Dave was very easy to work with and attentive to details. He was affordable and extremely flexible through multiple postponements with COVID. When taking group photos he would point out if someone had to fix a fold in their shirt, hide a mask in view or take down their sunglasses. He knows every wedding photo and stance in the book. His direction and occasionally pulling us aside to get a shot with the setting sun was much appreciated!

Dave is incredible to work with because not only is he extremely talented at photography, but his relaxed, “low-key” vibe makes you feel completely at ease. Perhaps it's because Dave is also a yoga practitioner and teacher! My husband and I are not used to getting our photos taken and were sort of nervous about looking too “staged” or unnatural in our formal wedding photos. Dave did an amazing job directing us without being too overbearing. We appreciated the guidance he provided and that he also let us do our own thing, and in the end we had a total blast taking our “formal” photos. Dave also was incredibly hardworking during our wedding ceremony and reception, running around to take photos from every angle without being obtrusive at all. Looking back at the photos, one would think we had hired two or three photographers, when really it was just Dave all on his own! We also really appreciated how quickly Dave got our photos back to us – a mere four days after the wedding! Finally, we can’t say enough good things about the “trash the dress” underwater photo shoot we did with Dave. My husband and I had so much fun playing around in the ocean, and the photos were magical and romantic. I would (and have) recommended Dave to any couple that is looking for a photographer who makes you feel completely relaxed while shooting and incredibly beautiful in photos.

I'm just going to go straight to the point.
Dave is very genuine, you can tell he loves what he does, he’s experienced and hands down just AMAZING!! He is so chill, nice, very patient, and he definitely knows what he's doing!! We had Dave for our wedding In November 2019 in Oahu, Hawaii and he also shot our engagement photos 3 days before the wedding. He was SOOO quick with sending our engagement photos. We basically got all of our shots through Dropbox to view with ease in less than and hour and a half!
The photos came out so nice!!

My husband and I felt at ease with Dave and so relaxed. He has a great sense of humor and was just so sweet!! We highly recommend him! Can't wait to see all of our photos from the big day!

If you are in Oahu, you MUST contact Dave Miyamoto for your wedding photos! We had a sunset wedding ceremony at Paradise Cove last week and he was AMAZING! Had great shot ideas on the beach, candid family pics and all around shots of the ceremony. So many compliments from family and friends on how breathtaking the photos are. Highly Recommend Dave!

My Husband and I worked with Dave for our wedding last June. He was able to find creative places to place us as well as herd together all of our friends and family. We wanted to take sunset photos on the beach during the reception and Dave was able to take the photos quickly (and beautifully) so we could get back to the party. The photos turned out wonderful! Highly recommend.

Dave was super professional and easy to work with. He did an amazing job capturing our wedding perfectly. We were extremely pleased with the photos and how easy to access online gallery. Thank you so much Dave.

Dave Miyamoto really was an amazing asset to our wedding and helped make our dreams come true. First and foremost, his photographs are absolutely beautiful and we will cherish them forever. But more that just that, he was able to conceptualize our visions and make them a reality. He was able to wrangle all of our bridesmaids and groomsmen, family, friends, etc., get them in place at the right time, and looking stunning for our groups shots. And he was kept thinking about great ideas for our solo shots. It was clear that not only is Dave an expert at this, but he loves what he does -- the love really shone out through the images. I don't think he stopped for a second the whole weekend, as it seemed like every few minutes he had a new idea for some beautiful shots.
Truthfully, we loved Dave so much we asked him to be one of our witnesses on our marriage license. If I could give Dave more than 5 stars, I would.

These days when you have an experience that is genuine and real, you're lucky and that's what we had with Dave. He was professional and personable making taking photos easy. Our photos from the shoot at Baby Makapuu are beautiful with all the shots we need to pick from for our save-the-date card. Thanks Dave for providing service with much Aloha! :)

Dave was awesome! He did such a great job at our elopement. Highly recommend him to anyone! Great guy, great photographer.

Dave was our wedding photographer, and he did an excellent job. We had a small beach side ceremony--Dave helped us with the selection of the beach--and the pictures were simply amazing! Throughout the photo shoot he helped us relax and feel comfortable. This was our first time doing a professional photoshoot so that was really helpful.

Dave is very professional and reliable. It was easy to communicate with him and plan the shoot (we live in NYC) even though we weren't based in HI. He responded quickly and was patient.

Highly recommend!!
