About

who do we think we are!?

we are a spaz, an artist, a comedian, and a yesman. we'll let you decide who's who.

here's just a handful o' things...you guessed it, about us.

* words with "oo" in the middle of them make us laugh.

* we are san diego natives.

* our kid is gonna drink your milkshake.

* never let april try to tell you a story. trust us.

* we love all 3 star wars movies. that's right, there are only 3, and a cool bonus fight scene with kim's favorite character... darth maul.

* david surfs. kim gives him crap because he's a longboarder.

* rain can do awesome impressions of her grandma.

* rubios fish tacos rule!

* kim is deathly afraid of sharks but loves to watch shark week.

* we ARE ready for some football.

* april's jokes are far from 100 percent awe and then some.

* rain gives the cpu on madden beatdowns that rival a ninja's fury.

* every one of us without a Y chromosome is extremely loud.

* i don't know what we're yelling about!

* things we love...hawaii, disneyland in december, dogs, the beach, and my good friend Baxter here.

* david really does speak. we've heard him.

* april doesn't drink, but you'd never know it by the voicemails she leaves.

* rain loves to swim and her cannon ball makes freakishly large splashes.

* kim's recipe for a good movie... explosions, explosions, and car chases that end in explosions.

* our math shows that the bird is equal to or greater than the word.

* we're fluent in movie quotes and sarcasm.

* david is an olympic pocket dialer.

* fact: bears. beets. battlestar galactica.

* april was not born in april. or was she?

* rain was born while it was raining.

* we love almost every kind of music. almost.

* we haven't proven it yet, but we think kim may be a robot.

* david loves to fly. kim does not.

* rain holds the world record for number of teeth lost in one year with 83.

* if you don't love everything by disney and pixar, april will fight you.

* we think YOU are what willis was talkin' bout.

* kim has a summer home on robot pirate island.

* you wouldn't know it by looking at him, but david can run really fast.

* we still love "that's what she said" jokes.

* your destination wedding? we want to go to there.

* it is impossible to offend us. it's as if we were abandoned as babies and raised by a nomadic tribe of truckers and sailors.

* poop

David at Ohana was a pleasure to work with. Affordable cost, quality photos, worked with our location choices and even worked with difficult weather. I would recommend Ohana to all of my friends & family!

If you haven't booked them yet, BOOK THEM NOW.

We love these guys. We first saw their work when a friend of ours got engaged and had them as their photographers. We weren't even engaged yet, but we followed their blog and knew when a special ocassion comes, we would want them to document that event. Their photos were magazine quality, yet so real, and it was amazing to see how much of an eye for photos they have. We loved their work so much that we had to book them before we booked our venue. That's how good they are.

When it came to the engagement and wedding shoots, you can tell this couple are doing photography for love, not for money. Our two hour engagement session ended up being all day, as they shot and shot pictures and (camera lovers as we are) me and my now husband loved every photo they took. They can capture emotions like no other, and can tailor your pictures as you like them. For us, we wanted our photographs to reflect our personalities (enter lightsabers) and they sure turned out awesome! Our wedding at Bali Hai was captured so amazingly, and again they took extra time (didn't have to) to take pictures of us even after the wedding.

We are so happy with how our photos turned out, and we are so lucky to have Ohana document our special day! Just think of it this way, you really only want to get married this one time, and you would want to have absolutely beautiful photos to remember your special day by. If you book Ohana, not only will you not be disappointed, you would be extremely happy you did.

Ohana took many incredible photos at our wedding that are fun and spontaneous. We want to hang so many of them on our walls that we regret not having more wall space!

Ohana came highly recommended from several of my wife's coworkers who had used them in the past. Ohana was the first vender we interviewed, and we knew as soon as we left the meeting, that we had found our photographer! It was a great feeling to be able to cross an item off our long checklist. David and Kim were very professional, responsive, timely, their work product outstanding, pricing competitive, and most of all they were a blast to work with! From the onset of our engagement session, David and Kim made us feel very comfortable and relaxed doing something that we usually find uncomfortable. They were fun, energetic and had a keen eye to incorporate normally overlooked aspects of our selected photo shoot setting to create an incredibly diverse album that everyone loved, especially my wife and myself. By the time the wedding came, we knew we were in good hands (and eyes) with David and Kim. We barely noticed David and Kim (in a good way) during ceremony and reception, yet they captured everything including some of the most amazing moments from incredible angles that were absolutely STUNNING! David and Kim, "Ohana" were everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer and we would recommend them to anyone looking for the complete package in a wedding photographer. We are grateful to have selected and worked with Ohana and would not think twice about doing it again. Thank you Ohana.

Reading the rating categories, I hesitated to give all 5 stars only because I didn't want to seem contrived. But the truth is that Ohana was a wonderful choice. David and Kim were not only professional, but real people with whom we shared a special period in our lives. We cannot thank them enough.

There is so much to say about Ohana Photographers. They are very flexible, outgoing, funny, responsive, punctual and creative. They have this ability to make everyone comfortable and funny on and off camera. Our pictures came out really awesome and memorable for me and my hubby. If you want your wedding day to be fun, I highly recommend Ohana Photographers.

David and Kim were the first people my husband and I booked after we saw one picture that they had taken at my friend's wedding (yes they are that good!). It was the BEST decision we made. They are super nice and creative. My husband and I get anxious easily when we take pictures but they made it fun with their easy going personality. Everyone that saw our pictures were blown away on how AMAZING they turned out. We LOVE them and we definitely plan on calling them again for future shoots!

Who would have thought one photographer could be that much better than another. Just point and shoot...right?
Wrong! Ohana proved us way wrong. Choose Ohana, but be ready to go beyond the usual, the mundane.... be ready to take your photo session to the edge! Ohana will make you look like you are models on a photo shoot. You'll have wedding pictures that could be in a magazine. They do not settle for ordinary and neither should you. We love love love Ohana, not only because they are friendly, creative, and fun, but at the end of the day, they feel like family! Go with the best--OHANA!

We knew we wanted to go with Ohana photographers after meeting with Kim and David. They are so warm and personable that it's hard not to like them right off the bat. They responded quickly to emails and our first experience working with them on our engagement shoot was phenomenal! David had gone early to scope out good places to shoot and they were able to direct us well. My husband and I loved feeling like models for the day and the pictures turned out wonderful!
On our wedding day David and Kim had my whole wedding party laughing and having a good time. They worked well with everyone and made us feel great about how our wedding turned out. I would definitely recommend Ohana Photographers to anybody getting married! In fact they will be doing a friend's wedding this June and I look forward to seeing them there!
