Words cannot express how amazing Hanakapi'ai is! She was a pleasure to work with before our wedding day, very responsive and had no issues when we had to reschedule our wedding date. Then on my wedding day she was beyond incredible. The moments she captured were absolutely amazing and she went un-noticed while capturing all of these moments. When we received our photos back we were speechless. She sent sneak peek photos in less than two days, sent our full album in two weeks and we have received an overwhelming amount of compliments from guests and family that could not attend on how beautiful the images are. This was truly the greatest experience with a vendor and I would recommend anyone getting married in Kauai to choose Hanakapi'ai as your photographer.

Hanakapi’ai was amazing! She was so easy to work with and her energy was both refreshing and inspiring! My husband and I enjoyed meeting her and her husband. They do amazing work and we feel very fortunate that she was able to capture our wedding through her artistic talent.

You will not regret hiring Hanakapi’ai as your photographer! She did the photography for our wedding day- leading up to the wedding day she was very responsive and detailed and answered any questions or concerns I had. I really wanted to try out the rustic/bohemian style of photography for wedding pictures and she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure everything was just right. She sent me different variations of edits to help achieve the look I was going for and never made me feel that I was burdening her when I wanted to tweak the edits a bit more until they were perfect. She did an incredible job achieving the rustic look I was going for which goes to show her talent in being able to cater to any photography style ! I cannot wait to see the final pictures and being grateful for Hanakapi’ai that she was able to translate the emotion from our wedding day so we’ll into pictures that we will cherish forever. Also I need to mention she was almost 8 months pregnant and she was still getting on the ground lying down to capture the perfect shot!!! Crazy! Such a treasure to work with :). Hanakapi’ai, I wish you all the best with your growing family and career!

Hanakapi'ai and her husband made us have the most wonderful christian wedding we could imagine.
She took the photos, while her husband, who is a pastor performed the ceremony. From the moment we met at the location, we felt like we were among friends. It never seemed as if he just performed the ceremony like any other ceremony any day of the year, but it always felt very personal, while she took the most stunning photos. Her ideas were great and she fulfilled every wish we had and she never gave us the feeling that she was a photogapher who does this every day as a job, but it felt like she was a friend who really wanted to be there.
For us they are a very inspiring couple and we are happy that we got to meet them.

Thank you very much for the perfect ceremony and memories, Hanakapi'ai and Nathan!

We absolutely loved Hanakapi'ai! Not only are her photography skills amazing, but she is such a gem to work with as well! She is kind, prompt, professional, and she produces high-quality work! She took wedding photos for my husband and I and we can't thank her enough for capturing the sweet and memorable moments from our special day! :)

After looking through many portfolios, I had narrowed it down to three photographers. I asked a friend of mine that is a photographer to look at my choices and give me his professional opinion. Of the three, he chose Hanakapi’ai noting several things about her photography that he liked.

Hanakapi’ai was so much fun to work with. She has a great sense of humor which made the photo shoot fun and less awkward. My husband and I aren’t ones for doing the traditional posed photos. We wanted to show the fun, easy going side of who we are. She captured the vibrant colors and the natural beauty of our wedding venue. I wish I would have booked her longer to capture more of the reception/party. Hanakapi’ai also provided our sneak peak to our photos in a short time. We love our photos!

We are beyond happy that we chose Hanakapi'ai to capture our special day at The Beach House. The photos are absolutely amazing and we were so excited to see and share them with our family and friends, who expressed only positive things about the photography. We feel very fortunate to have selected her, and her and her husband were a delight and easy to work with. Thank you for all the wonderful photos, which we will cherish for years to come!

Hanakapi'ai was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding at Hanalei Bay Resort. When we got our pictures back, we were in awe of how beautiful they were. Hanakapi'ai is so very kind and supportive and a gem of a human being. Her professionalism and knowledge of the resort was exceptional and she is an amazing photographer. Both her and her husband made us feel so comfortable and we were so happy to have them as part of our special day. We could not have been more happier in working with them and our photos are beyond anything I expected.

My husband and I had our honeymoon in Kauai and decided to have a photo shoot while we were there. Hanakapi’ai was so sweet, flexible, kind, and professional. Her and her husband were so much fun to be with. We were more than pleased with our images as well.

We were most impressed with her knowledge of the island as she’s a local having grown up on the island. I was also amazed by her talent and eye for photography! The photos she took were incredible! If you need a photographer on that beautiful island, she’s the one!

Loved Hanakapi'ai! She was soo sweet and made me feel so comfortable :)
