Where do you seek a professional photographer in Oahu to celebrate my fabulous birthday (half-century old)? Yelp, of course! It's one of the best inventions when looking for incredible services and an opportunity to support businesses. Traveling from California, I had plenty of choices of photographers. I ultimately scored! Reading his 5-star reviews and checking out the gallery of pictures he has taken absolutely won me over. William Weaver is his name! He knows stellar locations and has highly skilled photo techniques. William is easy to work with and took many pictures of my family's desires. He is professional and has reasonable price packages. I love the photo of the background of a couple and how the water flowed on the beach and wanted to take my family photos there too. We communicated through messages on Yelp and agreed to meet on a Sunday at North Shore before sunset ( 6:10pm). William responded promptly, met us on time, and was super patient with my 4 rebunctions boys. Did I tell you he could read the waves and how big they would crash onto the rocks when the photo was taken since he also surfs? He has a talented eye, and I would certainly use him again in future photoshoots! read more

Will was beyond awesome! I proposed to my fiancé on Oahu the day after Christmas and was in touch with him weeks before to make sure the moment and place we chose was exactly what I wanted. Will went beyond just being there to take photographs of one of the most important few minutes of my adult life. He was super responsive and encouraging during a nervous time for me Haha Will's eye for getting the perfect photographs as I popped the question and afterwards were just incredible. I would recommend anyone to use William for any of their photography needs in Hawaii. Mahalo my friend! read more

Will Weaver was such a great photographer! He's very laid back (which is a nice change from the fast and frantic pace here in the states) but a consummate professional. He met us at our hotel and was patient while we were trying to find our way to him. Once there he was incredibly efficient at taking images... (I've had sessions where it seems to drag on forever!). After we left he immediately sent us some "sneak-peeks" while he continued to edit the remainder of the photos. Apart from all of this he was affordable! Probably the cheapest expensive throughout our entire time in the island. We would definitely go to him again and refer =him to others at any available opportunity. read more

We had a fantastic sunset photo session at Ko Olina. We were celebrating our 45th Anniversary. William knows exactly what poses, where and how to take the photos on the beach during the sunset hour. The pictures were amazing. We got about 50 high quality digital photographs at a very reasonable price. Also he was able to come out on only a few days notice. We would highly recommend his services read more

William Weaver Photography - Session Photography Near Me

I was looking for a photographer in April 2018 while in Oahu and used Yelp for recommendations. Will Weaver was the first to contact me and offered a great deal for my family of 17 and individual portrait for my 60th birthday. He managed many individual & group shots without the stress of us all. He was personable, friendly and did a great job. We love the location he recommended and pictures he took that will hold an everlasting memory, especially for the 10 grandkids, from our island roots. Recently in July 2019, I came back with my sister and my great niece. I called on Will to take my great niece's Senior portrait. WOW, again the location and the pics he took... she's beautiful in the island setting we love. read more

Best possible photographer and proposal planner. William helped me to propose to my wife on December 15th. He set up a cute decoration based on my preference. We got the video and photoshots from the surprise and high quality edited images afterwards. I was so nervous about the process, but he reassured me in the best possible way that I'm in good hands! I also want to add that he was fair in the pricing of our package too. Mahalo in every language William! I just share some of the pictures even without the edits. (I don't have the edited ones on my phone but they are still amazing). read more

Planned a visit to O'ahu to celebrate my husbands 59th birthday, our 25th wedding anniversary and our first visit to the Islands as a family. A friend gave me the idea to make sure that this trip was remembered by looking for a professional photographer. I reached out to about 5 different photographers and was so pleased that I had selected William. I reserved the time slot about 3-4 months prior to the trip. Once we were there, he suggested the lagoon since he was familiar with the island and it was beautiful. When we were done, within 15-20 minutes I had a "sampling" of about 8-10 of the photos we took. If you're on O'ahu and want to commemorate your trip with professional photos, please check William out! You won't be disappointed! read more

William Weaver Photography - Sunset in Ko Olina. - Session Photography Near Me

Will took my proposal photos. He was very friendly and the photos looked amazing. I would highly recommend Will because he worked with my fiancé to hide so I would not know he was there. I honestly did not see Will until after the proposal so he was able to capture my genuine reaction. He also captured the amazing background just to make that special moment even more magical. After the engagement we took some more photos in the beach which I will be using for my wedding invites! read more

We scheduled this one day before the shoot. He was accommodating and flexible. Will responded promptly to our yelp message. During the shoot he was friendly and engaged with the kids.

