The best cinematic film!

Kent and Darlene are so sweet! They captured our wedding with authentic moments and we're beyond grateful! The songs they picked out for our cinematic highlight film touched us. I wish we had a picture with them! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for choosing us as your clients! :)

The Best Out There

Ohana Films is the best! We're so glad to have them film our wedding day. They were like ninjas! None of our guests even noticed that we had videographers at the wedding. Everything they caught on film was natural and nothing was set up or acted out. Darlene is a very calm and cool gal. She kept reminding me to juz breathe while getting ready for the big day because I had a million things going thru my mind. A simple reminder to just breathe was very helpful for me. I love how they focused most of the video on the kids. My kids would for sure love to watch it again when they're older and remind them of the day. Everyone had so much fun and it clearly shows on the video. I also really liked the songs they've chosen. The whole thing was perfect!

Your search for a wedding videographer stops here

I booked Darlene and Kent of Ohana Films for our June 30, 2018 wedding because they are the absolute best in the industry. In the Hawaiian Islands, their reputation precedes them as a sweet husband and wife team who have an artistic eye and incredible talent for videography and cinematography. Their website reads, “We approach every wedding video with a filmmaker's sensibility and treat each film as a work of art. Capturing genuine moments, both big and small, is very important to us. We are not going to ask you to fake any moments or perform in any way.” This comes across in their authentic documentary-style films, which are each unique, creative, and magical. After perusing their website it is easy to see why Ohana’s booking calendar often fills up a year in advance.
Besides all this, Kent and Darlene are two of the most approachable, kind, and cool people I know. They kept in contact with me during my entire wedding-planning process and were so helpful with wedding advice (because, ya know, they have been to a few weddings ;-). I also loved to keep in touch about the small-kine animal rescue operation they have going on at their house (lol) and the adventures of Nana, Pumpkin, Daisy, Miso, and the one-eared Cementy. (Seriously, D&K are angels!)
On our wedding day, as promised, all we had to do was relax and enjoy. Ohana quietly captured the entire day like a fly on the wall and what came out of it was a beautiful, candid, modern, epic, cinematic video production which you can see here: https://youtu.be/J4FFEtafOm8
When my husband and I watched the video for the first time we were blown away as it surpassed all of our expectations. We laughed, we cried (ok maybe just I did), and we relived the whole day in 8 minutes and 53 seconds of highlights. The video captured the very heart and soul of our wedding and allowed us to see moments we might have missed or otherwise forgotten. The music is *on point* and it is apparent a lot of time, thought, energy, and attention to detail was given to the film’s production. A value cannot be placed on this video, which we will be able to watch time and again, as well as share with family and friends.
Mahalo nui loa, Darlene and Kent, for this beautiful gift we will forever treasure.

BEST VIDEOGRAPHERS EVER! Kent & Darlene not only create the most impeccable wedding videos, but are the most wonderful couple to work with. Ohana Films was by far the BEST decision I made picking any of my vendors at my wedding. Trust me, coming from someone who is hard to please, I am happy to share that I was BEYOND PLEASED with Ohana Films.

Kent & Darlene went ABOVE AND BEYOND what I had ever imagined and I couldn't be happier with my decision to use their extraordinary, unique, and creative videography skills for my wedding.

They both are the most endearing, humble couple to work with and were extremely attentive to all details - even details I didn't notice they captured! The background music they chose for each ceremony was not randomly chosen, but was chosen because they were so attentive to what songs/genre of music my husband and I had casually mentioned in passing. Our wedding highlight video makes my heart melt every single time I watch it, it's one of the most beautiful video captures of my wedding events.

IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE 10 out of 5 STAR VIDEOGRAPHY SERVICE, OHANA FILMS IS IT! I can't wait to use them again for other special occasions!

