    Incredible photographer

    Roy is the perfect wedding photographer. On top of capturing the wonderful moments, he was great at getting everyone comfortable, extremely patient, courteous, and great at not taking away the moment. He was also great before the big day at understanding our needs, and capturing the moments that were important to us.


    During our engagement session, and at the actual wedding, Roy knew exactly what the best shots are, leveraging our venue and days unique environments, and captured our day better than we could have imagined. We are happy to be reference for him whenever needed.

    Most talented photographer

    Out of all the vendor research we did for our wedding, finding the perfect photographer was at the very top of our list. We did extensive research on all the photographers in Hawaii. I happen to stumble upon Roy Nuesca's portfolio by chance and I immediately knew that he was THE ONE! So much that we would have changed our wedding date to ensure we could secure Roy to capture one of the most important days of our lives.

    The vibe and aesthetic matched exactly what we were envisioning. Roy is an amazing human being. From the initial conversations over email and phone, to our engagement session till the actual wedding day - he was a dream to work with. He made us, the most uncomfortable/awkward couple, feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

    We received our photos and we are so incredibly happy with them. He captured so many wonderful moments. Most importantly he captured little moments of my friends and family I didn't have time to experience during the day of.

    Hiring Roy Nuesca was one of the best decisions we have made as a couple so far :-).

    Thank you, Roy!

    As camera shy and my husband and I are, working with Roy for our wedding was completely fun and effortless! Our photos were delivered in a timely manner and we have gotten countless compliments and inquiries on them. We feel so lucky to have had Roy capture our special day!

    Book with Roy!

    If you are looking for a Hawaii wedding photographer, book with Roy! He has an incredible eye for detail and was able to capture our wedding day perfectly. We had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and Roy was extremely flexible with our continuously changing plans. Roy's talent is undeniable and we felt so comfortable taking photos with him. Thank you for everything, Roy! - Tracey + Matt

    Amazing photographer; hands down

    Roy did such an amazing job from our engagement shoot all the way leading up to our actual wedding day. We had some mishaps in regards to having a wedding during covid but Roy handled everything and managed our event extremely well despite the last minute changes! We are so happy to have been blessed by him and have him capture our special day! The wedding album was beautiful and he was great at making use of the venue and making us feel comfortable during our shoot. He also worked very well with our other vendors as well. I would recommend him to all my up and coming brides/grooms to be :)

    Photography

    Roy was very friendly and a pleasure to work with. We are amazed by his photos of our wedding day. We had to postpone our 2020 wedding and Roy was easy and accommodating during the whole process. Thank you for everything Roy!

    highly recommend!

    After coming across Roy's work during an extensive search for photographers, no one could compare to his aesthetic. He has an incredible talent for capturing the essence of people and showcasing the exquisite beauty of nature together in such a romantic way. On the day of our wedding, he was so easy to work with, we trusted him to capture what we needed, and we are so happy with the results. We received the most beautiful wedding album yesterday, and it couldn't have come at a better time (a reminder of easier times pre-shutdown!). On top of all of this, Roy is such a kind and gentle person who truly embodies the spirit of aloha. I can't recommend him enough. I'd work with him again in an instant.

    We booked with Roy. Unfortunately we had to cancel due to our son being diagnosed with cancer. Roy was kind enough to refund our deposit. Thank you.

    My Fiancé and I came to Hawaii for our engagement photos and Roy did an incredible job. Communication with him online was easy and he was very responsive to all of my questions. He even helped picked a location in Oahu that has the greenery and ocean view.

    On the day of our photo shoot it was half in the rain, but Roy still did an incredible job and no one can even notice the rain in our photos.

    Overall, Roy made us feel very comfortable throughout the shoot and I would recommend him to everyone.

    I love re-living that day through Roys photos

    Roy was wonderful, we loved his chilled out vibe on our wedding day and we had a lot of laughs with him and his second shooter. All our family and friends say that our photographs look like something out of a magazine, we are so lucky. He took so many shots I wasn't even aware he was taking, which was a lovely surprise. I would recommend him to anyone!