Your photos are awesome and we are very happy to have these. We will contact him again for another occasion. read more

We were in Oahu a few weeks ago and we booked William for a family photoshoot. We have an almost 3 year old so of course it isn't easy getting nice pictures with a little guy but William was able to capture many candid shots of us just hanging out on the beach with our son, and also some where our son is actually smiling at the camera! The session was about an hour long which is great cuz you don't get drained, and Will chose an amazing location based on what I communicated to him I wanted. We love all our photos and working with Will was so easy, thank you again! read more

Very professional and punctual. Will was able to accommodate our family on short notice. Pictures came out great! Highly recommended.

Will did a fantastic photo shoot for my family this past December. He was extremely accommodating when our original location fell through, and was patient waiting to get the perfect shot of my somewhat unpredictable three-month-old. The pictures of little James turned out amazing, and Will got some truly incredible shots of the sunset and waves in the backdrop of our family portraits. He was also fast to provide same day edits as well as full files in about a week. If you are looking for someone to capture beautiful pictures of your memories in Hawaii, you won't go wrong with Will! read more

The best of the best! Will made our picture session a breeze from the booking to the session! We had 3 kids 7,4, and 8 months and he was so patient and got great shots of each of them while allowing them to have fun! We showed up to the first beach and there must have been a wedding because it was super busy, Will took us down the road to a beach that we practically had to ourselves and got gorgeous sunset pictures with no people in the background! He sent sneak peak shots right after the shoot and they were amazing!! 10 out of 10 would recommend!! Can't wait to come back next year and have more pictures taken! read more

I could not be more thrilled with our photography session, with Will and with the quality of our pictures! Will was great with communication before hand and I loved the samples of his work. He gave us options of sites and was very pleasant to work with. Will was open to our suggestions of pictures we wanted but also had great ideas himself. He took the time to get that perfect shot with the waves. Our little boy is shy, but Will brought out plenty of smiles, made him comfortable and our son even asked to have a few more of him taken after we were done which Will willingly agreed even though he was packed up. The pictures were amazing quality and we had so much fun with our session. I did check out many (many!) photographers and he stood out as our top choice and after just seeing ours I know we chose the best photographer! I would highly recommend Will! read more

Will was great photographer for our family photo while we were in Oahu.

We travel to Oahu every year for the holidays and reached out to Will to take our family photos again this year. So happy that this is our new tradition. This is our second time using Will and we just love working with him. He's quick to respond, easy to work with and very patient with our entire group (8+) including an 18 month old. We had a bit of rain to work with this year but since this was the only date that the entire family was there we had to go with it. Will was still willing to shoot us in the rain and we even got a glimpse of the sunset at the very end - where we all ran back to the beach to get another shot (Will's suggestion). We got all of our pics when we got back home and just LOVE them. Once again, they exceeded our expectations. Thanks Will for capturing these moments for us. Can't wait to put another book together with these shots. We will always remember this shoot in the rain. Thanks for being such a trooper. We had a blast. read more

Recently we had the pleasure of having Will photograph my son's first birthday party and big group family portrait at Moanalua Gardens. He had the best pricing but definitely not at the expense of quality. In fact, he took stunning pictures of my baby in less than ideal conditions (baby was fussy, we were running late, it was raining, etc.). Somehow he still managed to take pictures of him smiling and having a good time! He was so pleasant and calm and was able to put us at ease so it showed in the pictures. He responds to messages within seconds and also sends a preview of your photos within a day or less. I highly recommend Will to anyone looking for a great photographer and will definitely book him again in the future! read more
