We love Keoni! We found out about him through the Bridal Expo we attended. We actually never stopped by his booth, but after the expo, he sent out a mass email to everyone who attended and we just fell in love with his photos. They were bright, romantic, and timeless -- exactly what we wanted out! Since we were planning for a Hawaii wedding from California, we were happy when mostly everything was communicated through email and phone.

When we visited Hawaii before the wedding, we decided to take engagement photos with him to get to know each other better before the wedding... and oh my goodness, can't say enough amazing things about the whole experience. It was a windy and somewhat gloomy day up in Tantalus where we took our photos, and paired up with the fact that my husband and I can't stop laughing when we're forced to be "lovey" with each other, I was extremely concerned about them not turning out nice. SInce it was the holidays when we took our photos, he got back to us a little later than expected, but they were so worth the wait. I actually cried looking at them and it made me so excited for our wedding day photos. He uploads them on a website where you can share, view, and download them. Easy process! Keoni made us feel so comfortable and he's a funny and friendly guy. Not sure if he does photography outside of weddings, but if he does, we would 100% work with him again.

BONUS, he now does packages with Inspired Films Hawaii for wedding photo + video! We were lucky enough to have already hired Inspired Films with him, and on the day of the wedding, they truly were in sync and a pleasure to work with.

It was such a pleasure working with Keoni and Kent! They were so much fun and made the dreaded prolonged wedding photos a better experience than I could have imagined. They're like ninjas! They work so fast and efficiently, so to stick to the timeline given to them by my wedding coordinator. Keoni was very familiar with my reception site so he knew exactly where to go to get the best pictures! I was so surprised to receive an email THE DAY AFTER MY WEDDING with an album of my Sneak Peeks ready to be viewed! His photos captured every moment beautifully. He is one talented man! I couldn't imagine anyone better to document the best day of my life!

It was clear from the very beginning that shooting weddings is not only Keoni’s job, it is also his passion.
Coming to Hawai’i from Germany for this occasion, it was very important for us to have a reliable partner with us that we found in Keoni. He was very responsive to any of our questions and we ended up meeting once in person and once via skype to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding.
Keoni showed up early on our wedding day to check out the setting and the lighting at our hotel and brought 2 (!) assistants with him. With 3 photographers for a total of 60 guests we are confident that Keoni got all the shots of what was going on. Our guests emphasized that the photographers were never in their way or were disturbing any intimate moments whatsoever, which was really important to us.
They are so professional and fun to work with. While giving us directions they made sure to avoid over-staging the pictures and made us feel calm and relaxed during our shoots. They also have an incredibly good eye for landscapes and angles which is great when you are getting married in such beautiful spots like Hawai’i.
All in all: Keoni and his team are creative, personable, professional, and just make the whole experience easy and memorable.
