Amazing photographer

My wife and I got married at the Royal Kona Resort in January 2020.
Our photographer was Ranae with EMotion Galleries-she was so attentive to us and the types of pictures we wanted. Ranae has so much great experience to bring to photography. If you are looking for a photographer of any kind in the Kona area I recommend Ranae!

Best photographer of all time!

Hawaii means so much to my husband and I. He grew up there and we wanted to find a photographer that could capture our big day in a cherished place. I had no idea how to go about finding the perfect photographer. Ranae was brought to my attention by my wedding planner. I am so glad we found her! Ranae was absolutely amazing to work with! She was very professional and so much fun! My young niece kept wanting to help and Ranae put her to the task! When my husband and I looked at our photos we fell in love with them! I sent a single photo to my family to preview and they immediately started telling me how amazing Ranae was. I can't recommend her enough, for all my future events in Hawaii I know I will be booking Emotion Galleries! Thank you for all your hard work Ranae! Much love from the Kobayashi family!

Above and beyond expectations

My husband and I booked Ranae through our resort for our wedding photography while we were in the planning phase. On the day of the wedding, Ranae arrived on time, and ready to work. She was great to work with and got a multitude of different shots. She did everything she could to get the perfect shot, including laying down in the grass. I absolutely can't wait to see the finished product. The couple of photos she showed us were stunning!

Ranae of Emotion galleries did the photography for our wedding and was absolutely INCREDIBLE! We originally only signed up for the base package as I was leary of using a photographer I had never met and that was just included in our wedding package, but half way through the wedding we were SO impressed that we asked her to add more which she willingly did. Our photos turned out beautiful and we have them hanging all over our house. Her creativity captured what will always be remembered as the perfect day! Thank you Ranae!

Ranae is a pleasure to work alongside. She is pleasant, genuine, & very good at what she does. She showed up an hour early and started right to work [at the last wedding we worked on together]. Highly recommended.

I highly highly recommend Ranae and Duncan of EMotion Galleries. Their pictures are beyond esquisite and there is no way that you wouldn't be overly impressed and overjoyed with their product. Ranae has such a creative vision that astonishes me everytime I see her photos. I have worked with her on dozens of occasions and each time I see her taking a shot that I haven't seen before. She is always looking for a new way to capture the moment and really involves herself with the clients. You can see the EMotion in all of her photos. Ranae goes above and beyond with her shots, editing, and client relations, providing only the best quality. My wife and I use EMotion Galleries for all of our professional pictures from my music album to my wife's maternity pictures to our baby's pictures, and we will continue to do so in the future. As I said, I highly endorse EMotion galleries and cannot adequately put into words how impressed you will be!
