We absolutely loved Absolutely Loved!

The Absolutely Loved team was amazing and captured our wedding exactly the way we wanted! My husband and I were so happy with all of the pictures and the experience. We had a great time and have so many beautiful memories because of it their team was very flexible and accommodating as we were going to be in a few different locations for our reception and our marriage ceremony in the church. They also took us to the beach to get some beautiful pictures, thank you so much to their team for capturing our day so beautifully.

Best wedding photographers!!

Absolutely Loved did an incredible job on both our engagement shoot and wedding photos. They were so kind and professional, and delivered photos to us that were better than we could have ever imagined! They captured all the bright colors, beautiful scenery, and fun so well. Highly recommend them!!

Amazing Wedding Photography

We couldn’t be happier with Absolutely Loved Photography! From our first meeting to the final photos, Stefanie and Anna were professional, creative, and a joy to work with.

They made us feel so comfortable, despite not being used to cameras, and felt like part of the family. As a bride who was pretty indecisive, I appreciated their guidance and patience. They handled all the logistics, which took a huge weight off my shoulders.

On our wedding day, they captured every moment beautifully, with the perfect mix of posed and candid shots. The final photos are stunning, and I love the natural look of their editing.

If you’re looking for experienced photographers and quality photos, we highly recommend Absolutely Loved!

We both absolutely loved Stephanie!

Both my husband and I were thrilled with Stephanie and the photographs from our wedding. We were not going to hire a professional photographer but 1 hour was included in our wedding package at The Kahala. Thank goodness!
We chose Absolutely Loved because we liked the way they presented themselves on their website. It was the right choice! We loved working with Stephanie, who's beautiful and professional. We ended up ordering most of the photographs and we will cherish them the rest of our lives. They captured the experience of our wedding day perfectly. Thank you Absolutely Loved! You were great. We will definitely recommend you to anyone needing a professional photographer in Hawaii. Ronda and Donny.

Stefanie and Anna captured all the moments of our wedding day in a spectacularly beautiful way! We couldn't be more pleased with how our photos turned out and they did an amazing job coordinating everything on the day itself so that we could enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend Stefanie and Anna for any occasion!!

Absolutely Loved Photography - Jackie and Dennis

Stefanie and Anna were the most INCREDIBLE wedding photographers. Truly, they are magic. From the moment we met them they were warm, friendly, accommodating, kind, passionate, fun and excited. They made it their mission to get the best shots possible, while always considering the fact that we enjoyed every moment of our day. It felt like having friends take our photos; we felt so close with them from the outset, and we knew they were sharing in our joy. They went absolutely beyond expectations, even travelling with us to our dinner venue to take more photos, which happened after they were due to wrap up their session! It turns out those are some of the most special photos of the day! Working with them was one of the highlights of the day. The photos they took for us are phenomenal; we cherish every picture and feel they not only captured the best day of our lives perfectly, but enhanced it!

Stefanie and Anna, we cannot thank you enough. You're the sweetest, loveliest, most professional and talented photographers. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Best wedding photographers ever!

Anna & Stefanie are AMAZING! It’s no surprise they are on the preferred list of every venue we met with (and we met with A LOT). Everyone loves them and so do we. Their photos are spectacular and your Instagram followers will be in awe (and mega jealous) when they see them. They captured all of our important and favorite moments perfectly. I only wish I could have another excuse to hire them again!

You could not be in better hands with these ladies. They are two of the nicest people you will ever meet and will make you feel super at ease. They also took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for in order to capture photos unique to us, which not everyone does (e.g., our videographer who made a really generic wedding film).

I already had high expectations for our photos after our engagement shoot with Anna, but I was still blown away when I received our wedding photos. They even created a beautiful online gallery that made it super easy to share photos with our friends and family. I have too many photos I love that I can’t choose just one to frame. (I didn’t attach any that showed our faces for privacy, but I promise you, I’ve never looked so good in a photo before).

I truly believe we hired the best photographers in Hawaii. They know the venues so well that they will perfectly position you in the best setting possible.

Wow, just wow!!!!

I first met Ana and Stefani when I did a wedding planning internship on Oahu almost 10 years ago and I instantly knew I wanted them to shoot my wedding someday. They did not disappoint! We just got married on Oahu and they were kind enough to fly out to shoot photos of the best day of our lives! Ana and Stefani were both fun and professional. Our guests loved them! They were thorough and made sure they captured our day perfectly going above and beyond making sure every photo we took was from further away and zoomed in. I was a bit tipsy by the end of the night but I'm certain they even stayed longer than we originally booked them for to capture all the fun!

