    5 Stars for Jake/Hi Level Media! – A Master Behind the Lens!

    10/10 - We couldn't be happier with the choice we made for our wedding videographer! Hi Level Media truly exceeded all our expectations! From the very beginning, Jake and his team were professional, on time, and maybe even more importantly, FUN to work with!

    On our big day, Jake captured so many beautiful moments. He is highly skilled and creative. I could tell that he was thoughtfully choosing which shots to create. He has a fantastic eye for capturing moments that you will be so grateful to have. He always had our video’s best interest in mind, making sure to capture details with care and emotion. He gave great direction when anyone was in front of the camera. So, if you’re worried about what to do in front of the camera- don’t be. He will make you look great and tell you exactly what to do if you ever feel frozen.

    I think another important thing I noticed about Jake, was how he worked with the other vendors. He respected the photographers needing to use flash and patiently waited until they had their shot so he could have the lighting he needed. This is an example of how he never gave up on a shot he wanted - he knew what his vision was and even if he needed to wait on another vendor, he was going to get the shot! He also worked with what nature gave him. When the lighting was right for sunset he got the shots, while not forgetting the beautiful moon that was rising in the other direction. We have the best combinations of the sunset/moon rise in our video. Gorgeous. This is an example of how he will notice what is going on around you so that you don’t have to! He will make sure it’s captured!

    The final product - WOW. Watching the video feels like reliving the day all over again. The quality is nothing short of spectacular. The video was beautifully edited, with perfect music synchronization that enhanced the emotional impact. He patiently worked with me on choosing songs. I was having a hard time choosing which music I wanted, but he made sure that we were choosing music that mattered to us. He didn’t want us to rush into a decision. It's clear that Jake puts heart and soul into his work, and the result is a stunning portrayal of our wedding that we will treasure forever.

    We’ve received countless compliments from family and friends who were just as impressed with the outcome of the video. I don’t think there has been one person who has seen the video that hasn’t messaged me saying that that teared up. If you’re looking for a videographer who will capture your day with the utmost care and expertise, look no further than Hi Level Media. Jake and his team are truly masters behind the lens, and we are so grateful to have had them as a part of our wedding day.

    Mahalo, Jake, for giving us the gift of reliving our wedding day over and over through your incredible work. We highly recommend him to any couple seeking the best videographer out there!

    High Quality Wedding Videographer

    It was difficult finding vendors in Hawaii when living in California. I will make it easier for you by suggesting Hi Level Media for your videography needs! Jake was very professional leading up to the event and really exceeded our expectations when it came to the day of all the way up until we received our wedding video. He communicated with us every step of the way. We are so so in love with our wedding video and cannot wait to be able to relive our special day for all of the years to come. Thank you!!!

    Awesome videographer!

    Jake was the awesome videographer at our wedding and we are so grateful for his creativity and attention to detail to give us such a great video of our day that we can look back on forever! He was super engaging with everyone and made it so fun! When the audio quality of us saying our vows during our first look was questionable because of background noise, he took the time to re-record them so they would be perfect for our video! And we super appreciated that. Would definitely recommend Hi Level Media for your wedding videographer! Thanks Jake!

    Amazing, top notch

    So glad we ended up with Jake and his crew to help us remember our special day. Our wedding video turned out AMAZING! “Beautiful, top notch, good quality.” is what our ‘ohana whom we shared our video with had said. Jake is so awesome to work with. Answered every single question we had, and let me tell you we had plenty lol. His professional and down to earth personality made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. Easy going and just so good fun! We would most definitely, 100% recommend Hi Level Media.

    Absolutely amazing

    Working with Jake and his team was such a pleasure!!!!! He by far exceeded any expectations that we had. He is so kind and laid back. On point with all his communication too. His turn around time is super quick and the video he made was PHENOMENAL. Many of our friends texted us saying they hope when they get married their videos will be as good as ours. If you get married in Maui make sure you use Jake as your videographer!!! I can’t recommend him enough!!!

    Best videographer!

    Highly recommend Jake for any videography needs!
    He captured every single part of our wedding from getting ready until the last parts of our reception so perfectly!
    Every single person in our family was in tears watching our wedding day video.
    My grandma said it was the most beautiful thing to have as a keepsake, and we couldn’t agree more.
    We appreciate the time he took to make sure all of the special details were captured and he pieced everything together better than we could have imagined. The drone footage was the icing on the cake! And he makes sure that no matter how crazy the day is, he pulled us aside to make sure he got the perfect shots! He is so genuine with his work & it shows with the final products his clients get.
    We are sooo grateful we found him to document our special day!

