Joanna was a great inconspicuous photographer. She captured so many special and beautifully colorful moments during our wedding! The photos also came back quickly. Joanna was great!

Let me start by saying that working with Joanna was an absolute dream! Not only was she able to join us for a last minute elopement ceremony, we gave her a week notice and she made it work! She came to the resort, took pictures of me as I got ready took pictures of Chris while he waited for me to come down. She sent us a preview of our pictures a couple of hours after we had our wedding and then provided the most amazing photo library of our magical evening. She had the best ideas of what would constitute beautiful pictures and she managed to capture the sunset and even whales breaching! We will look back at these pictures for the rest of our lives and be so unbelievably grateful that she was the photographer that was with us on our special day. I could not recommend her more and will definitely be back and ask her to work with us again!

We did a beach elopment and had no specific plan on our small # of guests and where to stand etc and Joanne was so helpful in guiding us through what was going to work best. She was so friendly and professional and so patient with our neices who were a little shy at first. In addition to capturing our special day she got some really beautiful shots of my sister in law her husband and the kids and it was just the most perfect day.
As mentioned we didn't really have much of a plan as we were traveling from Canada and she was great in helping me not just with the photos but answering every question I had regarding locations, permits and clarification when filling out our marriage license!

Thanks Joanne for a lifetime of beautiful memories ❤️

Joanna captured our wedding so perfectly! The pictures are simply incredible and we look at them and relive our day again and again. She is excellent at what she does but also creative and kind. She is easy to work with and true professional with a positive spirit and energy. We can’t thank her enough for how she embraced our day with us and found a way to bring it to life in the photos.

Joanna captured every detail of our wedding so beautifully. From the small details of the rings to every single combination of family member I imagined to the toddlers dancing away. She did such a wonderful job. She was so patient with us and took time to get to know us ahead of time and throughout the day to make sure she captured each moment and person we wanted. The sunset pictures were our favorite part of the whole day and Joanna captured those moments perfectly. She was so wonderful to work with and we are so grateful to have all of the pictures to remember our amazing day!

Joanna photographed our Wedding at the Kea Lani in Maui. She capturing all the moments and we hardly even noticed. The photos are beyond stunning and we have the best memories to look back at and relive all the magic of our special day. Her sunset photos are especially stunning. Be sure to get some photos in at that time.

Looking for a good photographer isn’t easy. Especially when our wedding venue is overseas and all we can do is trust what we saw on the internet. But with the help from our coordinator Kimberlee Aihara, we were directed to several photographers of choice, one being Joanna Tano’s professional photography services. Looking at her portfolio, I could see that her style and eye for taking in a scene was very much how we’d like our photos to come out. And when the day finally came, we were not displeased. When we received our digital photos the quality of the shots was amazing. One of my requirements is that we didn’t want posed shots, but candid ones. To us it felt more natural and fit the environment we were in. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Joanna, and your assistant for making our wedding day memorable.

Joanna was great to work with. Being from California, getting married in Maui was a destination wedding for us. My Wedding planner recommended Joanna to me and I instantly fell in love with her style. But, I was nervous to work with someone I had never met before. When I contacted her to get more info about her rates, she responded immediately. She sent over samples of photos from all different weddings she had done & made me feel so comfortable. She sent me a questionnaire so she could get to know my style, certain shots I wanted, and what my expectations were. On the wedding day, she was so attentive, always by my side asking if there were things I wanted shots of, and we connected. She was great at getting our group together for the photos and organizing everyone. She also had worked at our venue many times so she knew the best places for the best photos. The best part, our photos came about 2.5 weeks after the wedding! That was impressive! We got about 950 photos and they were all AMAZING it's so hard for me to pick my favorites. If you are thinking about booking with Joanna, just do it. She is worth it. I have sent my photos to so many family members & every one of them compliment how amazing the photos are. I couldn't have asked for anything better from a photographer!

Joanna was very easy to work with. She was very knowledgable about ur venue and the best areas to take photos. We had a very large family and she was understanding and accommodating.

Joanna is amazing! She's like a ninja...she stealthily managed to be everywhere and capture every perfect moment of our wedding. I'm sure other people could say this about their wedding photographers, but Joanna also managed to do all this under a compressed timeframe. My husband and I (and 95% of our guest list) are from Oahu. We chose to get married on Maui because we fell in love with Sugar Beach Events (separate review for that). Wanting to allow our guests the ability to fly back to Oahu that same night, we decided to ensure that our wedding festivities would be over by 8:30pm - leaving minimal time for formal photos. Yet somehow, Joanna managed to capture everything! She was there for the final touches of my hair & makeup, got some beautiful shots of us with our bridal party, snuck in some sunset photos on the beach, and captured all the little details that quite frankly, I spent a lot of time planning but didn't really get to enjoy and take note of during the flurry of the day. In addition, Joanna would check in with me every now and then to see if there were particular shots or guests I wanted pictures of. Had she not checked in with me, I probably would've forgotten she was even there as she manages to do all her work non-intrusively. Joanna is sweet, professional, and attentive...and her pictures (framing, lighting, posing) are spectacular. For other soon-to-be brides out there that are Type A worry-warts like me, hiring Joanna is a decision you won't regret - rest assured that you are in the best hands!
