Ikaika was phenomenal to work with! My family and I went to Kauai to celebrate our dad's 70th birthday, and wanted family photos of our trip together. From our initial contact, Ikaika was very professional and easy to work with via email prior to our session. With a large group of 14, we were impressed that Ikaika made the process a stress-free and enjoyable experience. We loved that he guided us on how to position our group and pose for each shot. He is incredibly talented and his work speaks for itself. We are so grateful to have these beautiful photographs to remember our time on Kauai. We HIGHLY recommend Ikaika to capture your special moments and create lasting memories, you will not be disappointed!

Ikaika is insanely talented and we had such a lovely experience with him! He was super laid back and calm, professional and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera... which was appreciated!! We added a video on last minute and we LOVED his work and finished product. We received so many compliments from family and friends about how stunning our photos and videos were. We also loved his recommendations for local vendors (our officiant was incredible and referred by him!) which we are so grateful! Ikaika made our elopement seamless, peaceful and joyous... we couldn't have had such a great day and memory without him. Highly recommend his services for ANY special occasion for you and your family.

I cannot express enough about how much Ikaika played an immense role in my wife, April and I's wedding day 11/06/24. From the moment I met him face-to-face, he was extremely calming, especially for an over-thinker like me, wondering what I seem like as an "outsider" of Hawaii coming to marry on their BEAUTIFUL Tunnels Beach. He said all the things I needed to hear before our first-look, and they were genuine. They weren't just textbook "you're doing great" lines. He was such a gentleman even when I was stressing out about my mom trying to call the shots when he was taking photos haha. I am a big proponent of sharing Love & Kindness, and I could sense a great soul when one is nearby. You will know Ikaika is amazing at his profession, as I noticed when I overheard little comments by him through the wind at the beautiful beach. I could hear him vocalizing how "ah man, that's the shot right there," or "this is perfect." When you notice things like that, you know there is passion behind that hard work. We appreciate Ikaika so much for helping us feel welcome and solidifying in artistic photos, our commitment to one another with his talent, warming vibes, and professional reassurance. Mahalo, Ikaika! With Love, Bry & April Delmendo 11/06/24

We truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our elopement. Ikaika brought such a calming energy, it felt like having a trusted friend there. He gave us space while gently guiding us when needed, and the result is a gallery of photos that are somehow even more beautiful than the day itself! We'll treasure them forever.

Ikaika was the best photographer and videographer we could have ever asked for in capturing our elopement during our 10 year anniversary in Kauai! He was communicative and patient throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions/emails with kindness. He is an extremely talented artist and truly knows how to capture the incredible beauty of natural environments in his photos. His experience working with different settings and backgrounds on the Island (especially beach & forest) is impressive. He has an active creative mind to create unique memories for each client in the moment. He taught us how to pose and gave great advice/tips, which truly helped capture the love and happiness in our beautiful photos. His attention to detail and creative style are shown in the high-quality editing process. I'm truly impressed with how beautifully everything turned out! I am so grateful we were able to book with Ikaika as a local artist. I highly recommend him for any photography, videography, or digital editing needs on the Island!

We were honored to work with Ikaika for our dream destination wedding at the 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. Our wedding day was perfect in every way and we have such warmth and fond memories from our special day that we will treasure for a lifetime! Ikaika was such a pleasure to work with. The pictures and light were absolutely stunning and everything felt authentic and natural. He made us feel completely at ease! We've looked at our photos over and over again reliving the magic of each moment. It rained quite heavily the morning of our wedding and Ikaika was able to recommend different options for locations than we had initially discussed so as not to get our attire too wet/muddy. Everything came out amazing (and perhaps even more amazing than our initial ideas)! If you're looking for a wedding photographer in Kauai, look no further -- we can't recommend Ikaika enough! Thank you, Ikaika, for capturing our day perfectly!

Ikaika was great to work with and is incredibly talented! We did a maternity shoot at tunnels beach and are so happy with the pictures we received.

Phenomenal Wedding Photographer - Beyond Our Expectations! We were lucky enough to have Ikaika as our wedding photographer, and he was nothing short of phenomenal! From the very start, Ikaika was completely in tune with our vision. His attention to detail was impeccable--he noticed things we would have never thought of and made sure every shot was picture-perfect. What truly set Ikaika apart was his ability to make us feel so comfortable and at ease. Weddings can be stressful, but with Ikaika, it felt like we were just having a great time with a friend. He kept the energy light, fun, and incredibly natural, which translated into the most genuine and beautiful photos. The pictures? STUNNING. They are everything we dreamed of and more. Ikaika captured every special moment, every smile, every tear, with such artistry and precision that we were blown away when we saw the final results. Each photo is a masterpiece that we will cherish forever. If you want a photographer who is not only talented but truly cares about making your day as special as possible, Ikaika is your guy. He exceeded all our expectations and made our wedding day unforgettable. We can't recommend him enough!

Ikaika was wonderful to work with! He was flexible with scheduling, make us feel comfortable, and captured the most amazing pictures. As a couple never professionally photographed before, we appreciated the guidance how to pose and the variety of pictures Ikaika took. Highly recommend!

We came to Kauai for our elopement and we were extremely lucky to find Ikaika. When the weather turned and we had to change our ceremony location last minute, he was so calm and made working with him seamless. Even though the weather was "rainy", the photos turned out better than we could have imagined in the short session we had with him. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a photographer that has intuition and an acute sense of his surroundings. His photographs say it all. Mahalo, Ikaika, we loved working with you!

Ikaika was the perfect choice for our engagement photoshoot! The photos turned out really great, but the entire session was also really fun thanks to Ikaika. Highly recommend him!

Ikaika is a wonderful photographer. He was very professional and knowledgeable when we asked questions. Very easy to work with! He said the pictures will be ready about 3 weeks after the shoot, and delivered as promised. And the pictures!!!

Ikaika was honest and easy to talk to via email prior to our event. In person he was a professional, calm, and creative photographer. We knew the tropical weather in Kauai would have sporadic rain but we didn't expect that much on the day of our event. Ikaika took that opportunity to find us great spots away from the rain and got us amazing family photos. When we received our photos we were very pleased with the 6K+ resolution photos with all the poses and location that he suggested. All the photos turned out really well (with the rain) thanks to Ikaika's excellent photography skills. We would highly recommend him and we will be a returning customer!
