It came out so much better then we could of imagined. We got them in a timely fashion and they made sure that we got all the poses we wanted. We got all the photos on a dropbox link which i felt was better then a USB because you won't ever lose it and it made it easier to access. They even brought a drone!

Jeptha was one of the best choices we made for our wedding! We chose to hire him as our…read morephotographer after he was referred to us by our videographer. We contacted him by phone call and explained that due to the Coronavirus, we had to change our entire wedding plans for our family and friends safety. He was touched by our circumstances and was kind enough to be willing to work around our budget. That act of kindness made us appreciate him. However, what made us appreciate him even more was his willingness to go beyond what was expected from him. On the day of our wedding, he was very enthusiastic and friendly. He got along very well with all of our family, friends, and guest. Jeptha was very respectful of our church wedding ceremony and managed to get even my dad who barely smiles, to cheese bigger than I've ever seen. He captured all the beautiful, heartful moments along with the happy and good times in both the ceremony and reception. He has a fantastic eye for beautiful shots, like the end photos we took in the middle of the road in Chinatown. His photos are unique and he has a signature way to stand out among the sea of photographers that exist today. He was so easy to work with and we couldn't be much happier to have had him be a part of our memorable wedding celebration. We give him so much credit for all the work he does. One last thing, - our wedding was 2/26 from 2pm-8pm and we received a link to all of our pictures the morning of 2/28. Talk about being fast with the turnaround!!! We were so impressed with his mastery that we did not hesitate to share the photos with all of our family and friends. I highly recommend Jeptha for all of your photography needs! Truly an expert and professional at his craft!

I am so disappointed. He was very nice in person but lack of commitment and professionalism. If you are going to hire him, please be careful. I will hire him again or recommend to anyone.

My wife and I had a destination wedding in Oahu last month and photography was on the top of our…read morelist! We interviewed and looked through portfolios of almost all photographers on that island we could find on the web. We saw many photographers, even pricey ones, with cheesy pictures taken in unnatural angles. We really like Jose's pictures because the poses were natural and original, taken in posed and candid forms. The colors were also very vibrant. We were VERY happy with the pictures that Jose captured from our wedding. We were also very appreciative of his quick turn-around time. He is a great person to work with and we would definitely recommend him.

Let me tell you, he worked HARD for these pictures! With two wriggling, not-so-cooperative babies he was so patient and had a great sense of humor. I am still shocked that anything came out at all! But he has a great eye and apparently an amazingly quick trigger finger to snap something between tantrums and make it not just usable, but a wonderful family photo to share. We love you Jose, and (maybe unfortunately for you, for the next few years anyway) will keep hiring you!

He's calm and gives pointers for poses, because I know we're awkward sometimes. HAHA He also gives great suggestions for locations since we aren't local to Hawaii. He asks for your preferred style and backgrounds and will base it off that. If you have certain poses or photos you want, let him know! His turnaround time is also great. Our last photoshoot included my extended family and he was able to get so many great shots quickly without feeling rushed. My family were also impressed and asked for all sorts of photos, and he handled them all very well. Posing photos are great but I love candid ones that he captures of our kids. They're the ones that always come out the best. I highly recommend Jason to all my friends and family if they are in Waikiki. Thanks Jason!

Jason and assistant Mitch photographed our wedding at Ko'olau Ballrooms…read more This was both my partner's and my first time being professionally photographed. We're not models--we're not really familiar with angles, posing, etc. I found Jason on a whim while browsing tagged wedding vendors on Instagram. I knew that I wanted photography that was moody (not overexposed/bright) and had natural posing direction (not every shot smiling to camera but not posing direction that felt overdone). While browsing Jason's website portfolio and his IG, I actually got a bit teary-eyed because of how beautiful his shots were. He and his team have a great eye for shot composition as well as capturing genuine emotion. I also love that the photos have a film-like quality to them. Since my bridesmaids and I had to get ready in town in a relatively small hotel room at 6am before driving over to the windward side, I decided to just have photography start at the ceremony site (rather than having getting ready photos). It was also my first time getting hair and makeup professionally done so it ended up being nice to have some "private" time rather than feeling internal pressure to be "on"/camera ready from 6am. Jason and Mitch were great to work with on the day of and made sure that we felt comfortable throughout the day. Mitch was great at assisting me with holding my bouquet (for photos but also so I could eat/get some sips of water) as well as gathering/laying out my wedding dress train. If this is your first time getting photographed, definitely make sure to practice pausing/holding poses during key moments of your ceremony and reception (like your first kiss, hugging parents, etc.) for five seconds so that the photographers have enough time to capture the moment! It might feel awkward but your guests won't notice and photos are forever!
