    IMF Visions captured the most beautiful footage and shots of our wedding. Not only did I relive our wedding all over again when they sent us all the footage but they were so beautifully edited. The day of the wedding their whole team knew exactly where to go, they politely directed people if needed to get the most amazing shots. Every single member of the IMF Visions team were so passionate about getting the best shots and they all worked nicely together to get great footage. They knew exactly what instructions to give us to get the best poses. I can't thank IMF visions enough for capturing the most important day of our lives. Thank you guys for all your hard, beautiful work! -The Cartagenas

    My fiancé received a gift card from IMF Visions for a free proposal video after purchasing my engagement ring from The Wedding Ring Shop. When he bought the ring he was told he could use it towards an engagement session. So after the proposal, I called and tried to make arrangements. I spoke to the owner and he told me that they would honor the gift card with an engagement session but to shoot him a text because he was on the road at the time and he would get back to me, so I did. Almost 3 weeks later, I followed up because I never heard back from anyone. Three days later, I received a text back apologizing and was told that they are extremely busy this time of year and the photographer just sent me a text. No text from the photographer that day and as of this post (one week later). This gift card may have been a deal they had with the Wedding Ring Shop when they were first getting started and now they don't need the exposure/business, I'm not sure. But I definitely won't hire them for any events in the future.

    Ian and team at IMF Visions are the BEST of the best! If you read nothing else, read this-- He will see and deliver the greatest story of your day! Working with him was incredible. Not only in their cinematic production, but as professionals and kind, compassionate people. Ian filmed my sister's wedding a decade ago and when I got engaged in February of 2020 he was the first vendor I booked. He is high in demand and worked with us as we moved each wedding date throughout the pandemic. He introduced me to many of the other vendors I hired (and LOVED) -- Wedding Planner 808, DJ Kurious, Party Pix Hawaii, and more. Ian filmed our Love Story and Cinematic (wedding day) Highlight, both of which were shown during our reception. He allowed me to say no to some good ideas that he presented with no pressure which is a really big deal. He understood what I was asking for and never made me feel bad for asking for what I wanted. He and Janice (Wedding Planner 808) offered and arranged a live stream for both wedding and reception. Our final edit was amazing and he truly shared all the profound, fun, and loving moments of our day! He provided us with extremely professional photographers for our engagement shoot (Jeptha) and wedding (Eugene Kam). My fellow brides...you will have the photos and videos for the rest of your life. IMF was the best choice for me and I highly recommend you hire them asap. Here is a link to our same day highlight played at our wedding reception: https://youtu.be/JPKkCfo0AWw Full Wedding Feature: https://youtu.be/Rn-w1Gn6wjo

    Ian and his team are amazing! I'm very awkward when it comes to posing and everything like that but they sure know how to instruct you so that you look flawless! They make you feel comfortable the entire time even though you know you have so many eyes on you! The same day edit they did for my wedding was so impressive as well! I had so many guests telling me how much they enjoyed it! I cannot wait to see all the other photos/videos from my wedding!

I love her to death! If you are looking to capture a special moment or just want to feel empowered, here is why Daphne is the person to call: The Boudoir Experience: Pure Confidence First off, you do not need to be a model. Daphne makes you feel beautiful regardless of what anyone else says. She is positive, patient, easy-going, and an amazing communicator. She makes the cutest comments while shooting ("You look so sexy!" or "Hold that pose, it's perfect!"), which instantly boosts your mood. The Coaching: She guides your body into specific positions. Yes, sometimes the poses feel a little "uncomfortable" in the moment, but trust me--it is worth it! When you see the results, you'll literally think, "Wait, that's me?!" She helps every woman feel confident and fall in love with their own skin. Engagement Photos: Capturing the Love For our engagement session, the weather was on our side, and Daphne's cues produced the most stunning photos. It was my husband's first time in front of a professional camera, and he was definitely a bit nervous. I was there to help him smile, but Daphne's constant "cute comments" about us as a couple really helped him settle in and made me feel wonderful. Daphne has a gift for bringing out the best in people and making the process feel natural and fun. Whether it's a gift for someone special or a treat for yourself, you won't regret booking her!

