I booked with Isle Media because I loved their work and am friends with the CEO Alan. I booked with them in 2018 and with unexpected life events I had to reschedule with them. After all these years they made it to service our big day that was rescheduled from 2019 to 2024! Isle Media captured our forever through their lense and we can forever relive our day. HUGE THANK YOU to Alan for setting us up with JUSTIN and JOSHUA as our photographer and videographer for our special day. From communication, to details of event, to executing the event, all the way till after. The process was smooth, easy, and fun. They made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and was so much fun to work with. Justin was the whole package and just brought life to our wedding party! He made sure to capture the details in everything. Joshua, our videographer was just amazing! Such a down to earth guy who just wants to make the customer happy. He did that for us and more! Both were so personable that it felt like we knew each other forever. They really out did themselves for us. Plus the turn around time was unheard of. We received our video highlight 3 days after our wedding! And our full wedding video less than 2 weeks! Our photo sneak peeks came in less 4 days after our wedding and our full gallery about 3 weeks after. Our full gallery and videos all within a month which is mind blowing for us. Thank you so much Isle Media! We are forever grateful for Justin and Joshua and highly recommend them!

Alan and his team were absolutely phenomenal!! They were patient with me thru the mutliple rescheduling due to covid and we're very understanding. Alan has a gift of capturing all the right moments with his camera and our videos turned out awesome. I highly recommend hiring their team for your next event!

I love Isle Media! Alan and his entire crew are awesome. As a event coordinator, I am always happy when my clients choose Isle Media for their photography and/or videography services. I know that my clients will be in great hands. The entire crew is responsive, flexible, friendly, and always do such a great job. Their SDEs are my favorite and always make me tear up. Just a few weeks ago, I hired Isle Media to take my daughter's senior photos. Lester was awesome and made my daughter feel so comfortable (her first photo shoot). We received her photos and we absolutely love them all! She is so happy, which of course makes me happy! I'm glad they were able to accommodate us so quickly and in such a short time span. I cannot wait for our family photos to come next!

IsleMedia is just awesome! As part of IsleMedia's series of passion projects, they collaborated with Lanakila Pacific as one of the nonprofit organizations they worked with to tell their stories. We connected with Alan; he and his team were prompt, professional, and flexible. All three elements which made this video project a breeze to complete. A vision was provided to Alan and Makana to what we want the video to look, sound and feel like and the rest was up to them. The product was an amazing heartwarming short of who we are as an organization, our mission, and what we do to serve our community. It was great to work with a media company like IsleMedia as they were able to execute the filming and editing process in a way that you were able to trust them with your vision. Definitely will recommend IsleMedia to others who are looking for a professional media team for all video and photo needs. See the attached photos for some screenshots of the final production of the video.

We had the good fortune of having Isle Media as our photographers and videographers for our wedding this last memorial day weekend and wow! Could not believe how amazing this team was. Matt, Makena, Stacy and Andrew could not be more incredible and professional. They really were able to capture our day in such great detail, providing us with the greatest pictures and video we could possibly ask for. They were very timely with their edits, were able to coordinate our guests into good positions for pictures and even pushed us to take some more creative shots we'll cherish forever. Thank you so much Isle Media & Team. We wholeheartedly recommend Isle Media for your event and hope to work with them again someday ourselves!

My wife (chheeeeehuuuuu can finally call her my wife) and I booked Isle Media because they offered fantastic packages and were complete professionals. The entire basis of their company is an all-in-one package to make it easier on the engaged couples. Their services range from photography, videography, hair and makeup to emcee and entertainment! Isle Media was responsive throughout the entire wedding planning proccess spanning over the course of a year. Furthermore, they contacted us a month before the wedding to finalize everything and made sure we were happy. They even helped us arrange our entire wedding timeline! My wife was very happy with the hair make-up trial and the professionalism Isle Media provided (happy wife equals happy life...jk). On the wedding day, Isle Media arrived prepared and on time. They even made sure that we were on track with our timeline! One of our favorite aspects was that they pulled us aside in between the ceremony and reception to take pictures so that my wife and I could spend some time together alone. If you are looking for a fantastic photographer/videographer (and much more), Isle Media is the way to go!!

Isle Media is a very professional company and provide top notch services. They were very responsive to any of our questions that we had. We were able to communicate with Alan and Samantha but worked with Lester, Sam, Kela, and Michael. We had them provide our engagement shoot, videography, photography, and the same day edits during the wedding. They did an outstanding job capturing the moment and payed close attention to all the little details. We would recommend working with Alan and his team for any videography and photography services you may need. With love, Mr. & Mrs. Ryan

It's hard to pick the perfect videographer for your special project or for your special day. For us, we wanted to do something different for our wedding and shopped around to find the right company to work with. Isle Media was the first company we met with and Mink was sold. She wanted to work with Alan after seeing some of his work and after she found out he's Thai. So the process began. Alan corresponded with us via text and email. We had an initial meeting with him and he followed up with an email summarizing what was discussed. Shortly after, he drafted a contract and emailed it to us. We reviewed it and asked for a small revision then submitted our deposit to lock in the date. As we approached the date, we contacted him again to prepare for the shoot. He's a busy guy and got back to us as he could with tips to prep us for the shoot. The day of the shoot arrived! 5am and it was pouring rain at the first location. This was disappointing but what made the situation more stressful was that the weather made it unsafe for us to go out to shoot on the boat. We really wanted the boat and Diamond Head/Waikiki Beach in the video. Plan B? We only had moments to think and Alan suggested going East to shoot the sunrise hoping it wasn't raining there. We were in luck and got quite a bit of footage there before the next location. Alan and his team forgot something so they had to go back to grab it before the next location. There was plenty of time so we agreed to meet by the airport at 8:45 to make the scheduled 9:00 plane scene. We arrived at 8:43 and waited but they were stuck in traffic. No biggie because it wasn't raining so we thought we would get some good footage here. They arrived by 9:20 or so and we rushed to the location. It started pouring once we parked! We were disappointed again and prayed for the weather to clear. My friend who was lending us the plane had an appointment to keep and since we were late, we had limited time to shoot. We had limited footage and weren't able to film the plane taking off with aerial footage as we hoped. So far we weren't having much luck with anything. We did what we could with the time that we had. Off to the next location... Luckily our last location was indoors so weather played very little factor in shooting. With the way the day was going, we joked that it wouldn't be raining at the last location. Guess what? It wasn't raining! Oh well...that's how it is sometimes. We shot there and concluded the shoot. Alan did offer to shoot again with the boat if there wasn't enough footage but more than likely they had enough footage. Once the weather improved, we asked about shooting again on the boat but Alan said he would have to charge a fee. We were under the assumption that it would be included since we didn't shoot the full entire time on the original day of shooting. Since we went way over budget on the wedding, we had to decide not to shoot the boat scenes. It was a tough decision but one we had to make. Time passed and it got closer to our departure date for our Thailand ceremony. We contacted Alan again and he replied promptly with a link to our video. He suggested we review it, notate scenes that we would like changed and reply back to the email. During this process, we worked with Rafael on editing. After the first edit, we requested for additional changes and Rafael did a great job at getting back to us quickly. We only did two edits before finalizing the video. Rafael and Alan included our slideshow into the final DVD so that our slideshow would play first and smoothly transition to our video. We thought that was very nice of them to do. The video wasn't exactly what we envisioned from the beginning but it came out better than expected due to the circumstances. Everyone enjoyed the video. They are great to work with, have very creative ideas and are reasonably priced. We recommend them for weddings and special projects.

My husband and I got married at Turtle Bay Resort last October of 2017. We did a lot of research and found Isle Media. Since we are from Los Angeles, we wouldn't get a chance to meet our videographers/photographers in person until we arrived. To be honest, we were a little nervous at first but that quickly went away after we finally met the team. After a few introductions to our wedding party, they quickly started to set up and before I even realized it, they were already recording and taking photos! Lester and Jeremiah had really great direction. I typically feel awkward posing for photos but they were able to make it feel a lot more natural with their direction. They took into consideration any requests we had and were professional and respectful throughout the whole event. There were so many amazing memories throughout the day and I can honestly say they captured every single one of them. One of the things that caught our attention on Isle Media's website was the drone. A lot of the videos on there featured a drone and the shots looked epic. We knew we had to have one, especially because we were having our wedding on a beautiful island. When the day arrived, the videographers had warned us that the drone might not happen since there were a lot of safety restrictions now. To our surprise, they were able to use it and get these awesome shots of our wedding party and these gorgeous sunset shots of my husband and I walking onto the rocky point behind Turtle Bay Resort! Our videographers, Zach and Travis, were just amazing. They had had really great attention to detail and made our videos look so good on screen. We had a crazy dance competition at one point and they really captured everything from there! Near the end of the night, the team had surprised our guests with a Same Day Edit they had made and it was just perfect! It topped off the night and our friends and family are still talking about how it was such a surprise and delight. The photos, the Same Day Edit, the near 1-hour video...everything was perfect. We had the chance after our wedding to meet the owner of Isle Media, Alan, and we were just so thankful we had chosen them. You can tell his passion for helping people cherish these memories is above and beyond. He chose awesome and handsome men to take care of us on our wedding day, so my husband and I are forever grateful to you!

