We hired Keoni (and Mike) at Kpix Photography as our wedding photographers. Went with their two photographer, 8 hour package; both were friendly, easy going and gave great directions to make us look good. The photos came out amazing (loved the variety and candid shots)! We were shocked everything was ready within a week of our event. One of our family members even used Kpix for a family shoot. Highly recommend! read more

Keoni is an extremely professional, talented, and personable person to work with. We had a phone consultation beforehand and he accepted another call from me so I could get more input. He also recommended great vendors! On the day of, he was punctual and made my husband and I feel so comfortable, like we were meeting with a friend. He showed us the poses to do, and was super fast in his clicks so that we could get more photos with other backgrounds. Because we had a two part wedding (ceremony in Paliku Gardens and reception in Cafe Julia), timelines were tight, and he was able to get all of the shots we wanted in both locations with the perfect lighting. During the reception, I even requested a few additional spontaneous shots that he accommodated and he helped the DJ stay on schedule as well. On top of all that, the photos came back in just 2 weeks and I get so emotional every time I look at them, they captured a perfect blend of portrait, candid, and joy. I can't thank him enough for photographing our big day! read more

Keoni was recommended to my husband and I by a family member - and this was one of the best recommendations we got about our wedding!! His price was affordable for what we wanted and he got every single thing I asked for. Our theme was fairy tale/story and his editing hit the mark. His work with the natural light came out the most beautiful as shown in my wedding photos here. I could not be happier with how these came out. I felt like a princess that day and he really made us look like royalty. On top of his great skills, he was just a really nice person. He made it easy to feel more comfortable and was so kind and patient with my bossy family. He will be my recommendation to anyone who needs photos locally. read more

Friendly staff! Kpix has a great grasp of capturing intimate candids which was perfect for our setting. We can't help ourselves but say "take me back to that night" as we go through the beautifully captured moments. Thankful for their understanding of what we wanted highlighted. Good times and lots of pics of our dog lol read more

We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Keoni (and co-photographer Mike V) for our wedding! We wanted something different than the usual cookie-cutter wedding shots, and Keoni delivered in the most incredible way. His creativity blew us away. He found the most unexpected angles, used natural light in the dreamiest ways, and captured candid moments we didn't even realize were happening. Every photo tells a story, and together they feel like a beautifully crafted visual narrative of our day. And wow--the results speak for themselves. We've had so many people tell us how incredible our wedding photos turned out. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely passionate about making your vision come to life, Keoni is the one. His work is more than just photography--it's art. read more

We are so grateful to Keoni for capturing our engagement session in Hawaii. He was easy to work with, so creative, professional, fun, and the final photos blew us away. Every detail and emotion was perfectly captured. Such a wonderful experience!! The final images truly highlight both our joy and the stunning Hawaiian landscape. Highly recommend for anyone looking for timeless, high-quality photos. These photos and memories will be cherished forever! read more

Keoni and his team were INCREDIBLE. We went with their two photographer, 6 hour package with the photobooth. Both photographers were extremely professional and so much fun to work with. We have an incredible balance of posed pictures and fun candid pictures. Our wedding was at Cafe Julia, which he had worked at before and knew all of the best spots. Our wedding album is everything we ever dreamed of and then some. We cannot recommend him enough! read more

If you're searching for a photographer, look no further! The Keoni team was SOOOO brilliant to work with! We felt so comfortable and confident with the way he would pose us and encourage us throughout different settings. We also loved our separate engagement shoot we did with him that ended up being very intimate and was nice to do post-wedding as our nerves had calmed a bit. We were left with such wonderful photos. He captured all the moments we wanted for our wedding day and more! Thank you KPIXHI team! read more

Keoni was absolutely the best! We hired him for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and he knocked it put of the park both times! I literally screamed when I saw the photos because of how amazing and dreamy they are! He made me and my husband feel so at ease during the shoots and is just a super nice, down to earth guy! He also got the photos to us in a record time. We can't thank you enough, Keoni! read more