She didn't try to "salespeople" me, she just told me exactly what I wanted to know, she gave me the information I was asking for, she didn't try to upsell or charge more, or anything, she just was perfectly professional via email. Then when we got to Hawaii and we had our session, she was just a dream to work with! She was so friendly, kept us laughing, asked the teenagers to do silly things (and they complied!), she worked great with my elderly deaf parents, and she would give us pose ideas so we wouldn't have the same ole same ole pics you always see. She sent the link for the pictures a couple of days ago and I've already ordered Christmas cards, and am planning on ordering a bunch of enlargements to frame and hang on my walls. The pictures are INCREDIBLE. We are all blown away at how amazing she made us look!!

He was extremely accommodating given the weather and timing for our shoot. Now, I am not the most photogenic and feel super awkward posing behind cameras, but the poses and interactions that Sean directed us to do led to very natural, joyful moments in the photos.

The resulting pictures were phenomenal. They kept well within the timelines they told us to expect, as well. Thank you to the Jenna Lee team for making this an overall great experience.

Her approach was far from the standard "stand and smile" routine; instead, she and her team made sure every moment felt natural, joyful, and full of emotion. She took the time to understand what we wanted, and her attention to detail truly captured the essence of our wedding day. The photos are vibrant, full of life, and each one tells a beautiful story of our special day. When I was first booking, what stood out to me was that Jenna herself called me at a very odd hour because of my schedule. She was so flexible and accommodating, taking the time to chat about what she offered. That conversation was a game changer--it completely altered the way I wanted to approach our wedding day. Initially, I was hesitant about doing the first look and family photos before the ceremony, as I thought it wasn't the traditional way to do things. But Jenna shared her prior experiences, and since we wanted to be present for cocktail hour and fully enjoy the day, we decided to take her advice. It was MAGIC. When I first opened my photos, I was with my new husband, my mother-in-law, two of the groomsmen, and a bridesmaid, and we were all brought to tears with how phenomenal, powerful, and stunning the photos were. She truly captured so many important moments, and the amazing part is, it was FUN. Every photo radiated emotion and joy, and we'll cherish them forever. What also really stood out was how thoughtful and generous Jenna and her team were. The entire team was not only professional but also incredibly fun--honestly, I would be friends with every photographer there! They made the experience feel like we were surrounded by love and family, creating moments full of joy, laughter, and genuine connection. They were there when we needed them but never intrusive. Jenna and her team's responsiveness was another huge bonus--they were always quick to answer calls and texts, which helped us feel at ease throughout the process. I can't tell you how many times I was adding and subtracting hours and not once did they make me feel bad or like it was a burden. Additionally, the turnaround time for the photos was incredibly fast! We felt like we had the images in no time, and every single one exceeded our expectations. We feel INCREDIBLY lucky that Jenna was the photographer for our wedding; her team was just as phenomenal. She captured beautiful memories, kept the experience lighthearted and meaningful, and we will treasure her work FOREVER. 10/10 would recommend her! Amazing! Thank you Jenna!!!! -- Ashlie