My now husband and I got married on the North Shore of Oahu in March 2020, just before all heck broke loose. We managed to hold the wedding with all involved remaining healthy! Alan Sangpan with Isle Media filmed our event in this difficult time, and we couldn't be happier with his work! In this difficult situation, he had a definitive plan and worked for his shots without being intrusive. The finished product exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Isle Media for your videography needs (when we are allowed to have weddings again :-) read more

I highly recommend Isle Media!! I used them as my videographers for my wedding this past summer. With my package I added on the Same Day Edit (SDE) video, which was shown at the reception, and all I can say is "WOW!!!" Everyone at the wedding was just blown away with the quality of the video that had been produced in just a few hours. Even after the wedding I have used that video to share with people and have kept the longer video for my own personal viewing. Not knowing who the actual videographers were going to be on the day of, I was very impressed by the staff and how professional, timely, and friendly they were. They made the whole process so much fun! Everything was so natural and they also worked very well with my photographer! I would definitely hire them again for future videography needs. read more

Alan and the crew are AMAZING! They have so much experience, they simply make suggestions that made our wedding better! They're very easy to work with, Lester, our photographer was extremely easy to work with and was very open minded to our suggestions. They are very up front, open and honest. They genuinely did their best to make our wedding the best it can be on a budget we give them. They didn't try to up sell us, the simply offered us suggestions and, most importantly listened to what we wanted. The photographers were on-time and captured everything we asked. I like that they are a one-stop-shop. You can get everything you need from them. The same day edit of our wedding was phenomenal. Everyone at the reception couldn't believe that the editing was done the same day. Check out our same day edit here. https://vimeo.com/102504704 I trust Isle Media with ALL of our family's functions. They even did a short video for my father's funeral that was also nothing less than extraordinary! I highly recommend them for any event you'd want captured on film. Isle Media simply set a new standard and will give you the most for your money! read more

We chose Isle Media to take our family photos while vacationing in Oahu this Summer and are so glad we did! The entire process from beginning to end was very professional and the team was very responsive when we had questions. Our photographer was Reese; he was able to capture so many great shots of our family (our 1-year-old had a fun time!). The location was beautiful and provided so many different backgrounds giving us a nice variety of photos. We highly recommend Isle Media and cannot wait to visit Oahu again next year and schedule our next family photo shoot! Thanks again Alan, Reese, Samantha, and Michael for the wonderful experience. read more

My husband and I are very very very very glad we chose Isle Media to do the videography for our wedding. Alan and his team were amazing from the beginning. Alan made the both of us feel very comfortably and at ease in front of the camera during the shooting of our love story. He was also very patient with us in getting the right shots and assisted in choosing a location that fit our inspiration. On our wedding day, they captured the nerdiness of my husband and his groomsmen perfectly (with their lightsabers) and the emotions of our guests and family members. We highly recommend Alan and his team to capture your special day or event. Thank you thank you thank you Alan and Team!!! read more

Alan and his team were on point from the very beginning. Their attention to detail is what really stood out to my wife and I. They were very easy to talk to and patient with us with the slight delays we encountered. When the photos and video came out we were beyond amazed. Mahalos for all the hard work boys! read more

My husband and I are so glad we chose Isle Media to take our wedding photos and reception video this past spring in Oahu. From the beginning they were very professional and prompt with responding through email. Our photographer was Reese and videographer Jamie. Prior to our wedding day they made sure they knew every moment that was important for us to capture. Our photos were PHENOMENAL! They even gave us a sneak peak that day and we were blown away at the quality. They went above and beyond to capture those big and small moments, and were very attentive to detail. We are so grateful for the work everyone at the Isle Media team did to make sure we had our memories captured forever! read more

Isle Media was amazing. We had an excellent consult prior to our wedding day and they knew everything to ask me that I would not have even thought of. Day of was a dream - everything ran smoothly (they had our schedule memorized) and we barely noticed we were being videotaped. Our same day edit was beautiful and so nice to share with family instantly. Fast forward two years - I was unable to find our video (I must not have saved the file and did not realize). I emailed Isle Media (I was worried I may not be able to recover our video) and they responded within hours and had a new link for me to download. I now have our video safely stored in multiple locations!!!! Thank you to the entire Isle Media team. I would use you again and again. read more

We got married in May 2017 at Kualoa Ranch, Paliku Gardens and hired Isle Media for photography, videography, and DJ services. Overall, they were simply incredible to work with. They were extremely friendly and accommodating throughout the entire process. Photography and Videography: We had 2 photographers and 2 videographers on the day of the wedding for 8 hours. Reese and Lester (photographers) and Zach and Daylin (videographers) were so friendly and made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. They captured some great photos and have a great eye for what will look good in a photo or video. They went above and beyond when it came to making sure the bride was comfortable, even if that meant using their own shirts as blankets so the wedding dress wouldn't get dirty when we sat on the ground. Zach and Daylin captured all the best moments on video so we didn't miss a thing when we rewatched our highlight and full video! DJ: We hired on DJ Kevo as our wedding DJ, and he was fantastic. He was very receptive to song requests and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire night. There was never a lull during the reception dancing. He also doubled as an emcee and was perfect during that piece as well, saying all of the bridal party names accurately during the grand entrance, announcing the schedule and keeping everyone moving to where they needed to be, and keeping things lively throughout the night. We HIGHLY recommend using Isle Media, and if you can, request the guys mentioned above! read more

Isle media did an awesome job with my photography and video for my wedding ceremony and reception. But what I am more impressed by their kindness. We had someone break into our home and stole my laptop and hard drives, which had my photos and video on it. I was completely heartbroken. I called isle media asking if they by chance still had since my wedding was 2015 and every year they clear their storage. However, they were able to retrieve my photos and send me the link. I am forever grateful for their kindness. They definitely do care about their clients and will treat you like their own family. read more

I had my wedding at the Halekulani this past year. My husband and I ended up choosing a photo + video package for the day which included 2 photographers/videographers with 8-10 hours of coverage. We also had our floral arrangements done by Isle Media. This company offers every service you can think of: Photo, Video, Hair, Makeup, DJ, MC, Lighting, Coordination, Officiation, and Floral. For us, being able to group services definitely helped to simplify the wedding planning process. My husband and I were planning a destination wedding from Toronto, Canada and booking vendors without meeting them beforehand was a bit of a challenge. However, hiring Isle Media was one of the easiest decisions we had to make. Every out-of-country bride does their research..starting off by googling/yelping "best videographer/photographer". Just take a look at their portfolio and you will see why so many people choose Isle Media. I found myself re-watching other couple's wedding videos. The stylization and video editing is always on point - every video is unique and they always manage to capture stunning aerial shots/candid moments throughout the day. We were fortunate enough have an informal meeting with Alan about a week before the wedding to finalize details. He was very organized, down to earth and really listened to our ideas about the wedding. For the actual wedding day we had Reese and Lester (& co.), they had the timeline down to a tee (even though we had met with Alan). These guys are so skilled, they gave great direction to get an amazing shot but also went along with any suggestions we had. What I remember most: everyone was so thoughtful and considerate, constantly checking in with me throughout the day. The team was extremely professional but at the same time fun and easy going which helped to unravel some pre-wedding nerves. We were absolutely thrilled with our end product. The turn around was less than 3 months and the proof is in the pictures. Our home is filled with canvas prints from the day, and we continue to get so many compliments on our wedding video. Mahalo Isle Media for exceeding all our expectations! We'll be back :) read more

Isle Media is hands down the perfect vendor for photography and videography. Alan and his team took time and captured the smallest of details that helped make our day perfect. After showing our short clip with our guests, our engaged couples attendees already were inquiring about their services and availability for their wedding. I would strongly recommend Isle Media for any event. Cheers to Isle Media for helping capture the most perfect day of our lives. read more

We booked our DJ, Emcee, and Photographers through Isle Media. We couldn't be more happy and satisfied with their servicesz the DJ and Emcee were fun and entertainingly The photographers met our expectations and caught each valued moment. We would recommend Isle Media to all friends and family! read more
We wanted to do a really nice baby announcement photo. So we decided to use Isle Media! We wanted to take our pictures at Koolina, but the day before was storming so we were unsure weather or not the next day would have good weather; but it turned out to be a beautiful day. We've seen the work they've done through the years they've been in business and have always loved it. Since we had Tracy's (bf) dog included in our pictures, our photographer made us feel very comfortable and he was very patient with everything (Reece). As you can tell you can never predict what a dog might do next, Kona (dog) had his moments but Reece was still able to work through them. We enjoyed taking the photos as our photographer made us feel like our natural self. After looking through the photos, we were very satisfied! You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into the details of each photo; treating it as their own piece of art. I highly recommend Isle Media for all occasions and precious moments like our Baby Announcement! Mahalo Isle Media LLC. Tracy & Angela read more

We've known the gang at Isle Media for some time now. From our initial meeting, to our engagement session and our wedding, I cannot recommend Isle Media enough! Now, we've come full circle with them and in November 2015 Reese did the photography for our daughter's first birthday party. I'm just so glad that for the stressed out mom, they are super easy to contact and do their best to accommodate even our last minute requests. I'm glad that we decided to hire them again for the party. The pictures Reese captured of Kylie's first birthday - just awesome. It was the perfect mix of candid shots and group pictures that perfectly captured the atmosphere of the day and left us with great memories to share with friends and family. There's honestly nobody else that I would trust with my family photos, like, EVER. The talent, the eye for photos and the fact that they are so easy to work with and get along with make them the best and easiest choice! read more

