable. I highly recommend this company and look forward to working with them again!

Definitely not the people you want to hire to take your family photos in Hawaii cause they will…read morecancel on you last second!!!!!!!! I booked a session with Dee specifically cause his photos looked more family style than Kristina ( her photos for selfies of her and solo pictures of people) . We communicated over instagram and planned for a family photo shoot for a specific date and time (6pm) the golden hour to get the beautiful Hawaiian sunset captured. A couple hours before the shoot Kristina messaged me saying "Change of plans, I will be taking your photos and we will meet and 4pm Instead" excuse me? I specifically asked for Dee and not Kristina to take our photos and we requested 6pm to get the golden hour shot. Then Kristina responds and says Dee can't make it and let's reschedule for next week. I tell her we're here on vacation and won't be here next week. Then she says he can't bare weight on his foot which that was never mentioned when they first canceled everything. Then we asked is he available tomorrow? She says oh yes he's available tomorrow. (Does not mention anything about his leg and not being able to bare weight the following day) . I was so upset and started crying and did not want these people to take my family photos and did not trust them showing up a day before we had to fly back home. They are very unprofessional and will cancel on you if they get a better gig (what we think happened) We only wanted a 45 min shoot and figured someone else booked them for the "golden hour" for a longer time slot and that's why they canceled on us last second. We had to change all our plans, spent hours trying to find a last minute photographer that wasn't going to charge us an unreasonable amount knowing we were desperate to find someone last second. At the end it all worked out found a way better photographer, saved over $100 dollars and booked the shoot for 1 hr instead of 45 min. Please don't hire these people. They don't even make you sign a contract so they can cancel on you anytime. Oh ya and they blocked me so I couldn't write any bad comments on their page. Their Instagram pages are @ dimahawaii -Dee Oahu Photographer and @ krinsice - Kristina Oahu Hawaii and @ph.krinsice

Johanna is an amazing listener and VERY professional and truly made us feel welcome when we shot with her. She is Always on time and gets the job done and then some.

His response was lightning fast,and his customer service was top-notch-I've never experienced anything like it!He asked about our preferred location,and when we said no,he recommended a spot that was PERFECT. My daughter loved working with him;he's super professional,friendly,and full of energy! The pics were-we loved them all! 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.

Her thoughtful direction not only captured the beautiful scenery, but also the love and joy in our relationship :) She also brought hairspray to fix my hair, which was absolutely needed because of the wind. At the end of our shoot, Daniella had another cool treat: she showed us a bunch of rescue dolphins! Beyond the shoot itself, the process was very streamlined and comfortable. From our initial inquiry through picking the final photos, Daniella was very communicative and helpful -- giving suggestions on nearby photo spots, clothing, and even shave ice spots! We can't thank Daniella enough for the wonderful shoot, beautiful photos, and everything in between!
