About

Hi-- I strive to create timeless wedding photos. I shoot weddings and family pictures on all the Hawaiian islands.

I've been living on the island for 35 years-- shooting weddings and family pictures for 20. I can give advice about all the great locations and I know most of the vendors on the island. I'd love to help you plan your event.

Prices start at $600 for the first hour and $300 per additional hour.

I try to avoid all the wedding photo trends that come and go over the years so that you can look back on your photos 40 years from now and love them even more than you did when they were taken. I'm good with people and can handle large and small weddings. I can shoot candid or pose you. Just let me know how you like it and I'll cater to you.

I'm reliable and fun. Google Adam Palmer and read all my reviews. Call or text me at 808-554-7721 and let's talk.

Aloha-- Adam

Professional & Stunning Photos - highly recommend!!!

Adam was our photographer for our wedding in Hawaii at the end of August and he is amazing!! Adam is super easygoing, kind and responsive. He made our wedding day such a breeze and was a pleasure to work with.

We just saw all the photos he took and WOW what beautiful shots! He is such a professional he knew exactly which setting and background would work best! Highly recommend hiring Adam as your photographer for your next event!

Adam was very easy going and professional. We had a destination wedding in Honolulu, Hawaii (we live in Alaska), so meeting vendors was out of the question but Adam replied quickly to emails, calls, or texts. It was like having a family friend take our photos rather than someone that we just met. Adam was there for three hours and within two weeks after the wedding, he had the photo proofs ready. They were great photos and love the moments that he captured! We would definitely recommend Adam to our friends and family.

We found Adam though our rental house's website, since he has shot other weddings at the same location. We are so happy with his work! Adam was great! We did an engagement shoot a few days before the wedding, and it was a lot of fun. On the day of the wedding he was amazing! He really knows how to capture the natural lighting and sunsets. We never once felt uncomfortable around him, and by the end of the night he was like any of our other guests! He is very easy going and laid back, and knows about a lot of great spots on the island for photography. Our photos were available online just a week after the wedding! If we ever need professional photography when we are back on the island we will definitely use him!

Adam was an amazing photographer and so easy to work with! From the beginning he was very easy to work with and helped us coordinate all the details we needed before the day of. We did a sunrise wedding, and he was there at 5:30 taking pictures before we even arrived! He worked with us picking poses and locations for our photography, and took thousands of photos for us over the few hours we worked together. He even got in the water with us so we could take underwater photos. I could not think of any way the experience could have been better! I completely recommend Adam!

We chose Adam because of his great online reviews and north shore discount, and we were so glad we did! I was so impressed with his friendly demeanor on the day - he mingled so well with our guests and was never pushy with photographs. It was really important to us that we not disappear for long chunks of time to take photos - we wanted to be present with our guests on the day. He managed that really well, and we still got great shots of just us as well as candid shots of everyone from the whole day. On top of that, our online photo album was ready for viewing in less than two weeks. Choosing vendors for a destination wedding can bring some uncertainty, but I can definitely say we made the right choice with our photographer. Thanks Adam!

Adam captured our special day and we couldn't be happier with our choice. We first met him during our engagement photo session 5 months prior to our wedding and the first thing we noticed was his passion for photography. Also with his friendly and easy going personality, he made our photo session fun and enjoyable. The turnaround time was quick and the photos came out beautiful! He did not disappoint us on our wedding day. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they liked our photographer. Of course, the photos came out beautiful.

Thank you so much Adam!

We were absolutely thrilled with the photos Adam took of our destination wedding in Honolulu. The photos turned out amazing, he surpassed all our expectations. We would highly recommend him to anyone. He was prompt with all communication and photos were delivered on time. He made us feel completely at ease through the ceremony and was very approachable with the type with shots we wanted. Adam is highly professional with all the top camera body and lenses. Thanks Adam for your great service, we live the photos.

Adam is great! I love his north shore weddings discount too! He is a really nice guy, laid back, easy to work with. He responded to all of my questions, even silly ones, so quickly and kindly from the moment I inquired about having him as a photographer all the way through choosing which pictures to get printed, etc. after the wedding. He took so many great pics and was so smiley and nice the whole time he was working. Our wedding pictures are amazing!!! There are so many good ones to choose from. Our wedding was on the beach and he captured the natural beauty/sunset so well. Thanks Adam!!!!

What can I say about Adam Palmer that hasn't already been said?

We looked and researched long and hard when trying to choose a photographer for our wedding on the windward coast of Oahu. It was difficult making a decision without actually being able to meet with anyone, being that we did not live on the island. Based on reviews, his portfolio and pricing, Adam seemed to be exactly what we were looking for. He made everything easy and was extremely laid back and easy to work with. He arrived early and left late. The pictures that he took were nothing short of amazing. The staged photos that Adam took were excellent but where he really shines is in capturing moments. The photos he took allow us to relive the memory of the great day we had celebrating our wedding with friends and family. Along with his amazing eye for photos, Adam is an all around great guy and was a fun presence to have at the wedding as well.

I strongly recommend Adam without any hesitation. My wife and I will be returning to Oahu in the future and will be making a call to Adam to take more photos when we do. Amazing quality, value and service. 100% in my book!

My husband and I strongly recommend hiring Adam as your wedding photographer. He was highly recommended by one of our friends who hired him a few years ago for her wedding, and we are so happy we heard about him!

Our experience with Adam was outstanding. From our very first contact til the big day, he was very prompt in communication (responding to emails, phone calls, etc.). On our wedding day, my husband and I felt so comfortable working with him, and when we took shots together it felt really natural (vs feeling posed). Adam is incredibly laid back, but still really professional at the same time, and obviously an experienced photographer. We truly feel that he captured all the special moments in our day - once we received our photos, we felt like we didn't even need the videographer we hired!

We also really liked that all his packages included full photo rights. Besides giving you a cd of all images, he'll upload your photos at full quality to his website. We shared the link with our friends and family and got so many compliments!

Contact Adam! :)
