The Most Outstanding Wedding Photographer

We hired Roy because we saw his work and he was highly recommended. Angela and I can personally vouch that he is easily the most outstanding and detailed wedding photographer that you could choose.

We truly were amazed by his photos. The level of detail and creativity he had surpassed any expectations that we had for our wedding photo and we felt that he was able to capture our story and sequence of events on a very hectic day.

From very minute adjustments of Angela’s dress placements, to picture perfect moments of emotion and excitement in our wedding, he truly showed he was a highly skilled photographer who had a deep intuition on what moments to capture and focus on.

I think if you were deciding between Roy and another photographer, you would be a doing a disservice to your special day in choosing someone else. Even if Roy charged 10x the cost, we still would have been deeply satisified with the results. Could not have imagined a more spectacular result to match the unforgettable day.

Roy Made Our Wedding Memories Unforgettable

Roy went above and beyond in every possible way. Despite his busy schedule, he managed to fly to Los Angeles to take our engagement photos right after shooting a wedding in Seattle, and then headed back to his home in Hawaii. When we decided we wanted more pictures in Hawaii, he made time for us without hesitation. During that session, he took us to some breathtaking, secret locations that aren’t widely known to the public, which resulted in absolutely stunning and unique photos.

One of the things we loved most was how he guided us through the process. We aren’t naturals at posing, but he gave us clear, simple instructions that made us look incredibly photogenic. His ability to make us feel comfortable and confident really shone through in the pictures.

At the wedding, he struck the perfect balance between capturing the beauty of our venue and focusing on intimate, heartfelt moments of us and our guests. He didn’t miss a single pivotal moment and did it all with a warm, friendly demeanor that put everyone at ease.

The photos are beyond anything we could have imagined—each one tells a story and feels like a piece of art. We can’t recommend him highly enough!

Perfect Experience Across the Board

We're blown away with the photos Roy gave us. We cannot thank him enough for how he captured our day. Beyond producing incredible photos, he was flexible, communicative, and extremely knowledgeable. He took us to multiple spots at the venue and had us take unique shots. He did all of this without a shot list from us and did a great job of reading our relationship with eachother, our friends, and our families. Roy was a joy to work with.

I'd hire him again for my next wedding (kidding please don't show this review to my wife)

Incredible photographer

Roy is the perfect wedding photographer. On top of capturing the wonderful moments, he was great at getting everyone comfortable, extremely patient, courteous, and great at not taking away the moment. He was also great before the big day at understanding our needs, and capturing the moments that were important to us.


During our engagement session, and at the actual wedding, Roy knew exactly what the best shots are, leveraging our venue and days unique environments, and captured our day better than we could have imagined. We are happy to be reference for him whenever needed.

Most talented photographer

Out of all the vendor research we did for our wedding, finding the perfect photographer was at the very top of our list. We did extensive research on all the photographers in Hawaii. I happen to stumble upon Roy Nuesca's portfolio by chance and I immediately knew that he was THE ONE! So much that we would have changed our wedding date to ensure we could secure Roy to capture one of the most important days of our lives.

The vibe and aesthetic matched exactly what we were envisioning. Roy is an amazing human being. From the initial conversations over email and phone, to our engagement session till the actual wedding day - he was a dream to work with. He made us, the most uncomfortable/awkward couple, feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process.

We received our photos and we are so incredibly happy with them. He captured so many wonderful moments. Most importantly he captured little moments of my friends and family I didn't have time to experience during the day of.

Hiring Roy Nuesca was one of the best decisions we have made as a couple so far :-).

Amazing photographer; hands down

Roy did such an amazing job from our engagement shoot all the way leading up to our actual wedding day. We had some mishaps in regards to having a wedding during covid but Roy handled everything and managed our event extremely well despite the last minute changes! We are so happy to have been blessed by him and have him capture our special day! The wedding album was beautiful and he was great at making use of the venue and making us feel comfortable during our shoot. He also worked very well with our other vendors as well. I would recommend him to all my up and coming brides/grooms to be :)

Roy is incredible, hands down. He photographed our engagement and wedding on O'ahu and delivered absolutely stunning images - I have received countless compliments from friends and family about his captures of our love story and we are so, so grateful to have these images for the rest of our lives. He is calm in the midst of chaos, flexible when changes are made, gives helpful direction and encouragement, and he always does whatever it takes to get the shot. From the time I met Roy in the wedding industry about four years ago, I've had the privilege of watching his work improve and become more intensely beautiful over time. As a photographer myself, it is a huge thing for me to be able to trust someone to capture my vision, and Roy did that. Thank you Roy, you are the greatest!
