Must-book Photographer

We had the most amazing experience with Chris from PhotoHawaii. He was communicative, had great package options to fit our needs and budget, and was a joy to work with on our big day. He was friendly, engaging, patient and a great director to keep the photos flowing! Our photos turned out better than we could have imagined, we are so glad we chose him to photograph our most important day. We simply cannot recommend him enough.

Your Search for a Wedding Photographer Ends Here!

Chris at PhotoHawaii is simply amazing! We first worked with him for our engagement photos and already knew he would be the perfect fit for our wedding day. He exceeded every expectation!

Neither of us are naturals in front of the camera, and we were nervous about not knowing how to pose. Chris makes you feel completely comfortable with his strong sense of direction. He pays close attention to every detail, gives easy tips (even down to what to do with a stray hand or foot!), and turns the whole experience into something fun instead of stressful or awkward.

Choosing vendors for a wedding can feel overwhelming because you want to make sure their vision aligns with yours. Even more importantly, that their energy matches yours. Something couples don’t always realize until it’s over: photographers are with you from beginning to end of the day and let me tell you… Chris definitely passes the vibe check! He’s fun, easy to work with, and our wedding party loved being around him too (:

On top of that, he’s fantastic at organizing a big group, which was such a lifesaver with our large family. Our photos turned out absolutely stunning, and we couldn’t be happier with how he captured all the love and joy of the day.

Lastly, one of the best choices we made was hiring Chris for a secondary shoot after the wedding. This gave us the chance to spend more of our wedding day with friends and family who had traveled so far to celebrate with us, without sacrificing the opportunity to capture more beautiful portraits together. Plus, he picked out the perfect time to go there for the location we chose.

11/10 we highly recommend Chris of PhotoHawaii Inc. to any couple still looking for a photographer. He’s talented, professional, and an absolute joy to work with. Mahalo Chris!!

Telling a Story through Photos

Having Chris, a family friend, as our wedding photographer was a true blessing. His creativity truly set him apart. From the start, it was evident that he has a unique artistic vision. He captured every detail—big and small—with an eye for beauty and originality.

His ability to find the perfect angle or backdrop transformed even simple moments into stunning images. We especially appreciated how comfortable he made everyone feel, which led to authentic, candid shots that we adore.

The final photos exceeded our expectations. Chris didn’t just document our wedding; he crafted a visual story full of emotion and artistry. If you want a photographer who brings creativity and passion to every shot, Chris is the one to choose.

Absolutley Amazing

Chris was so personable and kind from the moment we met him and loved that his main focus was on us and our very special day. Our photos were absolutely breathtaking and the detail in each one of them was incredible, which left it very difficult to choose only a select few, so we ended up purchasing the whole package! If you are looking for a highly skilled and personable photographer for your special day, you really need to consider PhotoHawaii. You will not be disappointed.

Christopher Douglass did such an incredible job capturing our special day! He was professional, yet very personable. We felt relaxed and comfortable with him, which lead to really incredible pictures. We wound up buying the full album because we just couldn't decide! If you're looking for a photographer, Chris is your answer!

Absolutely Thrilled!

Chris blew away all our expectations for wedding photos! He captured all the special moments of our wedding day in such a beautiful way - I cannot stop looking through the photos! We are absolutely thrilled with how they all turned out.
Chris was also amazing to work with from beginning to end. My husband and I had never done a professional photo shoot together, so we really had no clue what we were doing, but Chris made us feel so comfortable and directed us the whole time so it was super easy.
He was also everywhere during the reception, capturing all kinds of great candid moments with our guests. It was so fun getting to relive the whole night when we got the photos back.
I cannot recommend Photo Hawaii enough; you won't be disappointed!

Perfectly captured wedding day!!!

BEAUTIFUL PICS!!! Chris had his hands full with our wedding guests, but he wrangled them all with a smile on his face and our pictures came out beautifully. The ceremony, family pics, bride and groom pics after, they all turned out WONDERFUL!!!! He even took candid pics of our guests before the ceremony, and they’re some of our favorites. All in all, he captured the whole day and we could not have asked for more.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