The photos truly do speak for themselves.

Mahalo Ana and Stefani! The Davenports love you both!!!

Amazing Wedding Photography

My husband and I got married January 2020 towards the end of Covid restrictions. Stefanie & Anna were amazing to work with throughout all the planning and changes that came with having a wedding during a pandemic. The photos that came out could not have been more beautiful and captured our day for us to forever remember. They were very easy to get in touch with and keep in the loop about wedding day timeline events. The turnaround for photo highlights and the complete photo collection was very quick and reasonable considering how many AMAZING photos we got from that day. I highly recommend Absolutely Loved Photography for any event you have coming up! They are amazing!

Breathtaking, Captivating & Unforgettable

We had a very small & intimate wedding so we only needed Anna for a short time period. The photos Anna took were so captivating! I'm still finding our rock photos posted on various instagram and online accounts! They are just breathtaking and we are so grateful to have these pictures to remember our fairy tale forever. Thank you so much Anna.

ABSOLUTELY (in) LOVE with our photos!

We hired Stefanie and Anna for our summer wedding, and they helped capture our special day perfectly. Choosing a wedding photographer can be a bit nerve wracking but rest assured, absolutelyloved is the real deal. Stefanie and Anna were attentive to every detail and very easy to work with. Having both photographers there meant that we were able to get two perspectives on all of our shots to make sure every moment was captured in the best possible way. Thank you for our stunning photos!

Their communication before, during and after the wedding was seamless and they were so easy to talk to! The photos came out exactly as I was hoping they would and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results of their work. I highly recommend them to anyone that is looking for an amazing photography team!

Absolutely Loved captured our wedding 10 years ago and recently captured a surprise 10 year wedding renewal my husband has planned. Absolutely Loved is the perfect team that effortlessly captures the beauty that is present. I've once heard, "You don't always remember what someone says but you always remember how they made you feel." Not only does Absolutely Loved capture the magic of the moments but also makes you feel comfortably seen, heard, and valued. The professionalism in their promptness and openess in engaging you in the process was more then we could imagine. Absolutely Loved is a true visionary and we are so blessed to have had them on our most special day. We are beyond happy with everything they captured and created... A whimsical story of love and wonder.

We must say that Absolutely Loved Photography was the highlight vendor for our wedding! Their professionalism, attention to detail, and overall creativity was unmatched. There is nothing like experiencing the best night of your life and then having phenomenal memories in form of vibrant photos capturing expressions and actions that happen once in a lifetime! We absolutely loved not only our pictures, but the experience as a whole- Anna and the Absolutely Loved team are just amazing! We worked very closely with Anna specifically, for approximately 5 months leading up to our wedding and she is truly an angel on earth! We corresponded mostly via email since she is in Hawaii and we live in North Carolina and she made it so easy for us as a destination wedding couple. She responded to every single email in a very timely manner; she consistently went above and beyond with our requests; and she totally understood our vision for what we wanted to capture and delivered on our vision! Absolutely Loved Photography couldn't have done a more perfect job!

We are the RUBIOs and tied the knot on July 22nd, 2017. We hired Anna & Stefanie as our wedding photographers and absolutely love this mother & daughter dual! Our wedding ceremony was held at Waimea Valley and reception at the Honolulu Country Club. We were first attracted to Absolutely Loved Photography seeing their work posted online. When we met with Anna and Stefanie, we hired them immediately! We also selected to do engagement photos and were so happy with our photos. As a couple we used the photos to send as save the date cards to our wedding guest on the neighbor Islands and mainland. The colors were amazing during our beach/sunset session on the North Shore of Oahu. As for our wedding day, Anna and Stefanie were amazing! Starting the morning of our wedding day shooting details (dress, shoes, hair & makeup) in our hotel room, to capturing photos at our ceremony venue as guest arrived, then continuing to family, bridal party, & bride and groom intimate photos. We received a
small selection of photos a few days following our wedding day and the photos are GEORGEOUS! We look forward to receiving the rest of our photos from our wedding day!

Absolutely Loved Photography was the best! We are not from Hawaii so we were solely going off of a list of recommended vendors given to us by the hotel but as soon as we got to Anna's website, we instantly fell in love with her pictures. Anna was friendly, prompt with her emails, and professional. We didn't do too much research on other photographers but her prices seemed reasonable. Anna is also very prompt in getting you pictures. She sent us a preview of some of her favorite photos when we got back from our honeymoon. We are so happy we were able to work with Absolutely Loved Photography and would highly recommend anyone looking for a photographer in Hawaii. It sounds like she is well-known and has a great reputation in Hawaii for taking amazing photos since our DJ, Florist, and our hotel all knew her and had only the best things to say about her.

