Not to mention that Crystal went out of her way from Kailua to Ko Olina to accommodate my wife's late stage pregnancy tether to our home. Would recommend this service to anyone and everyone looking for a professional on the island of Oahu.

The photos turned out even better than I imagined. She didn't just capture how everything looked - she captured how it felt. The love, the little in-between moments, the natural joy of the day... it's all there. And somehow, she made the already stunning Oahu backdrop look even more beautiful. Also, shoutout to her patience because the wind was aggressively fighting my bangs the entire time, and she handled it so seamlessly without ever making it feel stressful or rushed. Genuinely couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're even considering booking her - do it. The quality of her work and the experience she creates are both so, so worth it!

If you're in Oahu and looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Michelle!

They were also unbelievably prompt with editing and releasing our photos -- we could not believe how quickly everything was completed! Radek was wonderful throughout the entire process. He gave great direction during the shoot to make sure the photos turned out amazing while still feeling natural and comfortable. His knowledge of the area was also so helpful, and he helped us choose the perfect location for our ceremony. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. They captured not only us, but also our family, the emotions of the ceremony, and all of the little moments that made the day unforgetable. We are forever grateful for the memories they captured and the effort and care they put into everything for us. Great communication, beautiful work, and an all-around wonderful experience. You truly cannot go wrong with them. Highly recommend!

From the first quick inital response to my inquiry and the detailed instructions was so helpful. Radek allowed me to personalize our experience with a specific location and time of day since I wanted to have photo session during sunset. I appreciate his attention to detail to make sure every picture was perfect. He was so quick and efficient so we were able to shoot so many photos during our session. His rates are very affordable and worth it, I would recommend him to all my family and friends. Lastly I'm so appreciative of his quick turn around time, I was so impressed that our photos were available after 1week. Thank you Radek, we will definitely be requesting more photo shoots in the future.

I am the type of person wanting & needing to reach out to 3 - 4 companies for information/inquires for services. Same as anyone wanting services for roofing, painting, solar and AC for their home. I reached out to 2-3 photographers, I advised wanting a photo shoot at a park, no beaches, yes I know we will in Hawaii but everyone does a beach photo. First photographer didn't even respond to my online, email requests. I even called the phone number listed, left a message, no call back. Second photographer confirmed will not be a good fit for my request due to only does nature photography, so only beaches, hmmm, last I checked parks with trees is nature! Final photographer, Sky & Reef Photography -Tara Morenfeld with all the information I requested for. Reserved a Sunday morning date, Tara was on time and ready to go. Worked with the 1year old first, while baby is in a good mood! Worked with each individual ohana then entire ohana. I highly recommend Sky & Reef photography Tara Morenfeld for your next photo session! Again Tara is a professional and keeps her word on how to work the ohana!

It was a fun day and also a great way to get introduced to some local areas of Hawaii! The communication process was easy via email with generally quick replies when she was not busy. Photoshoot was booked well in advance as well! Only thing I wished was the ability to create a pinterest board with some ideas but it was no biggie! There were a lot of photos my hubs and I loved!! Some of them even better than the ideas we originally wanted! Overall it was a great experience to look back to. She was able to capture the celebration of 7 years of marriage. These photos are great to look back to and are ones we will cherish for many many years. We were also very fortunate to have been able to book a time with her in the most busy season of the year. Thank you Tara!!

Last month we booked her again and it truly felt like a full-circle moment for our family. She captured it perfectly all over again and she was so sweet with my toddler too - he loved her! The entire experience from first communication to photoshoot day was seamless, fun, and easy going. She also has such a great eye for detail!

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 ended up hiring Kyler twice(graduation and her 18th bday party),and we're still obsessed with the results. Kyler and Lance are a dream team-easy to work with and totally professional.

She was communicative on the phone before our shoot, and really wanted to get a feel for what we wanted, which was sort of dynamic (family photos as well as an underwater maternity shoot). She absolutely aced it. We couldn't be happier with our photos from Heather, and Im so happy to recommend her to anyone else that wants to do photos of any capacity, Heather is prepared! She climbed into a freezing cold pool with me for over an hour, persevering to really give me what I wanted. A true artist...and the photos came out even better than I could have imagined (although, underwater maternity shoot is harder than it sounds):) Not only that, but Heather charmed my spirited 3 year old and drew her out of her shell super quick, capturing amazing smiling, laughing and general mischief from her. My husband, who is usually very critical of photos of himself is so so happy with how our shoot came out and were excited to print them. I will absolutely be hiring Heather again. These photos, and even the shoot have created lifetime memories for our family!!!

He was able to print and mount it same day! I simply cannot believe how blessed we are that Parish was able to deliver such a beautiful picture on such short notice. He even provided the perfect frame. Everyone talked about how good the photo looked and her best friend said it's exactly how she remembers her. Thank you Parish for helping us celebrate my Mom.
