Photos with Stunning Color!

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Erin from Erin Kaiulani Photo as our wedding photographer. From start to finish, she left us in awe with her remarkable talent and dedication.

Choosing Erin as our photographer was an easy decision, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. What initially drew us to Erin was her unique ability to capture the vibrant colors in her photographs. We wanted our special day to be a burst of color and emotion, and Erin's work was the perfect match for our vision. Her photos are a testament to her skill, always vibrant and never washed out.

One of the standout qualities of Erin is her seamless collaboration with her second photographer as well as our videographer. They worked together as a team, ensuring that every moment was captured beautifully in both photos and videos. This synchronized effort made our day even more special.

Within just 24 hours after the wedding, Erin surprised us with a "sneak peek" of our wedding day photos, allowing us to share the magic with our friends and family on social media. It was a wonderful touch and a testament to her efficiency.

When we received the full set of wedding photos, we were once again blown away. Erin's work is exceptional, and every photo felt like a cherished memory. Her online gallery was incredibly easy to navigate, which made the entire process stress-free. We particularly loved how the gallery was separated into sections, making it effortless to relive every moment of our special day.

We can't express how grateful we are that Erin was the one behind the camera on our wedding day. Her work speaks volumes, and we'll treasure these photos forever. Erin, you've truly given us a priceless gift, and we can't thank you enough.

Erin captured our day perfectly!

Erin's photographs are seriously unbelievable. She's also such a pleasant, easy, comfortable photographer to work with.

We used her for our wedding, because we loved the bright, rich colors in her portfolio. I feel like I need to look at our photos another 10 times before I can get my head around them. Every photo seems suffused with love and joy. The colors! The light! Erin, thank you so much for helping us relive a truly magical day. Joe says he’s absolutely thrilled. We cannot thank you enough.

Erin was the perfect choice for me!

Erin did a phenomenal job on our engagement session, wedding, and album! She even wrote a beautiful blog on us. She is reasonably priced and such a loving individual. We felt comfortable with her and trusted her immensely. Now I get compliments on our photos and immediately think of her. I would 1000% recommend her!

The Brightest and Best!

Erin handled my engagement photos and was my photographer I planned on using for my original wedding date. When I had to reschedule, she was unfortunately booked for my new date, but allowed me to put my deposit toward another event of my choosing - which I applied towards my rehearsal dinner and welcome event. She has such a keen eye for the right locations to shoot, is so incredibly friendly and inviting, and captures the most beautiful candid moments. Her style is bright and warm, and the palette was exactly what I was looking for. Highly highly recommend this talented woman!

Beautiful!!!!!

Where to begin?! We are so glad we chose Erin as our photographer! We found her through Instagram and were captivated by all of her bright and vibrant colors, and we loved the the tropical feel in all of her photos. During our first meeting, Erin was so friendly and knowledgeable, and she answered all of our questions (we had a lot!).

After booking Erin, she was extremely quick to responding to any and all emails we sent her! Her communication was fantastic, and she was always prompt at answering any additional planning questions we had throughout the planning process for both our engagement photoshoot and our wedding day! During our engagement photoshoot, Erin knew how to find all the best spots for photos, and despite how awkward we felt being our first time doing a shoot, Erin definitely made us feel more comfortable! She sent the sneak peaks in 48 hours as promised, and they turned out BEAUTIFULLY! We loved them all!

On our wedding day, Erin was very professional and on time. We knew we had an extremely tight timeline, and Erin was able to work so diligently to quickly get all the great shots in such a short amount of time. I was a little nervous because since we did have such a short amount of time, I wasn't sure if we'd get enough good shots. But boy did she deliver!!!!!!! She sent us 150 sneak peaks (because they were THAT awesome) and they were all BEAUTIFUL!!!! Not to mention she delivered them in the 48 hour timeline as promised!!!! We absolutely loved them, and so did all of our friends and family. I cannot thank Erin enough for the beautiful work that she did to capture the most important day of our lives! If anyone is looking for a wedding photographer, I would definitely recommend Erin!

