I had the honor of working with Brandon Onishi during one of the most difficult and emotional times…read morein my life -- my mother's funeral. From the very beginning, Brandon was incredibly kind, professional, and easy to work with. He communicated with me by phone and text, which made everything simple and smooth during a time when I had so many things on my mind. We were able to quickly secure the date, and the booking process was very easy. I paid the deposit through Venmo and the balance at the event. On the day of the service, Brandon handled everything beautifully. His setup and breakdown were effortless, and his music created such a meaningful atmosphere throughout the entire evening. During the funeral program, his music added a level of comfort and reflection that truly touched everyone in attendance. What made the day even more special was the music he played during the dinner reception afterward. It brought warmth to the room and allowed family and friends to gather, share memories, and celebrate my mom's life together. One moment that meant so much to me personally was when Brandon took the time to learn a song just for the service -- "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack. Hearing that song played live during the service was incredibly emotional and moving. Many people who attended told me how powerful and beautiful that moment was. Later on, Brandon shared with me that he now performs that song at other events because of how meaningful it was. Knowing that a small piece of my mom's memory continues through the music he plays is something that means a lot to me. If you are ever looking for someone to provide music for a special event, I cannot recommend Brandon Onishi enough. His professionalism, talent, and genuine care truly made a difference on a day that meant everything to my family.

The first time I heard Brandon perform, his music struck a chord in me (no pun intended) and I…read moreinstantly became a fan. I wholeheartedly endorse Brandon. His music stands out because he's not merely a musician, he's an artist who sings and plays from the heart and connects with this audience. I attend as many of his public performances as possible, and if I had an upcoming private event I would absolutely hire him. Marie B.

You told the story of our special day in the most perfect way and we'll cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Sherwin and Blake!

He gave us great direction on how to 'pose' or 'act', but gave us flexibility to do what we wanted too and have fun with it. Sherwin and Antonio were great to work with. We felt like friends during the wedding and it allowed my husband and me to let our authentic personalities come out. We absolutely loved working with them and can't wait to see how our video turned out. Even without having seen the final product yet, I know with certainty I'd hire Visionize again! We trust their vision, direction, and ability to capture such a special occasion.

Video 21 again was awesome. Throughout my friends wedding 6 years ago and my sisters wedding 2 years ago..many couples (about at least 10 that I can count on the top of my head) I know have chosen to work with Video 21. Many have said because they are the the nicest people in the universe and they are excellent in what they do. Trust me. I already knew Video 21 was going to be my videographer one day. on 11/10/12 I got married. I am SO not the type to be in front of the camera. On my wedding day...it did not feel like I was being videoed....(is that even a word). Davis and Janice were like friends coming over to see what was going on. They make you feel so comfortable you don't even have to worry about being camera shy. Their personalities are just pure addicting. When Toney and I met with Davis and Janice to discuss our interest...we ended up staying/talking for 2 hours! We just talked and got a feel of what we wanted on our day and they were very attentive. I am always and still EVEN after getting married..i keep up with their videos and they just know how to capture every moment perfectly. I highly recommend Video 21 for all your video needs...you will not regret it. Just watching our Same Day Edits... I know for sure the final product will be spectacular...just as they are. :) check out our same day edits if you like...and see what i mean. https://vimeo.com/53285003

We used this videographer for our wedding. It was pretty basic without any frills…read more My complaint was, we were given a timeline of when the video would be done and it wasn't. When I called to follow up, they said a few more weeks. I didn't think nothing of it. When I received our video, all of our faces were edited so we all look like a horror movie and we are crying. Very immature and unprofessional, as well as vindictive. I did not call to complain. We all laughed about it. In hind sight it is very disturbing this company would do something for a wedding video. There are so many good videographers out there. I would highly recommend to seek others.

We hired Isle Media for our wedding, drawn by their attention to detail in response to our original…read moreemail as we vetted vendors and their beautiful portfolio shared with us in a following meeting. The photos we received for our wedding turned out wonderfully -- our families were so happy with them, and we were grateful to have those memories captured. But sadly, we're now past 8 months since our wedding, and we still haven't received our highlight or full video, despite following up several times. We also asked for a few specific/missing photos (a large group reception shot and a portrait of the bride with her immediate family) that still haven't been delivered. What's been most disappointing is the lack of transparency and communication. We've been incredibly patient, giving space for the creative process and trying not to rush the team. But after so many months and repeated follow-ups, we're left feeling anxious and in the dark. We've just repeatedly been told "next week" for months and now we've reached a point that we've been entirely ghosted. We trusted Isle Media to preserve the emotional essence of a once-in-a-lifetime day -- and now we're afraid we may never get to relive it the way we had hoped. For a service of this cost and significance, this level of delay and silence is deeply disheartening. If/when our remaining photos and videos are delivered at the high-quality standard you would expect from Isle Media, I'll gladly update this review -- but as it stands, I wouldn't want another couple to go through this and therefore can't recommend their services to anyone looking for an event photographer/ videographer.

The Asato Family that owned KC Drive In found it and I immediately started looking for a local business that could digitize it. There are a number of digitization businesses on the mainland but I really didn't want to mail this treasure and risk it getting lost or damaged. I dropped it off to 808Burners. Opted to purchase a thumbdrive and have the files placed on that (vs. a DVD). Got a call a couple days later saying job was done! They saved it in two formats for me, too! I was so happy with their work that I went back later with some VHS tapes I had been meaning to digitize forever. Seriously, go and digitize your VHS tapes and cassette tapes before it is too late. They have a lovely YELP deal where you can buy a YELP voucher for $15 which is good for $30 at 808Burners. One use per visit. You can also purchase vouchers to give as a gift to someone. Located in Harbor Center, so there is ample parking. Service was professional and quick. Bonus was Ige's Aiea being located in same lot and I could go pick up food afterwards!

With the help of our amazing wedding coordinator, Karisa, we booked ARIA Studios on May 16, 2019. We were overjoyed that we got a professional photographer on such short notice and it was especially important to get these memories captured. Our wedding day came and I arrived at our venue. As soon as I stepped out of the car, Jess from ARIA Studios was there, snapping moments that I will remember for a lifetime. She was so kind and patient with my (now) husband and I (we are really not models). We loosened up with her gentle guidance and she even helped me convince my husband to get in the water for some photos. My mother's health declined quickly and so I asked for the photos of her from that day expedited, knowing full well that it might be an additional fee. I received the photos quickly and Mom was able to see them and enjoy them. Now our family will remember this day, my happiest day of my life, which I was able to share with my beautiful Mom. We have received all of our photos and Hubby and I could not be more happy with them. It's taking a lot of restraint not to be totally weird about it and print lifesize photos and put them all over the house. In any case, Hubby and I are doing a part 2 and have already booked ARIA Studios for that day (and asked for Jess specifically!). We can't wait because we know what a great job they do.
