Coming from Vancouver, we were hesitant just finding someone "out of the blue" on the internet and wanted someone to come in We were impressed by Nicole's friendly demeanour and willingness to work with whatever we had in mind. Not being a local, she gave us a couple of suggestions and some samples from her portfolio of the locations. She also gave us some great suggestions for local places to visit and enjoy! Needless to say we have been happy and now are a repeat customer - she just recently (May 2018) helped us with another family photo shoot for our 5-year anniversary! Would recommend, especially out-of-town guests. Elliott

I am the type of person wanting & needing to reach out to 3 - 4 companies for information/inquires for services. Same as anyone wanting services for roofing, painting, solar and AC for their home. I reached out to 2-3 photographers, I advised wanting a photo shoot at a park, no beaches, yes I know we will in Hawaii but everyone does a beach photo. First photographer didn't even respond to my online, email requests. I even called the phone number listed, left a message, no call back. Second photographer confirmed will not be a good fit for my request due to only does nature photography, so only beaches, hmmm, last I checked parks with trees is nature! Final photographer, Sky & Reef Photography -Tara Morenfeld with all the information I requested for. Reserved a Sunday morning date, Tara was on time and ready to go. Worked with the 1year old first, while baby is in a good mood! Worked with each individual ohana then entire ohana. I highly recommend Sky & Reef photography Tara Morenfeld for your next photo session! Again Tara is a professional and keeps her word on how to work the ohana!

It was a fun day and also a great way to get introduced to some local areas of Hawaii! The communication process was easy via email with generally quick replies when she was not busy.

Some of them even better than the ideas we originally wanted! Overall it was a great experience to look back to. She was able to capture the celebration of 7 years of marriage. These photos are great to look back to and are ones we will cherish for many many years. We were also very fortunate to have been able to book a time with her in the most busy season of the year. Thank you Tara!!

He secretly filmed my proposal with a GoPro and I didn't even know until he sent it to me!…read more We first met Eddy in 2022 when I secretly hired him to capture my surprise proposal at the top of Diamond Head. To keep it under wraps, we pretended I had booked a normal photo excursion. He played along flawlessly, blending in until the perfect moment. And here's the kicker -- he wore a GoPro and secretly filmed the entire thing. I had no idea until he sent me the video along with the most beautiful, emotional photos we could have hoped for. When we came back in 2025 with our family, there was zero hesitation about who we'd hire. Eddy is not only incredibly talented, but also friendly, patient, and great with kids. He makes everyone feel comfortable, knows how to find the best light, and captures genuine moments instead of stiff poses. He even picked us up, baby and all to drive us to the shoot location. Both sessions gave us photos that belong on our walls forever -- vibrant, natural, and full of life. If you want a photographer who goes above and beyond, who makes magic happen without you even realizing it, book him now. He's the only one we'll ever call in Oahu.

The Only Photographer You Should Trust in Hawaii, Eddy Nova is Unmatched!…read more Stop scrolling and book Eddy Nova. I say this as someone who does her research, values quality, and understands the difference between someone who takes pictures and someone who creates memories. Eddy is the real deal. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary with a beach and park photo session in Honolulu. We envisioned dreamy ocean views, a glowing Hawaiian sunset, and the kind of photos that would hang in our home forever. But when the day arrived, so did the rain, and not just a little drizzle. It was a full-on downpour. Most photographers would have rescheduled and called it a day. But Eddy? He did that and so much more. Not only was he incredibly flexible and understanding, he also personally drove us over 20 minutes to our dinner reservation, just so we wouldn't have to deal with calling a ride in the middle of a storm. That kind of thoughtfulness doesn't come standard. It comes from someone who genuinely cares about his clients. When we finally had our rescheduled session, it felt like the universe had been waiting to give us something perfect, and Eddy captured every ounce of it. The sunset was breathtaking, the colors of the sky and sea were vibrant and glowing, and somehow, he managed to reflect the absolute joy and love between us in every single shot. The photos are mind blowing. Not staged. Not stiff. Just pure connection, emotion, and beauty. He caught those little moments that most people miss, a glance, a laugh, a spark, and turned them into art. His turnaround time was unbelievably fast. We received a teaser photo that same evening so we could share something with our family back home, and the full gallery was ready in less than two weeks. Every image looked like it belonged in a travel magazine or a fine art gallery, but still felt like us, genuine and glowing. And beyond the technical brilliance, it's Eddy's personality that sets him apart. He is one of the most genuine, magnetic, and grounded people I've ever met. From the moment we met him, he made us feel like old friends. There was no pressure, no awkwardness, just laughter, good conversation, and a deep sense of ease that only comes when you're in the presence of someone truly exceptional. This was not just a photo session. It was an unforgettable experience with someone who made us feel seen, celebrated, and genuinely appreciated. That's rare. If you are planning any kind of special moment in Oahu and you want it captured with heart, talent, and care, look no further. Eddy Nova is the only name you need to know.

