They were also unbelievably prompt with editing and releasing our photos -- we could not believe how quickly everything was completed! Radek was wonderful throughout the entire process. He gave great direction during the shoot to make sure the photos turned out amazing while still feeling natural and comfortable. His knowledge of the area was also so helpful, and he helped us choose the perfect location for our ceremony. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. They captured not only us, but also our family, the emotions of the ceremony, and all of the little moments that made the day unforgetable. We are forever grateful for the memories they captured and the effort and care they put into everything for us. Great communication, beautiful work, and an all-around wonderful experience. You truly cannot go wrong with them. Highly recommend!

The team provided suggestions on where I should consider proposing after we had a call about my vision. The day of was executed to perfection, Radek was there on time with the set up I chose and was texting me throughout the day leading up to the evening proposal. Since it was a surprise, we ran 10-15minutes late and I clearly recall Radek moving with speed and intention. He positioned us quickly so he was able to get the sunset and the beauty of the Hawaiian backdrop. Radek didn't miss a beat and had a smile the entire time, making us feel comfortable all the way through. If you want to work with a professional, look no further. Thank you again to the Right Frame Photography team!

From the very beginning, Rachel Robertson and her team were kind, professional, and genuinely understanding of what I needed. Communication was seamless, and she made the entire process feel stress-free despite the distance. My photos turned out absolutely stunning...better than I could have ever imagined! Rachel captured every moment with such artistry and care, from the big emotional highlights to the small details I didn't even realize she was noticing. At one point, she even discreetly noticed one of my groomsmen had his zipper down before a group photo. She quietly asked him to fix it, and that photo ended up being one of my favorites. Beyond her talent behind the camera, Rachel was such a wonderful presence to have on my wedding day. When my maid of honor was struggling with my bustle, Rachel didn't hesitate to get down on her knees and fix it herself. That moment really showed me she was more than just a photographer, she was an invaluable part of my day. If you're looking for someone who is not only incredibly skilled but also thoughtful, supportive, and willing to go above and beyond, I cannot recommend Rachel Robertson Photography enough. She helped make my wedding day truly unforgettable. Thank you Rachel!

I looked at dozens of photographers and Rachel's posing, beautiful lighting and natural editing techniques caught my eye! Her images were gorgeous. I reached out and she was very quick to reply and was able to work with our travel schedule. Her communication was outstanding all throughout the process! The weather was a little crazy the evening of our shoot. But Rachel remained calm, cheerful and confident and was able to quickly get some great shots in case it started raining. My daughter had chosen a mountain location. When we finished there, Rachel said she knew of another great location at a beach just down the road and was willing to continue the shoot. So she got some stunning shots there too! We thought it might be a couple of weeks before getting our photos sent to us but they were done within a couple of days. They were gorgeous! We couldn't be happier with how they turns out and I'd highly recommend anyone staying in Oahu to use her!

I honestly cannot believe I haven't written a review for Daphne yet! I've hired her for both a…read moreboudoir session and an engagement photoshoot, and she is truly incredible at what she does. 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!

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!!

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!

TL;DR: Joseph is a wonderful person and a stellar…read morephotographer with an eye for capturing the essence of his couples and the true magic of the day! 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 :)

From the moment I…read morearrived, getting my hair and makeup done by Rosie, I felt completely taken care of Rosie was so warm, friendly, and talented it really set the tone for the entire shoot. When it came time to work with JP, he was the perfect balance of professional and personable. He created such a comfortable, safe space and knew exactly how to guide me in a way that made me feel 100% confident in my body. What started as a simple clothed shoot naturally evolved into an implied nude session and I never once felt anything but empowered and supported. If you've ever thought about doing something like this, don't hesitate! This is an experience you won't regret. I can honestly say it's more than just a photo shoot; it's a confidence boost, a moment of self-love and a chance to see yourself in a whole new light. Fair warning... you'll probably want to book another session just to feel that magic all over again and capture even more stunning photos!

From the beginning to the end, this was an amazingly unforgettable experience. I was in contact…read morewith JP back in March regarding my interest in a Boudoir session, on the beaches of HI in October. Coming from VA, I was unsure what to expect in HI, much less a boudoir session as this was my first one. JP made this experience so simple and easy. He established boundaries, asked my insecurities, and helped me decide on which outfits to bring (I had so many options and no idea where to start). He worked with my schedule being that I was on vacation and communicated very well. His wife Rosie was a total sweetheart. She took her time and really showed passion in her work. After hair and makeup were completed, she did a whole videoed reveal with me. It was a total celebration! Rosie really made me look like a complete goddess with hair and makeup! JP showed me a few different locations as to where we could go being I wasn't familiar with the area and ultimately left the decision up to me as to what I liked best. During the photo shoot, he was incredibly respectful and professional. He communicated every step of the way and gave clear concise directions on what to do and how to pose. He knew exactly what he was doing. JP and Rosie were so welcoming. The photos received were absolutely beautiful! I never thought I could look so stunning. The pictures are a total confidence booster and I cannot wait to complete an album for my husband. If you are unsure on booking a session, just do it!! You will not regret it! If I ever take another trip to Hawaii, I will for sure be reaching out again. Thank you so much, JP and Rosie, for the most welcoming and incredible experience. You both were so wonderful to work with and I am forever grateful for this experience.

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.

We are beyond thrilled that we had Jenna Lee & her tribe for our wedding day! From start to finish,…read moreshe made the entire experience fun, engaging, and stress-free. 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