My best friend/maid-of-honor insisted I go with them, and I am so glad that we did! We chose to have 1 photographer + 1 videographer for 8 hours. My best friend also decided to gift us with the same-day edit service! We were so lucky to have that service - our guests really enjoyed it and it was nice to look back at what happened throughout the getting-ready process. Alan, Lester, and the whole team were very quick to respond to any questions/concerns we had. They coordinated well with our wedding coordination team (Aloha Bridal Connections) and were so quick to give us a sneak peak at the photos! We just received ours a little over a month and a half from the wedding date, now just waiting on the videography :) Highly recommend them for all of your wedding needs! Thank you Isle Media! read more

I would like to thank Isle Media from the bottom of my heart for playing such a huge role in our special day. The photography and videography services, and final products that we have received, were and are of A+ standard. From the moment I first came across Isle Media, I was sold and very ready to sign on the dotted line for their services. But having an overseas wedding, I wanted to be sure, so I did some further due diligence which included reading multiple review sites, looking over their website and watching quite a few videos on vimeo and instagram. After comparing them carefully, and speaking with Alan, I was confident I'd be in good hands. Without a doubt, it was the easiest and most natural decision we made with regards to our wedding day, and I'm so very glad we did! Perhaps we should have known then, just how easy and fun Isle Media would make the entire photography and videography process. At every step Isle Media was professional and attentive. The team adapted and fitted in to the pre-ceremony preparations with ease, particularly working around me as I was getting ready with minimal disruption! The way the whole team carry themselves, communicate to those of us in front of the camera, coupled with everyone's easy nature and patience is a true testament to you all and your professionalism. But Isle Media, did much more than capture our wedding day. They were attentive to our needs, responsive in communications and always presented to us with a can do attitude. They may cost a little more than their competitors but trust me when I say, it's worth every cent. The quality and craftsmanship of the final product by far exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier with our photos, and our short and long version videos. All I can say to my fellow brides (and grooms) is do yourself a favour, book Isle Media, tick photography & videography off your list, take a breath and be assured your special day will be captured perfectly. I cant recommend them more highly. If I had to do it all again, I'd book them in a heartbeat! :-) read more
I got married a few months ago and hired Isle Media for my videography services which included full edit, and SDE (same day edit) and 2 videographers with 8 hour coverage. I'm very happy with my decision and do feel that it was worth the investment. I first learned about the company thru Wedding Cafe Showcase and their product truly stood out from the rest. Of course, everyone's needs/wants are different but I knew that I wanted a more trailer/cinema type of feel and they definitely delivered! I think they are very consistent in their product. If you watch their uploads (on Vimeo or through their facebook links) you will definitely notice the patterns. I must say I watched upwards of 50 of their videos for other couples. Yup, this is how I spent my commute the 3 months leading up to my wedding. What I loved the most was my SDE. The experience of watching it and sharing it with my family and friends was absolutely amazing. At first I wasn't convinced I needed the SDE, but then my coworker talked me into it. It was totally worth it for me. My reason was that I painstakingly planned every detail of my wedding and the SDE was the only real "surprise" for me, and it was so amazing to have someone else take your wedding day and package it into a beautiful cinematic experience, something beyond what I ever could have imagined myself. Overall, I definitely recommend this company. Very professional, and easy to book. I did have a minor mishap with the drone coverage, but the company handled it very professionally. Give them a call, because they do book up fast! read more

Wow! I am so happy with the video of our ceremony that the Isle Media team created for us. Everything turned out beautiful and the editing is fantastic. Thank you guys for piecing together our big day in such a beautiful way. I highly recommend using Isle Media. My only regret is truly not hiring them for the entire day. You guys are so talented! Thank you again. read more

The Same Day Edit shot by Isle Media was one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding. Alan and his team were incredible to work with, from the extra time they spent with us during the rehearsal dinner to helping coordinate fun and comfortable shots on wedding day, they delivered in every way. They were caring, fun, easy to work with, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, got our guests involved in the fun...and you hardly even noticed their presence during the reception. The emotions captured by Isle, displayed during our reception in the SDE, made for a truly spectacular presentation and one that we'll never forget. Our guests were talking about it all night, the day after, and will be for many months to come. We even had a handful of engaged couples present at the wedding that ended up booking with Isle Media after seeing our SDE during the wedding. A true testament to how STUNNING, emotional, beautiful and magical the video was. I think we can speak for everyone when we say it totally blew us away! We couldn't recommend Alan and his team more! For any on the fence about hiring a Isle Media or hiring a videographer in general, we are firm believers that it is worth EVERY penny. It's a gift we'll truly cherish forever. That is priceless. read more

Save yourself the time of looking for another photo/video team. These guys are it! They've got the freshest takes and are beyond accommodating no matter the situation. Organized and omnipresent, these guys capture the best moments- getting both the traditional shots, but also the great candid moments. Great energy all day and the team and company portal is a dream to work with. People can't stop talking about the highlight video they put together for my wedding! read more

These guys are simply the best! I was looking to create some content for our personal training business but wasn't really sure what that would look like. They sat down with me, asked questions regarding the business, listened, and created a story telling our business through video. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND these guys and will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks Alan! read more

Isle Media is amazing! We've worked with Lester numerous times for photos and he makes things so easy and fun. Lester is very easy going and just captures the most beautiful images. We met Lester a few years ago at our first photo which was for no special occasion. We were so nervous because we've never taken professional pictures before and we didn't know how to act or pose, etc. Lester made it very comfortable for the both of us and we were able to just be ourselves, and because of that, our pictures were more than we could ever ask for. A few months later, we got engaged and we didn't want anyone else to take our engagement pictures but Lester. We knew we wouldn't be disappointed! A few days before the wedding, Alan asked if we could meet up for a quick shoot prior to the big day. He wanted to capture additional things, knowing that we may not be able to get specific shots the day of, like drone shots, etc. because our reception was held on Hickam Airforce Base. This quick shoot wasn't what we expected, but the turn out was gorgeous. Alan truly has a vision like no other. We can't get enough of their work. Finally, our wedding day! Lester, Alan and Reese worked so well on capturing our special day perfectly. They arrived at my hotel promptly and began working immediately. Throughout the day, Lester would always ask if there were any important shots that I wanted or that he needed to take that he may have missed. That in itself made me so happy to know that he was more than willing to do more than he needed. We booked Isle Media for makeup, DJ & Uplighting as well. My bridesmaids LOVED their hair and makeup! Our DJ's were FANTASTIC! Our guests had so much fun dancing the night away because our DJ's were on point! We decided on uplighting last minute, and we were so relieved that we did. Uplighting made ALL the difference, and made our reception 100 times better! We LOVE Isle Media. You'd be crazy not to work with them. read more

If we could do it all over again, we would have totally chosen a different company for videography!! We were OK with our highlight video but were very, VERY unsatisfied with our full length video. They almost TOTALLY left out the groom's side of the family ( I think there were only ONE or TWO shots with them in it. VERY disappointing!) The video's that you see on the website are the better ones, ours came out nothing like what we expected. There was one point in the video while the Best man was giving his speech and the camera went totally out of control and pointed up to the ceiling for a good 5 seconds. We ended up calling Alan to RE EDIT that portion- SOMETHING THAT CLEARLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THE FIRST TIME. It just goes to show how much effort and time really went in to their work. On top of that, Alan was not too professional when I called with my concerns about the lighting. He brushed me off and basically gave me the "we know what we're doing, you don't have a clue what you're talking about" kind of attitude. I understand that he's the "professional" but his attitude really made me uneasy about our big day. read more

After trying to reach out to me and "make things right" only after seeing my review on yelp did Alan contact me. He took things very personal and said that I was jumping to conclusions. He brought up his sick daughter and made me feel like I was the bad person in all this. Please keep your business and personal life separate. And if you really wanted to make things right, all you needed to do was apologize. Stop the excuses. Stay a professional CEO. read more

I can't believe we almost did not have a videographer for our wedding!!! What were we thinking?!? We were referred to Isle Media by our Wedding Coordinator at Aloha Bridal Connections. I checked out their website and was so impressed with their work. I emailed them and received a response shortly after. Alan was great with answering my questions and was able to make recommendations to fit our needs. We initially went with two videographers for 8 hours. After a few months of watching some more of their work, we decided to go all out and add the same-day-edit, I mean, we only get married once, might as well right? We are so glad we did! Our SDE was so amazing and beyond our imagination. By popular demand, we even played it twice at the reception! The suspense of waiting a few months is killing me but at least I can watch our SDE on repeat until then! Alan, you and your team were such a pleasure to work with. It was such a seamless process and sometimes I'd forget you all were around. We cannot wait to see our full edit video!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your amazing talent in capturing our special day. If you're debating whether or not to book Isle Media, you should stop now and just pull the trigger! You won't be disappointed!! read more
Where do I begin? Alan and Isle Media were simply awesome!!! He has been so accommodating since day 1. I found them about a month before my wedding. I preferred not having a videographer, but my mom insisted on us having one at our wedding. I was one of those brides that felt like a video of our wedding was unnecessary. I am so glad I listened to my mom, and thank goodness I stumbled upon Isle Media on a wedding website. Alan is so friendly and nice and was easy to work with. We were able to reach him with all our questions via email and phone. A few weeks before the wedding, we met just once to go over what would happen at the wedding. He told me what to expect and asked me what I wanted from them. My now husband is extremely camera-shy and was afraid, but, at the end of the night, my husband told me that he was very comfortable with the cameras...saying they didn't make him do anything he wasn't already doing. I was excited to see our wedding highlights at our wedding reception. It's amazing how quickly they work to finish the same-day edit. The quality of the finished video was impeccable. I kept whispering to Steve during the video how amazing the quality was. It really looked like a movie. All my guests were simply impressed with the video. They were truly able to capture not just the events of the ceremony but the emotion. It was a very emotional ceremony, and they captured it. Everyone that watched the video said that they got goosebumps and got teary-eyed. THE VIDEO WAS PERFECT!!! Makes me want to renew our vows every year just so I can throw a party and hire Isle Media, again!!! =) Isle Media did an excellent job. I could not have asked for a better finished product and better service from them. They went above and beyond my expectations. The people at Isle Media are professionals at this craft. I HIGHLY recommend Isle Media to anyone and everyone looking for a videographer. These guys are truly THE BEST out there!!! You seriously won't find anyone better than Isle Media!!! http://vimeo.com/33140972 read more

