As soon as I paid him his money, he left early and did not fulfill his commitment. A wedding coordinator should also look presentable and professional. He was dressed in a T-shirt and looked sloppy. I was not impressed with him at all.

Steve was very unprofessional. He was very uncommunicative through out the planning of our wedding…read more He was inappropriately dressed for a wedding wearing a Scooby-Doo shirt. He was great in the beginning until he got his first payment. When the wedding started it was almost as if he was trying to rush things along he even left early once he got his second payment. And the worst thing was that he had his hand inside of a card box that was glued shut. We don't know why he had his hand inside there. Do not hire this man as your wedding coordinator.

We interviewed and looked through portfolios of almost all photographers on that island we could find on the web. We saw many photographers, even pricey ones, with cheesy pictures taken in unnatural angles. We really like Jose's pictures because the poses were natural and original, taken in posed and candid forms. The colors were also very vibrant. We were VERY happy with the pictures that Jose captured from our wedding. We were also very appreciative of his quick turn-around time. He is a great person to work with and we would definitely recommend him.

For the second year in a row, we hired Jose to take family photos for the holidays. He did such an…read moreamazing job on our wedding photos, as well as my sister's engagement and wedding pics, he has become our family photographer. Let me tell you, he worked HARD for these pictures! With two wriggling, not-so-cooperative babies he was so patient and had a great sense of humor. I am still shocked that anything came out at all! But he has a great eye and apparently an amazingly quick trigger finger to snap something between tantrums and make it not just usable, but a wonderful family photo to share. We love you Jose, and (maybe unfortunately for you, for the next few years anyway) will keep hiring you!

Floyd is just simply awesome…read more On the day of the wedding, Floyd showed up early and confirmed what we had discussed regarding style and timeline. My husband and I are seriously the most awkward when it comes to photo shoots, and I feared our photos would look forced. Leave it to Floyd to figure out a way for us to look like "us." He was very comfortable to work with, easy going, and made everything feel relaxed. When it came time for family photos, I feared it would be chaos since both families were so large, but Floyd kept everyone on track and got them done efficiently (and beautifully) so we could move on the partying! A few of my guests commented on how sincere and sweet our photographer was; never pushing for photos but always there for the right moment. Our portfolio of photos was extensive and captured every moment (and then some), which is exactly what I wanted. I emphasized I wanted the photos to look organic, not to pose-y, and to really capture emotions of the day. Floyd truly delivered, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. In terms of planning, he's very prompt in responding to emails / texts and was always very easy to communicate with. I highly, highly recommend Floyd and couldn't thank him enough for capturing our day so perfectly.

Chase goes the extra mile to get the perfect shot- he literally ran from spot to spot to get angles from all over the venue, which was lovely! Before the wedding, he sniffed out some interesting and different spots to take our engagement photos. We ended up taking shots in the Kaka'ako industrial district where all the cool graffiti murals are. The shots came out unforgettable! We got compliments on all of them, and folks wanted copies. The colors of the murals burst through and make for fascinating backdrops. Chase used gorgeous angles to make for unique, special engagement photos unlike any others we'd ever seen. On top of all this, Chase made himself available within an hour when we called him to do our photos. He hand delivered our photos just a day or two later, edited and ready to print. I've seen much of his other work with "Trash the Dress" shoots, Family and Wedding photography. Every thing I've seen has been top-notch. He has an eye for angles and lighting that capture the moment perfectly. Chase is apparently a sports photographer by trade and I think his talents are transferring beautifully. He's personable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Chasing the Moment Photography if you are looking for creative, unique, and ultimately unforgettable photography for your special occasion.

My partner and I first met Chase when he was photographing Hawaii's marriage equality legislative…read moreproceedings in 2013. He has since provided us head shots, campaign material photos and photojournalistic coverage of our activism (most recently helping houseless families in Kakaako). Chase's greatest benefit to his clients is his versatility and wide range of experience (as a sports photographer, photojournalist and portrait photographer). He is particularly skilled with natural lighting and working in adverse conditions (we once shot outdoors as a windstorm rolled in, and he managed to get some excellent shots). He goes above and beyond for his clients: climbing, crouching, patiently waiting to get just the right shot. I highly recommend Chase for any of your photography needs, especially outdoors shoots and events.

Ohana portraits was by far the best! We were celebrating my mom and dad's 50th and wanted to have pictures taken on the beach. Jimmy called back after driving around Oahu searching for an ideal spot. After searching his favorite locations and taking test shots during sundown, he found the ideal spot for us! (Now how is that for service) The pictures turned out fantastic! They look like they were shot in a studio with a beach background. Jimmy is known for his artistic work and his photographs have been featured in magazines and advertisements around the island. His rates are very reasonable and you won't regret the finished product. Look to Ohana Portraits to help capture the special moments in your life! We are so glad we did!

Stop looking. You've found your photographer!…read more Choosing Christie was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From start to finish, we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Christie is the definition of a true professional.  She runs your wedding day like a well-oiled machine. Everything stays organized, on schedule, and incredibly efficient, allowing you to make the most of every moment without ever feeling rushed. You can immediately tell she's photographed hundreds of weddings, and that level of expertise is absolutely priceless when it comes to capturing some of the most important moments of your life. You'll quickly realize that you need to not only choose someone whose photos you love, but also someone you can trust to keep everything on track and never miss a moment. There are a lot of complicated logistics involved in getting all of the great photos, and you want someone who has done it hundreds of times and knows exactly how to organize people and keep everything moving. That is Christie Pham. One of my favorite things about working with Christie is that she gives you the best of both worlds. She beautifully documents the genuine, candid moments of your day while also knowing exactly how to pose you so you look your absolute best in your portraits. She knew exactly how to direct us while still making everything feel natural. I trusted her, and it put my general anxiety about the day at ease. The artistry in her work is incredible. She captured not only the stunning scenery, but also the emotion of the day, both ours and our guests'. Looking through our gallery truly feels like reliving the entire wedding.  Christie is also wonderful to collaborate with throughout the planning process. She takes your requests seriously, is honest about what is and isn't possible, and uses her experience to help you get the best final result. She and her husband work seamlessly together, each carrying multiple cameras so they never miss a moment. We were amazed at how many perspectives they captured throughout the day, and yet they somehow blended into the background whenever they needed to. Beyond being incredibly talented, Christie and her husband are simply wonderful people. They are kind, calm, fun to be around, and exactly the type of people you want spending your wedding day with you. Our friends and family absolutely loved them, and so did we. We only get one wedding day, and we're so grateful Christie was the one who captured it. We truly couldn't recommend her more highly. If you're considering Christie, book her. You won't regret it. We only wish we could do it all over again. (Also we got our sneak peaks in SEVEN DAYS, I was so surprised by the speed; that's just an extra bonus :))

Their aesthetics and photography style are vividly stunning without taking away from natural beauty. They also take the time to capture details that you don't have time to think about during a big day! Even my husband (who avoids cameras) said he enjoyed taking photos in their presence and guidance during our first meeting for our engagement photoshoot. They truly are a magical team and we are already dreaming about having them as our family photographers!

In addition, after the photography, they took great efforts in photo processing in order to deliver very good quality pictures. Very soon, we got all the photos in a DVD within about a week. Last but not least, their price is very fair with decent quality guaranteed. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and relatives.
