Bob gave our family an absolutely unforgettable photography experience in Waikoloa, Kona on June 17, 2026. From the very beginning, he took his time, made us feel comfortable, and allowed the session to unfold naturally. He basically let us be the orchestrators, yet somehow still knew exactly what we were looking for before we even had to say it. The pictures came out so beautiful. Every photo felt alive, warm, and full of meaning. I honestly never knew sunsets could be captured the way Bob captured them. The colors, the light, the emotion, and the setting all came together in a way that felt almost magical. What impressed us most was that Bob did not just take pictures of our family. He captured our ohana, our connection, and the true spirit of aloha. These are not just photographs; they are memories we will treasure forever. We are incredibly grateful for his patience, talent, and eye for detail. I would highly recommend Bob to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not only the moment, but the heart and soul behind it. read more

Don't hesitate--just book him! You won't be disappointed. He is everything you could want in a photographer: professional, talented, patient, kind, and incredibly responsive and organized. He effortlessly coordinated our entire family of 11--including three separate family groups--and made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. From the moment we met him, he made us feel like ʻohana (family), which made the entire experience so natural and enjoyable. He gave great direction, paid attention to every detail, and captured every combination we wanted. We haven't even received our photos yet, and I already know they're going to be absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be happier with the experience and highly recommend him! Thank you again, Bob! read more

Working with Bob and his son was a phenomenal experience. My family doesn't really like taking pictures (lol) and he had them relaxed and laughing in a matter of minutes. He had the pictures to us in just a few days (while we were still here on vacation!) And they are more than pictures. They are works of art. Highly recommend! read more

Planning a session with Bob for July. Very easy to contact and good communication. This all in addition to the quality work we saw posted on the internet. We can say more afterwards. read more

This man goes above and beyond for the sake of the couple and capturing their special moments. He partnered with us for our engagement photos - doing so at a very generous price, considering his high level of skill - and did a phenomenal job of making us feel like we could be ourselves in front of the camera. He cued us well, engaged with us easily, and was willing to go on a bit of an adventure with us to get the pictures we were really hoping for. No promises that he'll climb a tree or jump into some chilly water for the best shot possible, but he did for us! It was a pleasure working with him, and we look forward to any opportunities to do so in the future. read more

Bob and his team were great. They have a great eye for scenery and providing good direction to our groups. The photos came out amazing and were given to us the very next day. Thank you Bob and the whole Eye Expression Photography team! read more

Bob is an amazing photographer, friendly, fun (he makes smiling easy), kind, and professional. We met Bob on the Pickleball court and through our conversations discovered he is a photographer. Our family was visiting and we thought it would be great to schedule a photo shoot. It was beyond our expectations- wonderful memories were captured by his creative eye. If it was possible to give ten stars we would. Our only dilemma is deciding which photos to order as all are magnificent. read more

Bob was our photographer over 7 years ago at our wedding in Hawai'i. I researched photographers on the island by looking at their portfolio and speaking with them. I knew Bob was the one immediately. He took beautiful pictures and captured the emotions of the day. We had a small wedding on the beach then an evening reception. He gave us the rights to the pictures, gave us the electronic file and gave us the best package. We spent $8,000 on our wedding and that includes our flight to Hawai'i and the photographer! I still look through my wedding album! You will not find a better package on this island. If you're a local or tourist with a destination wedding, you have to book him. I'm getting ready to contact him for family pictures this winter. read more

Bob and his son were wonderful. they showed up on time. We wanted photos for the family and and for the individuals, before and during sunset. Bob knew where to take the photos and was very fast and efficient. The result is a gallery of beautiful photos that we will treasure. I recommend him highly and will definitely se his services again.

BOB IS THE BEST! I used him for our engagement/proposal photos and I couldn't be happier! GENTLEMEN: If you are thinking of popping the question in Hawaii, listen up! Bob was able to help me every step of the way and took a lot of pressure off of my shoulders. Yes, I called him several times out of sheer nervousness. He was kind and had great suggestions for when and where to do it. We masked the proposal as a "family photo shoot" so my (now) fiance wouldn't know (she said yes!). We took a few family shots and then he paired us off into couples. When it was our turn, he had us walk away down the shore and that's where I popped the question. I can't say this enough: GET YOUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS DONE AT THE SAME TIME AS YOUR PROPOSAL!!!!!! Bob was able to catch all of our emotions as they were happening and the photos were spectacular. He was able to coach us into perfect poses which had to be a challenge since I am not very "photogenic". We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Bob did an amazing job and I am blown away at the results. Chose him!!!! read more

Eye Expression Photography - Proposal! - Session Photography Near Me - Kailua Kona, Hawaii