Our initial meeting with the Isle Media team was cool, we met him at his house that also works as his office-- we set up a contract and I received the figures the very next night. We decided that we would do a "How we fell in love" video/photoshoot along with the same day videography, photography and a same day edit. Our first shoot was amazing! His team made us feel so comfortable and they took all of our ideas to heart-- trying their best to incorporate all the elements. We had a blast. The day of the wedding they were right on time and jumped right in. I do feel that his team was a bit unprepared for our unconventional wedding-- as my wife and I are perhaps his first same sex women wedding. Watching our video as it compared to all his other weddings, our overall project lacked the tender moments and were replaced with all the silly non emotional elements. It left me disappointed. It took about 3 weeks to get our photos, they came out beautiful! My only gripe is when you're in the moment of your wedding, you forget how important it is to take as many pictures with your guests as possible. I feel like they could have cued us a bit better-- otherwise you'll end up having absolutely no family photos, as in our case... sorta bummed but oh well. Over all the photos were awesome! The presentation blew my wife and I away! So professional and it really felt like they took pride in their photographs and that WE as clients were important to them. Its like getting that blue box when you shop at Tiffany's-- the packaging is just as important as what's inside. The same day edit was EVERYTHING!!! Every detail was perfect, I can't say anything but WOW!!!! Whomever edited that video did such an amazing job-- I've watched it at least a million times. The drone is insane and really brings this out of this world feel. Like you're on top of the world. I have to be honest, I was more than disappointed with my overall wedding highlights and if I could go back I don't think I would have splurged with the 9 hours of videography. My expectations were so high after been given the taste of our same day edit, our wedding highlights had to better, right?! WRONG... 8 of the 20 minute video was a cut and paste from our same day edit.... NO BUENO. I gave the team 5 songs to use with very specific times in the song to use, which they didn't follow. The first song dragggggggged on forever-- leaving me bored, and that song is one of our absolute favorites! They also missed some very important tender moments... For example, we had our guests pass our wedding bands around and pray over them-- However they cut out the entire explanation made by our efficient-- watching the video you have no idea what they're doing OR how special that moment was. Our brothers sang a beautiful prayer, which was also left out of the video completely. We played a very heartfelt kissing game, which also didn't make the cut. We felt over all the video spent entirely too much time on one thing-- my wife sang a song, and they left the ENTIRE song in there-- it was a waste of 4 minutes. Lastly, the packaging-- I hate to say it, but it was definitely the last thing on their minds and it spoke volumes. Our disc was sent to us in a white CD slip. Big difference than our photographs, you wouldn't even think they came from the same company. I wish I had all the video coverage... so those moments would exist somewhere other than my memory. Overall I would recommend them to other couples interested in photography and a same day edit, I've already referred a few couples and many were interested after seeing our same day edit. However, I would really think long and hard if you want to spend the extra money on having them there the entire time-- I don't think we got much out of it. After watching several other videos of theirs before and after our wedding on his ACTUAL site, not Vimeo I do notice a difference in the quality. Maybe we just didn't give them enough to work with, but I don't feel that our video is on the same caliber as others-- and this makes me sad. My wife is a super happy go lucky woman-- its very difficult to upset her, but our highlight video really put a bad taste in her mouth. We never watched it again. Alans team was AMAZING. Funny and down to earth. Super easy to work with, we had a blast and I'm pretty sure they loved our candy bar ;-) read more
Thanks to Wedding Cafe, we found Isle Media. Once we met Alan and I found out he was Thai, I knew we found the person we're going to work with. In our initial meeting, he showed us some of his work and his drone. We liked what we saw and stayed in communication with him to plan our video shoot. Our communication were through emails and some texts. The first thing we did was sign a contract and send him a deposit to hold the day. During this time, we shopped for different outfits and props. When we didn't hear from them for awhile, I asked my bb to message Alan. He replied with some tips for the video shoot and confirmed locations for the shoot. It rained a lot the day of the shoot and I was about to cry but we got some footage that wasn't in the rain. The shoot wasn't what we had in mind but Alan said not to worry and with editing, we'll be happy with the video. We worked with Rafael during editing and he was really fast in addressing all our concerns. The final video edit was better than I thought but still not exactly what I wanted. Our guests really liked the video and some said it was the best part of the wedding. Alan and Rafael gave us great tips during the shoot and made working with them easy. Seriously shop around no more and work with them, they do good work. read more

When we set the date all I wanted was Same Day Edit. After looking at others I was beginning to get discouraged because I didn't like any or the other companies I saw. All the other companies, looked like a homemade video was slapped in between a production when it came to the ceremony. My wedding planner had sent me a link for Isle media. I instantly fell in love with Isle Media style and loved how it was so different from everything else I've ever seen. Our first meeting with Alan And Lester was so calm so easy! It seemed like he knew what we wanted. Even though we didn't really know how to explain it. I've always felt like, I wanted to leave it to the experts I want them to use their creativity which is what I liked about them to begin with. I don't know how to do their job, so I wasn't about to choose the song of give ten pages of directions for shots I wanted. Leading up to the day, I got so excited just to see how everything was coming out! It was finally here and Yes on your wedding day everything runs late and it can never go on time! I got really nervous and everything was crazy! Alan and his crew were so professional made me and all of my family feel so comfortable in the crazy mayhem of wedding jitters, nerves, makeup and crazy downtime for the boys! My fiancée and his groomsmen felt comfortable and had fun filming along the way. It was almost as if they weren't there! Alan kept telling me it's ok, everything is great! Finally we are done with the ceremony, the picture taking, the Chinese tea ceremony, now the reception, the lion dancing! What a crazy crazy day!!!! We were all so excited to see his amazing work. When it finally played at the reception I was crying again like I had done earlier in the day with happy tears. To relive those moments all over again with my husband and see how happy everyone around us was and how handsome fiancée looked getting ready. How perfect the day really was. It was so amazing, the video was clean so professional, like music video! Haha idk I just know I've never seen anything like it. Everyone was so impressed and could not believe how talented Alan was and how fast he put together my same day edit! Since the link has posted, all of my family members, bridesmaids, photographer, including us and friends that couldn't come have been watching it on repeat!! We can't wait to see the highlights video because the day was so crazy and fun we know it will be awesome like the same day edit. Alan you are amazing and are so talented and we are so happy to have the best as a part of our wedding. Thank you for sharing what you can do with all of the most important people on our lives. Keep doing what you and the team do! You are amazing!!! Recommend with 20 stars read more

My fiancee & I just recently got married on the island of Kauai & I would like to say that we are so glad that we hired Isle Media as our videographer. It was so easy to work with them from the beginning to the end. I had simply emailed them for a price inquiry, next thing we know we signed the contract & booked them because we loved the work they do of the past wedding videos that they have on their website. Alan was great to work with! on our wedding day, its as if he wasn't there, he was not distracting to our ceremony whatsoever. He was always very friendly as well & was always professional & very quick to respond to my emails and questions. Best of all, we were so happy with the turnaround time as far as getting our video & the quality was great. My fiancee and i loved it! as well as our family and friends. I highly recommend Isle Media for your special day because they will create, not just a video, but something that you will cherish for the rest of your lives, unlike pictures, their videography captures emotions from that day that you'll always relive & be able to share for many years to come. Thank you IsleMedia for being a part of our big day! read more

From the first day I talked to Alan, I knew that this company was perfect! Alan was super professional and he and Jeff did an amazing job at my wedding. Words cannot express how happy I am that they literally captured every moment whether it was a happy or sad moment, I felt like I was there all over again. They truly made perfection with my pictures, as well as my highlights and I'm sure my video will be just as awesome! From the starting of my wedding day to the end, they were there capturing the most important day of my life. It was truly my pleasure working with this company and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who would want nothing but perfection. Again, I definitely recommend this company and I would definitely use them at my next wedding if this one doesn't work out...lol, j/k! No but for reals, Alan and Jeff are the BOMB.COM. Isle Media is the BOMB.COM so hit them up and be amazed with perfection!!! Much love coming your way Isle Media, thank you again!!! Seini and Brandan... read more

