He spent a considerable amount of time trying to get a variety of shots and backgrounds. The weather wasn't ideal so he suggested we meet again another day at a different location at no additional cost to us. Derrick went above and beyond and even created a CD when I had trouble downloading the pictures. He was easy to reach, great to work with, extremely professional and early to both of the photo shoots. My mother and I were very pleased with the photos he took and will hire him again. Thanks for capturing our time together so beautifully, Derrick. It was such a pleasure meeting and working with you and we look forward to seeing you again!

I hired Derrick to shoot some fashion photos and headshots and he was great to work with. He was…read moreable to schedule me quickly, and he took me to a location that was perfect for the shoot. He spent a lot of time making sure that we got what we needed. He made me feel really comfortable, and I was blown away with the final product. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for portraits, and I will use him again in the future.

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.

Going with Annie and Curtis from Mango Seasons was a no-brainer for us to help plan our wedding and…read morehandle all the day of coordination. The last thing we wanted was to be too stressed out to enjoy our special day. They were an absolute lifesaver throughout the entire process who brought structure, guidance, and reassurance and made our special day the best of our lives. We had monthly check‑ins that kept us on track without ever feeling rushed, and their planning software kept every detail organized in a way we never could've managed on our own. It felt like having a roadmap to keep us on track while avoiding all the common pitfalls of the process. Whenever we wanted to discuss an item that made us stressed, Annie knew exactly what to say to help make us feel at ease. On the day-of, everything ran so flawlessly that we were completely unaware of anything happening behind the scenes. We got to be fully present, enjoy our day, and soak in every moment while they handled all the moving parts with total professionalism. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Annie, Curtis, and the Mango Season Team!

They are easy to work with and we received many compliments on our wedding about the execution of our day . From the moment we were hooked up with them from our venue (The Moana Surfrider) they have been nothing but helpful through the whole process, making planning our wedding easy. Annie has a bubbly upbeat attitude and her partner Curtis is calm and reassuring. Communication was continuous and helpful. We also hired them as our band and everyone was so impressed when Annie was able to join them after a day of getting us to our ceremony and reception. Their team is amazing and we are so happy they helped us !

This is THE wedding photographer to hire. Anthony Consillio is a true professional photographer who…read moredid an above- and- beyond job on my wedding day ( October 9, 2010) I would describe his personality as creative, patient, helpful and professional. His website online conveniently has a slideshow of his work and a price list right on the main page so it is so easy to see the information you want. His prices are amazing ( THE BEST PRICES YOU CAN FIND ON THE ISLAND) HE EVEN HAS A MILITARY DISCOUNT. On my wedding day... - he arrived before the ceremony - helped organize my family and friends for the photographs -he even instructed me on how to hold my bouquet properly -showed my husband and I how to cut our wedding cake ( because no one else was helping us) I would have been so lost without him. He did so much more than just take photos. I just cannot thank him enough and I knew that I had to write a review to share my great experience on yelp.

She was so patient as it took a couple of hours for my son to finally calm down and fall asleep. Once he fell asleep, Samantha was so efficient and has a great natural touch with babies! She was open to our ideas and also had her own ideas as far as poses. I got the finished pictures the next day and was so impressed. We used one of her photos for our birth announcements and I have received so many compliments! I am getting ready to book another session. If you need photos taken, let Samantha take care of you!

I can't express how grateful I am to have had Nichole Shin as my wedding planner for our October…read more2022 wedding. From the initial consultation to the last dance, Nichole was amazing. Her servies were worth every penny! We talked to 3 wedding planners in Jan 2022, but chose Nichole. She helped us (in California) plan our dream wedding in only 9 months! She is warm and kind, and answers any question without making you feel dumb (even if I felt like it was a dumb question to ask!). Nichole does not do many weddings per a year (1-2 weddings a month). Some wedding planners do 50 weddings a year! Those wedding planners don't have enough attention to give your wedding. Because Nichole limits the weddings she does, she can focus on you and your wedding, which we valued. She is super responsive to our communication. She also sent us a sweet welcome package when we signed the contract with her. Nichole was also not pushy and non-judgemental when it came to decisions. She provided us the info to make a decision and let us decide. From the start, Nichole set us up on Aisle Planner. This had a VERY helpful checklist of what we needed to get done by when, and a budget section to track spending. She worked with us to create an initial budget. I loved that she could help us with deciding how to much to spend on different parts of the wedding. For example, she sent us example photos for each price point for flowers. It was super helpful! Based on our budget, Nichole recommended us a few vendors that fit our style and budget. It saved us so much research time to get a pre-vetted list and all the vendors were amazing. She helped us set up times to chat with all the vendors and we quickly reserved all the vendors. Nichole is so knowledgeable and experienced with the vendors as well. She knows which linen rentals company on the island is the best and which caterer's staff would be willing to help move chairs/furniture (from ceremony to the reception). Nichole also shielded us from the drama that was happening behind the scenes at the venue. There was some back-and-forth with the caterer at the last minute and Nichole helped with that. She worked with me to generate a design concept for the wedding. I already picked out a venue that I wanted (Dillingham Ranch). Luckily Nichole had done several weddings there before, so she knew the layout. I told her where I wanted the ceremony and the cocktail hour, and she figured out the layout for the venue (which tables go where, photobooth, DJ table, etc). She knew exactly which rentals we needed, so I didn't have to worry about it. She gave us a nice PDF of all the rental options and price points. Nichole made sure to review all the contracts we were signing as well. She helped me with the design of the table places and they turned out so gorgeous! She also helped us figure out a timeline for the wedding day and book a hotel block. When we came to visit Oahu pre-wedding, Nichole joined us at the venue to look around and confirm our layout worked. She also helped us book the caterer tasting and accompanied us (the cake tasting was the best part!). We also wanted a welcome event and post-wedding brunch. Nichole recommended venues for the post-wedding brunch (which we planned ourselves). She helped us print our stationary for the wedding and set those up on the day of the wedding. We were also able to ship Nichole packages via Amazon that we needed (i.e. frames, etc). We were able to borrow some of Nichole's items for the wedding as well. The only minor lapse on our wedding day was that the makeup artist did not follow the schedule Nichole created. They took too long, so my mom's makeup wasn't done in time for getting ready photos. But that wasn't Nichole's fault, and she later mentioned if I had told her earlier, then we probably could have gotten a partial refund! Her assistants were very helpful during phototaking since they helped with my dress (so my bridemaids could go enjoy cocktail hour). Out of everyone I know who has had a wedding planner, we are the only couple who likes their wedding planner Everyone one else I know did not have a good experience with theirs. Keep in mind, even with a full-service wedding planner, you will still have to make a lot of decisions and do work yourself (i.e. invitations, managing RSVPs/wedding website, designing stationary, picking music/outfits, etc). But trust me when I say that you will not regret picking Nichole to help plan your wedding!