The most important thing besides talent is having the right kind of vibe around you, it will show in your photos. If funny, creative and chill is your vibe, Keoni will bring it! It was like having a friend hang with us all day and the moments he becomes inspired, they're always fun. I could talk endlessly about the gorgeous photos he took for both my engagement and wedding photos; the beautiful, romantic poses are great but what really drew me to decide on him in the first place was the energy behind his candid shots. Although we love a good photo with everyone looking at the camera with their eyes open, the ones I want to remember is when people don't notice. Time is fleeting and there's only so much I was able to capture inside my mind that I am so grateful that he was there and obviously enjoying himself as well to capture the moments that post wedding we were like "i wish someone got a picture of that!" I love how real all our photos came out and his use of lighting and editing, there wasn't a lot of "posed" moments. Although it felt like a dream, I didn't want any false notions of having a perfect wedding where every last detail was magazine worthy. It was the moments Keoni was able to capture that truly made it the best day of our lives and we wouldn't change any of it. I definitely recommend doing an engagement session with him, especially if you plan on having him do the wedding day. It's an engaging and fun hour that allows for you to understand his style and great practice for day of. read more

We are really impressed with Keoni, his "style," and the quality of his work! Hiring a photographer is one of the biggest decisions you can make when planning a wedding. We attended a wedding expo and found him there. I'm so grateful we did, because a lot of other photographers' work was sort of dark and cliché. When we happened upon Keoni's booth, we looked at his sample work, and it was the exact ascetic we wanted for our outdoor wedding: bright, happy, modern, fun and romantic! We hired him right away and worked with him up until the big day on the main things: timing of the day and the shot list. He had invaluable advice on planning our short, action-packed day. He brought up a lot of great points we hadn't thought about before and definitely was a great resource to us to ensure everything ran smoothly. On the big day, he and his assistant arrived on time and immediately got to work. I had Keoni in the bridal suite and my husband had his assistant. The photographs from both suites turned out excellent. Keoni was so patient and respectful in a room full of women getting ready. In short, he has a great way of staying calm during chaos! The best thing about him was his ability to "see" certain shots. He's definitely an artist. He also went the extra mile to ensure he got the best possible angles and lighting. He dried my soaking wet bouquet on his shirt so I could hold it, and he laid in the wet/muddy grass to get a gorgeous shot of us amongst the palm trees. Keoni was very open minded to taking a few shots that we had in mind, and was very good at recommending certain shots, too. Overall, our 850+ pictures came out fantastic, and we will cherish these memories for a lifetime. Hire Keoni and you won't be disappointed with the artistry of your photos. He definitely captures the essence, feel and theme of the day! read more

Keoni and his assistant Sean were our photographers for our wedding day, and oh my God!!! We could not be more happy! They are Soo easy and fun to work with, Keoni's energy was upbeat and showed genuine happiness for us, and Sean was very calm, always had a smile on his face. They literally helped us feel so beautiful and be more in the moment, which made all the nerves go away and we really appreciated it. We got our photos back in a month's time, which is very very quick in the wedding industry world. We are Soo Obsessed with the editing and how they all turned out. We could not have asked for a better media team! read more

We cannot thank Keoni and his team enough for capturing the beauty and magic of our wedding day! He has made the process so easy and stress free. My venue gave me a list of recommended vendors and had KPIX as one of their recommended photographer. Looking through their website and Instagram, I found KPIX work was the most suitable choice for the style we were looking for. I actually never met Keoni and his team until the day of the wedding, but he made us feel some comfortable as if it wasn't the first time we met. Keoni is so knowledgeable and experienced with wedding photography and was able to guide us through the whole process smoothly. Do not hesitate to choose Keoni as your photographer for your most important day! Their attention to detail and ability to capture special moments was beyond amazing. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and we cannot wait to share them with our family and friends. Thank you so much for everything, Keoni! read more