We had hired Bob for our destination wedding January 5th at the Four Seasons Hualalai. HE WAS GREAT!! Really knew what to say and what to do to get the best shots possible. Was able to get both formal shots that you would expect from a wedding as well as a ton of candid shots. He was so easy to work with and you didn't even realize he was there during the ceremony, but got some fantastic shots!! I would highly recommend Bob and Eye Expression Photography for any photography needs you might have in Hawaii!! read more

Bob and Eye Expression Photography is awesome! We hired Bob for our engagement photoshoot. From the moment I contacted him to the moment we got our photos, he was friendly, helpful, professional, and very communicative. We are not from Kona (not even from Hawaii), we decided to get our engagement photos taken while on vacation, so we had no idea where to go for good scenery. Bob made a bunch of suggestions based on what I told him we liked, and all those places turned out beautiful - we ended up choosing a forest preserve and the cliffs for our shoot. During the photoshoot, he made us feel so comfortable, and all the photos came our so beautiful. They captured our love perfectly, and felt very authentic to us. Thank you Bob and Eye Expression Photography for an awesome engagement photoshoot!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Bob. First, he was extremely responsive to any emails or questions. This is always a plus when you are planning a destination wedding and you've never met your photographer. We didn't get to meet Bob until the day before the wedding, and once we met him we knew it was going to be a good fit for us. He was calm and confident which put us at ease. On the day of the wedding Bob was awesome. He was able to get all of the photos we wanted and more. He was organized and went through all of our family picture combinations in an efficient manner. We were also able to get pictures with all of our different groups of friends before the reception even started. And I can't say how happy I am that we have a group picture of everyone that made it to the Hawaii to celebrate with us. On the boat ride reception, Bob was able to capture some great moments and was never intrusive yet always seemed to be there to capture the good moments. A quick anecdote about how great a job Bob did. A member of my husbands family enjoys taking pictures too. The last family wedding he had his camera out and was taking tons of pictures. For our wedding, his camera was down the entire time. When I asked him about why he wasn't taking pictures he said, "You're photographer is doing an amazing job and is capturing all of the moments I would have." After the wedding, Bob got use six "Sneak Peak" photos so we could use them for social media. These were invaluable and I was able to show people the pictures easily so when I arrived back on the mainland I didn't have to tell everyone I didn't have any pictures yet. Now, on to the most amazing part. It was very hot the day of the wedding. My husbands shirt was showing some sweat spots. And, these showed up in some photos. Bob was able to take a picture of his "dried" shirt and then fix the photos where the spotting was bad. I was so happy this was able to work. It made a bunch of great photos even better. Thank you so much Bob for making our wedding day an amazing one. Mahalo, Ryan and Zach read more

Bob is an amazing photographer! We had a family sessoon with 10 of us and he got many great shots. He had our 4 Grandchildren doing just what he wanted! He was patient and moved us around on the beach to get many different picture! So many great shots, don't know how we will pick!!! read more

For our recent wedding, my wife and I put the highest importance on having great photos to remember the event by. Bob exceeded every expectation that we had; the photos were really outstanding. He is one of those very rare individuals who really loves what he does and it shows through his work. I was a little nervous when we got there because the stress of the day and late stylists caused my bride to be quite stressed out. Bob put her immediately at ease and captured great photos of moments that I didn't even realize happened. He was great at capturing the event as it happened, being at all the right places at the right time, yet was never "in the way" being very accommodating to all of our guest's photos. I recommend Bob for any event as I am sure that he will do an amazing job. I really can't say enough. read more

We got married almost 2 1/2 years ago on Oahu and after enjoying his work for my sister's wedding on the Big Island, we decided to save ourselves the stress and trouble when we were planning our wedding and just fly Bob Brown out to shoot our wedding as well. I'll pretty much reiterate what everyone else had said here already - that Bob is a real professional, but also a very warm guy that you'd love to take out to dinner and chat with. He has a fantastic eye for capturing the natural beauty of the event and the subjects, and he treats your special event with utmost priority. Since we flew him out to another island, he was also sweet enough to stop by our hotel rooms (mine and hubby's) to capture a few prep photos as well. And during the shoot, Bob is so easy to work with. Its been over two years, so I don't recall all the details, but Bob is truly a sweet and talented soul! read more

Bob has done our family's photographs for the past 8 years. Every time, he captures the natural feel of our family and the beauty of our setting. We highly recommend him for all your photo needs! read more

