His response was lightning fast,and his customer service was top-notch-I've never experienced anything like it!He asked about our preferred location,and when we said no,he recommended a spot that was PERFECT. My daughter loved working with him;he's super professional,friendly,and full of energy! The pics were-we loved them all! We ended up hiring Kyler twice(graduation and her 18th bday party),and we're still obsessed with the results. Kyler and Lance are a dream team-easy to work with and totally professional. We've worked with a bunch of photographers,but Kai-Photo is on another level (and their prices are so reasonable!). I'm still smiling every time I look at the photos-they're just that good! Highly recommended Kai-Photo Hawai'i for your next event or photo shoot. Can't wait to work with them again! Thank you,Kyler and team -job well done! M. Domingo Obana P.S. Love our photo book from July 2025 too!"

SO MANY reasons why this whole experience was a 10/10…read more This was the first photoshoot my daughter and I did together just the 2 of us, so it was extra special. Matty took us on an adventure that was perfect for my 4 year old. She loved every minute of it and keeps asking when we're doing it again. And then THE PHOTOS. Matty is super talented. He will climb, get in the bushes, and basically do whatever it takes to get the right shot. I've worked with a lot of photographers through my work, Matty is a very rare find. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

That is why booking a service like Matt provides is a must! We had a big family trip planned on Oahu and wanted to do as much stuff as we could for the week we were there. I was referred to Matt as someone who could not only plan and make arrangements for all the stuff we wanted to do, but also he could capture all those moments with his photography. Sure, we can all snap a pic with our phone and most of the quality is pretty darn good, but being able to have someone else thinking about it and getting shots that were epic was something we had not done before and I would greatly advise ditching the selfy stick and trying this method out. You won't regret it! Give Matt a call for your next trip to the islands and I promise he doesn't disappoint!

Her creativity definately shows in her pictures and she is so amazing with the things she can do with the elements and the environment. I enjoyed her down to earth personality and it made the session feel more comfortable and fun.

She is a natural-born photographer whose passion lets the subject, environment, and atmosphere spark her creativity that is so hard to find. She was definately fun to work with and I was sad to see our session end, but in the end, her photos are amazing and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her! Great spots: Waimanolo Beach and Botanical Gardens :)

One thing that made a big impact with us was how we traveled together, and recommended we stop for a little while to enjoy the Pali lookout. As someone who was born and raised in Hawaii (now living in Illinois) and returning for a week, I was surprised to have a photographer who knew the island so well, so much so that there were places even I had never known about! Count me in the list of most praiseworthy reviews for her passion, her social nature, and her flexibility for whatever challenges may come her way. Somehow she always seems to make turn any obstacle into an unexpected opportunity. We proudly feature our entire portfolio of her work on our own Flickr account, and our best photos of the bunch at http://bit.ly/mailaphotos. Photos with loved ones are about saving the most precious memories and the most precious times, and Malia gave us a precious treasure that will last forever. Your search is over - book her now!

I'm definitely a little more awkward feeling and shy than I used to be, but Mahina made me feel so much more comfortable and confident ! A friend of mine asked me (an amateur) to be a model (gasp lol) for some products she was releasing, bags, tees, etc. so I of course was nervous but so happy to help. We shot at two locations on two separate days, the first being a more private secluded area and the second a much more public walk through town. My friend didn't really know what she wanted to do just that she needed these pieces shot so she could do this next launch but Mahina really stepped up, took control, and helped make the shoot as efficient and comfortable as possible. She was kind, creative, funny, and so sweet ! Mahina totally hyped us up and made us feel good about it throughout the shoot. She has such a fun and lively energy that makes her easy to work with. Overall, these photos were beautiful and really showcased my friend and her business in such a beautiful light (literally and figuratively of course). I've seen some of her work for other artists, weddings, couples, businesses, families, etc. and would 1000% recommend you check her out and book her for your photography needs. She shoots from Hawaii to New York and she does an amazing job !!

From the very first time we talked to her (over the phone) and then to our first Zoom meeting, it was like we had known her for forever and hadn't even met her in person yet!! She has such a comfortable nature about her, and she makes you feel so relaxed and natural. On top of all of that, SHE'S SO FREAKING TALENTED!! (Seriously, check out her instagram) Thank you Mahina, for everything you did for us on our wedding day and after. We will cherish our photos forever and can't wait to come back to Oahu to visit. If you are looking for an incredible and flexible photography for your wedding, family photos, baby shower, birthday event, anything, she is your girl.

I inquired with Allan about our daughter's 1st birthday after seeing his work on IG. I emailed…read moreAllan to inquire about his photography services and got a quick response with the different services he offers. I had already booked photobooth with our emcee package so I was looking more at his Photo/Video Event Service. Which I should of looked into his photobooth service because he had a better deal but definitely will look into booking more services for future events. I was in contact with Alan throughout the year for any questions and concerns I had. He's quick to respond and is available through text or email. I also added the slideshow services a few months before after a fallout of another vendor I was suppose to do it with. He was able to do it with no problems. I gave the slideshow pictures a little over a week before the party and he showed me a sample of it. It got me choked up on how beautifully it turned out with all the pictures and songs put together. We just had our daughter's birthday within the last week and had Allan photographing our event with the help of Makoto doing the video. They both were prompt and ready to service the event. At first I was suppose to have the VIP photo wall at the entrance so we could take pictures with our guests upon arrival but due to the winds outside it had to be moved it. It crowded the area a bit with couple vendors aside the photo area but Allan tried his best to make use of the wall and have us take pictures. We were all over the place so we didn't get to use it to the full potential but I know he capture all the important stuff during our event. Especially suggesting to take our family photo outside. He took some great captures of her smiling! Allan just sent me a link to the sneak peak photos and I'm excited to see more photos as he'll work on continuing to edit in the next few weeks. After all the running around during the day to set up for the party and the hectic night of welcoming people in, I didn't get a chance to take pictures myself so I'm glad I had them to capture the moments to relive on later. He provides great quality work and am definitely looking forward to looking at the video highlights as well. Thank you Allan and Makoto of Photo Ops Hawaii for servicing our daughter's 1st birthday!

They had actually been one of the photo booth companies I had been following on Instagram but I was still deciding. She had nothing but good things to say about them so I checked out the prices and inquired. All communication with Allan was great. I gave him vectors that I used to make our invitations and after I showed him an example of what I kind of wanted he did a great job creating our layout. At the wedding, the staff was so nice to all of our guests. Our cocktail got moved from outside to inside in the foyer. They offered to start earlier so our guests could have some fun during the cocktail hour. We all loved the fun props and I'm super picky about lighting and the lighting on their booth is awesome. Lastly, they provide you with an online album to view and download all your photos which was great because I got distracted at the wedding of course and misplaced mine. My husband and I highly recommend PhotoOps Hawaii!! Affordable and great quality :)