    Working with Roy was easy and he is very flexible, responsive, and amazingly talented. I booked our engagement photoshoot with him when I found out that he was flying in New York for a wedding. He squeezed us in to his already very tight schedule. The day of our sesssion it started as sunny, then cloudy, then rainy and windy, then it was just pouring. Words couldn’t describe how anxious I was cause the place we picked out was outdoor and 30 minutes drive from Manhattan. He worked with us even when it was raining. Roy went above and beyond with how he handled the situation. And the outcome was spectacular! I would recommend him to everyone I know!

    Roy Rocks!

    Roy is amazing. He went above and beyond to listen to our story, what our vision was and he helped make it come to life. At the last minute the weather was not playing nice and Roy was quick to provide alternative locations that were just as good if not better. Not being used to being photographed were were a little nervous, but Roy's easy going personality made it easy and a pleasure to be in front of the camera. Most importantly the end results are spectacular and are often admired by our friends as family and some of the best wedding photos they have ever seen. His photos are rich, full of life, and never come off as staged. If you are having a wedding in Hawaii, or anywhere for that matter, you need to book this man.

    Best wedding photographer

    Roy is the best!We were blown away when we first saw all our photos!!! Words can not describe how impressed we were. We absolutely loved every bit of it - the color , the angle, the story behind each and every little scene. We have been receiving countless complements on them when we show them to families and friends. We are so excited to have them printed out and hang on our walls. As that being said, we really wanted to thank Roy for his great work. It means a whole world for us and it definitely made our wedding day.

    Roy is the most gifted and passionate photographer we know

    ROY IS THE MOST GIFTED AND PASSIONATE PHOTOGRAPHER We KNOW! He was our first choice b/c we knew we wouldn't have to worry about him executing and capturing moments with his touch of creativity. We really trust him. He truly is gifted in taking shots, BUT! also in editing. We love His style in his edits. He has impeccable style, it really took us back to relive those exact moments he captured and you can tell he put in a lot of work in his edits. His pictures are very significant, epic, and breathe taking. He is humble, professional, consistent and relational. These were some of the qualities we were looking for. He certainly went above and beyond for us. Thank you Roy, you truly are an amazing photographer!

    The Best Photographer in the Wedding Game

    Roy exceeded our expectations! Having a destination wedding is difficult because you have to trust your vendors from thousands of miles away. Roy made communication very easy before our big day. He answered all questions to help ease a nervous bride's mind. He was helpful on the day of helping us take the pictures we wanted. When we got the photos back, I was in tears they were so beautiful. Thank you for making our wedding day dreams come true, Roy!

    We had a great time with Roy!

    When my partner and I started planning our wedding, the very first vendor we picked was Roy Nuesca. We were stunned by his Instagram feed, and when we spoke to him (via FaceTime, as we were planning the wedding from abroad), we got along instantly. He’s a young guy, super nice, super open. At every step of our conversation, and then during the ceremony, he listened to us, joked with us, and helped keep us at ease as he composed his shots. His assistant on the day was just as warm and friendly as him. And the photos... well, his work speaks for itself, but they were gorgeous! We had a great time with Roy!

We can't thank him enough for all that he did and for capturing such a special time in our lives, we will cherish these pictures forever! Thanks again Roy, hope to see you again!

    Outstanding Photographer. Outstanding Man. You want him by your side on your big day!

    Roy. Oh, Roy... ROY IS AN OUTSTANDING PHOTOGRAPHER!! We have dealt with many photographers in the past for various photoshoots, and Roy just knows how to not only work the camera, but the different positions couples should be, his art direction, location preferences, EVERYTHING. You can trust him! Many photographers would ask us, as a couple, what we want to do next...and it just gets awkward. Roy didn't do that. He just knew what to do and instructed us in the kindest manner because he is awesome and such a sweet guy!! You will be with your photographer for a very good amount of time for your wedding/engagement shoot, etc...trust me, you want to be with Roy to make you feel comfortable on your big day!

