We had the opportunity to shoot with Sean of the Tribe within the Jenna Lee group and it was an…read moreamazing experience. He was extremely accommodating given the weather and timing for our shoot. Now, I am not the most photogenic and feel super awkward posing behind cameras, but the poses and interactions that Sean directed us to do led to very natural, joyful moments in the photos. We came in not knowing what to expect, but left feeling the experience was really fun and engaging. What drew us most to this group was their editing, and they did not disappoint. The resulting pictures were phenomenal. They kept well within the timelines they told us to expect, as well. Thank you to the Jenna Lee team for making this an overall great experience.

We are beyond thrilled that we had Jenna Lee & her tribe for our wedding day! From start to finish,…read moreshe made the entire experience fun, engaging, and stress-free. Her approach was far from the standard "stand and smile" routine; instead, she and her team made sure every moment felt natural, joyful, and full of emotion. She took the time to understand what we wanted, and her attention to detail truly captured the essence of our wedding day. The photos are vibrant, full of life, and each one tells a beautiful story of our special day. When I was first booking, what stood out to me was that Jenna herself called me at a very odd hour because of my schedule. She was so flexible and accommodating, taking the time to chat about what she offered. That conversation was a game changer--it completely altered the way I wanted to approach our wedding day. Initially, I was hesitant about doing the first look and family photos before the ceremony, as I thought it wasn't the traditional way to do things. But Jenna shared her prior experiences, and since we wanted to be present for cocktail hour and fully enjoy the day, we decided to take her advice. It was MAGIC. When I first opened my photos, I was with my new husband, my mother-in-law, two of the groomsmen, and a bridesmaid, and we were all brought to tears with how phenomenal, powerful, and stunning the photos were. She truly captured so many important moments, and the amazing part is, it was FUN. Every photo radiated emotion and joy, and we'll cherish them forever. What also really stood out was how thoughtful and generous Jenna and her team were. The entire team was not only professional but also incredibly fun--honestly, I would be friends with every photographer there! They made the experience feel like we were surrounded by love and family, creating moments full of joy, laughter, and genuine connection. They were there when we needed them but never intrusive. Jenna and her team's responsiveness was another huge bonus--they were always quick to answer calls and texts, which helped us feel at ease throughout the process. I can't tell you how many times I was adding and subtracting hours and not once did they make me feel bad or like it was a burden. Additionally, the turnaround time for the photos was incredibly fast! We felt like we had the images in no time, and every single one exceeded our expectations. We feel INCREDIBLY lucky that Jenna was the photographer for our wedding; her team was just as phenomenal. She captured beautiful memories, kept the experience lighthearted and meaningful, and we will treasure her work FOREVER. 10/10 would recommend her! Amazing! Thank you Jenna!!!! -- Ashlie

We had a newborn session with Lucie, who is truly a master of her craft and a real baby whisperer…read more She was quick to respond to all of my questions leading up to the shoot and made sure we captured every pose we had hoped for. We never felt rushed during the session--she allowed plenty of time for diaper changes and feeding. In fact, we even went overtime because she genuinely wanted to ensure we got all the poses we wanted. I especially appreciated how she included all members of our family and was incredibly accommodating and patient with our dog. Lucie offers a wide variety of beautiful props in her studio and was also more than willing to incorporate special items we brought from home. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and are so grateful for the memories she captured. We look forward to working with her again for future milestones and life events.

I honestly cannot believe I haven't written a review for Daphne yet! I've hired her for both a…read moreboudoir session and an engagement photoshoot, and she is truly incredible at what she does. I love her to death! If you are looking to capture a special moment or just want to feel empowered, here is why Daphne is the person to call: The Boudoir Experience: Pure Confidence First off, you do not need to be a model. Daphne makes you feel beautiful regardless of what anyone else says. She is positive, patient, easy-going, and an amazing communicator. She makes the cutest comments while shooting ("You look so sexy!" or "Hold that pose, it's perfect!"), which instantly boosts your mood. The Coaching: She guides your body into specific positions. Yes, sometimes the poses feel a little "uncomfortable" in the moment, but trust me--it is worth it! When you see the results, you'll literally think, "Wait, that's me?!" She helps every woman feel confident and fall in love with their own skin. Engagement Photos: Capturing the Love For our engagement session, the weather was on our side, and Daphne's cues produced the most stunning photos. It was my husband's first time in front of a professional camera, and he was definitely a bit nervous. I was there to help him smile, but Daphne's constant "cute comments" about us as a couple really helped him settle in and made me feel wonderful. Daphne has a gift for bringing out the best in people and making the process feel natural and fun. Whether it's a gift for someone special or a treat for yourself, you won't regret booking her!

