My fiance and I got our engagement photos done by Alvarado Photography…read more I was looking online for photographers in Hawaii, and I stumbled upon their website. Their portfolio was amazing and they possess tremendous talent in their field. The Alvarados are a husband and wife team. We worked with Jess only. At first it was akward for us because my fiance and I have never taken professional photos before and did not know what to do. She put us at ease, was laid back, professional and down to earth. She showed us what to do for great poses and had great ideas for pictures. When we saw our pictures, it was awesome! The best photos and editing I have ever seen. We will definitely book her again for the wedding and look forward to working with her in the future!

He guided us through posing and made everything feel natural and fun. We were also amazed at how quickly we received our photos - we had them back before we even made it home! And every single one is absolutely beautiful. We are so thankful to have had so many gorgeous photos to choose from to display in our home and to remember such a special time together. Thank you for capturing our beautiful trio so perfectly. These photos will always remind us of our amazing time in Oahu, and we couldn't recommend him more! Mahalo, Radek

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.

Dream FX Media was quite literally a DREAM to work with. From start to finish, Nicole and Rob and…read moretheir entire team presented with professional yet personable and made myself, my now husband, and our entire family and friends so comfortable in front of the camera. From the start, Nicole was amazing. So friendly and quick to respond to my many questions. She made the process of booking with them so easy. Their pricing is also extremely reasonable for what you get. What I liked the most was their bundles- for reference my husband and I purchased the diamond package which came with both photography and videography. We also purchased their love story video, which is a 5 minute video to tell the story of how we met, and where we are today with wedding planning. The love story video experience was awesome. It was my and my husband's first time being in front of a videographer, but Rob made us feel so relaxed. We ended up doing two different shoots because I felt the first shoot didn't match the overall vibe of the wedding (which was on US not Dream FX Media), I also felt that I wanted to prioritize different angles (since I'm a bit self conscious) and have the video be shorter (originally the first video was about 8ish minutes long). And yes, this sounds like a lot of requests, because it was. And I knew that, yet Nicole and Rob didn't make us feel that way at all. They were so accommodating, understanding, and never made me feel bad for wanting to reshoot it. The second shoot, was literally perfect. It captured the vibe we wanted (elegant and romantic), and was the perfect length (5 minutes long). They were also open to editing certain parts of the video based on my requests which made the whole process so easy for us. Nicole and Rob truly made us feel like they cared about us and how we felt about the final product. During our wedding, we were so happy with their team. They were all kind and friendly. Nicole even helped me when I had a dress incident which is totally not part of their job description! But that's the type of people they are- willing to go above and beyond for their clients. We truly could not have been happier with Dream FX Media. They also sent us our sneak peek photos literally the day after the wedding, and sent us our highlight/instagram videos AND 600+ edited photos within one month! When I chatgpt'd how long it would take, it said on average 3-6 months. When I tell you Dream FX Media was working overtime, they were (sorry Nicole and Rob). But the videos came out BEAUTIFUL. And the photos were magical. I can't explain it, but both the highlight video and photos just brought me back to the day of my wedding and ALL of the feelings I felt. They captured the entire day- getting ready, our private vows, pre-photos with my family and bridal party, the ceremony, the reception- I mean everything, and looking at it all truly took me back to every moment. It was SOOO worth it. Yes, photography and videography can be pricey, but Dream FX Media are literal artists. If you want a photography/videography team that is professional, personable, kind, understanding, and willing to go above and beyond- this is the team you want. If you want photos and videos to bring you to tears and bring you back to the exact moment you got married, this is the team you want. Thank you, Nicole, Rob, and team. You truly made our wedding so special and we can't thank you enough! We will see you at our vow renewal in the future!

We did a family Christmas photo shoot, and they truly knocked it out of the park. From start to finish, they made the entire process feel effortless and comfortable. One of them captured beautiful candid moments while the other guided us with posing and direction, which helped so much. We never felt awkward or lost. It was the perfect balance of natural and polished. They were incredibly patient with our little one and somehow managed to capture the sweetest, most genuine moments. Nothing felt forced. It felt warm, authentic, and completely "us." The photos turned out absolutely stunning. The lighting, the details, the emotion in every shot -- just perfect.