Where do I begin. I am a huge fan of Ohana films and highly recommend them to anyone and everyone. I first found Kent and Darlene through their YouTube channel and Vemo account several months before I was engaged. Thanks to them, my now wife and I married at Olowalu plantation house which we fell in love w/ by seeing it on Ohana's page. Ohana and Olowalu were actually the first things we booked when we started wedding planning.
The highlight films of the weddings they attended were so unique and well crafted, I knew I needed to own a piece of their work. It was not a want but a need. Our e-mail correspondence w/ Kent and Darlene were so personable that I knew that we made the right choice. They responded to all our questions w/ details and we were also able to get more on a friendly level that we shared stories of our family and cats. Meeting Kent and Darlene through FaceTime made it all real and they were just as excited as we were. And meeting them in person was even better. On our wedding day, they arrived fully geared and ready to roll. They really know how to cater to their clients. They are very professional, great personalities, amazing to work with and just wonderful human beings. They went above and beyond my expectations. I could go on and on about them because they made my experience with them one to remember. I literally bragged about them to my family and friends.
Kent and Darlene, you both are amazing!!!

Darlene and Kent from Ohana Films are incredible to work with. They make everything feel so comfortable and natural and work hand in hand to get the right angles, sometimes two, when there is that perfect shot. They are so flexible and approachable, and made everything so fun! They captured all of the best moments of our day. Thank you to this amazing team for your graciousness and willingness to work together with Driftwood to make our wedding video the most beautiful and special memory of our best day ever!

We had our daughter's wedding in March 2017 at Four Seasons Maui.

We chose Ohana Films for videography for all the wedding events. Kent and Darlene from Ohana were amazing! They were very professional and easy to work with. All the wedding videos they created, were of very high quality and all the events were well covered.

We are so happy that we selected them to do the videography and highly recommend them. If you are looking for excellent videography and amazing people to work with, we highly recommend Ohana Films.

Thank you, Kent and Darlene, for your outstanding work!
Mahalo,
Sarla

I got married at the Four Seasons in Wailea in September 2016. Out of all of my amazing vendors, my absolute favorites were Kent & Darlene with Ohana Films. I was one of those brides on the fence about doing a video because of how much they cost. After talking with some friends, I decided it was worth it for the day of. A few months before my wedding I decided to splurge and upgrade to the three day shoot. BEST DECISION I MADE! Now there is a lot of things I paid for in my wedding that weren't really worth it, but the three day video was the best investment I made. If you are like me and doing a destination wedding, you most likely are having more than one day of wedding activities. To have all of those memories captured on film and done in the most tasteful way possible is absolutely priceless. Kent and Darlene have an amazing drone that captures some spectacular shots. They also work with you to make sure the video fits your "vision" and are above and beyond passionate about what they do. The end product was better than I could have ever imagined. If you hire Ohana Films I guarantee you will not regret it!

We had such an amazing experience with Kent and Darlene ! We were fortunate enough to be able to meet them before our wedding and the minute we met them we knew we made the right decision. Kent and Darlene are down to earth and are so genuine when it comes to their passion to making your film the way you envision it. When they were filming at our wedding no one could even tell they were around. Every moment captured was candid, real, and beautifully put together. The video editing is spectacular!! I can go on an on about how wonderful ohana films is but their films can speak for themselves. Thank you Kent and Darlene for the best gift we could ever ask for -- your raw talent, great service, and dedication to our film. Our best of film was sent to us in a beautiful box and professional cute "ohana films " usbs as well as yummy Mauna Loa macadamia nuts ?? It can't get better than that. We love Kent and Darlene and we hope they enjoyed filming our wedding as much as we loved them filming us on such a special day of our lives. We will never forget them! #chohana #chohanafilms . Thank you Kent and Darlene. Love , Mandi and Daniel

My now husband and I absolutely loved working with Kent & Darlene of Ohana Films. They are a husband and wife duo like most of the vendors that we hired for our wedding. They captured some of our most special moments so beautifully. We just received our video and we have watched it over and over already because we love it so much. Having a videographer has to be one of the best decisions that we made because it is already so nice to have such a vidid memento of our day, but I can only imagine how much more meaningful it will become in the years to come. Thanks so much Kent & Darlene! Matt & I will be forever grateful!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
