About

Aloha! First off I’m sure you’re wondering… Pinky?

Yes…Pinky is my real name and it’s on my driver’s license. I admit, I did not like my name growing up because I used to get teased because of it. Now I just get a kick out of the response I get when I tell people my name. Starbucks will get my name wrong and write interesting names on my cup (kiki, hiki, veiki, nikki, ricki) . I don’t mind the different name calling though..as long as you don’t call me ‘thumb’ I’ll be ok (you get it right?) ;)

Well other than the funny name, I’ve been doing photography for 5 years and based on Oahu, Hawaii. I travel to the outer islands. I grew up on Kauai so flying ‘home’ for work and seeing my family is the greatest feeling. I love capturing LOVE , capturing the moments filled with emotion and beauty. I love experiencing the day with my bride and groom and sharing it with everyone there. My priority is to provide you with once in a lifetime images that you’ll cherish forever. I’m a hopeless romantic and chances are I am hiding my tears behind my camera during your vows.

Call me at 808-954-2396 or email me at pinky@pinkyphotography.com to chat with me today! I look forward to hearing from you! - Pinky

Some fun facts about me -

- Serious bird phobia, see me freak out when they start flapping their wings

- Afraid of heights and snorkeling

- I can do Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ routine (warm up the xBox)

- Grateful for Pandora, I LOVE the 80s music

Phenomenal Experience with Pinky Photograpy

We chose Pinky Photography to shoot our wedding day photos at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach. She went above and beyond to capture amazing photos that we will cherish for a lifetime. She is extremely professional and it was so easy to work with her. Her online portal makes it simple to view/select photos. We cannot say enough good things about Pinky!

Amazing, must hire photographer!

Pinky was absolutely amazing! We wanted to invest in a great photographer because this is one of the only things you can take with you forever. She was very responsive, professional and the sweetest! We felt very comfortable with her as we were planning our destination wedding and felt even more comfortable with her on the day. She is very knowledgeable about the venue(Kualoa Ranch-Paliku Gardens) and helps you with natural poses as well. We loved our photos and cant wait to cherish them for years to come. Thank you Pinky!

Gorgeous Wedding Memories

Highly, highly recommend hiring Pinky for your wedding photography needs. I found Pinky because she is a preferred vendor at Kualoa Ranch, where my husband and I got married. After browsing through Pinky’s work on her website and Instagram (@pinkyphotographyhawaii), I was sold, and knew I wanted to hire her for our photography needs. I love the style of Pinky’s photos. We booked a package with Pinky that included an engagement photoshoot + a 7 hour day of wedding package with second shooter. The package was a great deal and we are highly satisfied with what we got out of the package. Pinky was very easy to get in contact with via email, and was also very easy to work with in person. She made us feel so comfortable. We absolutely love how all of our photos came out (engagement AND wedding), and all of our friends and family commented about how beautiful all of our photos were.

Pinky is absolutely amazing! We planned a trip to Oahu for our honeymoon, and I really wanted some amazing photographs of us, showing off the beauty of Hawaii. I did a bit of research online and came across Pinky's website - as soon as I saw it I fell in love with her work, it was JUST what I was looking for. When the time finally came for us to have our photoshoot Pinky made us both feel very relaxed (we're not really used to having our pictures taken), and she was super friendly!

I thought having the photos would be a great way to capture the essence of our honeymoon. When I come back to Hawaii I wouldn't hesitate to book Pinky for another photoshoot!

Thank you Pinky!

Pinky is an amazing photographer and my husband and I were so glad we found her. Since we were planning a wedding in Hawaii from Boston, we were really concerned with finding someone who was both talented and responsive. Pinky was all those things and more. She really made sure to capture what we were envisioning for our photos and was totally supportive through the whole planning process- she even did a Facetime meeting so we could get to know her a bit better! I'd recommend Pinky wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a professional, talented, and fun photographer.

We loved working Pinky in the lead up to the wedding as well as on the day. She was so lovely and accommodating with all of the shots we wanted and was just a pleasure to have her as part of the wedding.

Thank you for capturing my dream wedding, Pinky! If you are getting married in Hawaii, do yourself a favor and choose Pinky.

Pink was the absolute best!! She was great to communicate with, and was quick responding back to all my emails. On our wedding day she was so sweet and kind. Our pictures turned out sooo much better than I could ever have imagined. I highly recommend her to anyone!

Pinky's photos have such a sweet and soft touch to them. Having a destination wedding, it was difficult to choose a photographer, but after a few phone calls and emails, we knew Pinky was the right fit for us. She has such a relaxed and comforting style. We gave her the photos we wanted to have and she made sure we got those that day. Too, she gave us good direction on how to pose, what to do with our hands, where to look. And she is very quick! She truly does not miss a moment.

The photos (print and USB) were delivered to us in a beautiful wooden box. A great keepsake. We'd definitely recommend her.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