We just got married in the beginning of February at the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort on Oahu. The team from Isle Media we had were Reese, Jack, Trevor and Kay - all of which were phenomenal. They were friendly, fun and made us all feel really comfortable. They were open to all my crazy ideas - and had great ones of their own. We're at that age where all of our friends are getting married, and now we're the envy of them all since not only did we get our photos and videos in less than 3 WEEKS, they look AMAZING! It's really great that we got all our stuff so quickly - I've heard from so many of my friend that they wait over 5 months - sometimes even a year! I wanted to use a photo for our thank you cards and now we can send out our thank you's quickly. We also did a trash-the-dress photo and video shoot at Eternity Beach on Oahu. So fun!!! Totally felt like we were in a movie :) https://vimeo.com/60588773 read more

overdue update! My husband and me received our wedding pictures and we were left speechless! The pictures are amazing and the moments that were captured just took as back to our special day. We relived our wedding day and that's what we will have forever. We printed copies for our families and images printed beautifully. The case that the CD arrived in has a wedding picture on the cover that Kay selected and she picked a great one. I received pictures in color, black and white, and vintage. Its hard to select a favorite out of so many choices. We are so grateful and happy we got Kay as our photographer from Isle media. She was fun and friendly on our wedding day and you definitely see her hard work reflected in our pictures! :-) read more

I'd like to start off by saying that this review is on behalf of my husband and I, and it is with great pleasure that we write this review for Isle Media! From the beginning of our engagement, to the end of our wedding, and even up until now, it has been a blessing to have Isle Media by our side. Choosing them was not difficult; we did our research like every newly-engaged couple and discovered that although Isle Media is a fairly young company in this industry, we believe their quality of work, expertise, professionalism, and communication style goes beyond what other companies have to offer! With this being said, it was easy to trust and have Isle Media become part of one the most special moments in our lives. My husband and I are camera-shy individuals, and it was extremely comforting to be able to communicate and work with someone like Reese, who was able to work around our shyness and deliver probably the best photos my husband and I have ever taken together. Especially for our engagement shoot, we really enjoyed working with Reese and it was practically a miracle that by the end of the shoot, we were just so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera (I cannot stress how shy my husband and I are with pictures). We strongly appreciated how Reese listened to our needs/goals for the photos because every couple wants their photos to be a certain way! In the end, we even found ourselves reliant on Reese's photography skills/advice and really appreciated his artistic style to capture our poses perfectly. He even took some time after the shoot was over to take more pictures of us with our cat because he knew how important it meant to us! This goes to show how much Isle Media really cares for all their clients! For our wedding day, my husband and I got the opportunity to work with more of Isle Media's crew (Reese, Kyle, Ray, and Julius), and we cannot express how organized they all were. They showed up early and began working immediately. What we really noticed about them was how well they trusted each other and how strong their teamwork and bond was throughout the whole day. They really strive to make you feel special! One of the photographers was even nice enough to hold the train and fix my dress while taking pictures at our different locations. Additionally, the entire Isle Media team was so attentive in trying to capture every special moment for my husband and I that we cannot think of any moment we were unsatisfied, disappointed, or unhappy while working with them. We are extremely happy with all their deliverables and have received endless compliments from our family and friends! In addition to Isle Media's photography and video, Zairrah did an amazing job with my hair and makeup for both our engagement shoot and wedding day! I've always been a simple person, so I know very little when it comes to hair and makeup. Working with Zairrah was extremely comforting and calming. She was great at listening to how I wanted my hair and makeup done, and I was extremely happy with how everything turned out. After working with her for the engagement shoot, I knew my hair and makeup for the wedding day would be perfect! She eliminated one the biggest concerns a bride could have for her wedding day and that is to look amazing in front of her future husband and all the guests! I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup stylist than Zairrah. It's always a huge plus when you work with someone who can make you feel relaxed and so beautiful and natural at the same time! My husband and I highly recommend Isle Media for all their services! You won't find a better company that can deliver photography, video, and hair and makeup and leave you speechless, smiling, and appreciated. We have nothing but great things to say about this company and we know they have a great future ahead of them, so please take some time to look at their amazing portfolio and really consider them for your special moment in life! :) read more

After a horrendous makeup and hair trial one month away from my wedding... Zairrah at Isle Media saved me. For our trial we did 3 hair looks and one amazing makeup application. I didn't really know what I wanted for hair and makeup...and Zairrah worked with my changing vision. Zairrah was so accommodating of anything I wanted to try and never made me feel bad that I was taking too much time. Nothing was a bother for her. I knew this was the vibe I needed for my wedding day. I am anal, especially when it comes to makeup. I usually don't wear much, but when I do, it better be on point or it's coming off. Her makeup application was clean: not messy and very hygienic. Most importantly it was so flattering. She made me feel so pretty, classic, and still myself, only a more glamorous version. I can't recommend Zairrah enough. She's so skilled and provides such great service! read more

Isle Media's photos turned out amazing! I am in love with them and cannot stop looking through every single one! It took some time to receive the final product, but it was well worth the wait! We went with the lite photography and video option and still have almost 600 photos. The team that did our wedding was very nice, friendly, funny, and professional. 100% would do again. read more

I don't know how I could possibly put into words how amazing Isle Media is. No matter what service you hire Isle Media for, they will go above & beyond your expectations. We used them for quite of few of their services, so I'll break them down by service. HAIR/MAKEUP - We used Zairrah for makeup/hair for our engagement session. She is amazing! Even though I didn't have any pictures or samples of what I wanted, she was still able to achieve the look I was going for. She even stayed during the entire photo/video session to touch up my makeup and fix my hair. If hair/makeup wasn't gifted to us by a friend, we would have definitely used Zairrah again for our wedding. PHOTOGRAPHY - Reese's photos speak for themselves. But the best part is what isn't captured in the pictures. He is so accomodating and easy to work with. When I changed our location (literally on the day of our session), Reese (& the entire Isle Media team) accomodated us and never made me feel bad about the last minute change. We were so happy with our engagement pictures, we couldn't wait to see what our wedding pictures would look like. But the day after our wedding, I received an email from Reese...with 5 edited pictures for us to share with family & friends!! I couldn't believe it. Again, his work is amazing. VIDEOGRAPHY - This is probably the number one thing that all of our family & friends keep talking about. They were all blown away by our engagement & wedding videos. Especially our Same Day Edit video. We still can't figure out how Alan and the rest of the team are able to put a highlight together in such a short amount of time. But that just goes to show how good Isle Media is. To top it off, our videos were available to view the very next day! As a bride, your biggest worry is if everything will turn out the way that you imagined. If you choose Isle Media, it will turn out better than you imagined. I can't say enough about Isle Media. read more

This review is long over due. We got married on 6/20/15 and we decided to hire Isle Media for our photographer/ videographer. We also had other services through them and I will do a review for each of the services.. PHOTOGRAPHER: We had Reese do our engagement photo. He was an excellent photographer made us feel at ease especially cause it was our very first time doing professional photos. On our wedding day, Isle Media photography was hired for 9 hours. Reese was also out photographer on wedding day. We took lots of pictures with our entourage and they came out great. I'm quite disappointed that we didn't have much pictures with our family during the ceremony & reception. When family/relatives wanted to take pictures with us at the ceremony, they told us we will have plenty of time to take pictures later at the reception. One of the things I included in my shot list was to take pictures with the guests. Of course when when you're in the moment of your wedding, you forget things. I feel like they could've cued us to take pics with them or they could've snapped some guests pictures. Only after the wedding I realized that we didn't have any pictures with our guests. We were bummed when we saw the final pictures and video. VIDEOGRAPHER: Same day edit turned out awesome especially when we watched it at the reception. I know they are very busy, so I waited patiently for our DVDs. After 3 months of waiting, I ended up emailing them to check the status. Alan emailed me back saying the edit was done long time ago and there's miscommunication about us wanting DVDs. We didn't receive any links on the videos either. I clearly stated we wanted tangible products when we filled out the questionnaires they sent to us at the very beginning. They tried sending us links, but didn't work and they were having problems with their server. SLIDESHOW: Couple weeks before our wedding, I gave them a memory containing all our pictures to be made into our slideshows. A week before the wedding, I heard from Isle Media that somehow our memory got misplaced and couldn't be found. That's not really something we wanted to hear especially when the wedding was approaching. Despite that, lucky thing we had all our pics saved to our laptop & easily copied them into a memory card and give it to them. Overall, our slideshow did turned out awesome cause they put all the pictures. WEDDING COORDINATOR: It was done by Aloha Bridal Connection w/ Natalie. She and her team did an excellent job. We did a separate review on them.. LIGHTING/MONOGRAM: Toward the beginning, Kevin "Kevo" requested a copy of our invitation so he could use the designs into the monogram. So I sent him the invitation card 2 months prior, & he even confirmed that he received it. Around 3 weeks before the wedding, he emailed me saying he didn't get a copy of our invitation and that I needed to sent it to him. I assumed he misplaced it. Again, this is not something I should be hearing. Of course, I don't have anymore invitations left. So emailed him a pdf file. Then, he admits that he later found the original invitation in the middle of designing. He stated that he will have a proof of approval before the wedding. I emailed him couple times requesting the proof, but I didn't get any response. He did email us the proof, but it was around midnight before the wedding, which I didn't get the chance to open my email cause we were already so busy with rehearsals and transporting our stuffs into the hotel.. He apologized on his email for emailing so late, "traveling was harsh, got sick, too much fun, not enough sleep". Sounds like excuses to me. We saw the monogram at the reception, it was so simple, I wish he could've done more designs on it. Not much effort into it. Lighting turned good & it's the color that we wanted.. read more