We were so excited to have Stephanie and Anna photograph our Wedding! They are a great team and very professional. They both had great suggestions and tips, and really took their time to discuss everything in both consultations. I like that they took the time to get to know us. Since our wedding was very recent we have only gotten a few images, but they are already amazing! I can't wait to see the rest!! Thank you both so much for being there!

Stephanie and Anna graced us with their time and professional talent to capture precious moments throughout our wedding. My husband and I found them through our wedding venue and were very pleased by the quality of their service. Punctual, creative, accommodating and perceptive, both Stephanie and Anna took photos that were meaningful and personal. They made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process and had a lot of creative suggestions for shots to take and were open to take pictures that we wanted as well. Highly recommended!

They are so kind, professional, and made us feel so comfortable throughout the process (even my husband who hates having his picture taken). Romantic, timeless photos that capture the feeling of the moment perfectly. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks for everything ladies! xo

First off, weddings can be expensive, but you can manage your expenses by choosing which vendors you want to spend more money on. Absolutely loved was one of our more expensive vendors, but my husband and I decided that our media (photo and video) would be where we wanted to splurge for our wedding, we knew we wanted memories we could look back on forever. Once I saw the work of this company and met with Stefanie and Anna in person, I knew I had to have them. They create beautiful art! We had them shoot our engagement photos, which definitely helped to establish a bond with us and them, plus it gave us some practice with the poses and being in front of the camera. I fell in love with our engagement photos, and I can't wait to see our wedding ones! Stefanie and Anna even chose to stay a little late at our wedding to take pictures of a surprise we had for our family. They are the sweetest ever and I only wish I could bring them with me everywhere!

We arrived for our toes in the sand beach wedding in the midst of 2 hurricanes about to converge on Oahu... they fortunately did not, but Stefanie was so empathetic to my concerns about the rain possibility that she kindly agreed to come to the location 2 hours before we had planned. That relieved so much pressure for me... The sun was out and the photos were amazing! She and her son Lucas captured all of the moments so beautifully and naturally and they both had such warm and calming energy which was really wonderful to be around, especially on a big day like that.

She also got the thumb drive of our photos to us incredibly fast so we were able to put together a slide show for our reception 10 days after our ceremony. I just can't say enough really about their talent and also the easy way the afternoon flowed. My husband and I are still patting ourselves on the back for making the decision to hire Absolutely Loved, lol. But really, it's one of the most important moments in life so to have a photography team there that makes everything seem (and most importantly look!) so natural was a huge, huge relief.

I'll wrap up here by pasting my email to Stefanie shortly after received our Flush Mount Album:

Dear Stefanie,

So we just poured a glass of wine and opened up our album that arrived today. It's absolutely beautiful! We love it! We keep going through it, then starting again. You did such a great job from start to finish and we are so happy that we found you to photograph our beach wedding...we honestly couldn't be happier. We didn't know exactly what the album would look like but now understand what "Flush Mount" means and it's awesome!

Thank you for everything, Stefanie.

Much Aloha,

Shannon & Teddy

I chose Absolutely Loved Photography because I was in search of a very specific style of wedding photography. For me, the best type of photographs captures moments in their purest sense. The sample shots available on their website and Instagram account are pure magic and you could tell that Stefanie and her team have an unique artistic ability.

I showed my, now, husband the samples and he was also very impressed, especially when we compared the photography to other wedding photos we have seen. Our only concern was the price, which to be fair is completely on par with other top wedding photographers on the island. When we contacted them, we told them how much we loved their photography but that we were also concerned about the price. We were encouraged to come in and meet with them, and we initially met with Stefanie, who was amazing from the start. She showed us more samples and then took the time to work with us to create a sample timeline that would capture everything we wanted, within a set time frame, which would accommodate our budget. Wedding photography is an investment and, while I know everyone has a different budget, my biggest advice is to invest wisely in this aspect of your special day. A picture, good or bad can last forever, and when you look back on you wedding day I think it’s important to have images that take you right back to specific moments; Absolutely Loved Photography provided this for us.

On the day of the wedding, Stefanie and Anna were just too wonderful. They arrived early and stayed later than scheduled. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, which enabled us to get the most natural shots possible. They were also so patient and wonderful with our dog and captured some very special images of our family, and him alone. Words can’t really express how happy I was and continue to be with our decision to use Absolutely Loved Photography.

