We really appreciated her interest and preparation for our big day. On the day of, she was on time, professional and made us feel VERY comfortable and relaxed. During the ceremony she was very good at capturing candid moments and unlike many wedding photographers who can be overwhelming while snapping away, Crystal was undetectable. After the ceremony, she had planned locations that captured the best light and natural beauty of our location. We got our photos back within two weeks! The photos were organized and easy to view online. I would recommend Crystal for anyone looking for a talented, professional and easy going photographer. She captured the best moments of our day and we are forever grateful!

Echoing previous…read morecomments, Crystal makes you feel comfortable from clothing selection, locations, and the overall experience from start to finish. I typically do not like taking photos at all, yet had a great time during my shoot. The end result was more than I could have expected. If you had any hesitation about booking a shoot like I did, fear not, and book now!

We had the absolute best experience with Michelle in Oahu. From the moment we met her, she was so…read moreeasy to work with - calm, kind, and just someone who instantly makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera (which is not always easy). The photos turned out even better than I imagined. She didn't just capture how everything looked - she captured how it felt. The love, the little in-between moments, the natural joy of the day... it's all there. And somehow, she made the already stunning Oahu backdrop look even more beautiful. Also, shoutout to her patience because the wind was aggressively fighting my bangs the entire time, and she handled it so seamlessly without ever making it feel stressful or rushed. Genuinely couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. If you're even considering booking her - do it. The quality of her work and the experience she creates are both so, so worth it!

Michelle was super friendly, easy to work with, and made the whole process so comfortable. I love her soft, bright style of photography and our photos turned out exactly how I imagined--absolutely beautiful!

If you're in Oahu and looking for a photographer, I highly recommend Michelle!

She made me feel so comfortable and I trusted her throughout the process. Monica is beautiful inside and out and I highly recommend this experience.

I am the type of person wanting & needing to reach out to 3 - 4 companies for information/inquires for services. Same as anyone wanting services for roofing, painting, solar and AC for their home. I reached out to 2-3 photographers, I advised wanting a photo shoot at a park, no beaches, yes I know we will in Hawaii but everyone does a beach photo. First photographer didn't even respond to my online, email requests. I even called the phone number listed, left a message, no call back. Second photographer confirmed will not be a good fit for my request due to only does nature photography, so only beaches, hmmm, last I checked parks with trees is nature! Final photographer, Sky & Reef Photography -Tara Morenfeld with all the information I requested for. Reserved a Sunday morning date, Tara was on time and ready to go. Worked with the 1year old first, while baby is in a good mood! Worked with each individual ohana then entire ohana. I highly recommend Sky & Reef photography Tara Morenfeld for your next photo session! Again Tara is a professional and keeps her word on how to work the ohana!

It was a fun day and also a great way to get introduced to some local areas of Hawaii! The communication process was easy via email with generally quick replies when she was not busy. Photoshoot was booked well in advance as well! Only thing I wished was the ability to create a pinterest board with some ideas but it was no biggie! There were a lot of photos my hubs and I loved!! Some of them even better than the ideas we originally wanted! Overall it was a great experience to look back to. She was able to capture the celebration of 7 years of marriage. These photos are great to look back to and are ones we will cherish for many many years. We were also very fortunate to have been able to book a time with her in the most busy season of the year. Thank you Tara!!

We loved our maternity photos so much that we knew we had to come back and recreate them--this time with our toddler. Last month we booked her again and it truly felt like a full-circle moment for our family. She captured it perfectly all over again and she was so sweet with my toddler too - he loved her! The entire experience from first communication to photoshoot day was seamless, fun, and easy going. She also has such a great eye for detail!

Not once did it feel forced or awkward and that is evident in our photos. Loved this experience so much and we are so thankful we found Krystal.

Our spot was on the sand facing the ocean keep in mind by 7:30 it's pitch dark and you can't see ANYTHING! i expected for him to tell me hey this is not enough light these pictures will come out horribllets move in front of the hotel where there's light but nope nothing! He started taking pictures (none stop click clickclick )my first real red flag was when he asked us to do a pose which we used to do for PROM!!!!! But Ifigured maybethats his thing so I just ignored it. he gave us no guidance as how to pose where to pose or didn't bother even moving around to take different angle pictures. He stood there taking one pic after another without and communication and after 10 min he handed me a a memory stick and said bye. THIS DUDE DIDNT EVEN BOTHER TO EDIT THE PICTURES OR EVEN LOOOK AT THEM ONCE TOSEE IF HEEVEN GOT ANYTHING GOOD. When me and my finance looked at the pictures, she started crying so I knew that I'll have to redo the whole thing just so we can get some pictures for memory and for family. We ended up having to set up the whole thing all over again the following day and I could not afford another photographer since I had already paid him 300$ so we had my mother take pictures of us which came out 10x better than the bs pictures he took. I'll post the pictures here so you can be the judge. The pictures in the night were taken by him the day time pictures were by ourselves. so if you want your future wife to cry and he heart broken then go head and hire him. also when I brought it up to him. Instead of a simple sorry hedecided to blame me for his crap work.

She was communicative on the phone before our shoot, and really wanted to get a feel for what we wanted, which was sort of dynamic (family photos as well as an underwater maternity shoot). She absolutely aced it. We couldn't be happier with our photos from Heather, and Im so happy to recommend her to anyone else that wants to do photos of any capacity, Heather is prepared! She climbed into a freezing cold pool with me for over an hour, persevering to really give me what I wanted. A true artist...and the photos came out even better than I could have imagined (although, underwater maternity shoot is harder than it sounds):) Not only that, but Heather charmed my spirited 3 year old and drew her out of her shell super quick, capturing amazing smiling, laughing and general mischief from her. My husband, who is usually very critical of photos of himself is so so happy with how our shoot came out and were excited to print them. I will absolutely be hiring Heather again. These photos, and even the shoot have created lifetime memories for our family!!!

He was able to print and mount it same day! I simply cannot believe how blessed we are that Parish was able to deliver such a beautiful picture on such short notice. He even provided the perfect frame. Everyone talked about how good the photo looked and her best friend said it's exactly how she remembers her. Thank you Parish for helping us celebrate my Mom.