Keoni was recommended by our wedding coordinator, ABC. We could not have been happier with our experience! Keoni and his assistant Sean were friendly and put everyone at ease while also working efficiently to get their shots. They captured everything we wanted, including family portraits, candids, details, and romantic couple photos. I was especially happy with the candid shots that really captured the essence of each moment in a way that wasn't staged or posed. The photos are rich with color and absolutely gorgeous. The turnaround was also surprisingly fast -- we received the link to our edited photo gallery in less than a week. The gallery includes options to order physical prints or canvases. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is professional, efficient, and truly has an artist's eye for light and detail, I highly recommend hiring Keoni. read more

Keoni was an absolute joy to work with. He was very easygoing and made the process fun for everyone. We appreciated that both him and Sean made us feel very comfortable while taking pictures. The day went by smoothly without any worries. To our surprise, Keoni sent us the finished edits not even one week after the wedding! The pictures were perfect and we loved every single one of them. 100% would recommend KPix to all our friends and family! :) read more

Keoni at kpix did an amazing job at our wedding. He and his assistant Sean were awesome. They had a great vibe...super calm and friendly with our wedding party and guests. Most importantly, the photos were amazingly beautiful. They captured everything that we wanted, including really nice candids of the special moments of our day. Keoni also did really cool shots of us from afar that turned out to be really artistic. I highly recommend kpix if you are looking for a great photographer and excellent quality photos. We are really grateful for his work and so happy that we hired him to capture our special day :) read more

We booked our engagement shoot and wedding with Keoni. We didn't make an extra trip to Hawaii during our wedding planning process so we scheduled our engagement shoot 3 days before the wedding. It worked out great with us because we were able to get most of our nerves from being camera shy out of the way. Keoni is super friendly and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. Keoni wasn't intrusive on the day of the wedding and honestly was good company to have around during a high stress day. Same goes for his assistant, Mike. I didn't realize how much time gets spent with photographers on the wedding day so their personalities matter as much as their work. We got along with them so well that we think our day wouldn't have been as great without them. The pictures are beautiful and I'm so happy with how they turned out. The vibe of our wedding was perfectly captured and I feel like I'm reliving the day every time I look at them. Would definitely recommend! read more

We booked our wedding photography with Keoni and also got the photobooth add-on. He was the perfect hype man for the whole event and knew exactly what to do, where to go, and who to get. It went so fast and we had plenty of time between every part of our wedding! We got so many beautiful photos done before, during, and after the ceremony. You can tell he loves what he does and it shows in how excited he gets for good shots. He was funny and really made us comfortable during our photos (plus he's good with kids!) I'm so glad we went with KPix and recommend him to everyone! read more

Keoni was our photographer for our wedding on Oahu in October 2023. We were very happy with the photos but a lot of the moments we wanted captured were missed. I don't think our wedding coordinator provided our photo list to them. One reason for the 4 stars rather than 5 was due to the lack of direction when shooting the groom and groomsmen. Overall, I would book him again. read more

Keoni photographed our wedding and our honeymoon shoot. We were blown away by Keoni's style and the quality of his work. He is such an engaging photographer and can bring out the emotion and energy of the event he is photographing. He knows how to get right in the action and how to play with lighting and shadows to really add so much life to the photos. If you choose Keoni for your event you will not be disappointed with your photos that you will be looking back for years to enjoy. read more

Keoni is the best! He is super fun and so easy to work with. We're usually pretty camera shy/awkward, but Keoni made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera throughout the whole wedding day. He's also very creative and adventurous and the pictures came out AMAZING! There were so many pictures and they were all great quality. It will be difficult to choose which ones to use/print...they're all so beautiful! On top of all that, he also delivered all the pictures so quickly (about 2-3 weeks)! It was such a joy working with him and we are so glad we picked KPIX!! Thank you so much, Keoni! read more

We recently had a family photo session with Keoni in Oahu and couldn't be happier with our photos! We love Keoni's style and work. He had these really creative and cool ideas that got great wide shots of the beach, our family and the sunset sky. It was pretty awesome to have been surprised with those photos! We also liked that he does both styled and candid shots. He is also great and friendly with kids. He made our little daughters smile so big and laugh which gave us great smiling shots. He is also very quick and delivered all lot of photos within a week! We highly recommend him for family photos! We'll definitely be returning clients whenever we return to Oahu! read more