Anna & Stefanie were absolutely wonderful to work with. Our wedding was a destination wedding (from Texas), which made things a little difficult when it came to looking for the best scenery to take photos. I have never planned a wedding before and I did not know much about timelines, locations, or pricing. Anna & Stefanie worked with me when it came to price and timelines, and I am truly grateful. Our photos of both the ceremony and reception came out perfect. We only had about 30-40 relatives travel with us from Texas and practically everyone is photographed! Also, they were nice enough to stay a longer than they had to and took more photos for us. These are memories we will cherish forever! My family really enjoyed their company as well. They are very nice, friendly and professional. You can see that they are really passionate about their job! Thank you Anna & Stefani! <3

Anna was a dream to work with!! She made our planning process effortless. We live in Canada and she was amazing about always making time for our phone calls with the time change and always an instant email response.She created a beautiful timeline for our day and it was stress free. When she and her team arrived on our wedding day, she was even more lovely than we had imagined. What a joy to have around on our big day!! Our photos are unbelievable and we are thrilled!! She captured our day so beautifully and we are so grateful to have these gorgeous memories!!

Wow~ where do I start!? I just Absolutely Love Stefanie and Anna!! They are so professional and fun to work with. They always make me feel calm and relaxed during our shoots, which is very important! I did my first shoot with Stefanie when I was pregnant with my identical twins. She took such magical maternity shots of us on the North Shore of Oahu. My husband and I will treasure them Forever. Then after we had our boys & got settled, we did their newborn shoot. The photos are so precious. We also arranged a family shoot. I have blown these up on canvas and my family is so happy that we were able to capture these cherished memories forever!!
Stefanie also did a little holiday family shoot last December when our twins were 7 months old.
This past July we had our Vow Renewal... this was very, very special to us since we had our real wedding in private 2 years prior. So this was the official celebration with our close family and friends. Stefanie & Anna did such a fantastic job.. I'm so glad I chose them to do my photos. I wouldn't have anyone else!! Their artistic eye and attention to detail are so impressive. Absolutely Loved Photography is the Best of the best in all the Hawaiian islands. I highly recommend their photography services.. you'll be so happy with the magical photos you get that will last a life time! Aloha

Stefanie has been wonderful to work from start to finish. She has been patient working around our busy schedules, supportive in helping us achieve the shots we envisioned, and provided beautiful, tasteful, and professional photos that meet our high expectations.

Her son Lucas is very sweet like his mother and both were pleasant and proper taking shots around our guests. It was nice to have them as our photographers because they helped us relax and made it fun to take photos.

We are pleased that we selected Absolutely Loved to cover our wedding celebration and recommend others to use them as well.

Anna, I cannot thank you enough for your monumental role in making our wedding the most magical and lovely experience of our lives. It was exactly what I had envisioned and imagined down to the smallest detail. I cannot express how deep my gratitude goes to you for sharing your beautiful talent and gift of photography and for capturing all of those details and in the moments, pieces of loveliness. I am completely blown away by the photographs. You did such an outstanding job. I absolutely love all of them and the beauty you captured, so effortlessly, in each. "Thank you" just isn't enough. Really, you are more than an exceptional photographer and I feel so privileged and honored to have had you there to catch all of the moments, in the most raw and gorgeous way, so that we will have the visual memories forever.

Stephanie was very responsive from the time that we first met by phone. We had a destination wedding and Stephanie was recommended by Sunset Ranch Hawaii. She was always responsive to emails and made suggestions for our wedding to make it less stressful. She brought her son Lucas who also took photos and worked as her assistant. They were both wonderful to work with. Both Stephanie and Lucas made us feel at ease. We received amazing photos very shortly after the wedding. We are in the process of receiving our photo books from Stephanie. I can't wait to see the final product. Thank you Stephanie and Lucus ;)

Stefanie and Anna photographed my sister's wedding in 2012, and when my fiance and I set the date for our wedding I knew I had to see if they were available! My prayers were answered and they were available and I booked them right away. Their work was amazing for my sister's wedding and again was amazing for mine! I love them and always recommend them to my friends who tell me they're planning their big day.

These ladies are creative, personable, professional, and just make the whole experience easy and memorable. They were quick to get me dvds of all my digital prints and it's so fun to relive that magical day by clicking through the pictures. They have lots of creative suggestions for shots to take and are open to take pictures that you want also. They caught details of my day that I didn't have a chance to see, and the photo book they created is so special. I also ordered one for my parents and my in-laws and they love it too!

