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. Love our photo book from July 2025 too!"

She was very responsive and was willing to work with us on dates. Nicole always kept us informed from when we first reached out to her through the delivery of photos and followed through after to ensure we were satisfied. Nicole was a pleasure to work with. She captured excellent photos that we'll always continue to cherish. It's often difficult for photos to capture the vibrant colors that you see in person, but Nicole's photos were really effective at doing so. Given the quality of her work, her contract rates are much better than the industry rates which was great for our small budget elopement. In fact her photos were at par if not far better than many other photographers we had researched throughout the internet. The final photos were sent via USB in a neatly and thoughtful decorated package which also included a few physical prints. The package was very beautiful and was a great touch. The quality of the photos and the moments that were captured positively exceeded our expectations. The next time we're looking to capture a life-changing moment, we'll definitely reach out to Nicole Ryan Photography!

She was so good with our almost 2-year-old daughter, and got her to feel immediately comfortable, which allowed her to laugh and smile throughout the shoot. She walked us through ideas for poses (we'd be so awkward otherwise) and captured our joy perfectly. We got both our sneak peaks and full gallery really quickly, and the final products were stunning! I would highly recommend Ella for any of your photo needs! She is a pleasure to work with, responsive, and highly talented!

Not only was she easy to work with, professional, and punctual, she is one of those rare people you'll meet in life who genuinely has your (and your wedding's) best interest in mind. Ella's package included an engagement shoot and she made the fantastic suggestions to go to a dog beach in San Diego (we live about 2 hours away). We received a big batch of amazing engagement photos and the best part was that she made the experience fun for us. My husband and I are usually very awkward, but with Ella, it felt natural to pose and just have a good time. Ella and her partner worked tirelessly at our wedding and we are so happy with our 800+ photos that we received. She was detail oriented, organized, but somehow made picture taking painless and chill. Her photos were bright, cheerful, and she captured the mood of our wedding perfectly. I'd hire Ella again in a heartbeat for any and all future photoshoots. She is absolutely amazing and you won't go wrong with Ella for your wedding.

She communicated thoroughly with me, sending me images of where we would be shooting. She gave great ideas and I'm glad I went with her suggestions as our photos came out exactly how I would've wanted. She showed up early to our site to scope it out and did a last minute location change. I'm really glad I went with Gita. She also made you feel like family. She wasn't afraid to get dirty and wet in the water. I'm sure she's used to it but I think she ruined a good pair of sneakers! Also, most importantly you will love your photos!

We love Gita's work so much that we worked with her 3x already! We can still remember meeting Gita…read morewhen we just got married in 2019. That was the first time we had a professional photographer take our photos and eventhough both my husband and I were awkward with posing, she was so nice with guiding us and made us feel comfortable. She really makes an effort in knowing our story and discussing how we wanted our photos to look. Our next project with her was our newborn/family photoshoot during the pandemic. She graciously accepted the challenge of taking the photos at our small apartment and her skills shines through as she can take beautiful photos with that set up. Our latest project with her was our little one's 1st birthday cake smash/family photoshoot. We love that she can give recommendations on the beautiful places around the island and if you have a specific vision in mind, you will enjoy working with her as she is very open to any ideas. Moreover, she made sure everything was set and prepared before the photoshoot. She was so calm and patient with our uncooperative baby and we were amazed that she was able to take beautiful shots despite that. We are thankful that she granted our request that we need a couple of the photos the next day for the party. Overall, she is a great photographer and we cannot recommend her enough!

Highly recommended - you won't be disappointed.

Eric is a brilliant professional photographer, detailed editor, and wonderful to work with…read morethroughout every stage. Eric took stunning shots during our engagement shoot and our wedding. He was the only photographer for our wedding and was able to take multiple shots of every moment during our day. He is attentive and quick to capture those split second moments. As awkward and silly as my husband and I can be in the momentary spotlight, he was able to help us feel comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera and made our shoot unique to our personalities. Our favorite pictures from him are the ones that candidly capture the interaction between us and show the joy of our love during each session. He encouraged us to be ourselves with a few helpful suggestions on how to position ourselves, which made posing super easy. He works earnestly to understand each person/couple and comes prepared for each shot. He went so far as to research and visit the perfect location in a forest next to a river for our engagement shoot- and when we were surprised by snow there on the day of the shoot, he was flexible and incorporated the elements in the moment for beautiful results. He is ready to go the distance for the perfect session. He is honest and fair in his pricing- and is totally worth every penny. The pictures were easily downloaded from a user friendly platform that I was also able to share with my family and friends. Whether the pictures are zoomed in on a screen, or printed large, it is apparent that the details and colors have been carefully and tastefully edited for maximum quality. Besides joining our families by marriage, the pictures are my most precious lasting souvenir from our wedding day. I look at these images daily and am so grateful that Eric was our photographer that preserved these memories.

We are big fans of his incredible surf and nature photography on Instagram, since we are outdoorsy. When it came time to schedule our engagement shoot and plan our wedding, he was easy to contact and to talk with. He communicated promptly which made coordinating logistics and travel arrangements quick and easy even though he is based out of Honolulu, Hawaii and we live in Newport Beach, California. His flexible attitude and collaborative approach made planning a breeze because he gave us recommendations based on experience, but more importantly, he made sure to hear what was important to us. On the wedding day, he was always professional, punctual, and prepared. He came ready with a well thought out plan of where and when to get the best portraits. His personable demeanor put us and all of our guests at ease. His impressive ability to blend seamlessly into the crowd allowed him to capture all of the precious candid moments while everyone looked relaxed and natural. He was skilled at always being in the right place at the right time to never miss a shot. He has a talented eye for capturing the natural beauty and atmosphere of the venue with his framing, lighting, and angles. He also clearly spent a lot of effort in post-production paying close attention to details to perfectly and expertly edit every single picture. He was able to preserve all of our favorite memories in his signature timeless style. He quickly sent us a link to a huge personalized online gallery with all of our amazing digital photos in high resolution. The pictures were easy to download, post, and share with friends and family. We couldn't be happier with how our photos came out. Booking Eric was a great decision and well worth it. We have been recommending him to all of our friends.
