You can't go wrong with Jordan

My husband and I have wanted to work with Jordan Nagasako of HI Focused since we started planning…read moreour dream Maui wedding last year. Jordan is an incredibly talented cinematographer and storyteller. He captured every perfect moment of our dream wedding, exceeding our expectations for our wedding video. Jordan was easy to communicate and work with, and he delivered our full wedding video, raw video footage, and previews in less than two weeks. Jordan also provided short video snippets for me to use across my personal branded social media channels. As a content creator, I appreciated his thoughtfulness in providing me with different types of content for my personal branded social media channels. We hope to work with Jordan again for our 5th or 10th-year wedding anniversary celebration. We highly recommend working with Jordan Nagasako of Hi Focused if you're looking for a cinematographer to capture your special day.

Pacific Dream Photography is professional, timely and provides great photographers to capture any moment and the pricing is not much more than a professional photo session back home. They were on-time to start the shot, Ana was friendly and made sure we were all properly placed and staged for the each photo location. She never made us feel rushed and made sure we got all of the images we wanted. The photos were ready for viewing less than 24 hours later and we received our digital copies within the hour. The only hard part was selecting which photos to buy!! We will be using this service again on future trips.

Everyone loved it there, and you did such a wonderful job capturing the gorgeous moments from the wedding and one of the best days of our lives! The quality of your video and story that you told within it is beautiful. We had the best wedding crew ever. Thank you so much for everything! We watched it immediately and knew it was going to be amazing to share with everyone. Thank you so much again. If we are ever in Maui, we know the people we need to recommend. You are the GOAT! :)

On 5.23.19 at 4:30pm, the love of my life and I shared the most beautiful moments together on the…read moreisland of Maui at Sugar Beach Events. Surrounded by family and friends, Andrew Barrera of Salty Trades Media captured not only the visual representation of our wedding, but all of the raw passion, support and sounds that accompanied it. Andrew was able to record over 7 hours of love on our big day and poetically composed a 7 minute cinema for us to enjoy, share and reminisce upon. I feel it's very important to note that Andrew of Salty Trades is NOT A VIDEOGRAPHER. Andrew is a CINEMATOGRAPHER. He will not just record your day, he will turn it into a movie fit for the big screen. The difference is in the way he captures the events and later edits them. The difference is in the passion and love he puts behind his art. Most wedding vendors see the event as a paycheck or a simple "money-maker" so to speak. But not Andrew. From the beginning, when we first found Andrew, he was so elated and excited to help us capture our big day. He was so helpful and answered every single one of our questions without dancing around it. He was super kind and friendly but also straight to the point when it came to answering our questions which made it easy to understand him. He took his time explaining each option that he had available to us and went in-depth about what the difference was between him and everybody else. Needless to say, we made the right decision. Andrew brought a personal touch to the entire wedding. He brought us into his home to record our vows in his PROFESSIONAL RECORDING STUDIO. This gave us the opportunity to recite our vows in a quiet place that would allow for "crisp and clear" audio for our cinema. His wife Sarah welcomed us with open arms and his dogs Lily and Charlie were the most loving little pups on island. He made us feel like family. He coached us through the entire recording process and made us feel comfortable so that we had very little to stress about (because if you're getting married, you already understand that you've got enough stress on your plate as it is) because he understands what it's like to be in our shoes. Andrew gave us peace of mind, which for newly weds, is all we want. But above all, He gave us the best cinema that we could have ever asked for. Our family, our friends, our coworkers, everyone that has ever taken them time to view it, have stated it's not just a video, "it's a movie". We've received so many texts and comments about how much they love it and how they cried while watching it, accompanied with crying emojis. It's a fairytale cinema that every bride and groom want. At the end of our trip on 5.30.18, Andrew again, asked us to stop by his house to check out our cinema. Please note that we were married on 5.23.19. Andrew completed our cinema in 6 days and he presented it to us on the 7th day. This meant he worked tirelessly through the days and nights to provide us with our movie. His hard work went above and beyond anything we could've ever asked for. He provided us with 7 hours of raw 4K footage, our full 25 minute ceremony in 4K(on a separate file), over 50 still-shots captured from the 4K footage (in separate files), our very own YouTube link that NEVER EXPIRES, a 60 second snippet for social media that then redirects to our YouTube link with a simple click, and explained that he would keep all of it himself on a personal hard drive so that in case we ever lost it, he would have it. As well as to pull still shots from at a later date should we choose to. Andrew provided us with the professionalism and quality cinema and was absolutely worth every dollar. He is not just a cinematographer. Andrew and his wife are now family to us both. We cannot emphasize enough how proud we are of his work. I hope that everyone who reads this, sincerely considers every word and discusses with Andrew what he can do for you at your special event. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you Andrew for everything you've done for us. With much love and happiness, Jordan and Bianca Epperson Please find below the link to our wedding cinema: https://youtu.be/s5bOKIeJvIk

It has great choices of footage, focus, camera movements, lighting, etc etc makes for a beautiful, professional story-telling, and that simply took our breathes away.

He was very responsive and easy to work with in my planning process. He showed up on time and waa great to work with. He only taped our ceremony as our reception was back in California. But I requested a one week turn around for our highlight video and he did it and did it beautifully. There was a slight error and it was correctly quickly and without issue. We showed the video at our reception and received so many compliments. I still watch the video over and over again and feel like I am reliving my wedding each time. He captured the moments beautifully and put such a great story together. I would work with Wandgu and Wedding Movies Maui again and again! Highly recommend! Great team and great creativity.