15 Stars! The best photographer, highly recommended!

Erin herself and her photography results are amazing! Due to Covid my wife and I decided to elope making these photos quite literally “our wedding” in a lot of ways. The weight of what these photos meant to us was huge. On top of that we are awkward picture takers. Erin had her work cut out for her! As beautiful as the pictures turned out it was the actual experience Erin provides that makes her the best. It truly felt like we were on a date the way she made us laugh at each other and have true emotions as she shot photos. She took awkward photo takers to America’s next top models with a couple fun questions! ;) we had so much fun. I will forever be grateful to Erin for how special it was to use these absolutely PERFECT photos to announce our marriage with. Because of her service and photos we were able to take the sadness of not having a ceremony to excitement for our big day and announcement!! Hands down go with Erin if you are in debate you will not regret it!

Erin is Simply the Best

From the moment I first had my phone consultation with Erin, I knew we would be in good hands for our wedding photography. Erin was very personable and took the time to understand our vision. She is in communication fairly often prior to the wedding which I enjoyed – from guides to engagement photography, what to expect on the wedding day, a personality quiz she kept us in the loop while being able to gather all the information she needed to prepare for our big day. Erin has a keen eye for details and knows how to put people at ease so they look natural in the photos. She was professional from start to finish. Both our engagement photos and our wedding photos are amazing; we are so blessed that we hired Erin and highly recommend her. My dad used to be a professional wedding photographer back in the days of film and he is extremely vocal about photos that are (in his opinion) taken incorrectly (lighting/posing/etc.) – he only had wonderful things to say about Erin’s photos. I had faith in Erin from the start but to have my dad speak so positively about her skills was shocking… stop what you’re doing and hire her!

Professional, Fun-Loving, and Comfortable!

Erin is so excellent at making her clients feel at home. We were able to do our engagement photos, wedding, and since I have done a boudoir shoot with her, and she never stops being the energetic, caring individual that makes anyone comfortable in front of a camera. Her professional know-how and technical expertise on locations, posing, and lighting ensure any photo shoot with her will be an absolute masterpiece. Her attitude makes your anxieties wash away on your special day.
As a photographer myself, I was nervous about choosing someone to hand over the reigns to on my wedding day. However, Erin's dedication to a vibrant and timeless look made me comfortable that my photos would be in-style and classy for decades to come. Even at our cloudy and raining wedding, she was able to create stunning, crisp photos that we joyfully display in our home.
Between her professional skills and her personable approach, Erin will make sure your wedding day plans are perfectly captured without a hitch. Could not give her higher praise!

Light and airy magic!

Choosing Erin as our photographer was a very easy choice for our wedding. From the moment we spoke to her on the phone we instantly felt such ease with her bubbly and kind personality. We were extremely impressed with her light and airy gallery. Her talent is definitely at the top with all of the best wedding photographers out there. Erin has all the skills needed to direct you into the cutest shots, while also being humble enough to allow any suggestions you have! Erin has a way of making you feel like friends while also holding a true professionalism. She captured an insane amount of photos - my family and I were so impressed looking through our entire wedding gallery. Every photo is stunning and we feel very blessed that we were able to hire Erin.

More Than Exceeded Expectations!

Hiring Erin as our wedding photographer was hands-down one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. She has gone SO above and beyond for us and has more than exceeded our expectations in a wedding photographer. From the beginning, she was so friendly, professional, and detail-oriented, and always answered any questions we had no matter how big or small. We asked her if we could do our engagement pictures in Big Bear since it’s a special place to us, and she not only made it happen but made us feel so comfortable and at ease during the engagement shoot. It was so nice to have this engagement shoot with Erin and to see how she worked with us before the big wedding day. You can tell she genuinely cares about her couples, and really worked with us during the engagement shoot to make sure we were comfortable with her and that she knew how to best capture us with the right poses, angles, and lighting. Our pictures are amazing and I am still in awe of how great of a job Erin did every time I look at them! Our wedding was unfortunately one that had to be postponed because of COVID-19, and Erin made the process of postponing and finding a new date that worked so easy for us. She was so supportive and responsive through the process of postponing. Erin even edited the pictures we took of our small legal ceremony when she couldn’t be there in person due to the gathering restrictions. She is truly a pleasure to work with! I am so thankful we found Erin, and we will 100% be reaching out to her for any of our future photography needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