Dreams do come true. The saying goes that the harder you work, the luckier you are --and this is the case for Alan Sangpan. A little more than five years ago, he was a police officer with The Honolulu PD working at their Pearl City location. The opportunity to photograph a co-workers wedding opened the door to an entirely different career. Things weren't always smooth sailing, but through sheer will, persistence and hard work Isle Media has become a successful globetrotting one-stop shop for brides and grooms. Tonight we celebrated Isle Media's fifth anniversary--! What strikes me about this young company is not only the beautiful photographs and happy clients, but the fact that they strive to create a positive working atmosphere for their staff and also give back to the community. Big Brothers and Big Sisters was there tonight as one of the recipients of Isle Media's generosity. The Humane Society and other local charitable organizations are also on their list. Alan's and thus Isle Media philosophy is one that I share. No man is an island , we all succeed with the help and support of our communities. And to give back makes it full circle. Ho' o Mai Kahi a ina--congratulations! read more

I've never done a review on Yelp before as it takes a great company for me to have to open an account and do a review :) I first heard about Isle Media when I was a bridesmaid at one of best friends' wedding last year. At the time, I was already engaged but hadn't started on the planning yet. When I first met the team, I was very impressed with how to work seamlessly together (the video team and the photography team). When it came time for me to research on photo/video for my wedding this year, I already had Isle Media on my list to contact. What makes Isle Media stands out than other vendors is that they are a one-stop shop. They do photo, video, makeup, DJ, planners, and more. It's basically up to you whether you want multiple packages from them or not. I found that very convenient and painless as I'm already dealing with other wedding stress so for a company that basically covers all wedding vendors, it's a plus for sure. My husband (then fiancé), are actually from Cali so searching for vendors online and calling around can be really stressful. In the end, we ended up booking Isle Media for their photo, video, and makeup. Lester is the lead photographer and the person my friend recommended to contact. When I first spoke with him, he was very courteous and listened to my wishes on how I want the wedding to be captured. Photo and video were one of our priorities for our wedding as those last a lifetime so we didn't want to sacrifice having to book an amateur for our wedding just to save money. However, we also didn't want to blow majority of our money to just photo/video. When I was talking to Lester about my budget, he completely understood where I was coming from and gave me a quote that I could work with. Honestly, out of all of the vendors I called and spoke to, Isle Media's was the most budget friendly for both photo, video, as well as having a same-day-edit. Lester was there to answer any questions as well as recommend any vendors they previously worked with before. Although we haven't met in person yet, he was very responsive to all of my emails and/or texts. When we got to Hawaii a week before the wedding, I met with Lester to finalize on any last minute wedding details. I am so glad that Isle Media helped me with my wedding day timeline since I had no idea what to do. On the day of the wedding, Lester and the rest of the team came around 1pm and just started working away. I really liked the fact that the video and photo team are working together because they aren't stepping on each other's toes. They were also very discreet if needed as at times, I forget that they're even around. They were great in letting us know how to pose and what to do. Although it rained on the day of the wedding, they were game to do an outdoor shot and I was literally blown away by the preview pics that Lester shared afterwards. Oh and I can't forget to say kudos to Zairrah and her beauty team for making me and my bridesmaids look flawlessly gorgeous on the day of the wedding! I basically showed Zairrah how I wanted my hair and makeup as well as the bridesmaids and she just worked her magic. Amazing work Isle Media Beauty team! All in all, I had a great experience with this company and would highly recommend them. They are very professional. They will definitely work with you in terms of budget, help you plan the wedding throughout by recommending other vendors, and will give you an amazing final product that you can't help but just stare at the pictures and watch the videos over and over again (It's exactly what I'm doing :P). Thank you Isle Media for capturing our best day. read more

My wife and I got married back in December and reflecting our experience with Isle Media I feel they deserve a public review from us. My wife had a list of "must haves" when it came to her... I mean OUR wedding. lol... One of them that topped the list was having cinematography. We had met up with several cinematography companies prior to finding Isle Media and never found the one that would work for us. After hours of searching the internet I came across Isle Media. I set up a meeting with them and got a response almost immediately. We met up and before we talked about fine details, Alan told us all about how he got into the business and was completely honest and up front about how long they were doing cinematography for and some of his embarrassing stories. His honesty when talking about his "learning experiences", had me sold.Lots of other places came off as "we are the best and other cinematographers suck" kind of mentality. He shared with us videos that they have done and we were impressed with what we were looking at. A couple companies had told us that WE couldn't pick the music to our video and that the "surprise factor" when going with them. We have sentimental attachments to certain songs and they didn't get that. Alan left it completely up to us and we felt like they were going to be there to capture our day, how we want, to what music we want, and not be "SURPRISED" with a song that we don't like. We did our engagement shoot and Alan was very open to new ideas. He didn't suggest a place and time where it was convenient; he left it completely up to us and never made us feel like our idea was a bad idea. He never rushed to finish our video; he was totally laid back and went with the flow. He kept in touch with us on those months leading up to the wedding and always made sure that he answered any of our questions or concerns. On the day of the wedding, we couldn't ask for anything more from them. They were there on time, dressed professionally, and ready to rock! Throughout the ceremony and reception I can't recall ever seeing them... It was almost like they just blended in with our guests and were not a distraction at all. We had specific things request that we wanted in our Same Day Edit and to our surprise, they managed to make it work. We were so happy with the final outcome that we watch it all the time! As the wedding goes on, the bride and groom tend to forget small parts of the wedding because there is so much going on. Alan and his crew were able to capture those small moments for us and we are grateful to be able to watch it all over again. AND a little note to the future couple that may decide to go with ISLE MEDIA... In the end, it is the bride and groom that makes the video special. Alan and his crew can't edit emotion into our vows, they can't add life to your wedding if you are not able to open up let it all go. They are there so you can hear and watch your vows over and over again. If at the end and you are unhappy with what your watching, the way you looked, how your voice sounded... it's all you... Tell Isle Media what you want them to capture and communitcate with Alan so he knows whats important to you. You have only one time to get it right... Good luck And for Isle Media... Thank you again for all your hard work before, during and even after our wedding. You all were amazing and I'm trying to find another occation to use your service again..lol...Thank You Bryson Martin, Jessi Martin, & Astynn Martin read more

Do yourselves a favor and book this incredible team of professionals!!! A++++++ My wedding was a destination wedding, from our home town of Miami, Florida to Honolulu, HI. I actually did not have a wedding planner, so you better believe I researched every company out there to make sure I got the best and that is exactly what I got, and more! Videographer - Alan: Alan, is truly a gifted individual. Words cannot describe how wonderful it was to work with him. From day one, he answered all my questions and continuously worked with my wedding budget. He not only provided thorough information about his team and their services, but he even was happy to assist with any outside questions I had. I randomly ran across their videos on youtube, and once I saw their same-day-edit videos, I got hooked, and kept watching and wathcing and got more excited as I did. From the reviews and research I did about Isle Media, I knew that they were going to deliver an incredible performance, and I was not disappointed. Our same-day-edit video was magical, truly, it left everyone in tears, and our family members keep telling us how they love to look at it day after day!! Photographer- Reese: Reese was a total sweetheart. Despite only having 50 guests at my wedding, the way my family runs, it felt like 200. Both Reese and Alan were patient and open to shooting different pictures and accomodating everyone's needs. I just got some of my preview pictures of our wedding, and my jaw dropped to the floor! The pictures are stunning!! Not only did he capture the most beautiful moments of our day, but the quality of the pictures are breathtaking! If the previews are this great, well, I can't wait to see the rest of them!!! DJ/MC/Uplighting- DJ "Kevo" Kevin: Kevin is just awesome!!! This was an area of the wedding that I was little nervous about, being that we are a multi-cultural couple, with Greek, Albanian, and Panamanian running through our veins. But have no worries here, Kevin can handle anything!! Everyone, and I mean everyone, was dancing and enjoying themselves thanks to Kevin. Additionally, Kevin set up the lighting in the room which really helped bring out the beautiful colors of our wedding. With his help, our reception was a success and all our guests had a great time. It is not easy to mix so many different cultures and genres of songs together, but Kevin was a smooth as butter when it came to keeping the flow going!! Amazing!! Beuty-Zairrah: Every bride wants to feel beautiful on her wedding day, and Zairrah helped me do just that. She used an air-brush to give me good coverage without feeling caky, and even applied some false lashes to make my eyes pop. She captured exactly the look I wanted and I felt like a princess. My bridesmaids looked stunning as well, and everyone was commenting on how beautiful everyone looked. Besides her natural talent, Zarraih was truly a professional. They say there is no wedding without some drama, and well, when you stick 9 ladies in one room, drama is what you get. Zairrah and her team hadled the situation very professionaly and curteously and left me the bride, at ease. IsleMedia is beyond words incredible! Throughout the course of our wedding planning, not only did we gain a partnership but friendship as well. They are like family to us and we are so honored to have had them as part of our wedding!! We are forever grateful and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future! read more

