These photos turned out way better than expected. Nichole is very down to earth. My wife and I dont like being center of attention so there is this natural awkwardness when getting photograph that Nichole was able to distract us from. Appreciate all the hard work and photos.

THIS IS A MONEY TRAP!!! They survive on milking you for every penny in a special moment !! VERY…read moreEXPENSIVE!!!!!! PRICE IS NOT REASONABLE!!! Trap you by leaving you no choice in purchasing the portraits because they do not go over prices !!!!! Of course I assumed it would cost a few hundred or more but not THOUSANDS!!!!! YES NO JOKE THOUSANDS!!!!! 1. You and your family have already invested time and made it a day of getting in for the shoot, 2. Who has time to take off from work , make new arrangements getting everyone together!! I went in for the meeting to set up a date and talk about the portraits I wanted. my family arrived on the scheduled date and time... we are a big BIG family ... we were rushed, not getting the shots we wanted, we were not asked what backdrop we wanted, were given the ugliest stools for the kids to sit on!!! We were not told the fees UNTIL WE WENT IN TO PICK OUT THE ONES WE WANTED !! I wanted to vomit !!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY ..SAVE YOUR TIME AND DONT FALL INTO THE MONEY TRAP!!!

Man was I wrong to think that. Hayward was amazing with her. Though the whole process I hoped that he got the shot. My daughter was being her usual spunky self so I decided to use the opportunity to do a me and her shot. When we went to view the shots, it was SO hard to decide on the one. He had amazing shots of all of the positions. So yes, you guessed it we ended up getting them ALL. The final product was AMAZING as well. The framing will go well with everything in my house and the presentation was exceptional If you need portraits done, I highly recommend using Hayward Gaude Photography.

We booked a family photo session with Mel while we were on vacation. Our friends had previously…read moreused Mel and they recommended her. We corresponded over email and her response time is about a day or less. She has about 3 different packages and about 9 locations she likes to shoot at. We chose Kualoa regional park because it had a few different backgrounds (beach, mountains, outriggers, and dock). On the day of the session she met us at the park and we walked to the locations. She was very easy to work with and she was pretty in tune with the needs of our 1 and 2 year olds. When the girls got fussy or didn't feel like cooperating she would shoot couples pictures of us. Her prices are very reasonable and the pictures came out amazing. We will definitely use her services again if we're back on Oahu.

Mel recently did a photo shoot for our extended family while we were visiting Oahu. I can't even…read moredescribe how great she is! Her professionalism, expertise, and friendliness were second to none! We had our 4 1/2 month old niece and nephew twins there and Mel was so great in not only organizing the photos to accommodate them, but also so great at capturing them also! We stayed in Ko Olina and Mel knew exactly where to do the photo shoot and the best time of day for the beauty and lighting of the photos. The photographs she took were incredible! She was able to get us the gallery so quickly and they are awesome. If you are on Oahu and would like stunning photos from an awesome photographer, I highly recommend In The Light with Mel Photography!

What should have been one of the greatest moments of our lives turned out to be one of the worst…read more We contracted Andres Photography to handle the photography and video for our event. Little did we know this would be one of the worst decisions we could have ever made. In the contract they were supposed to have given us portraits that we never received. As if that wasn't enough, even after asking countless times for our video they never gave it to us. Despite us asking numerous times it took not only months, but over a year for them to let us know that they lost all of our wedding footage. This was devastating to us as people that were not only in those videos but who also left video messages have since passed away. We have no video of our very special day. I can't quantify the amount of stress and devastation this has caused. If you are searching for a photographer/videographer for you special day, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you want to ensure you will have your memories properly captured and your contract honored to its fullest. He was deceptive regarding his services and professionalism and in the end it affected so many things for us.

Samantha, your costumer services skills blew me away. You really made me feel so comfortable before we even got to meet. Jonathan,, you are so talented and gifted! (Party) hats off to this duo!

I'm looking forward to shooting again, and I recommend his work to anyone looking to get boudoir and bodyscape photography done!
