She really cares about the safety and health of your infant and uses lots of hand sanitizer and clearly keeps her equipment clean. Her pricing offers something for everyone's budget and the quality of her work exceeds many other local photographers that I looked into in a similar price range. My husband and I look awesome in our photos, you could never tell we were running on 2 hours of sleep. We loved absolutely every image Maria composed and would recommend her to anyone :)

We try to customize all of our collections to your needs, and more importantly your budget. When you buy a gown you should know there are many different choices, and not all of them are obvious. We can shoot your wedding in many styles or a combination of styles. We can do it in a more traditional style with candid's and portraits like you've seen forever, or we can do it in a photo journalistic style which is completely candid and unobtrusive. We can do black and whites, infrared, sepia and so forth. We can do it any way you want!! Our personal preference is make you happy, and mix it all together. The way I'd describe our work is kind of like this... We are a combination of vintage glamor meets modern contemporary. We are looking to explore and find that inner beauty of what a wedding really is. We would love to meet with you and find out more about your wed

I love taking pictures of food but when I'm the subject - the awkward glutton comes out. So, at my friend's insistence (and promise of brunch at the Pearl), I decided to join her for a morning photo shoot. I was nervous but, seeing my friend's pictures on Facebook helped me overcome any reservations about Angelica and Keith at Authentic Joy. We took photos very early in the morning around the Pearl and inside Hotel Emma. The early morning light coupled with Angelica's skills made us all look like models! Angelica and Keith worked with us to help us be as natural as possible. After shooting for awhile, I became way more comfortable, mostly in part because of Keith and and Angelica. Angelica has such a warm and engaging personality. She made us feel at ease with her silliness. She and Keith took into consideration our vision and thoughts, while giving us inspiration on what to do next. I don't know about you guys but I just want to stand around. Posing is hard! But Angelica managed to make me a convincing guest at the swanky Hotel Emma in our photos. After a few days, Angelica already edited and posted the pictures for us to preview. I'm so pleased with how our pictures turned out! I've also gotten a ton of compliments on how natural and elegant we looked in all the photos. Angelica and Keith have done weddings, quinceañeras, and family photos as well. Although they are a fledgling, local business, they have a gift for taking beautiful pictures that only many years of experience can rival. I can't wait to book them for future occasions!

We corresponded over email and her response time is about a day or less. She has about 3 different packages and about 9 locations she likes to shoot at. We chose Kualoa regional park because it had a few different backgrounds (beach, mountains, outriggers, and dock). On the day of the session she met us at the park and we walked to the locations. She was very easy to work with and she was pretty in tune with the needs of our 1 and 2 year olds. When the girls got fussy or didn't feel like cooperating she would shoot couples pictures of us. Her prices are very reasonable and the pictures came out amazing. We will definitely use her services again if we're back on Oahu.

Her professionalism, expertise, and friendliness were second to none! We had our 4 1/2 month old niece and nephew twins there and Mel was so great in not only organizing the photos to accommodate them, but also so great at capturing them also! We stayed in Ko Olina and Mel knew exactly where to do the photo shoot and the best time of day for the beauty and lighting of the photos. The photographs she took were incredible! She was able to get us the gallery so quickly and they are awesome. If you are on Oahu and would like stunning photos from an awesome photographer, I highly recommend In The Light with Mel Photography!
