We've happily used Element Snapshots TWICE for vacation family portraits in 2021 (Kauai) and 2022 (Big Island). Do not hesitate - the experience, photographers and photos were truly incredible. In 2021 Matt did an extensive sunrise session at Kauai's southshore with my husband and son (sadly our older son missed the trip due to Covid). When our whole family visited the Big Island in September 2022 I called Matt again hoping to get a recommendation for that area. Incredibly, he and Kayli flew over and photographed us on the Kona coast. And they were able to quickly adjust the schedule and shooting strategy when our initial sunset appointment fell through.
My guys were a bit skeptical about getting up before dark for a photo shoot. But Matt and Kayli made it so much fun, showed us interesting places, and really drew out our personalities with their warmth and friendliness. Each of them had a camera with different lenses, so they could capture all the active poses. We were blown away by the resulting beautiful shots - exceptional use of natural light and these gorgeous coastal settings! read more
