Disappointing and disorganized experience We took our kids…read moreto take photos with Santa at Ka Makana and made an appointment for 3:25 PM. Despite having a scheduled time, we weren't seen until close to 4:00 PM. There was no clear organization in the line appointments and walk-ins were mixed together, and walk-ins were being taken before those with reservations. When our appointment time had already passed and we stepped forward to ask when we would be seen, we were criticized by others in line, which was uncomfortable and completely avoidable with proper line management. The most disappointing part was the actual interaction with Santa. There was little engagement with the kids, they weren't asked what they wanted for Christmas. This was especially frustrating since the reservation form specifically asks what your child wants for Christmas. What's the point of including that information if it's never used? We made an appointment expecting a smoother process and a more magical, personalized experience for our kids. Unfortunately, neither happened. Definitely not what we expected, especially during the holidays.

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!

He positioned us quickly so he was able to get the sunset and the beauty of the Hawaiian backdrop. Radek didn't miss a beat and had a smile the entire time, making us feel comfortable all the way through. If you want to work with a professional, look no further. Thank you again to the Right Frame Photography team!

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!

Once on the beach she was such a pleasure to talk to just as a human being, and made taking pictures relaxing, she did such a great job with our two year old son (making him laugh) and me being pregnant (feeling comfortable in a see-thru flowy gown). She told me the pictures could take up to 2-3 weeks before we got them, and around week 4 I text her to make sure everything was okay, and the next day she sent us the pictures. I didn't want to to rush her because I did a lot of research on photographers and her aesthetic was so beautiful and worth waiting for, but was insanely relieved that all was good and gave us the pictures close to checking in. My only feedback to anyone working with Krystal is to give her the time she needs to do her job - it's worth every penny and minute! And when she delivered the pictures they were incredible. They turned out SO GOOD! I knew they'd be good but I still have no idea how she was able to capture some of the photos she did. These are priceless memories we get to keep forever thanks to her and I'm so grateful we were able to book Krystal for a maternity photoshoot. I will be contacting Krystal again for photos in the future for all our family events from here on. We love her work and want to say thank you!

From the very beginning, Krystal was incredibly responsive, kind, patient, and accommodating. When our travel plans changed a few weeks before our session, she effortlessly adjusted our time without any issue. During the session, Krystal made us feel completely comfortable--even though we're not natural "posers" or used to professional photos. We are absolutely in love with how our pictures turned out! The quality is incredible, and my husband was especially impressed that we received so many beautiful images to choose from. If you're considering photos while visiting Hawaii or need someone to capture a special occasion, family session, or couples shoot, we highly recommend Krystal. Thank you, Krystal, for capturing our 10-year anniversary trip so beautifully!

He was so friendly and made us all feel comfortable in front of the camera. He was also great at getting us to laugh and act silly, and those pictures ended up being some of our favorites! The final photos were absolutely beautiful. We were also really happy that the Bliink team gave us the chance to request edits--my sister's red tank top straps clashed with everyone's blue outfits, and the photo editor was able to seamlessly remove them. We'll always treasure the photos, and we would absolutely use Blinnk again!

Just to be clear our appt was for 12/6/25 and it was booked on 11/25/25, not last minute. The young girl at the desk listened to my frustration. She tried to book us for the next day but my son was leaving at 5:00am. She finally said she would do the photos herself. However, I do not think she was a photographer. She had no experience with the baby and just kept saying "Smile Baby". The photos were okay, but out of 119 we liked 4 or 5. This was the second time we used them, the last time wasn't great either and it was for my daughter's engagement. We thought we would try again. We bought a few but only because we did so much to make it happen. SO disappointing for a Marriott approved company. I feel they would have used a better photographer at their resort.