You can't go wrong with Absolutely Loved! They're the best!

My wife and I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada and we got married in Honolulu. Absolutely Loved was recommended to us by the hotel at which we had our reception. We contacted Stefanie by e-mail and phone, and she always responded in a timely fashion. Our phone conversations were never rushed, as Stefanie took the time to get to know us as people and not just clients. She took great pride in the details of our ceremony and reception. On the day of our wedding, Stefanie and her son, Lucas, arrived at the church one hour before the actual ceremony. In addition, Stefanie drove from the north shore of Oahu to our hotel in Waikiki to personally deliver a hard drive of photos. Thousands of photos of excellent quality were taken on our wedding day, all of which are now at our fingertips. Professional, friendly, outstanding! We would highly recommend Absolutely Loved to any couple. Katarina and Louis

Absolutely Loved by Stefanie and Anna Riedel was my photographer of choice because their style is unique, modern, and exquisite. I wanted pictures that would stand out and be memorable to all who gazed at them. I saw this in Stefanie's work. Some may say the location, video, or dress is what makes a wedding. I truly believe, your wedding photographer and pictures are what makes it! This is what Absolutely Loved gave me. Stefanie made my wedding spectacular because I have everlasting pictures that I will always hold dear to my heart. I did have a list of pictures that I wanted to take and Stefanie was very accommodating to that. But, I realized that the pictures that Stefanie took outside of what I was also asking for was what I truly wanted, but didn't know! She has an eye for it and I trusted her. She delivered. I came back nine years after my wedding to take family portraits and she did not disappoint me. I highly recommend Absolutely Loved for any professional pictures you may want. -Linda M. from California

Stefanie was amazing and made my photos look like it was for a magazine shoot. She was always incredibly fast to respond to calls and emails. She also made us feel special even though we were a smaller wedding. On the surface, she is a little more expensive than typical wedding photographers. However, in exchange she gives you all of your photos instead of charging an arm and a leg for prints like other places. I loved her and would most defiantly use her for future photo needs.

When choosing a photographer Absolutely Loved Photography was first on my list. I was VERY impressed by the prompt responses I received from them as well as the professionalism. During the course of my wedding planning I felt as if I had started a nice relationship with them. By my wedding day I was excited to meet them in person after corresponding via email and phone.
As a Bride, and a somewhat known to be a demanding person at times, they met and went beyond my expectation of what I wanted. The photos are absolutely amazing! The best I've seen. We've received innumerable amount of compliments on them.
It still amazes me that after describing over the phone in great detail on what kind of photos I wanted taken at my wedding was exactly done. I don't know anyone or service that has provided me that, ever. Especially since it wasn't visual. I am beyond pleased with their performance and how well they listened to my desires. Hands down I wouldn't even consider anyone else in Hawaii. Hire them! Your photos will be the BEST. Your friends will be jealous:) I promise you that!

If you want the most beautiful wedding pictures you ever imagined, you must have Stefanie and Anna photograph your wedding. They were also professional, warm, personable, accommodating, and straightforward. I have unfortunately found that there are many hidden charges, etc when you hire people for your wedding-- taking advantage of the emotions that go along with getting married. But this is not the case with Absolutely Loved Photography-- Stefanie was a wonderful person to work with in all capacities. I highly highly recommend this vendor.

Our wedding took place on August 3, 2013. Stefanie and her assistant, Carl, really took advantage of the beautiful scenery at the Koolau Ballrooms. What I love about Stefanie are, not only her fun-loving and amicable personality, but how she sees every photo shot and opportunity to make sure each photo proves to be extraordinarily beautiful, unique, and brilliant. I chose Stefanie amongst other photographers because of her romantic shots and beautiful backgrounds as she so creatively angles, changes views, and colors a collection of pictures, exploiting their perfection. We are forever grateful and honored that Stefanie and Carl were there to capture such precious and beautiful moments of our lives which will be with us for all time. Thank you Stefanie and Carl with Absolutely Loved! You have made me the happiest bride! :oD

Stefanie really is a unique person, she went above and beyond to help me on my wedding day, not only did she put a timeline together and stuck to it (which was a huge help) she also set up my wedding cake for me as the hotel "forgot" to do this, she kept me carm took some fun photos of the cake on my hands and made me feel completly relaxed about the 'stuff up' she saved my day.