Long story short: Keoni is AMAZING! So happy we decided to go with him for our engagement photos. I can't stop looking at em! Long story: Keoni is an awesome photographer and person. He made an awkward situation into a fun, chill and laughable one -- and honestly one that I can't wait to do again! Our first location ended up being a dud (we needed to hike and it was a rainy/cloudy day) but he was quick to recommend another spot, which gave us some pretty amazing shots! I would whole-heartedly recommend Keoni - he's talented, laid back, and an overall cool guy to spend some time with, plus he got our photos back to us after a week. Amazing!! read more

Keoni is AWESOME! I loved having him capture all the different moments on camera for one of the most amazing and memorable days of our lives. For my now husband and I, it was super important to hire a photographer that would capture US, our story, the day, our loved ones in a way that so is US. We took engagement photos with 2 other photographers, but hired Keoni in the end because we loved his work. It is FUN yet CLASSY yet ROMANTIC. Which was exactly what we were going for. Plus, these are not just photos that remind you of the day - these are photos that will likely be framed and shared with many. What people don't tell you on your wedding day is that you'll be so nervous and it'll be hard to be present at times. For me - my mind was racing like crazy. Yet when Keoni arrived to the getting ready site, I felt that he definitely captured the mood, energy, and excitement of the day. His awesome, fun, and chill personality made me so much more relaxed as the day went on. (Wedding day of course doesn't always go to plan - but it all works out somehow!) He even got super adorable photos of the flower girls playing while getting ready. The shots from our wedding were absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I am so obsessed with them. They are quality work that I know will be memorable keepsake for our family for years to come. He definitely was able to capture all the different photos I wanted and captured the energy of the day. I highly recommend KPix for your photography needs! :) read more

Keoni is great! The photos we have really help us relive the day whenever we look at them. Easy to work with, communicative and our pictures are gorgeous! Keoni totally has an eye for what we would want to share with friends and family as keepsakes and for the gram =P. We appreciate him for taking our requests for a long shot list. Keoni was super professional while also helping us calmly get through the potential stress of getting our perfect wedding photos. He was familiar with the venues and locations and had a great process that left us super confident that we would have great photos, and the results still far surpassed our expectations. Keoni has a real artist's eye and both got all the shots we wanted and also captured so many other moments in a truly unique way that we'll cherish forever. read more

Keoni, was excellent!! His communication and turn around time was amazing! We decided to do a last minute photoshoot and reached out. He was pretty booked and busy but was able to squeeze us in before we flew back home. My kids were in a mood that day but he told us not to worry just let them be. We got the photos back and wow!! You can't even tell they were in a mood! read more

I can't say enough good things about Keoni! We found him while looking for a photographer in Hawaii to shoot maternity photos. After looking at his work online, it quickly became clear that is he truly talented at what he does and has a very unique and special style. We reached out and received a prompt, informative, and friendly response. The whole process was easy - and we trust his eye completely so we went with the wonderful shoot location that he recommended. The experience of the shoot was fantastic! We're not people that are super comfortable or feel completely natural in front of a camera, but Keoni is friendly and laid-back which really helped us feel more at ease. He was able to gently guide us into "poses" or simple actions that translated incredibly well into beautiful photos that feel natural, relaxed and candid. We couldn't be happier with the photos we received! (And the turnaround time was faster than expected!) The way Keoni is able to play with the lighting, the composition, the variety of gorgeous backdrops (in just one shoot location) is exceptional. We feel so grateful to Keoni for artfully and beautifully capturing such a special time for us. We will treasure these photos and memories for years to come! Whatever your photography needs, Keoni is your guy! You will be so happy you trusted him to capture your special moment in time. read more

