Not only is Ikaika's work stunning, but his calm demeanor and kindness are exactly the vibe you want on your wedding day. He flawlessly captured the joy and excitement and helped us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I cannot recommend Ikaika enough. Do not hesitate to book with him. 

Ikaika was the best photographer and videographer we could have ever asked for in capturing our elopement during our 10 year anniversary in Kauai! He was communicative and patient throughout the entire process and answered all of my questions/emails with kindness. He is an extremely talented artist and truly knows how to capture the incredible beauty of natural environments in his photos. His experience working with different settings and backgrounds on the Island (especially beach & forest) is impressive. He has an active creative mind to create unique memories for each client in the moment. He taught us how to pose and gave great advice/tips, which truly helped capture the love and happiness in our beautiful photos. His attention to detail and creative style are shown in the high-quality editing process. I’m truly impressed with how beautifully everything turned out! I am so grateful we were able to book with Ikaika as a local artist. I highly recommend him for any photography, videography, or digital editing needs on the Island!🏝️

Ikaika is incredibly talented. His photos have a warmth and artistry that far surpasses most professional photographers. He has a very professional yet laid back and calming presence and our photos will be cherished reminders of our beautiful wedding. We are so happy we chose him. 

We had such a wonderful experience working with Ikaika. From the very beginning he truly listened to what we wanted and offered great advice that made the whole process smooth and stress free. During the shoot he was incredibly gentle, kind, and easy to be around. It felt like spending time with a friend rather than posing for photos.

We also really appreciated that Ikaika has so many helpful blogs and tips for couples who want to plan their elopement without an agency. His guidance made it so much easier for us to choose where to elope and how to plan everything ourselves.

The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We would highly recommend Ikaika to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented, and genuinely caring photographer.

Mahalo nui loa, Ikaika.

We found Ikaika through Kauai Elopements and he completely exceeded our expectations. He was very communicative and flexible as we were leading up to the wedding. And day-of, he was fun to work with, had a great eye for creative shots, and brought a calm and relaxing vibe to the entire experience. The final images were unique yet timeless, and I loved how he leaned into the existing landscape to bring Kauai’s natural beauty into each of our pictures. Couldn’t recommend Ikaika more to anyone getting married on the island!

Ikaika was amazing from start to finish. He was professional, patient and so easy to work with. The first time I saw his work, I knew we had to have him capture our special day and we planned it all around him. We are so glad we did.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our elopement. Ikaika brought such a calming energy, it felt like having a trusted friend there. He gave us space while gently guiding us when needed, and the result is a gallery of photos that are somehow even more beautiful than the day itself! We’ll treasure them forever.