Wangdu captured all the special moments of our ceremony and even captured details that we overlooked due to all the excitement. He has a great energy about him. Makes you feel very comfortable while he is filming, as though the cameras aren't even there. The final video he sent was very professionally done, great background music, and creative edit. You can tell he takes his work seriously. Even though we had a wedding just for two, he stayed the entire two hours as our photographer did to capture sunset footage. I would recommend him to anyone. We have posted this video on youtube and all of our family members have raved about his work.

Caleb is amazing! We initially were not going to hire videography for the wedding because we had a…read morehard time budgeting, but we are SO GLAD that we did. We would have regretted it if we did not have video (No Ka Oi specifically) there. For anyone on the fence, make room in your budget NOW! We booked him about a month before the wedding, and luckily he was still available. We really appreciated that he made the effort to get to know us and our style with the short notice. When we finally decided yes on video, it was him or no one! He stood out to me because of how colorful and upbeat his videos are. This resonates with him too! Caleb is a very down to earth and joyful person. Him and his video assistant, Summer, made us feel super comfortable. I loved how they captured us and our guests naturally and put together an awesome video of how fun the evening was. Your wedding goes by so fast. There is so much love and energy that we were overstimulated and you can't be everywhere at once! It was very helpful to have Caleb and Summer fill in our blanks and video moments we missed. We had such a great time working with NoKaOi Video and highly recommend it to everyone!

I made sure I booked him a year in advanced. Communicating with Caleb was so easy. He is an amazing guy! We received our teaser film one week after our wedding and the 6 minute video took 4 months.

We couldnt be happier with our videos and I have probably watched it over 50 times. Highly recommend No Ka Oi Films!

They fit our budget and we liked their filming style based on the clips they posted on their website. We were most interested in their drone footage as well. This is a must since we wanted to capture how gorgeous Maui is. Jesse was our videographer. He showed up early and stayed late. Even though we only booked him for three hours, he stayed a little later to capture our sunset photos. We received our video clip in less than 8 weeks and couldn't be more pleased. Jesse captured all of our important moments so eloquently and I'll always be so grateful. You only get one wedding day and now I can relive it each time I watch my wedding video. Thank you All Time Media!

Exceeded all our expectations I just can not say enough…read moreabout this company and the owners Juliana and Andre. They were 100% professional from the moment we contacted them for my daughter's wedding at Andaz-Maui, until we had the final products in our hands. Right from the beginning Juliana replied to emails, always timely and always making good recommendations or answering questions precisely. Andre who was our videographer was just wonderful to work with. He was able to capture all that we wanted him to and the final edits of the videos we requested were just amazing. For such an important event it is important to give this recommendation because I can not imagine how disappointed we would have been had we not hired Juliana and Andre for our wedding!!!! They are totally worth every penny and more!

One word to sum up Hi Light Films: Wow!…read more One of the best investments you could ever make for your wedding day is to hire amazing videographers like Jordan, Amber and their team. At the end of the day, when everyone has forgotten the speeches, what color your napkins you had, the type of flowers you had in your centerpieces or the dance moves you were seeing on the dance floor, the one thing that you will forever have is your wedding film! I say look no further! Jordan is very easy going and was easily accessible every time we had questions. He was quick to schedule a phone call with us whenever we wanted to clarify information. He was also very honest with us in term of our timeline and gave us suggestions on what we can do to best utilize our day. Hi Lights captured our day beautifully. The opening shot legitimately looks like a painting-they really captured the beauty of our venue! They captured special moments like my grandma on the dance floor having a blast with our glow sticks to my mom and little brother slow dancing. Right off the bat, I felt at ease when I met Amber. She is personable and funny. It never felt awkward that we had cameras on us. They worked discretely-always ensuring that they were not intruding or blocking anyone's view. At one point, I saw Amber and Michael on the GROUND and I had no idea how long they have been filming there to make sure that they get all the shots they needed!! They're video ninjas with a purpose! In addition, their turn around time is unbelievable. Our film was ready to go about 2.5 weeks after our wedding (their timeline might vary depending on the season). Give Hi Light an email or a call and you won't regret it! You guys are awesome! Thanks!!

Wow! Where do I start?! Ok I'll start with getting straight to he point !!! Jordan and his team are…read moreamazing. So creative, great personalities and professional. For some like myself I was on a strict budget and I searched Hi and low for a common that could capture one of the most memorable days on film. Hi Light pricing is affordable and considering what you get from it. It's a deal! I was so pleased with our video and the coverage. It's more than just. Wedding video you get. You get a mini film capturing not great shots. But a great story! If your looking for someone to capture the moment and not just the shot then you will not go wrong. And if you have more $$$ to burn check out his other co. HI Focus! We were beyond satisfied and so in love with their work.

I'm highly disappointed in practices of Image Sense Hawaii and specifically Guillermo (Willy)…read moreNavarro who shot my sister's wedding in Hawaii. After my sister repeatedly requested to have all the original files to Willy, not even once he acknowledged or try to accommodate her wishes. What she was given was a really poorly edited DVD disk with such bad quality (SD) that it was almost unusable. Consequently, after my sister tried to reach out to him without any luck, she asked me to get in contact as I'm more technically versed having worked in post production. Willy was blatantly trying to extort $250 from us to get the original files which we are entitled to, for the "time it takes to transfer them" to a hard drive. He desperately tried to manipulate the situation by saying that... "picking up the drive from the store, coming to the office, finding the footage from archival, re-formatting the drive, transferring it, packaging it, and then taking it to the post office" .... justifies the £250 he's asking for. I then told him that I can order the drive (which costs $95), order to have it picked up (it only costs $20 with FedEX to a total of $115) and all he needs to do it copy and paste the files (literally nothing else he needs to do). It's ridiculous that this photographer thinks that he can exploit regular people who are not familiar with the technical workflows but he didn't know who he's dealing with this time. I urge everyone NOT to use his services and take a stand against exploitation.
