About

We understand that finding the perfect photography team for your wedding day can be challenging. You want the assurance that they are trustworthy, as well as personal and authentic with a seamless vision and execution. Look no further, we got you covered.

We are Kyler and Grace, the husband and wife team behind Kai-Photo Hawaii. We appreciate art, music, travel, and epic culinary experiences. We love all things WEDDING and we are extremely passionate about what we do.

We understand that for most of our clients, this is their very first time planning a wedding and we know that it can sometimes be overwhelming. We are here with you on this exciting journey and welcome any questions that you may have along the way.

Our goal is to provide an exceptional experience to each of our clients from the very beginning to the very end - not just on the wedding day. In fact, we were recently awarded The Knot's Best of Weddings Hall of Fame for consistently exceeding our client's expectations year after year.

Our style of photography is a mix of photojournalism and guided posing. We prefer to capture important moments as they happen naturally, but we have the expertise to control and direct situations when needed. We seek to artistically capture every moment from your wedding in a way that allows you to relive what you experienced on that wonderful day. With the exception of group photos and few a fun artistic shots, we strive to be as unobtrusive as possible, letting you enjoy your day while we capture the candid photos you’ll love.

Communication is incredibly important to us, and we make every effort to respond to all inquiries right away. In most cases, you'll receive a reply within a few hours. If we are photographing an all-day event, you'll typically receive a reply later that evening or the very next day.

When it comes to photography, we notice the little details. From the initial planning, photography on the wedding day, editing your images, and designing your custom heirloom album - it's the little details that make a difference between something good and something great. And all of this is in addition to our award-winning imagery and commitment to excellence. Give us a call or email us to set up a consultation to see how we can be a part of your special day. We look forward to hearing from you!

Review of Kai-Photo Hawaii at my wedding

1. Overall Experience
My overall experience with Kyler and his team was exceptional from start to finish. Kyler and his team were professional, attentive, and took a genuine interest to ensure memories from my wedding were captured for my wife and I.

2. Communication and Professionalism
Kyler was very responsible to my messages and did his best with is experience to help us in planning my wife's and I's wedding. On the day of the wedding Kyler and his team were punctual, attentive, and easy to work with throughout the entire event. After the wedding communication was open with Kyler and his team in regards to the processing of the photos.

3. Creativity and Style
I choose Kai-Photo because I like the style of photography Kyler and his team produces. Kyler and his team do their best to capture moments in their most natural, candid, moments. They blended into the background and seamlessly moved throughout the event and venue. For set photos they knew how to bring out the best in a photo, the fact that they could keep my nephew's attention for photo's is a clear indication of their skill in their trade.

4. Punctuality and Time Management
Were they on time? Did they manage the schedule well on the day of the wedding?
Example: "The photographer arrived early and was incredibly efficient with time, ensuring we didn’t miss any key moments without making us feel rushed."

They were punctual and very attentive to the schedule set-forth by my planner. They were incredibly efficient and any extra time was used to capture great moments. At no point did we feel any sort of stress when it came to the photography of my wife and I's wedding.

5. Quality of Photos
I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the final photo's. Every image taken that was sharp, well-lit, and perfectly capture the emotions of each moment.

6. Posing and Comfort
Kyler and his team made us feel completely at each, giving guidance without making anything feel staged. Even our guests commented on how well the felt during the group photos.

7. Value for Money
Do you feel you got good value for the cost? How did the pricing compare with the quality of the service?
Example: "For the level of service and quality we received, the pricing was more than fair. We felt we got great value for our investment."

We definitely received a great value for our investment. For the level of service and quality we received, the pricing was more than fair. Hands down Kai-Photo will be at the top of my list for any photography needs.

8. Post-Wedding Experience
The photo delivery was timely, and the online gallery was easy to use. Kyler and his team stuck to their projected schedule for when we would receive our photos.

9. Recommendations
I would highly recommend Kai-Photo to any couple looking for a wedding photographer, Engagement photos, or even off-site family photo's. They captured my wife's and I's day perfectly and were great people to work with.

Professional, efficient, and talented photographer!

Kyler is awesome!! We first met him at Ko'olau Ballroom's wedding expo and he was really nice and very knowledgeable. We did both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures with him, so it was nice to get to know him before the big day. My husband and I were worried about our pictures being too "posed" but Kyler was able to make our pictures look very organic and natural and they came out beautifully. He has a very calm presence which helped put us at ease. This was great to have on a day as busy and stressful as our wedding day! What was also great was that he was very familiar with our venue and knew the best places to go to take pictures during our cocktail hour. He is so efficient and thorough and we were able to finish pictures a little early so we could enjoy some down time before the reception started. Highly recommend him and his team!! Thank you, Kyler!!

Perfect, effortless, professional, fun

Kyler was so great to work with. I am personally not a big photo person and I get nervous in front of the camera and he totally made me and everyone else involved feel so comfortable and included. It was an effortless experience on our end and we could not have asked for more on our wedding day! 😍
