Booking a session with Paul at Kiefer Studio completely changed that. We shot out at Sandy's Beach, and Paul made the whole atmosphere so fun and energetic.

The final images gave me exactly the confidence boost I needed to restart my career. I highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a truly professional photography experience here in Hawaii!

The reasons why we chose Bodhi to take our family photos: 1…read more He responded very quickly to our request for a quote (the same with a few other photographers). 2. He was able to fit us in his schedule with only a WEEK notice (the same with a few other photographers). 3. His quote was much cheaper compared to $500 from another photographer (who also wanted the $500 up front due to the short notice). 4. His website has TONS of family photos on the beach. One of our sons has autism and the other is a wild two-year old. Bodhi was fun, friendly, down-to-earth, and extremely patient with our kids. He was able to get their attention just enough for him to get some "formal" shots, even at 5:30 in the morning. We were hoping for at least a very nice family photo on the beach and we got a truly EPIC family photo on the beach (with some fantastic candid shots, too). What are you waiting for? Book Bodhi for your family photos today!

All of our pictures came out beautifully, and the post work he did is perfect- not to mention how quickly we received our pictures! Bodhi is incredibly flexible, and was so easy going in dealing with the weather (frequent rain showers) and our requests, numerous as they were. He has great vision and was able to tell us what would and wouldn't work, and got some amazing shots of us. I would recommend him for anything. We can't thank you enough, Bodhi- you are a phenomenal photographer and we are so thankful for your time with us.

I was able to find Jessica on "thumbtack" and she responded back within seconds!! Jessica and I were in touch for 2 weeks and she sent me different beach locations where we can take pictures.

I will refer my friends if they ever need a photoshoot in Hawaii to go with Jessica! Thanks again :)

Where do you seek a professional photographer in Oahu to celebrate my fabulous birthday…read more(half-century old)? Yelp, of course! It's one of the best inventions when looking for incredible services and an opportunity to support businesses. Traveling from California, I had plenty of choices of photographers. I ultimately scored! Reading his 5-star reviews and checking out the gallery of pictures he has taken absolutely won me over. William Weaver is his name! He knows stellar locations and has highly skilled photo techniques. William is easy to work with and took many pictures of my family's desires. He is professional and has reasonable price packages. I love the photo of the background of a couple and how the water flowed on the beach and wanted to take my family photos there too. We communicated through messages on Yelp and agreed to meet on a Sunday at North Shore before sunset ( 6:10pm). William responded promptly, met us on time, and was super patient with my 4 rebunctions boys. Did I tell you he could read the waves and how big they would crash onto the rocks when the photo was taken since he also surfs? He has a talented eye, and I would certainly use him again in future photoshoots!

Jeanne was super awesome to work with. I'm usually hesitant to do photoshoots, especially with my…read moreboys....they can be a handful. The last time there was anything professionally photographed in my life was my wedding....almost 10 years ago. Jeanne made our mini session so comfortable and was awesome with the kids!! Made them comfortable enough to laugh and play, which resulted in both wonderful professional shots and amazing candids. Her mini session includes 5 images with options to upgrade....I loved them all so much I had to get more! I'm very grateful for Jeanne's patience and upbeat attitude. She's got me looking for another occasion to have photos taken!! Maybe I can convince my hubs to remarry me (hint hint wink wink). If you are looking for a quick family session her mini sessions are great!! She's amazing and is great with animals and kids and kids who pretend to be animals!

The quick review:…read more Jeanne is communicative, professional, thorough, and fun! She makes people feel comfortable in front of the lens, and does an excellent job adapting to the occasion--for big groups and small. She is efficient so you can enjoy your wedding ASAP AND still get beautiful, timeless photos. Thorough review: Jeanne did our elopement during the pandemic, and our photos came out beautifully. We did a 1 year anniversary party/vow renewal/reception, so we definitely were going to have more people. Jeanne and I communicated what shots I wanted, who I wanted photos of, etc. Since we only had 30 guests, she came up with this brilliant idea to have her second shooter take portraits and candid shots of them. That way, their photos could be sent with our thank you cards. She also communicated the timeline beforehand, which I really appreciated. On the day of the wedding, she let us know when she was at the venue, and what time she would walk over to the hotel (the properties neighbor each other). She was prompt, professional, and always fun. My husband's family hadn't worked with her before, and she made them feel comfortable in all the photos she took of them. Based on our timeline, she had us take the family portraits after the ceremony. She was efficient, quick, and so funny. Everyone was smiling, we got through them quickly, and everyone was able to enjoy cocktail hour on time. It took about 1.5 months to get the edits back, and needless to say, everyone loved the photos. My father-in-law changed his Facebook profile pictures to the ones she took IMMEDIATELY. I think it's safe to say he liked them. I love how soft and dreamy the photos look. They're timeless and would look good anywhere. I love that the edits aren't too stylized and really captured how intimate and fun our event was. I would recommend hiring Jeanne for anything, really. Working with her is a delight, and I wish I could think up more special occasions for us to hire her... So I hope you will!