    Brilliantly talented, effective communicator & passionate - jake is the best experience you could ask for!

    Words cannot begin to explain how amazing it was to work with Jake and his team. He and his team were prompt, efficient, fun!, and a breathe of fresh air!

    The quality of my video is stunning and the angles, lighting, and innate ability to his brilliant eye to capture my vision was executed with perfection :)

    After having chatted on the phone, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak and communicate with Jake and how he immediately understood where we were coming from to implement and execute the masterpiece he delivered.

    I tend to be shy around a camera But Jake was always so calm, attentive without being overhearing, and communicative, and these qualities coupled with his creative flow and genuine passion were the founding pillars that yielded a sense of confidence within me as I trusted his guidance and I finally let loose and embraced my moment!I will never forget this most magical day of my entire life and with Jake’s help I have a video capturing it all and will be treasured forever.

    Thank you Jake!!

    Amazing! Highly recommend!

    Hi Level Media did an amazing job for our wedding at Olowalu Plantation House! There were so many little moments he captured that it was such a joy to watch and be able to relive especially being so in the moment on the day and there is so much going on that you almost blackout from joy! We are SO so happy we decided to add a videographer, it was worth every penny! Thank you Jake!

    Backyard Wedding Perfection

    We had a small backyard wedding due to Covid 19 restrictions in Maui.. we could not invite all of the family. Jake created a video that made everyone that watched it feel like they were there! He was professional, courteous and worked great with our photographer. We could not be happier with the finished product, and Jake helped us stay on track throughout the day and made sure we didn't miss filming any of the important parts of the ceremony.

    Jake had us mic'ed up through the vows and got great audio of the whole thing. The music he edited in for the rest of the movie was seamless. He made all of my aunts cry with this movie. We highly recommend Jake!

    Hi Level Media's reply:

    It was my pleasure, such a fun day! Weddings have been tricky lately with covid but we made it happen.

    Hi Level Media

    Hi Level Media,
    I would like to say how absolutely exquisite Jake’s seamless service was during our wedding.My wife and I got married in an area that was somewhat complex to navigate for a videographer. After seeing the final edit my mind was blown at the quality and perfection of the video. Jake maneuvered through the crowd and landscape without being noticed. The skill of this man is remarkable.His prices were extremely fair.I truly believe we received the best service and value of any media company on Maui. For anyone considering hiring a videographer, please know that Jake and his team are the absolute best. Thank you guys so much for making our special day accessible forever.

    A very Hi Level beach wedding on Maui

    Hi Level Media was such a pleasure to work with! Jake and his team captured many perfect memories during our Maui beach wedding in Kihei. Hi Level Media came to the wedding prepared with multiple DSLR cameras, high-end video and audio recording gear, and even a couple of remote control drones with cameras on them. Jake and his team made the experience very comfortable for us and our guests. We will always cherish the professional-looking photographs that were captured and enjoy watching the epic custom-made wedding video that was produced. We can’t thank Jake "The Best Maui Wedding Photographer" Cahill enough! Mahalos ~ Susan & Marc

    Jake Offers High Tech Drones with Aloha Feel

    If pictures are worth 1000 words videos must be worth a google. There were so many little and big moments that happened at our wedding that Jake captured with video. From speeches to small gestures of love made during vows, Jake was there to capture it all.

    We especially loved having a drone to film the magic from all angles. Jake's knowledge of the island and high performance drone skills really came in handy when a rainbow suddenly appeared over the ocean. Jake was quick to launch the drone and film the most magnificent footage. We would 100% recommend Hi Level Media.

    Working with Jake at Hi Level Media on our special day was amazing!! It was so effortless and smooth. He is so professional. He even went out of the way to make sure my veil was blowing in the wind for what turned out to be my favorite picture from the entire wedding! And to top it all off, the wedding video turned out phenomenally! It's perfect and I can't stop watching it - the quality is AMAZING. I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you so much, Jake!!!!!!!

    Intuitive artistry.

    My husband and I eloped to Maui and as an after - thought, found Jake via local friends. Little did I know, this video would become the one of the most important keepsakes of the whole adventure. We saved the viewing of the video for 6 months, watching it for the first time standing on the dance floor of our wedding reception... It was so stunningly beautiful, the exact gift we had hoped to give to our family and guests, the feeling of being there with us! The video was artistic and succinct, capturing all the most important things. Job well done. Thank you Jake!
