Reviews With Photos

We're blown away with the photos Roy gave us. We cannot thank him enough for how he captured our day. Beyond producing incredible photos, he was flexible, communicative, and extremely knowledgeable. He took us to multiple spots at the venue and had us take unique shots. He did all of this without a shot list from us and did a great job of reading our relationship with eachother, our friends, and our families. Roy was a joy to work with. I'd hire him again for my next wedding (kidding please don't show this review to my wife)

Roy photographed a few of my friends' weddings years ago. Seeing his work then, I knew that when it was my turn to walk down the aisle, I wanted Roy to capture the moment. Not only did he capture the most beautiful shots, but he is also so kind and professional. The vibe was everything we had dreamed of and envisioned. We are definitely not the most comfortable at being in front of the camera, but Roy guided us through it and caught our authentic selves. My husband and I were absolutely blown away by Roy's work.

After 4 wedding date changes due to covid, my husband and I were so lucky to secure Roy as our photographer. We were both adamant that getting a great photographer was our top priority when budgeting and planning, especially with all of the vendor changes that came with the different dates. When it was all said and done, we both still agree that Roy was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He was so warm, calm, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we met. My husband and I aren't 100 percent comfortable being photographed, both a little awkward, but he made it so easy. Roy captured the best moments of our day- and looking at all the photos made us both laugh and cry. When we show our loved ones our photos, each and every one of them are in awe of how Roy captured not only the beauty of our venue, but the smallest details and emotion of our day. He was seriously amazing and couldn't recommend him more.

Roy did such an amazing job from our engagement shoot all the way leading up to our actual wedding day. We had some mishaps in regards to having a wedding during covid but Roy handled everything and managed our event extremely well despite the last minute changes! We are so happy to have been blessed by him and have him capture our special day! The wedding album was beautiful and he was great at making use of the venue and making us feel comfortable during our shoot. He also worked very well with our other vendors as well. I would recommend him to all my up and coming brides/grooms to be :)

One of the shots from our shoot. Everything I could have wanted and more!

We had our engagement shoot with Roy and it was incredible. I've lived in Hawaii for five years and he still managed to find the most unique places for our shoot. If anyone is awkward, it is me and my fiance but Roy definitely helped us feel comfortable and let us have fun with our shoot.

Thank you, Roy! -Sarah & Julius

During wedding planning, one of my non-negotiable items was investing in a photographer able to capture all of the small & big moments of our wedding. I'm SO glad that Roy was part of our day! Roy is the most down-to-earth, easy going person to be around. He'll definitely help take away any awkwardness you may feel being in front of the camera (that was me, for sure!). When I saw my wedding pictures for the first time, I cried; I was completely blown away by his talent. He will send you some previews a few days after your wedding, & this is good & bad... bad because you'll be wanting to see the rest!!! When the photos were ready to go, we received a perfectly packaged kit that included a hard-cover album, printed photos, & a USB with thousands of images! I definitely recommend Roy for any of your photography needs. When your special day is over, there's no need to worry; Roy's photos will bring you back!

Review R.

His photography is a MASTERPIECE OF ART that you can look at every day on your wall! I 100% recommend Roy! He was on time and very patient even though our wedding and pre-wedding day shoot was very tight schedule. RAIN OR SHINE He'll work his magic to deliver the most beautiful and romantic photos. I personally love the rain photo that looks like it's from a movie scene. His nature of calm and fun personality made us comfortable during the session. His service and photos are beyond expectation that being said It was the best money we spent on our wedding. We are super happy that we had Roy and his second shooter Trevor at our wedding! I have received so many compliments from my friends & family. We will definitely schedule a session with him in the future again for another occasion!

From the very beginning, Roy Nuesca was our first choice! We decided that if Roy wasn't available on our wedding day, we'd move our wedding day just to have him photograph our once-in-a-lifetime day...yes, he's that good! He's so easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable while doing it. His artistic style is also something to marvel at...he has an amazing eye for shots and can make anything look beautiful...even my ugly crying when my husband proposed looked amazing! He was there for our proposal, our engagement photos, AND the wedding. He captured everything more perfectly than I could have imagined. He's definitely worth every penny! P.S. You will spend most of your day getting ready, running around, and worrying about every little thing; but with Roy, you can also be sure he'll capture all those moments you missed or want to relive. You won't regret booking him!

Michelle P.

I've always loved Roy's work. I told myself if I ever get married I would want him to be my photographer. Then it happened. He was the first vendor I contacted after getting engaged. Pre-wedding communication and payments were so easy. Then the wedding day - my husband and I really enjoyed working with him. He's so sweet and made it fun for us even though it rained the entire time! Now we have our finished photos and I absolutely love them! It's artsy/classy which perfectly represents how I felt that day captured in a photo. Even the rainy photos look better than if it were a sunny day. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Once on the beach she was such a pleasure to talk to just as a human being, and made taking pictures relaxing, she did such a great job with our two year old son (making him laugh) and me being pregnant (feeling comfortable in a see-thru flowy gown). She told me the pictures could take up to 2-3 weeks before we got them, and around week 4 I text her to make sure everything was okay, and the next day she sent us the pictures. I didn't want to to rush her because I did a lot of research on photographers and her aesthetic was so beautiful and worth waiting for, but was insanely relieved that all was good and gave us the pictures close to checking in. My only feedback to anyone working with Krystal is to give her the time she needs to do her job - it's worth every penny and minute! And when she delivered the pictures they were incredible. They turned out SO GOOD! I knew they'd be good but I still have no idea how she was able to capture some of the photos she did. These are priceless memories we get to keep forever thanks to her and I'm so grateful we were able to book Krystal for a maternity photoshoot. I will be contacting Krystal again for photos in the future for all our family events from here on. We love her work and want to say thank you!

From the very beginning, Krystal was incredibly responsive, kind, patient, and accommodating. When our travel plans changed a few weeks before our session, she effortlessly adjusted our time without any issue. During the session, Krystal made us feel completely comfortable--even though we're not natural "posers" or used to professional photos. We are absolutely in love with how our pictures turned out! The quality is incredible, and my husband was especially impressed that we received so many beautiful images to choose from. If you're considering photos while visiting Hawaii or need someone to capture a special occasion, family session, or couples shoot, we highly recommend Krystal. Thank you, Krystal, for capturing our 10-year anniversary trip so beautifully!

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!

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

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. We came in not knowing what to expect, but left feeling the experience was really fun and engaging. What drew us most to this group was their editing, and they did not disappoint. 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

We were warmly greeted on arrival, and they were currently photographing another student in her class. Nikki is the owner of the business and also one of the photographers. There were two photographers present that day. They have a private dressing room where you can change into different looks. You're scheduled for a 15 minute appointment, but I appreciated that they didn't rush us and we were there for 45 minutes. Nikky was very professional as was the other photographer and they took different looks including ones in natural light and with studio lighting.