The day went so fast and stefanie really was on the ball the whole day, she was excited just as much as I was about my upcoming day, I can't thank Stefanie enough for helping me and reassuring me that I looked great and made me feel comfortable during the photos.. she took charge on the poses which was great because we had no idea what we were doing...

The photos turned out amazing, the colours in the sky during our sunset shots were just magic... we still get comments on our photography to this day about how great it is, defintly worth it's money...

I hands down recommend Stefanie and Anna Riedel for your wedding photographers. These ladies take gorgeous photos. Everyone swears our photos are from a magazine. They are just SO GOOD!

My fiance and I met Stefanie and Anna at their home/office in Haleiwa. They were so sweet and we were very impressed by their artistic photography. It stands out above the rest. They have some really neat techniques that we saw nowhere else. They were very responsive and flexible with setting up the initial meeting, where they helped us to plan out the timeline for the wedding to incorporate sunset photos, and taking the time and energy to get to know us as a couple. We interviewed 7 different photographers and it was an easy decision to make. Their style and the value of their photo package was just unbeatable. What can I say; they wow'ed us :)

On our wedding day they showed up on time and worked very professionally. They did a great job of getting people together for all the group shots and made sure to meet my last minute requests for taking photos with every table and at different locations at our reception venue. They met us in town within a week after the wedding to give us the discs. It was really nice to have all of the thousands of photos from the big day so we could help choose which photos went into the albums and have the candid shots that didn't make it into the album.

If you are looking for some very special photos for your wedding, you will have no worries with Stefanie and Anna.

Stefanie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is a true professional in every sense of the word. Prompt responses to questions, available to speak any time, very professional personality and most importantly amazing at what she does. My husband and I did a "trash the dress" session with her on the north shore. We didn't meet her until the shoot, which was slightly worrisome, but totally unnecessary as she was perfect. The best thing about trashing your dress is that anything (within safety restrictions of course) goes! With her wide variety of experience, she takes your ideas, turns them into reality, and makes you look amazing in the process. Just look at her vast portfolio, it speaks for itself. As this was a "trash the dress", my husband and I want some "traditional" looking photos, but we also wanted to take some photos that were more fun/romantic/sexier (but tasteful) that you can't take on your wedding day because you're afraid your dress will get dirty. I'm not the most comfortable person posing in front of a camera, but she struck the perfect balance between keeping it natural and making the small suggestions that we needed to turn a photo from great to spectacular! I absolutely love the photos that she took, they were exactly what I was hoping for. My husband and I had so much fun during the shoot, we still talk about it. It was the perfect send off to one of my favorite garments that I've ever worn.

I couldn't have asked for better photographers on our special day! Stefanie and Anna are very talented professionals and all around amazing people. They did an engagement shoot in addition to our wedding shoot, and the end results were phenomenal for both. I get compliments all the time on how our photos look like something out of a magazine! We wanted more of an artistic style, and they were very willing to work with us in order to get the look we had in mind. They are also extremely nice people who went above and beyond to get all the shots we wanted and make sure we were completely satisfied. My husband took care of all the arrangements but said Stefanie was very easy to deal with and always responded to emails immediately. If you are looking for wedding photographers in Hawaii, definitely check out Stefanie and Anna at Absolutely Loved - you will not regret it!

Simply put, Stefanie and Anna of Absolutely Loved are as good as it gets.

They worked together to shoot my fiance's and my engagement photos and I was blown away by the quality and authenticity of the moments they captured. Their brilliance has as much to do with their technical expertise and local knowledge of beautiful settings in Hawaii as it does their easy and professional personalities. I can't say enough about how comfortable my fiancee and I were doing the shoot, and the pictures show it!

I enthusiastically recommend Absolutely Loved to anyone looking for world-class photographs stand will stand the test of time. In fact, my sister-in-law loved our photos so much she hired Absolutely Loved to photograph her own wedding. She made a great choice!

Picking a wedding photographer is one of the most important aspects of planning a wedding and can seem endlessly daunting at first. The photos are basically all you are physically left with in the end, so you want to make it count. After looking at many different portfolios of Hawaiian wedding photographers, Absolutely Loved was the only one that really stood out for me on an artistic level, as most others seemed very "cookie-cutter" with not a lot of differentiation between them. However, taste is very subjective, and I cannot emphasize the importance of closely looking at and ultimately loving the portfolio of the photographer you decide to go with. As for me, their style and aesthetic is so beautiful and unique that there really was no other choice.

