Kayli was incredible throughout the entire planning process. Even though we never met her in person, she made everything feel easy, personal, and organized. Her communication, guidance, and care showed in every detail. Her husband, Matt, photographed our second shoot, and he was absolutely wonderful to work with. He did great at instructing us awkward folks to pose, and was able to capture those natural moments that feel so genuine. Ipo also did a fantastic job documenting our ceremony, and we are so thankful to have those memories preserved so beautifully. The florals were perfect. I brought my haku lei and bouquet through the airport to enjoy throughout my honeymoon. Every detail felt thoughtful, organized, and perfectly matched to the vision we had described. This team really does it all, and does it with talent, kindness, and true artistry. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Mahalo!!

Me and the hubs…read morehad a civil ceremony in our hometown of San Diego but wanted some nice "wedding style" photos while we were in Kauai for our honeymoon. First and foremost I reached out to about 3 other photographers on the island, the prices were a bit high for a short session. Also because I wasn't familiar with the area I asked the other photographers if they had any suggestions, most of them were pretty vague and didn't give me much feedback. I e-mailed Josh via his website, he replied pretty quickly and I sensed the enthusiasm in his e-mails he suggested a few places in the vicinity of the area we were staying at, I Googled them (all really beautiful) and his prices were very reasonable! He was our dude! Josh is really a chill and nice guy and also very professional (he was early and flexible with our meet time) and makes you feel relaxed throughout the whole session. Even the hubs who isn't really the let's pose and take pictures type said it was a cool experience. We will really cherish these photo keepsakes when we're old and gray and the great memories of our stay in Kauai. Thanks Josh!

We booked an engagement session with Naomi in October 2017 at Ke'e beach. We had awful rain throughout the entire day. We were very concerned that the engagement session would not happen. We heard from Naomi throughout the afternoon about what we should do about the rain, alternative times / dates if the rain persisted. I was pretty panicked because I had paid for hair and makeup and I really wanted the photos done. Naomi was relaxed and wonderful throughout the session! Thankfully the rain dissipated. We had a wonderful experience during the session. Naomi gave easy instructing to direct us through different poses. She had a quick turn around with the photos. We are thrilled with the results. We have had great feedback from our families and friends about the photos. We have used them for our save the dates and wedding website. We would recommend her, and if we were ever back in Kauai we would do another session with her!

They're a husband and wife team and such a delight to work with. I ended up being the liason between my family and our photographers. Kama answered each and every question my family had, and there were many. She made the booking process a breeze, and when it came to our photoshoot, we had a great session! Both Kama and Bran came to the session, and they were so kind and professional, during the photoshoot as well as all of our correspondence before and after the shoot. We have a large family, and our photographer Bran was able to capture so many great shots for us. And we got to cover all the different family member combos in our large group. The photos we received are gorgeous! My family is so happy with them. If any of my friends or colleagues travel to Kaua'i and need a photographer, I'm definitely recommending Kama & Bran.

I don't even know where to begin--working with Sandy was one of the greatest blessings of our…read morewedding day. From the moment we met her, she radiated such bright, calming, positive energy, which was everything I needed while I was internally panicking and wildly anxious doing something so far outside my comfort zone. Sandy was so much more than a photographer. She effortlessly stepped into a dozen roles--calming presence, gentle guide, hype woman, problem solver, and grounding force. When I realized I had forgotten my wedding bouquet back at the hotel, she immediately reassured me that I didn't need it at all--and she was absolutely right. She made everything feel intentional, natural, and perfect just as it was. My husband and I are shy, reserved people who don't love PDA, yet somehow Sandy brought us completely out of our shells. She made us laugh, helped us feel confident, and encouraged us to truly live in the moment instead of worrying about how we looked. The way she complimented me at exactly the moments I needed it most meant more than she'll ever know. And the photos... I cried when I saw them. Sandy captured us so authentically--every emotion, every quiet glance, every burst of laughter. Nothing felt forced. Nothing felt staged. Just pure, honest love. If you're considering working with Sandy, do not hesitate. You would be incredibly lucky to have her by your side on such an important day. She is genuinely exceptional, and I will forever be grateful that she was part of ours. Mahalo nui, Sandy!

My husband and I no longer live on Kauai so when we came back on vacation, we knew we had to reach out to Sandy for more photos! No surprise that it was amazing again! We had such a fun time together while getting jaw dropping pictures. I can't thank Sandy enough for putting me in flattering poses and making me feel beautiful. I can say with confidence now, your photos will come out exceeding your expectations! Believe me, I've done it twice! I also had a nice reunion with the veil I left for her!

I booked Ikaika about a hidden proposal in Haena Beach Park a month before proposing in March 2025. I was unsure about location to propose so Ikaika consulted me on a phone call about potential locations and times available. He was very detailed and thorough about pros and cons and tailored his service towards my preferences. Ikaika also offered back up time slots in case other circumstances changed our scheduled shoot. Ikaika was responsive throughout the day of the photoshoot. Proposing is stressful enough and Ikaika made the coordination process seamless. Our photos came out incredible and better than I could have imagined! Ikaika captured the moment perfectly and I am so happy to have these photos to reflect and share for the rest of my life! Post proposal photoshoot went well and Ikaika has a great photography eye to combine the beauty of the scenery and his clients. We took up the full hour and took any photo requests we had. Ikaika delivered 8 sneak peak photos to us through email the day after the proposal. The rest of our photos were sent 2-3 weeks later.