I don't think it's fair that Alan removes all of the negative reviews from his website. If you go to filtered reviews, you will see that he has eliminated them all. He also bribes people not to post negative reviews. My review: ne of the most important lessons I learned from my 18 month wedding planning process is "you get for what you pay for." I found Isle Media about two months after they got started. Alan seemed very nice and responsive, the company had a good portfolio, and priced 50% less than the more popular videographers at the time. My fiance and I wanted to support businesses starting in the industry and decided to book them. Fast forward 11 months to the week before our wedding. Part of our package included a slideshow, to be made by Isle Media. I scanned the photos and sent them to Alan. I got an email two days before the wedding saying that I needed to edit the photos myself and arrange them in order. He could not do it because they had a wedding that day. According to Alan, he could stay up all night to complete the slideshow but that would effect his performance the next day at our wedding.I did not want that to happen so I spent the day before my wedding figuring out our wedding slide show. On the day of our wedding, Alan brought two interns. He did not ask our permission to bring additional staff. The two interns were not professionally dressed and did not act like professional wedding vendors. They were sitting in the living room of the suite and got in the way of the photographers. In our contract we signed we were to get our video in 4 weeks. When I brought this up to Alan he said it now takes 3 months and he could not honor our original contract. Thankfully, after several emails and phone calls we were able to settle to 2 months. I was willing to put up with all of this if the final product was good. Regrettably, the video on a scale of 1 - 10 (one being amateur video shot by friends to 10 being Hollywood quality) I would rank it a 2. The video was missing: our ring exchange, everyone including the bride walking down the aisle, and the funniest moment of the ceremony when the flower girl refused to walk on the rose petals on the aisle. Also a lot of the shots had people's heads in it. He shot our first dance against the giant spot light so you really couldn't see our faces at all. We also paid for an extra hour so he could capture more of the dancing. It was ~2 mins of the total video, so I'm glad I paid that extra $400 for 2 extra mins of dancing video. The final product looked like I asked my friend to stand in the corner and record our wedding with her iPhone. We paid for a professional to avoid these problems!! I would say the best and only promising thing about Isle Media is Reese the photographer. he did an AMAZING job with our engagement photos and I could not sing his phrases enough. I would not recommend the video services to other brides. I would recommend either to pay up for a better, more experienced company or go without a video. A mistake I made was only viewing the 2 minute previews from Isle Media. Ask for the samples of the final, full video. read more

Awesome, incredible and marvelous (I'm a huge Iron Man and Marvel fan so this is important to say!) are just a few words to describe the stellar job that Alan and the team at Isle Media provided us for our engagement shoot, wedding photos, videography / same day edit and post-wedding shoot throughout 2019. Photos - While the art of truly capturing the moment can be a tricky task, Alan, Lester and the rest of the photo team at Isle Media do it in spades. They have great vision for shots, using the natural backdrop like the canvas of a fine painting, and are totally open to the asks of the clients, pivoting on the drop of a dime to accommodate the ideas we had. They truly strive for perfection and treat each client like family. Same Day Edit - Among the compliments we received from our guests about the wedding reception, the most were about the quality of the same day edit. It's truly amazing what can be cut up and put together with such a tight deadline! Alan is a master at catching the essence of each moment and reinterpreting it in beautiful cinematic form. Watching the final product during our reception was a surreal experience and the quality was truly beyond anything we could have expected! Videography - Detailed and tastefully captured, it's a comprehensive documentation of the days events from start to finish. What I value most is the coverage during the ceremony itself, when everything was happening so fast. Being able to see that exact moment when I got to kiss my wife for the first time is truly priceless. All the heartfelt moments that we hold oh so close are captured for us to relive any time we desire! Being a long time friend of my wife, Alan wanted to make the wedding reception extra special and spearheaded a plan to surprise me with a dance that my wife and her close friends had choreographed. Alan and team planned, coordinated and executed the performance, including a special video presentation, that blew me away. They had already gone the extra mile for everything they did for us that day, words cannot even begin to describe my gratitude for his thoughtfulness and desire to "wow"! No matter the occasion (Wedding, Birthday, Retirement, Corporate Event, etc...), Isle Media will capture the occasion, giving you a memento frozen in time to cherish for the rest of your lives. The service and quality of the product are impeccable! There's no one else I'd recommend over Isle Media, they're truly the best! Alan and team, Michi and I are forever indebted to you for capturing the key moments of the best day of our lives. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you 3,000! read more

DO NOT HIRE! Zero refunds, zero flexibility, zero remorse even during COVID-19! I hope the experience of my fiancée and myself can be of help to you. We hired Isle Media to be our videographer during our dream Hawaii wedding that was scheduled for April 2020. We paid the deposit as soon as humanly possible and gave Isle the flexibility to exercise their creative muscle in putting together a highlight reel for us. Three months out from the wedding, Isle offered a bonus of an additional hour of coverage if we paid the balance in full. Not anticipating COVID-19 and its impact, we went ahead and paid it. It was a huge mistake. Our venue in Hawaii, as a result of the governor's shelter-in-place order, literally closed the doors for the months of April and May, possibly continuing into June 2020. Our wedding was involuntarily cancelled and we had no say in it. So as one would assume, you should get your money back, or at least some of it. We had already paid $2,000. 00 to Isle. We got nothing back. We worked through our wedding planner, who had a relationship with Isle, and she wasn't able to get them to budge. We contacted Isle directly and spoke with Alan on the phone. He said he was "not a bad person," and then gave a story that he had already spent our $2,000. 00 on his two daughters' school tuition and that he had not even $1. 00 he could refund us. He stated that all the money we paid was non-refundable per his contract. The contract platform he uses is off the Sprout Studio management suite specifically for photographers and videographers. It is wholly managed and controlled by Isle. This means that the contract you sign on July 1st can be altered and changed by July 30th, at Alan's discretion. My fiancée and I were heart-broken that we cannot have our dream wedding in Hawaii. But we were more upset with Isle Media for offering not a single dollar in a refund during this most impactful pandemic/world event that any of us will experience in our entire lives. Hawaii has, and continues to be, under the strictest quarantine orders. Travelers who come onto the island are arrested and jailed if they step outside their hotel rooms. Nobody is having weddings on that island. Even if we did not hire Alan and Isle Media, they would not have been able to work on that day in April 2020. They are THIEVES and stole $2,000. 00 from us. Do not use his services. He will spend all your money before even providing a service. Or at least he will claim he did. He didn't lift a finger and kept our money without shame. Contact me directly if you have any questions or have had similar issues with this company. read more

Deciding to get married in Hawaii was a very easy decision. Coming from Scotland, we wanted to get married somewhere warm, somewhere with adventure and somewhere far away from home with only our closest friends and family. We had to make a lot of decisions from the other side of the world which proved difficult on many occasions. The only easy decision was using Isle Media to capture our day. We were originally looking at photographers and videographers on Big Island (the island where we choose to get married) however none of them had the spark we were looking for. We then stumbled across videos of Isle Medias work on Vimeo. From that moment we knew we had found the perfect people to capture our special day. We faced numerous issues throughout our planning process however Isle Media were the one stable factor - they were responsive, professional, listened to our requests and sounded like they loved their jobs. In order to help us feel comfortable (as neither of us had been in front of the camera before - let alone together), when we arrived in Hawaii we met the team that would be with us on our day. The team was amazing and consisted of Kyle, Reese, Alan, Lester and Zairrah. Reese and Lester did the photography, Kyle and Alan did the videography and Zairrah did my makeup. She listened to what I wanted and never got annoyed or tired of me asking to try different looks - for that she is a star! We had fun throughout the entire process and the highlight wedding video is absolutely amazing. It captured exactly what we wanted - fun and laughter. We are waiting to receive our official photos and I am certain they will be just as good as the video (the only thing ruining them will be me smiling too much!!). We also did a trash the dress session with the team the day after the wedding day. I had seen photos of a place I wanted the photo-shoot to take place but neither myself nor my husband could find it. We told Reese about the place and told him that we had tried looking for it but could not find what we were looking for. On the morning of the wedding day they went to find the place and I was delighted when he told us that they managed to find it. We have seen a preview picture of this shoot and it is incredible. I have no hesitation in recommending Isle Media for any work that would involve capturing a special day. Even our wedding party commented on how attentive and nice they all were. If you are nervous about your big day (which I was), they will put you at ease and also put your needs first. Thank you Isle Media for being part of our day!! read more

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! LOVED THE VIDEO! EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!! Ryan and I got married on October 15, 2012 on the North Shore of Oahu, at Loulu Palms Estate. I used my wedding planner, Kristina, from Loulu, who was amazing to help me pick a videographer. She sent me several companies to choose from. I seriously watched close to a 100 hours of wedding videos before choosing Isle Media. I chose them based on price and quality. Their price is much more reasonable then other companies and their quality exceeded others I previewed. After working with them, i know we made the right choice!. We hired them for 10 hours. Starting at noon, pre-wedding until the reception ended. Alan and Glen were awesome! Fun, personable, and professional!! I thought it might be strange having 2 guys with cameras following us for 10 hours.. but it wasn't at all. They did a perfect job of blending in.. without us evening noticing them. But they did an amazing job of capturing every perfect moment!! They had asked specific things we might want filmed.. and they got it.. just as I had envisioned!!! My guests commented later on how much work they seemed to be doing. They were running circles all around the dance floor... making sure to get the perfect shots! I think they were just as tired as us at the end of the night. :) We were able to choose music for the video. We only picked one song for the highlight. We asked them to pick the rest, based on how they felt about us, the wedding, and our family. We I saw the video highlight.. I couldn't believe it!! It was absolutely stunning!! It was perfect!! I've had so many compliments from family, co-workers, and even the band at our home reception. Then the full video arrived... what a wonderful surprise. I expected it to be 20 minutes.. maybe 30 at the most. It was 2 DVDs... almost 1.5 hours. The film quality is unbelievable! They captured so many perfect moments...so many things I didn't even realize were happening on such a busy day! This is definitely the best money were spent for the wedding! Something we will always have to watch...love.. and laugh! Meredith S. read more