Stefanie was my primary contact, and she is an absolute pleasure to deal with. She always replied immediately to any email correspondence and is very kind and accommodating to work with while also being very upfront and honest. We did an engagement shoot a few days before our wedding as well, and Stefanie and Anna are both genuinely great people aside from being fantastic artists. We could not have been more pleased with how awesome the photos turned out for both the engagement and wedding shoot and have received nothing but the highest praise from everyone who has seen them. I should also mention that Stefanie was very cool and perceptive to the idea of allowing me to select a lot of photos to be edited from the raw footage rolls since I am very hands on with an eye for photography myself. We cannot wait to receive our copies of the book to see the final results!

I'm in love with our engagement photos. I was really nervous and stiff when I got there. The minute we started Stefanie & Anna made me feel so comfortable, relaxed and pretty. They encouraged us to be ourselves and totally captured it when we were! I can't believe how amazing the photos turned out. They live up to their name as we ABSOLUTELY LOVE our photos.!!! You must inquire and talk with them about your budget. They are really awesome with making it work and giving you amazing coverage & photos. Stefanie has been in this business a long time and is definitely the number 1 photographer in Hawaii now & for years to come!

They were always quick to respond to both my client and myself and were so warm and approachable.

This is the best photography company ever! I have never felt so taken care of or so special. The wedding pictures were the most important thing to my husband and I. Wow! We knew we were getting a good photographer, but we never expected such spectacular shots! To top it off, Stefanie and Anna were so patient and sweet with us. I couldn't imagine anyone better for such an important occasion.

Absolutely Loved Photography even worked with us to give us a package that covered what we wanted. From the first e-mail to the day of our wedding and beyond, we knew we were getting one of the best photographers out there. Once we saw our first photos, we were absolutely floored at how well they turned out. It helped us to see our special day as even more beautiful and we know these photos will become a centerpiece in our life. We can't wait to show everyone and have heard great comments, already, from the samples we have shared. Our photos are absolutely stellar and I will recommend Absolutely Loved Photography to everyone I meet!

Stefanie and Anna gave me memories to last a life time! Their shots were very thorough and tell the story of my wedding experience from the time I was getting ready to the bouquet toss. I have a beautiful book from them that I can look at forever and remember our special day.
I was very worried when rain was in the forecast since my wedding was outside and I hoped to get some beach pictures of my husband and I. It did rain which was a bummer but they suggested some other shots other than beach ones in between the rain. We have some beautiful romantic pictures of us in an old plantation home that was on the property and some beautiful ones with lit up palm trees behind us.
They had to be very creative on this day due to the weather but it turned out just perfect! Their camera quality really shoes too. That is important when selecting a photographer. I highly advise hiring these two!!

I can't say enough good things about Stefanie :-)

My wife, Maggie, and I live in Australia but decided to get married in Hawaii. We don't know anyone over there so in preparation for our big day Maggie did a lot of research and "Absolutely Loved" stood out far and above every other photographer we looked at.

When we contacted Stefanie we found her to be extremely helpful, patient, prompt, accommodating and professional. She gave us great ideas and advice which all helped to make our wedding day special.

On the day of our wedding Stefanie and her assistant were totally fantastic. They arrived at our hotel on time and got straight into their work.

After taking shots in our room and around the hotel we all left to go to the ceremony. As it was just Maggie and I we were going to take a cab but Stefanie graciously offered to take us in her car. I certainly didn't expect this but we realy did appreciate it. It also made things easier later as we were planning to do a few location shots after the ceremony and finding cabs to ferry us between them would have been difficult and time consuming.

A week after the ceremony Maggie and I were back in Honolulu and were able to catch up with Stefanie to collect the CDs of our photos. When we arrived at her place she had a slide show of her selected shots ready to show us and they were amazing. I'll never forget the happy look on Maggie's face as we were watching them.

Every single photo was beautiful and we are so happy with them all. Stefanie, thankyou for capturing our wedding day so perfectly.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend "Absolutely Loved" to anyone looking for a photographer in Hawaii. You just can't go past the best.

I had a wonderful experience working with Stefanie Riedel of Absolutely Loved Photography. Stefanie and her assistant Anna were such a pleasure to work with! Stefanie has a romantic and artistic eye, and although I thought my wedding was beautiful (of course…), Stefanie made it look even more beautiful than I remember. She was open to discussing with me what type of pictures I was looking for. I wanted some “pretty” pose-y ones, but mostly I wanted pictures of my family, my friends, and just to overall capture the fun feel of the day. She did exactly that! I’m having a really hard time picking out which pictures I want to put up in my house, because it’s hard to narrow down a thousand beautiful pictures into just a few favorites! I can’t say enough good things about Absolutely Loved Photography. I felt comfortable the day of the wedding, which was priceless, and I had fun talking with Stefanie and her lovely husband. They treated my husband and I with kindness, respect and aloha. I would highly recommend Absolutely Loved as Stefanie is a true artist with a big heart.