    Roy is the absolutely THE BEST! My husband and I had our destination wedding in Hawaii a month ago, and we were so blessed that we had Roy as our wedding photographer. Planning a wedding always is not an easy work, especially for a destination wedding, but we are so happy that Roy's fabulous works made everything worth it! I found Roy on Knot, the moment I opened his portfolio, I decided to choose Roy as my wedding photographer. He is such a talented artist and all of his photos speak for themselves. We met Roy before our wedding day to have the engagement session. He is really easy-going(both my husband and Roy love cars, sneakers and they had the topic always. lol) and fun to work with, PLUS, he is definitely super professional. (We told him we are like Chandler Bing from Friends when we take photos, but Roy made it so easy for us to feel so comfortable to pose, laugh and enjoy in the engagement session). For the wedding day, Roy and his friend were there taking all the detail photos and helping us catch all the moments of our big day. And all the photos I had received from Roy are perfect! I am thinking to have Roy do another couple session on our anniversary and I will definitely recommend Roy to my friends as their couple session, engagement and wedding photographer! Choose Roy, you won't be regrets! :D

    We had our engagement shoot with Roy and it was incredible. I've lived in Hawaii for five years and he still managed to find the most unique places for our shoot. If anyone is awkward, it is me and my fiance but Roy definitely helped us feel comfortable and let us have fun with our shoot.

    Roy was a consummate professional throughout the entire process, from booking to engagement shoot to wedding day to follow-up prints, etc. He was responsive and responsible. He was creative and understanding. Overall, we love his work and he made it super easy for us, both at our engagement shoot in California and on our wedding day in Oahu. Roy also made us very comfortable during the shoot, giving us direction when we needed it, but also encouraging us to be ourselves. Our pictures came out very natural, and we love that we had goofy photos and serious ones that captured the perfect moments in the perfect way.

    Seamless & Stunningly Creative

    Best vendor decision everrrrr!!! My only regret is not writing this review earlier (sorry Roy). ☹ We got married on O’ahu, but did all of our planning from Australia. We loved Roy’s style and creative eye after stalking his images online, and were drawn to him because his images tell a story and are artistic – not just the traditional wedding pics. At first, I was really nervous at the idea of FaceTime interviewing our potential photographers, but boy did Roy take away all those nerves within the first 30 seconds. Right from the start he was so kind, genuine and immediately made me feel at ease. When we finally met in person on our wedding day I felt an instant connection and calm around him and his assistant. They made us laugh, made us feel beautiful and captured the moments of our big day perfectly. Then, Roy knocked it out of the park when we did our “post-wedding session” a couple weeks later in Nu’uanu Valley. He was just as excited as we were to stomp through the mud & pouring rain to get unique shots in an entirely different setting. When the final photos came back, my husband and I were blown away! He captured our personalities and our guests and the entire story so well. As a bonus, Roy was a DREAM to work with when it came to communication. We had a challenging time with a lot of our vendors on this, but not him. He was always punctual with email responses and his contract/invoicing/digital download was seamless. His efficiency in this area was top notch and sooooo appreciated! We are forever grateful that we trusted Roy and chose him as our photographer. His talent has helped us freeze time, allowing us to feel the intense emotions of our wedding day for eternity. We cannot thank you enough, Roy! Mahalo!

    I've always loved Roy's work. I told myself if I ever get married I would want him to be my photographer. Then it happened. He was the first vendor I contacted after getting engaged. Pre-wedding communication and payments were so easy. Then the wedding day - my husband and I really enjoyed working with him. He's so sweet and made it fun for us even though it rained the entire time! Now we have our finished photos and I absolutely love them! It's artsy/classy which perfectly represents how I felt that day captured in a photo. Even the rainy photos look better than if it were a sunny day. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

    I'm going to put it simply: HIRE ROY.

    Having a fantastic photographer was one of the most important things to my husband and I, so we began our photography research very early on in the planning stages. We were looking for a photographer with an eye for detail, a creative and unique flare, and ultimately, someone who could capture the essence of our special day. We got all of those things and more with Roy. We were blessed to work with Roy for our engagement, and wedding photos and we still get compliments on how amazing our photos turned out. We were also blessed with a lot of rain on our wedding day, which would have worried me IF we didn't have such a seasoned, and talented photographer on our team. The images that Roy took were breathtaking and truly froze perfect moments in time. I can't rave enough about Roy-- his portfolio speaks for itself. However, if you need more convincing, please know that not only will you receive amazing and one of a kind wedding photos, you will also have the pleasure of working with someone who is highly professional, gives great direction, and goes above and beyond to ensure that when you look back at your wedding, you remember the fondest and most wonderful memories. We hit the jackpot when we found Roy Nuesca, and I will forever be thankful!