We know Keoni through a friend, loved the work we had seen on his site and decided to ask him do our engagement photos. Working with Keoni was easy and enjoyable, he was very professional but laid back at the same time so we felt really comfortable. (We aren't used to taking nice pics, we are more of the hiking pic couple haha). Our engagement photos turned out great so it was a no brainer to have him do our wedding photos as well. For our wedding we did a nine hour package. He met us at our hotel and did photos of my self and my bridesmaids then my husband and his groomsmen. Our wedding took place at Kualoa Ranch, and we were just blown away at how our photos turned out. Keoni makes everything look effortless, he really has an eye for getting that perfect shot. Not only did he make us look amazing, but he really captured our special day in a unique way. We are so happy we will have these photos to treasure for years to come. We highly recommend Keoni if you're looking to capture your special day! read more

We hired Keoni for our family photos at home. As my parents get older, we wanted to camemories with them and my kids in the home I grew up in. Three generations in one photo. My parents, my kids, and me. Since we had to change our original date due to Covid, he was very accommodating to change his dates too. He really did capture the photos I wanted to encapsulate the emotions in our photos. He definitely has a different kind of eye for photos than other photographers. Hire him, you will not be disappointed. read more

Keoni is an excellent photographer. He did our engagement shoot, our elopement (after having to cancel the wedding) and, a year later, he shot our rescheduled wedding. He is super friendly, encouraging and makes you feel relaxed in front of the camera. He edited our pictures perfectly and they all came out beautifully. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Keoni was the photographer at our friend's wedding in Oahu in January and after taking a look at his work, we fell in love with his composition and his style. We decided to book an engagement shoot session with Keoni in March when we happened to be on the island again. My fiancé is really uncomfortable around a camera, so I wasn't sure how well the photos would turn out. The day we booked for our engagement session was also unfortunately cloudy and overcast, which we were kind of bummed out about. However, Keoni was amazing! Neither one of us are naturally inclined to be affectionate in public, so it was slightly awkward at first, but he was able to get both of us to relax and just be ourselves, especially my fiancé. When we needed direction, he explained things to us in a way that was easy to understand and execute. Keoni was also open to new ideas and suggestions. As someone who dabbles in photography myself, I am usually not the one in front of the camera, so it's hard to get nice photos of the two of us. Our photos turned out amazing and were absolutely gorgeous! The weather ended up working in our favor by giving us such soft lighting that accentuated the dark colors in our outfits. Working with him was really easy and we would definitely recommend it, especially for those who are camera shy. We both appreciated how flexible and easy-going he was and the quick turn around for the photos. read more

Keoni is an excellent photographer with an even greater personality! He captures moments with such vibrance and warmth of life and love and was just what we've been looking for! Modern yet classy, clean, bright, fun, and romantic! I noticed he was based mostly in Hawaii but Seattle too, which was so ideal -- since our wedding is in Seattle, and I was already visiting my husband in Hawaii! I messaged him crossing my fingers that he would be able to capture both our engagement session and wedding, and he was very timely, flexible, and so helpful! Setting up and signing the contract w him was concise and convenient. Our engagement shoot was comfortable and fun, and the photos look so natural. We had so much fun chasing the sunlight with Keoni! It was a great preface to having Keoni photograph our wedding ceremony later this year! I highly recommend Kpix photography!! read more

My husband and I were FLOORED when we received our wedding pics from Keoni. They are so stunningly gorgeous, we don't know what to do with ourselves! Every single picture he took at our 9/9/21 wedding is priceless and we are beyond happy that we chose him to be our photographer! He is a very, very nice guy and so talented and creative. I would recommend him a thousand times over with no hesitation! read more

Keoni came recommended to us by a couple of people, so we hired him for our beach wedding in Hale'iwa. First of all, he was super easy to work with, very flexible, and his prices were extremely reasonable. But price wasn't what we really cared about - we wanted to have great photos to remember our wedding, and as beautiful as the wedding was, we were shocked at how amazing the photos came out. Keoni was amazing - in just a 2 hr shoot, we couldn't narrow down our absolute favorite photos to less than 100 of them. Because of the great photography, the photos of our wedding will always look as beautiful as it felt. I'm posting a couple pictures to show how great it looked. read more