If you're looking for someone whose passion for photography shows through in his work, you've found him. My husband and I were just married on the Big Island and were lucky to have found Eye Expression Photography. Planning our wedding online from the mainland was made easy by Bob's always prompt communications and flexibility. His suggestion for a beach wedding location was absolutely perfect! He covered our ceremony without ever being intrusive and was extremely efficient in snapping all our family portraits, followed by his many great ideas for our bride/groom portraits. We received an online preview of our photos shortly after our trip, and our full DVD was received just a few weeks after our wedding. We could not have been happier with how our photos turned out. All of the photos are wonderful, but then there are some that are just absolutely amazing and breathtaking! My husband and I both had friends who are not fans of weddings compliment Bob's photos as being "magazine worthy." I cannot thank Bob enough for what a wonderful job he did for us. We will always be grateful - he captured our wedding day and has preserved it for us forever in such a beautiful, artistic way. Thank you!! read more

We were so lucky to have Bob as our photographer (and his assistant) for our destination wedding at the Hilton on the Big Island. He had the best sense of humor and really made the whole experience fun. Our Friday the 13th wedding could not have been captured better -- he figured out pretty early that we were a bit strange and made sure to really find the quirky and make it look fantastic. Bob was super fast in getting us all of our photos even when we were much delayed in getting back to him. His professionalism never wavered. I wish that he had a home base out to the mainland too so I can recommend him to my local friends. Its not just about the awesome quality of his work, his incredible patience and upbeat personality is total package that you will not be able to beat. Just sayin'. read more

Bob photographed our engagement during an vacation on the big island. He was so great! The pictures looked astonishing. He and his assistance arrived at the location early to discuss best shot angles. Bob gave us some really good suggestions regarding to the poses and captured the unforgettable moments. The background of sunset on the shore in his photos was spectacular, which seemed to make our love frozen at that moment forever. I would highly recommend Bod if you want some really awesome pictures! read more

Bob photographed my wedding and did an amazing job! He has a wonderful personality which made photographing everyone (including kids) easy and fun.

Bob did my sisters wedding in 2011 and did such a phenomenal job. Since her wedding, Bob has done photos for our family vacations. There is nothing better than a picture on an amazing vacation to make the memories last forever. I'm excited to have him shoot me and my soon to be fiancé in Hawaii later this summer. Capturing an event like this is once in a lifetime and I'm so excited for that day. read more

Bob is a truly talented photographer! He knows how to make the subjects look good and feel comfortable during the shoot. Sometimes we just forgot he was there snapping away those amazing images. Our Daughter's wedding photos were truly perfect. Thanks Bob and Eye Expression for capturing our favorite moments to be cherished forever! read more

Bob is amazing! He takes incredible photographs and has an eye for simple beauty. Our family had the pleasure of working with Bob 10 years ago for family photos and 9 years later, we returned to the Big Island with intentions of getting more family photos taken since our family has grown since then. My brother was planning to propose to his long-time girlfriend during these photos so I reached out to Bob and the two orchestrated the most perfect proposal, all while capturing it on camera. Bob became "part of our family" in that moment! He is extremely personable and will work to get the exact photos YOU want. He makes the process so enjoyable- even my picture-hating husband had a good time! Highly recommend Bob for your photography needs. read more

We were in Hawaii and wanted to do engagement photos for our upcoming wedding. We found this site on a Google search and called. Bob was great to deal with and very easy going. He helped us with ideas for fun and cool shots and we had a great fun experience with him. There was no extra cost to work with him vs going through the hotel so that was a great benefit and the hotel knew he was coming as he has a great relationship with all the staff there. Bob also took some really amazing photos. His delivery of the digital files was on time and in budget. Thanks bob. read more

Bob helped us out for my grandparents vow renewal back last summer in Hawaii, and he's the best. He sends you an email of quality pictures and it really captures the moment. These guys know what they're doing and by far are the best photographers we've seen. read more

We really enjoyed our photo session with Bob, and loved the pictures. We were a family of four in Hawaii on vacation. Arranging the time was easy, and Bob came to a beach location near us and had all the spots planned out from his prior experience there. He even helped us find a turtle on the beach, knew the exact location where they might be resting. He is very relaxed, which is what we like, and he was able to get the kids to smile and everyone had a good time. The hour went quickly, no complaining from the kids (or my wife!) and we just received the link to our full set of photos for download. Easy, fun, and great results! And my wife is picky (shhh), so if she was happy, that's a real sign of success! read more

Such an AWESOME photo session on the Big Island! Photos are GORGEOUS! Bob seriously hit the nail with our family pictures! I can't believe these are even real!

Out of 220 photos, there truly is not one throw away. I love looking at the pics and remembering what a fun time we had taking the photos and being on vacation. read more