    Long Overdue Praise for Joseph Esser and His Incredible Team…read more This review is long overdue for Joseph Esser and his phenomenal team of photographers and videographers. If you're searching for a wedding photographer and videographer in Hawaii, look no further -- Joseph and his team are truly among the best. From the very beginning, I was impressed by Joseph's professionalism, warmth, and incredible attention to detail. In the months leading up to the wedding, he collaborated closely with my amazing wedding planners, Fred and Kate, to review the timeline and ensure everything was aligned. That preparation paid off -- the entire day ran smoothly and stress-free, allowing me to fully enjoy every moment. Joseph and his team arrived punctually and were ready to capture the magic from start to finish. They didn't just take photos -- they preserved moments. Looking back at the images and videos now, I'm filled with joy reliving those memories with my husband. What truly sets Joseph apart is how much he cares. His energy and positive attitude were infectious -- he had us laughing all day, which naturally translated into joyful, candid photos full of smiles. Beyond his personality, it was his instinct and thoughtfulness that left a lasting impression. For example, during our grand reception entrance, we used a money gun that left fake bills scattered all over the dance floor. Before our first dance began, Joseph got down on his knees and cleared the floor himself -- not something you'd expect from your lead photographer, but it speaks volumes about his commitment to the perfect shot and a smooth experience. Similarly, during the ceremony, when my wedding train and cape needed adjusting, Joseph didn't hesitate or wait for a bridesmaid -- he stepped in and fixed it himself to ensure everything looked flawless. These small, meaningful actions showed just how much he truly cares about his clients and the quality of his work. Joseph and his team worked tirelessly for nine hours, and the final results were nothing short of spectacular. Every guest who's seen our photos and video has commented on how stunning they are. We also opted for a 10-minute wedding highlight video -- and I highly recommend it! The timing of the music, lyrics, and our vows were perfectly matched with the visuals. The attention to detail, from the transitions to even the placement of our names on the Cover page -- Everything was intentional, thoughtful, and beautifully executed. As someone who is very detail-oriented, I was blown away by how aligned Joseph and his team were with my vision. Their passion for what they do shines through in every frame. They don't just document a wedding -- they tell a story. Thank you, Joseph, for being such an integral part of our day and for capturing it so perfectly. You and your team are truly the best -- mahalo from the bottom of our hearts!

He and his photo/video team were so much fun, and you won't regret getting a chance to work with them! The Long Story: Our wedding planner recommended Joseph after my now-husband and I told her how photography/videography were among our top priorities for our big day. During our first call with Joseph, we immediately sensed that he'd be a great fit. He was delightful and easy to talk with, and his extensive knowledge, thoroughness, and patience in walking us through our many questions made us realize we'd be in the hands of a true professional. So after reviewing his gorgeous portfolio of wedding photography, we ended up booking a 10 hour photo/video package (which included an engagement shoot and photo booth as add-ons). Our engagement shoot (which we highly recommend doing with Joseph before your wedding day so you can get to know him and get used to being photographed) quickly solidified our opinion of him as both an excellent photographer and an awesome person overall! He woke up bright and early to meet us for sunrise and even went above and beyond by helping me find someone willing to do my hair and makeup at the last minute, which I was incredibly grateful for. The session started out with some rain, but Joseph was super chill and suggested we wait and see what happens. Sure enough, the rain clouds parted, treating us to a gorgeous sunrise. My husband and I are super awkward when it comes to photos, but Joseph made us feel so at ease with his fun, infectious personality and his thoughtful approach to directing us. Funnily enough, this engagement rain experience repeated itself on our wedding day, when a seasonably late Kona low was pouring rain all over the island during the week of the wedding and into the big day itself. Despite the gloom of both the weather and the bummed out bride (aka me), Joseph and his team brought bright, positive vibes from the get-go. They showed incredible care and flexibility given the circumstances and pivoted seamlessly when the weather prevented us from doing our first look at our originally planned location. When we were running ahead of schedule, Joseph and his main videographer, Jimi, even made sure to get extra photos/videos of us in some cool locations nearby. And when the moment of truth came for our actual wedding? Pure magic--no rain for the ceremony and a stunning sunset! Joseph and his team did an incredible job at capturing just how unique that day was, and we're grateful to have had them there by our sides throughout. Thank you, Joseph and team, for capturing such wonderful memories for us! P.S. Check out Joseph's wedding podcast, Unveiling Paradise! We were featured on Episode 69, and in that episode, Joseph does a wonderful job breaking down how photography is handled when weather threatens your big day :)