I spent weeks looking through instagram profiles so you don't have to. Here's her website: (https://photosbyjoanah.mypixieset.com) Our photo session with Joanah was one of the highlights during our trip because it was just so much fun. It felt like we were just a family of 3 playing on the beach. Joanah is truly gifted and you could just tell she loves what she does. When I reached out to Joanah, she got back to me with a location guide and even an outfit guide. Her location guide was extremely helpful since we were not locals and had no idea where to do our photos. As parents of a shy toddler (3yr old), my husband and I were so surprised by how easily our daughter befriended Joanah. She came prepared with a cute bunny attachment to her camera and my daughter was immediately enchanted. But honestly I think it was just the way Joanah was able to make everyone feel so comfortable. Thank you Joanah for capturing such beautiful memories for us. I can't wait to have these up in our home!

do not I REPEAT DO NOT GO HERE NO MATTER WHAT! this guy took the most horrendous photos ever! my…read moremother was at the event and she took much better pictures with her iPhone 14 pro then he did. i had asked him for a good spot to propose to in Oahu and he gave me a spots name so on the day of the event i went there and started setting up. by the time the set up was done it was already 7 and the sun was setting. he shows up with his camera (when I say camera I mean just a single camera, not even a single light.) and tells us that he has enough light and for us not to worry. Our spot was on the sand facing the ocean keep in mind by 7:30 it's pitch dark and you can't see ANYTHING! i expected for him to tell me hey this is not enough light these pictures will come out horribllets move in front of the hotel where there's light but nope nothing! He started taking pictures (none stop click clickclick )my first real red flag was when he asked us to do a pose which we used to do for PROM!!!!! But Ifigured maybethats his thing so I just ignored it. he gave us no guidance as how to pose where to pose or didn't bother even moving around to take different angle pictures. He stood there taking one pic after another without and communication and after 10 min he handed me a a memory stick and said bye. THIS DUDE DIDNT EVEN BOTHER TO EDIT THE PICTURES OR EVEN LOOOK AT THEM ONCE TOSEE IF HEEVEN GOT ANYTHING GOOD. When me and my finance looked at the pictures, she started crying so I knew that I'll have to redo the whole thing just so we can get some pictures for memory and for family. We ended up having to set up the whole thing all over again the following day and I could not afford another photographer since I had already paid him 300$ so we had my mother take pictures of us which came out 10x better than the bs pictures he took. I'll post the pictures here so you can be the judge. The pictures in the night were taken by him the day time pictures were by ourselves. so if you want your future wife to cry and he heart broken then go head and hire him. also when I brought it up to him. Instead of a simple sorry hedecided to blame me for his crap work.

We even planned our venue dates around his availability because we knew we wanted him to capture our day. From the very beginning, his professionalism and expertise were invaluable. He checked in with us throughout the planning process to ensure everything ran smoothly and was always responsive to our questions. His guidance during the photoshoots made a huge difference--neither of us had much experience with professional photography, but his direction helped us feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera. Derek knew his way around our venue and timed our sunset photos flawlessly. He was incredibly attentive to capturing our vision, even during the reception, and we appreciated how he stayed focused on the moments unfolding around us. We cannot recommend Derek enough! A photographer is one of the most important vendors you'll choose--they're with you the entire day and help run your timeline alongside your wedding coordinator. Derek made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Since then, we've received our photos, and we are absolutely in love with them! Thank you for everything--you truly made our day unforgettable.