I honestly don't like to write reviews but I felt like this one was warranted. Tara is very kind,…read morehospitable, and flexible. I appreciated she split our time with us between our actual wedding and before wedding shots. I understand everyone has "their own style" but some things were not about style. Granted, I know the Hawaiian sun is harsh, but as a photographer, you must understand lighting. The pre wedding photos we took down in the blowhole were good, but not great. None of the photos had any editing, and if there was any, I couldn't see where. She left nips in my dress there, and did not blur them. Horrible posing, and very few that I could actually show my family or friends. I was so embarrassed that as a woman she wouldn't understand modesty. Now, my wedding...there's the kicker. Half of my guests were facing the sun. She placed everyone in harsh sunlight, which created harsh shadows, and caused my guests eyes to be squinted or closed. I am not even a photographer, and I think I have enough common sense not to face people towards the sun. I don't understand why she did this. Very few photos I could use. I am having to learn photoshop because I am hoping to salvage some of these. I have so many harsh shadows and she washed everyone out, that I cant barely touch these up in Photoshop. Once the lighting is messed up, theres not much I can do to save the photo. She did not pay attention to detail and took pictures of us in a street where there were cars, street signs, ugly buildings, and structures in the background. I will never understand why she did this. I was really sad, It has taken me a year to return to my wedding photos and try to fix them. With so many tools in photoshop, even as a beginner, why not crop out the ugly telephone pole, street sign, or make the grass a little better? I live in Florida and this was our destination wedding. I paid her upfront and immediately, a year in advance (just about). The pictures she gave me look nothing like what I saw on her website or instagram. I was so disheartened. I am glad I did get a video from someone else. I paid so much less for an amazing video from someone else. If I could do it again, I would have paid someone else. It felt like she pointed and clicked with no rhyme or reason, and no retouching or editing was done of any kind. It's like she didn't care about what she was doing, or the quality of work. This was my wedding and almost all pictures have shadows, squinted faces, or eyes closed. Not acceptable for wedding photos. My friends and family's iPhone pictures actually turned out better. Please think long and hard, and really look before you pay someone for your wedding photos. You only have one wedding, don't hire a bad photographer who doesn't pay attention to details. Im sorry I have to leave this review, but its not okay to pay that amount of money for a once in a lifetime event for it to be so sloppy. Again, this is not an attack on her personally, but the work was just not there. you can see some of where I tried to fix attached. The before on the left hand side and the right the after. Mind you these are some of the best ones. There are way worse ones with harsh shadows and eyes.

When it came time to work with JP, he was the perfect balance of professional and personable. He created such a comfortable, safe space and knew exactly how to guide me in a way that made me feel 100% confident in my body. What started as a simple clothed shoot naturally evolved into an implied nude session and I never once felt anything but empowered and supported. If you've ever thought about doing something like this, don't hesitate! This is an experience you won't regret. I can honestly say it's more than just a photo shoot; it's a confidence boost, a moment of self-love and a chance to see yourself in a whole new light. Fair warning... you'll probably want to book another session just to feel that magic all over again and capture even more stunning photos!

He worked with my schedule being that I was on vacation and communicated very well. His wife Rosie was a total sweetheart. She took her time and really showed passion in her work. After hair and makeup were completed, she did a whole videoed reveal with me. It was a total celebration! Rosie really made me look like a complete goddess with hair and makeup! JP showed me a few different locations as to where we could go being I wasn't familiar with the area and ultimately left the decision up to me as to what I liked best. During the photo shoot, he was incredibly respectful and professional. He communicated every step of the way and gave clear concise directions on what to do and how to pose. He knew exactly what he was doing. JP and Rosie were so welcoming. The photos received were absolutely beautiful! I never thought I could look so stunning. The pictures are a total confidence booster and I cannot wait to complete an album for my husband. If you are unsure on booking a session, just do it!! You will not regret it! If I ever take another trip to Hawaii, I will for sure be reaching out again. Thank you so much, JP and Rosie, for the most welcoming and incredible experience. You both were so wonderful to work with and I am forever grateful for this experience.