She offers both 30-minute mini sessions and full 1-hour sessions, which made it easy for us to choose what worked best. From the moment we booked, she was incredibly communicative and helpful. She shared so many thoughtful recommendations on locations, timing, lighting, and overall vibe. I asked a million questions while researching and planning, and she answered every single one (and then some) with so much patience and care. Lina was willing to wake up early for us for our 7 am sunrise shoot, which already set the tone for how thoughtful and accommodating the experience was. My husband is a photographer himself and is usually behind the lens, but this time he was in front of it and Lina's direction made us feel completely safe and comfortable. She guided us in a way that allowed the photos to feel truly "candid", natural, and effortless, which is not easy to do. The experience itself felt relaxed, fun, and never rushed or awkward. Our gallery was delivered in about 4 weeks, and it was well worth the wait. The photos are absolutely insane. They capture the moment exactly as it felt...just as beautiful as real life. These are photos we'll cherish forever. If you're considering a honeymoon, couples, engagement, or vacation shoot in Oahu, book Lina. You will not regret it.

From the moment she arrived, she made us feel completely at ease and somehow turned what could have been a stressful situation into something so special. She was organized, on time, and had such an amazing eye for detail, capturing the emotion and beauty of our wedding day perfectly. Her photos are absolutely stunning, and I'm still in awe of how she managed to document every little moment so naturally. Lina truly has a gift, both in her photography and in the way she connects with people. We feel so lucky to have found her and couldn't recommend her more highly. Lina also knew the area so well, she had the best suggestions for photo locations and guided us effortlessly through each spot. She made the entire shoot feel natural and fun, giving us just the right direction so we always felt comfortable in front of the camera. Her experience and local knowledge made all the difference. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend working with anyone else on the island.

I found Marella through Yelp to help me take my maternity photos a month ago so it is only fitting…read moreI write her a review on Yelp after my experience! I was looking for someone who was reasonably priced and fun/reliable to work with while we were on our babymoon in Oahu. Enter Marella. She was super fast and responsive to my emails, sending me price packages and suggestions of where I could take photos based on where I was staying in Oahu. Since Marella herself is based in North Shore and there is a travel fee for her to go farther out, she mentioned to me a few of her associates and where they could take pictures with no travel costs. At first I was considering taking photos in Kailua or Lanikai since I love the aqua blue of the waters there, but Marella ended up giving me more recommendations of where we could go that was closer to our side of the island. We ended up going with her associate Michelle after looking through sample galleries of her associates' work and based on the pictures I liked from Michelle's gallery, Marella made more recommendations of where to go and what time of day to get the effect I wanted. She was never pushy for me to commit and offered me plenty of suggestions even before I booked her associate! Booking an associate is slightly cheaper than booking Marella, but she still does all the coordinating and the editing. The day before the shoot I texted Michelle to check in and made sure we were meeting at the agreed upon spot. Michelle actually wanted to meet further down the beach so it was a good thing I did check in! We had a lot of fun with her and felt very at ease during our photo session! She ended up taking a little longer than an hour because we were having fun and she had some ideas she wanted to try and we never felt rushed. Michelle would also adjust my hair or if anything looked kind of out of place and coach us when she needed to get the right angles to show off the bump. She was very professional and fun to work with and helped us incorporate a few props and specific photos I wanted! After the session, Marella did check in with us to see how it went and told us she would keep us posted on the edits. What I thought was pretty nice about her package was that with the associate package, we got to pick out 30 from our fully edited gallery, or pay an additional amount per photo, or buy the whole gallery for another $100. I think because Marella edits the whole gallery for you to choose from, her post production time ends up being longer than some other photographers. She originally said 4-5 weeks but because I was having a baby shower sooner that I wanted to use some of the photos at, she managed to get me the gallery at 3 weeks. We bought the entire gallery for the extra $100 and got almost 150 photos!! It was totally worth the extra money since I liked almost all the photos! I really appreciated her trying to figure out what I wanted as a client and being flexible to fit that. I wouldn't mind using her and her associates again in the future if I were in Oahu and needed a photo session. And I found her prices very reasonable and her work to be reliable and professional! A few of my friends who are from Hawaii even asked me to tell them more about the photographer because they liked the photos :) Thank you Marella!!