When my husband and I were doing our research on photographers for our wedding from home (Seattle) miles away from Oahu, we had a really tough time trying to figure out which vendors to work with. We have reached out to other photographers, unfortunately we didn't get the responses we wanted or some haven't answered to any of our emails or calls. We did more research and found Isle Media! We browsed through their website and their Vimeo profile. We were so touched with their work. We really were only interested in photography but when I started watching some wedding highlights I immediately felt so touched and wanted a highlight video for my wedding too and of course I called to inquire about video as well! When I called Isle Media they responded to me so quickly and we booked! I was sure that a company like Isle Media would be fully booked months out because their work is so amazing so I didn't take too much time to think about booking them. I was absolutely sure that I wanted to work with Isle Media! Let's not forget, we also needed a hair and make up artist and of course Isle Media also has that!!! I was working with Zairrah and she does such great work! I gave her just a couple of pictures for an idea of how I wanted my hair to look like and she gave me what I wanted and more! If I had to attend an event on Oahu again I will want to call her :)! She is also very friendly!!! On our wedding day, Reese, Travis, Kyle, Brendan, and Zairrah were all so amazing! They all did an absolutely outstanding job! We felt like we've known them for years prior to our wedding! We felt comfortable with them and they gave us more than we expected! They know what they are doing and they do it well so we had no doubts. Our guests and wedding party have also complimented them in so many ways! We are so thankful to have had the chance to work with this team! If we have another event on the island we will definitely work with them again! read more

We were extremely pleased with our experience with Isle Media. From the outset, they presented a clear, concise menu of options available to us (truly a one-stop shop). The planning process for our big day was top-notch, with regular communication from Alan Sangpan and his team. We were confident that all details were covered, and it was a relief to have one less thing to worry about as the day approached. On our wedding day itself, the Isle Media staff couldn't have been better. Zairrah and her makeup team did a fantastic job with my wife and the bridesmaids. They went above and beyond by even including our mothers at the last minute. Our photography and videography team of Lester, Brendan and Rafael were absolutely phenomenal to work with - we hit it off from the get-go, and they were excellent at making us feel at ease while they captured a plethora of fantastic photos and videos. Their preparation and attention to detail was evident throughout the day, as they truly captured every special moment of our wedding day. The quality of the photos and videos were also phenomenal - we really couldn't have asked for more. Moreover, we were amazed at the value we received relative to the amount that we paid. It was refreshing to see that we didn't have to break our wedding budget in order to receive such high-quality work. Thank you, Isle Media, for helping to make our wedding day so memorable! read more

We went to Oahu for our destination wedding in July 2013 and hired Islemedia for our photography and videography. It was the best decision that we made as Alan and his team far exceeded our expectations. They were professional, knowledgeable and extremely personable. Ours was an Indian wedding and we had a number of traditional ceremonies leading up to the wedding day. Alan, Reese, Lester and the Islemedia crew were with us throughout and they became honorary members of our family. They were present all the time but never intrusive. The team was very attentive and they captured even the most subtle cultural details of our celebrations. We appreciated their creative vision and the ideas they had for us. As well, any ideas we put forward were embraced wholeheartedly. These guys are up for anything!! To say they went the extra mile for us is an understatement. Our location shoots were absolutely stunning and so much fun. The team knows the geography of the island extremely well and they took us to places we would have never found ourselves. We did our due diligence and did lots of research on all the major photographers and videographers in Hawaii and decided Islemedia was the best choice and we couldn't be more right. They captured the spirit and emotion of our wedding and turned it into a concrete work of art that we can view and cherish for the rest of our lives. read more

Planning a wedding on my own is by far the hardest thing that I have come across in my life as of today, but Alan and his Isle Media crew made the task less daunting. From start to finish, their professional and opened-mindedness made working with them a pleasure. Isle Media made it a "one stop shop" for my videography and photography, a no hassle way in finding ALL that I needed in just ONE company! Isle Media did an amazing job with our slideshow presentation, they found ALL the songs that we requested them to play throughout. My family and friends were astonished by our same day edit that Isle Media worked- from the start of my wedding up until the video was shared with everyone! Family memebers commented that they had just seen the wedding happen 2 hours prior and now it is on the screen, it was almost like our own little music video! Needless to say Alan and his Isle Media crew did an AMAZING job and we highly recommend them! Here is a link to the same day edit Isle Media aired at our wedding on September 24, 2011 http://vimeo.com/29592885 Healani and Glenn Highlights ( SDE ) vimeo.com The entire Isle Media team had the honor of being a part of this very special wedding in Waialua in the North Shore. Healani set herself apart from all the other brides by walking down the aisle with a pair of cowboy boots on! This is a highlights video... Share read more

Thank-you Isle Media!! My husband and I got married on April 23, 2013 in Honolulu and we are very thankful we hired Isle Media for our photography and videography. We decided to hire them after a recommendation from our wedding planner. From the beginning, the process of the down payment to the outline of the service agreement was clear and easy. What drew us to them is the fact that Isle Media offers a range of services under one roof, who wouldn't love that?! Planning a wedding is stressful enough, so when you can get a package deal it sure saves a lot of time... and headache! Furthermore, their work is truly AMAZZZING! You can tell how good the team work is and the professionalism involved. Our pictures are like something out of a storybook... and our videos just makes us smile and brings tears to our eyes at the same time :) Thank- you Isle Media, specifically our photographers Reese and Kay, and our videographers Jack and Lester. Also, thanks Alan for stopping by to say hi despite the new arrival of your girls! It was much appreciated. You all captured beautiful moments in our life that we will look at from years to come. MAHALO and ALOHA! Linda & Tony read more

Words can't describe how lucky we are that we chose to go with Isle Media for our 8hr video, photography and beauty services for our wedding. You only get one chance to chose the right team for your day and we got it right with this company! We planned our wedding from Australia so everything had to be done online. Alan was so incredibly easy to work with. He knew exactly what we wanted and delivered it 100 times better than what we could have imagined. They somehow managed to capture all the best moments, and we didn't even notice they were there most of the time! Like little ninjas they blended into the background and took the most incredible video and photography. So professional and the pictures turned out so amazing. Everyone in Australia who have seen our video have commented they want the Isle Media team over here in Australia. Get in quick everyone! They are in high demand! Could not have asked for a better team. You will not be disappointed with all the services they provide, it is at the highest quality. Loved them! read more

BEWARE of this company. I NEVER received my video footage for my party. 5 months later he sends me an email that his videographer quit and took my video footage. I would think that I deserve a phone call instead of email. However, after locating this videographer, he conferred that he did not take the video footage. Alan said he would mail my original pictures and slide show back to me it's been almost 1 year and I haven't received neither. My slide show was shown at the party. However he left out half my pictures I gave him, and part of the heads on the pictures were cut off. I left multiple emails and text messages for months now, Alan never returned any of them. What he has done is irreplaceable and very heart breaking. I trusted him with my special event. He has taken something from me that I can NEVER get back. It's sad that a human being can place such hurt and grief to another. I WOULDN'T recommend this company if you want to be sure that your special event will be remembered. read more

We hired Isle Media through word of mouth from a friend of mines to do videography and photography. I was quite happy with their services. They were very good at getting back to me when I had any questions and they sent a great team that worked hard on our wedding day to make sure we were comfortable and made sure we had a good time. Any wedding day is hectic and full of surprises, they made sure to take care of us and adjust to our chaotic schedule. Same day edit video came out awesome, we have guest who came to us talking about how pleased they were with the product. Videography is what my friend told me Isle Media is known for, and they definitely put out a great product. I can't wait to receive the end product from them so we can send it off to my relatives on the mainland who were unable to attend the wedding. I once again cannot stress how good Isle Media is. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding photography would be memorable. read more

We got married in September 2011... i know.... long time for me to right a review but i came across the old wedding planner folder and i finally took this time to share my experience. My wife and I looked for some options on the island and after several calls and checking many sites we came across Isle Media. We live in LA and have a very crazy family as we are from Argentina and most of our friends were flying in from different parts of the world. The team was great since our first meeting. They got along with the Latin vibe and we have a blast taking our shoots right on the beach. They stayed a little longer than expected and the results on the edited video were great. My friends are still talking about this and it has been almost 2 years. Thank you for your time and effort. I would recommend them to anyone that is in Hawaii or other places. They are very flexible and your money will be we'll spent. Ivan and Fernanda read more

I am erasing my glowing review and replacing it with a more realistic one. Idle Media gives no slack to the contract. They insisted on charging for me for uplighting even though it rained. I asked what they would use the uplighting for many months before the wedding and got no response. When I asked for a refund I was told "Unfortunately we cannot be responsible for any "acts of God." The money out towards uplighting was used to reserve the equipment, therefore preventing us to use it for another event. I'm so sorry about that, I appreciate your understanding." I got the wedding photos almost exactly 4 months after the wedding (which is the very longest it is estimated to take). I got the wedding video 4 and a half months after the wedding. And it is about 5 and a half months after the wedding and still no sign of my photo album. I highly doubt I would ever use their services again. read more

When I first saw Isle Media's videography of a couple that I didn't know, I wanted be in that wedding! I even teared up because it was shot so beautifully. I researched his company and watched more and more videos. My best girlfriend was getting married and my gift to her was to book Alan and his team for her wedding (video and pictures). The grooms family (50) flew in from Guam to Hawaii and couldn't believe that he was able to shoot the same day and present a video the same night at dinner! Needless to say Isle Media will be going International soon I hope! I HIGHLY reccomend Alan and his company. Their products speak for themselves! Please take a look at Kristen and Chad's wedding highlights @ http://vimeo.com/40810421. I'm the one in the short white dress and long black bridesmade dress. He made ugly look good! LOL :) Thanks Isle Media, my money was well spent! read more