After getting engaged in 2019, I was on the search for a photographer to take our engagement & wedding photos. Now.. I'm very picky when it comes to photos & I absolutely just wanted the best. I came across Keoni's business IG "kpixhi" & liked what I seen so I read some reviews & decided to reach out to him. Besides from the quality of the photos I seen, I also read that he made a lot of couples feel comfortable during their shoot which automatically sold me even more. I'm camera shy & was worried about looking/being awkward in our photos bc of not knowing what to do. A year later, we finally took our engagement photos & I absolutely love them!! Keoni is a chill & fun guy so if you're worried about awkward photos, he's your guy! He totally captured what I envisioned our engagement photos to look like & I know he'll do the same for our wedding photos next. read more

Keoni was absolutely amazing to work with! Not only is he the nicest and coolest but he's extremely talented at what he does. We first hired Keoni to shoot our engagement photos when we were visiting Oahu looking at wedding sites. He made us feel totally comfortable, as we had never done a photoshoot before, and the photos were so beautiful we knew he was the one to shoot our wedding. Keoni and his team really made our day and made the whole experience so much fun. Communication was easy and after we felt like we had made a friend. Keoni isn't your run of the mill wedding photographer either. He has a special look to his photos and the images don't feel staged or fake. Instead they are authentic, unique to the client and absolutely beautiful. We couldn't be happier! read more

Keoni is nothing short of AMAZING. We found out about Keoni after he was recommended by a day of coordinator in Hawaii. We did our engagement shoot with him in December of 2019 and were blown away by the quality of his photos. We are from NorCal and had no clue where to get our engagement shoot photos done for a destination wedding in HI. He helped us choose a beautiful location, gave us plenty of options, and made us feel so comfortable the day of! The day of our shoot I was nervous about how incredibly windy it was and that the photos wouldn't turn out the way I wanted. When we got to the location, Keoni told us it was one of the windiest days there. Keoni rose to the challenge and snapped the most beautiful photos effortlessly. He knew how to work with unexpected weather and his keen eye actually made the wind a positive for our shoot! I was also nervous about feeling awkward in front of the camera. Keoni made everything easy, giving direction when we we needed in a way that made us laugh and feel relaxed, but also allowing us to interact naturally. It felt like a dream and the photos reflect nothing short of that. Keoni's work is of the highest quality from start to finish and we could not be happier that we chose him. What has touched us most (above and beyond his photos) is Keoni's character. He has always been great with responding timely and keeping us informed. He is flexible, understanding, and personable. He will work with budgets and unexpected wedding changes. We learned that my future husband's father in law was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and had to change the location of our wedding entirely only 6 months prior to the wedding (HI to CA). Keoni has been understanding throughout the entire process and has gone leaps and bounds to make sure he could still be present at our wedding. We could not imagine getting married without him photographing our wedding after our experience with him and feel honored that he has agreed to be a part of our special day! read more

When looking for a wedding photographer I only had two things in mind; price and quality of pictures. While researching on-line, going through portfolio after portfolio I finally found Kpix Photography. The web-site is beautiful and very professional so right away I was sure the prices would be expensive, but I loved the photographs so much I decided to look up the prices. I thought there must be some kind of mistake; beautiful pics at a resonable price? My fiance and I decided to set up an appointment with Keoni to take our engagement photos, just to see for ourselves how the pictures would turn out. I wasn't too particular about what they looked like, so long as they looked good. After a short discussion, Keoni came up with some great ideas for our shoot. He really took his time with us and took TONS of pictures. The end result almost took my breath away, somehow he knew exactly what we wanted with the limited amount of information I gave him. Our engagement pictures came out beautiful without looking too pose-y or cheesy. I would highly recommend Keoni to photograph you and your family for any special occasion. My wedding is in May 2011 and I can't wait to see the kinds of pics he takes on our special day! read more
