I was a guest of some friends and didn't have time or transportation to solve my dilemma. I first found another photo shop nearby. The lady there had a public computer but refused to let me plug my USB drive into it and was downright rude about it. When we found Joe's shop, not only did he help transfer my pictures and solve my problem with total warmth, but what really made my vacation was when he realized one of my family members had served in WWII. He proceeded to express his deep gratitude and gave me a "final inspection" keepsake which I still have and cherish. I have such a fantastic memory of him and his shop. He truly embodied the aloha spirit. I look forward to my next visit - hopefully soon.

What drew us to the session was that the purchase of photos was completely optional, which was a huge bonus for us since we were initially unsure if we were going to keep the pictures. We are so glad we did! The photos turned out so beautiful that we decided to use them as our maternity pictures. Our photographer, Obrayan, was patient, kind, and incredibly helpful throughout the shoot. He had even researched and saved several maternity poses for us to try, which made the experience so much easier. He helped us with our posing and was open to trying new, fun shots, including some in the ocean. This is a great option for vacation, maternity, or any special occasion, and you can't beat the stunning beach location!

We chose Aloha Ever After & Timory McDonald Photography to perform our wedding at Shipwrecks Beach…read morein Kauai on 12-9-2018. Best decision ever! My wife and I decided to elope to Kauai, and after doing some research, we contacted Aloha Ever After, we first spoke to Nicolle, who was very helpful, polite & attentive to our wishes, I liked that she listened to what we had in mind and didn't try to steer us in different directions. I also liked the follow up emails and videos from Timory, Their organization made all of the planning go so smooth and easy. On the big day, the weather was a little unstable, "No panic needed", As we sat in the parking lot praying for the weather to clear, we spoke with Joel & Timory, who had several ideas for alternatives in case the rain persisted. moments later, our wishes and prayers were answered, the sky cleared enough to proceed and not only did we manage to enjoy an amazing and beautiful ceremony, complete with the traditional Hawaiin Lei swap and sand ceremony, But we felt like we were blessed with several miracles during the wedding, In the bay near our "I Do" location, Our photographer (Timory) noticed and pointed out a manta ray, which she said she had never seen in all of her years of performing weddings on that beach! when I asked at our restaurant that evening, our waiter couldn't believe it either, he stated he was born and raised there and had never seen a manta ray either! then rainbows were popping up all around us and the sky cleared to make way for an amazing sunset and many more great photos! We simply could not have made the day any more special than it was. Joel and Timory were both amazing to work with on every level. I/We will never forget our phenomenal wedding experience or the incredible people who helped us every step of the way! Thank you again to Aloha Ever After & Timory McDonald Photography for everything. We will surely recommend your company to anyone else planning the biggest and most important day of their lives.

I wanted to take pictures in the McBride Botanical Gardens. A few days before the event I received an email with instructions and "what if it rains" options. The morning of our shoot, it was raining. Timory called the gardens to make sure it was in fact raining there. Different parts of the island rain at different times. She wanted to make sure before she rescheduled. We rescheduled for a few days later. Good plan. It was a beautiful day. She arrived on time, and was flexible with our time and a second event she was working at. She was fair with our pricing as we went over our one hour agreement. The photo's arrived via email and download a few days later and they were just what I was hoping for! I would use this company again down the road. Very nice and made my kids comfortable during the photo shoot!

Thank You to Timory and Joel at "Aloha Ever After" for making our special day the most amazing…read moreexperience ever! When my wife and I decided to do a destination wedding in Hawaii, we had no clue where to start. I started out researching photographers and ministers, when I contacted Aloha Ever After and spoke with Timory, I just knew this was the right company and the right people to make our wedding the best it could be. We set our wedding date for Dec.9,2018. (I know, I unintentionally procrastinated with my review.) But our experience was phenomenal and the memory stays with us every day. Timory did an incredible job helping us with information to get the marriage license, flowers, suggested accommodations in the area and even provided great options for the ceremony. after seeing Shipwrecks Beach, we chose that as the place to start our new life. We arranged to have her partner/Husband Joel perform the ceremony and Timory on photography. They were both awesome to work with, in tune with our wishes and exceptional with assisting us the whole way. The ceremony was beautiful, we did a sand ceremony as well and all of the photos were absolutely breathtaking! One of my outstanding memories during the ceremony was Timory asking us to pause briefly to look into the ocean, there was a Manta Ray lingering just off the beach, in front of our location, she said that was a rare occurance at that beach, in fact, she said she hadn't seen that in 20 years of performing weddings at that beach, the locals at the Tidepools restaurant all concurred and didn't believe it until I showed them the photo. we chalked it up as the spirit of our lost loved ones joining our special moment. that was super cool to experience. I truly can't say enough about Aloha Ever After, The prices were more than reasonable, the help with planning was priceless, the team of Timory and Joel and the overall experience is something I'll never forget. We've returned once to revisit for our anniversary and to reflect on the memories. We hope to go again someday to renew our vows and you know my first call will be to Aloha Ever After! Thank You for a job well done!

My husband and I were just in Kauai and renewed our wedding vows, thanks to Kent at Coconut Coast!…read moreEverything was just amazing! We just received our photo CD a little less than 4 weeks after our ceremony and they are just gorgeous! Kent was very hands on from the start, when I contacted him about the vow renewal while in Kauai (to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary). Our set-up was really simple - just the two of us, a minister, lei's, bouquet and the photography (I think it was the barefoot package + additional with the bouquet). We had a few check-in calls and e-mails to finalize details and then we talked the morning of the ceremony. Kent was really great to work with, easy going and attentive. Our minister (Hawaiian Spiritual) was equally great and made the ceremony extra special. Overall, things could not have gone any better - it was a day that we'll never forget. I still can't get over how amazing the photos were. Our ceremony was at Shipwrecks beach :) I think overall as long as you give all the details to Kent and tell him what you're looking for everything will be great! He has a lot of information and takes pride in what he does, and it shows. I would highly recommend Coconut Coast Weddings!

I will keep this as brief and objective as possible. My fiance' and I (both from Minnesota)…read morecontracted with Kent Chastain in March 2011 to conduct an intimate ceremony in Kauai in September 2011. I was hesitant to trust a man with my ceremony (you just always feel that a woman will be more in touch with these things) but not wanting to be sexist, I was happy to give him a shot. Throughout the summer, we had significant difficulty receiving responses from Kent, repeatedly having to follow up via phone on emails that we had placed. He was always cordial, but never apologetic. He repeatedly forgot details of the ceremony, so much that I ensured that I kept my own file on all communications to ensure that I had proof of the messages. Again...no apologies. Friendly and very true to his Hawaiian culture, but the antithesis of professionalism. Concerned about the actual conduct, we agreed to meet with him to review logistics once we were on the island. However, we never got that far. With just 12 days to the ceremony, he had the audacity to email us and 'suggest' that we change the location of the ceremony because 'he didn't realize that we were staying at the resort that we were staying and felt that it was not convenient.' Needless to say, with no confidence of his abilities to execute our wedding the way that we wanted, we let him go with only a week to replace him. You can only IMAGINE the anxiety! Shentel at Hanalei Colony Resort stepped in and, in just two days, replaced all vendors and conducted the PERFECT ceremony for my fiance' and me. She was FLAWLESS! Not once throughout this entire experience did he apologize for his ineptitude. This man relies on the reputation of a coordination business that he has only recently assumed responsibility for. He is a photographer by trade and I would highly recommend that he relinquish his coordination hat and stick to photography.