Stefanie is able to capture the romance and glamor of this special day with an artistic eye that sets her apart. All it takes is a look at her website to see why she was chosen "Best Wedding Photographer in Hawaii." She is expensive, but offers so much more than other photographers. I especially appreciated that as part of our package we received a CD of photos to duplicate as we wished. We will treasure these photos and the memories they inspire for generations.

My sister, who was my wedding planner, initially contacted Stefanie, and she received an immediate response. Stefanie knew from the outset that our wedding was going to be very informal, and the package we were purchasing was going to be one of the smaller ones she offered. But she never let us feel like we were a "small budget" client. She was always responsive to our questions, ultra helpful and made us feel comfortable from the outset. Neither my sister nor I live in Hawaii, but there was no problem coordinating our schedules on the wedding day. Stefanie and Anna showed up on time, were totally prepared and knew exactly what shots to take and where. We were blessed to have a beautiful sunset that day, and Stefanie knew the precise moment to take the sunset shots! It was impressive! My husband and I had seen her work and knew her photographs were so artistic and everyone looked so glamorous. We were nervous about how we would photograph, whether she would be able to capture any kind of glamour that we had seen in all her other work. Well, she made us look like ROCK STARS! We were so delighted with our photographs. Originally, my husband didn't understand why we needed to spend money on a photographer, but after he saw our photos, he felt it was worth every penny. She really knows how to make people feel at ease so she can get great shots. She and Anna are magicians--they truly transformed two very ordinary people into celebrities--at least for one glorious day!

My husband and I came across Stefanie and Anna through our wedding coordinator who spoke very highly of them. Though our coordinator also gave us other vendor’s to choose from, we knew after a few photos and having seen their publications in many magazines that we had found the best!
Even with us living so far away, and having to plan our time line out by phone they left us feeling confident.
Then, as nervous as a bride may be on her wedding day Stefanie and Anna came in and immediately calmed me over with their kindness and expertise.
When we weren’t quite sure how to pose they guided us and while we were enjoying our special day together, with family and friends, they made it all become beautifuly timeless!

We met Stefanie when we first went to Honolulu to look for wedding vendors. We narrowed down the list to a few top photographers within the Honolulu area. (We didn't consider flying in photographers from the mainland and wanted to stay within the local market.) I'm glad we chose Absolutely Loved! Stefanie was very accomodating in meeting us and explaining all the details of her work. She even followed up with our meeting by calling us and then giving us an additional discount due to the recession. She created a package for us that was reasonable. Her daughter, Anna, is an awesome assistant and photographer as well. Even though they have photographed multiple celebrities and their weddings, Stefanie and Anna remain to be extremely down-to-earth. They treat each bride like V.I.P. They make a great team! The photos were abundant and beautiful. Stefanie's the only photographer there that uses infrared... Which is absolutely lovely. It makes the photos appear "heavenly" without photoshop work.

Stefanie and her assistant Ana captured the most amazing pictures and were very easy to work with. All the images were so amazing that it is difficult for my husband and I to pick our favorites. There was an excellent variety of images (candids, posed, scenery, detail etc.) Stefanie's style is photojournalistic. Highly recommended.

As with most other people, it was a destination wedding so I was only able to meet the photographer a few days before the wedding. However during the planning process, Stefanie was always very responsive and seemed very personable on the phone.

I met Stefanie and Anna for the first time for our engagement shoot. They made us feel very comfortable upfront. The entire shoot was fun. They were very creative and picking spots here and there so we ended up having a wide variety of different scenes and backgrounds which I really liked.

On our wedding, it’s also good to have 2 photographers onsite to capture things at different angles and from different perspectives. And they made up for each other for things maybe one had missed so that was really nice. Later in the evening when we were at the reception site at Waikiki, Stefanie pulled us out for some sunset pictures overlooking Diamond Head. Those were AMAZING pictures and showed that Stefanie is a really experienced photographer and knows when and how to take the best pictures.

They also didn’t keep us waiting long to see pictures. Stefanie started posting pictures on Facebook and her blog as they were working on the pictures and got me all excited! It also didn’t take long to receive the digital copies of my pictures so I am very satisfied with their service.