Would highly recommend Daphne and would definitely go to her again for future photo shoots.

Long Overdue Praise for Joseph Esser and His Incredible Team…read more This review is long overdue for Joseph Esser and his phenomenal team of photographers and videographers. If you're searching for a wedding photographer and videographer in Hawaii, look no further -- Joseph and his team are truly among the best. From the very beginning, I was impressed by Joseph's professionalism, warmth, and incredible attention to detail. In the months leading up to the wedding, he collaborated closely with my amazing wedding planners, Fred and Kate, to review the timeline and ensure everything was aligned. That preparation paid off -- the entire day ran smoothly and stress-free, allowing me to fully enjoy every moment. Joseph and his team arrived punctually and were ready to capture the magic from start to finish. They didn't just take photos -- they preserved moments. Looking back at the images and videos now, I'm filled with joy reliving those memories with my husband. What truly sets Joseph apart is how much he cares. His energy and positive attitude were infectious -- he had us laughing all day, which naturally translated into joyful, candid photos full of smiles. Beyond his personality, it was his instinct and thoughtfulness that left a lasting impression. For example, during our grand reception entrance, we used a money gun that left fake bills scattered all over the dance floor. Before our first dance began, Joseph got down on his knees and cleared the floor himself -- not something you'd expect from your lead photographer, but it speaks volumes about his commitment to the perfect shot and a smooth experience. Similarly, during the ceremony, when my wedding train and cape needed adjusting, Joseph didn't hesitate or wait for a bridesmaid -- he stepped in and fixed it himself to ensure everything looked flawless. These small, meaningful actions showed just how much he truly cares about his clients and the quality of his work. Joseph and his team worked tirelessly for nine hours, and the final results were nothing short of spectacular. Every guest who's seen our photos and video has commented on how stunning they are. We also opted for a 10-minute wedding highlight video -- and I highly recommend it! The timing of the music, lyrics, and our vows were perfectly matched with the visuals. The attention to detail, from the transitions to even the placement of our names on the Cover page -- Everything was intentional, thoughtful, and beautifully executed. As someone who is very detail-oriented, I was blown away by how aligned Joseph and his team were with my vision. Their passion for what they do shines through in every frame. They don't just document a wedding -- they tell a story. Thank you, Joseph, for being such an integral part of our day and for capturing it so perfectly. You and your team are truly the best -- mahalo from the bottom of our hearts!

There's a distinctive quality in her work - an ability to capture genuine, unposed moments that sets her apart. Our initial meeting felt surprisingly familiar; it was as if we were reuniting with an old family friend, even though it was our first encounter. What stood out most was her sincere curiosity about our family's story through her lens. It wasn't just about taking pictures; she seemed genuinely interested in capturing the essence of our journey. This personal touch made our family feel comfortable, creating an atmosphere that went beyond a mere photoshoot. The result? Beautifully framed memories that now hold a special place in our hearts. Her unique perspective transformed our family trip into an unforgettable experience. Looking ahead, I wholeheartedly recommend her to others seeking a photographer who goes beyond the lens to tell a genuine story. If your travels bring you to Hawaii, consider connecting with her for a truly personalized and memorable experience. Expressing heartfelt gratitude for the wonderful memories she helped immortalize.

Seriously I think we kissed more during this engagement shoot than in the past year so it had the potential to be super awkward... but working with Eric was awesome. He laughed with us and we joked around the whole time. He suggested some really unique positions and views so our photos came out looking completely "ours". The quality of the photos, the timeliness and communication of the photographer and the skill with which Eric shoots, makes me certain he is our go-to photographer!
