The best video and picture company in Hawaii!!! Kolby is awesome, as she is patient and very easy to work with. She has a great eye, and her video was the highlight of our high energy reception. Christine is her photographer, and also has an awesome eye, as our engagement photos came out great. This company is so great, I cannot tell you all the things they have done for us. You will not be disappointed with Kolby and her staff at Aria Studios.

Kolby and the crew at Aria Studios did a great job with our wedding videography. Our same day edit was AMAZING and one of the highlights of our reception. People are still talking about it to this day and I couldn't have hoped for more! The videographers are very unobtrusive and most of the time I didn't realize they were there which was a bonus. I can't wait for my DVD but I'm sure it will be great!!!

AMAZING!! Our Same Day Edit was the highlight of our reception -- Kolby and her crew went beyond their call of duty by helping us throughout our planning process -- and creating something unique and personalized for our big day. Everyone at our wedding was blown away and we're still getting comments on our video. ARIA is the best around.

We had an awful experience with Kolby from Aria Studios. We LOVED Kolby initially because she was so bubbly and nice. We also thought her work was unique and fun. So we booked her. The first incident where things went bad was a scheduled meeting to go over the details. We waited for an hour, called her phone and left messages. It turns out that she was feeling ill and fell asleep, completely neglecting to contact us. When we did meet up, she informed us of her new rule that we can't have the song we wanted for our video because she used the song for another couple's video already. We can't have the song that we want for a video that we are paying for and will have for the rest of our lives?! It was a new stipulation that was created after we booked Aria Studios and something we had no idea about. Lastly, we waited the expected 3 months for our video, which is fine, but 3 months turned into weeks and weeks more, which half the time she was very unresponsive and had one excuse after another. UNPROFESSIONAL/UNRESPONSIVE/POOR QUALITY OF SERVICE. We finally received the dvd a month and a half after it was promised. Very anxious to see all the best man speeches, bridesmaids speeches, banzais, first dance, thank yous, only to find out that the reception was not filmed. We were heartbroken to say the least. My wife was in tears. It was blamed on miscommunication, which we thought all the details were made very clear to her. On her part, she didn't confirm the timing, nor make sure that we didn't want the reception recorded, when in fact we wanted everything. All of those moments that should have been caught on tape, lost forever. Aria & Kolby took those away from us. I am writing this so that other couples will not have the same experience as we did. Yes, Kolby has done weddings and they haven't been a horror story like ours but do you really want to take that chance on that one special day? I would pay anything to have that priceless footage of our reception. Kolby and her team took that away from us.

Kolby Akamu is a master of creating artistic videography�she weaves emotion into her images like no other videographer in Hawaii. Her videos are always beautifully made and really capture the bride and groom�s day perfectly. From same day edits to love stories to wedding highlights, Kolby produces motion picture quality films that make great documentary keepsakes. The best part is that she really helped us out by customizing a package within our budget. She is one of the most professional, efficient, and thoughtful vendors I've ever met. Her videos will bring tears to your eyes.
