    Captured Special Memories

    Joanna was a great inconspicuous photographer. She captured so many special and beautifully colorful moments during our wedding! The photos also came back quickly. Joanna was great!

    Bottling Magic!!!!

    Let me start by saying that working with Joanna was an absolute dream! Not only was she able to join us for a last minute elopement ceremony, we gave her a week notice and she made it work! She came to the resort, took pictures of me as I got ready took pictures of Chris while he waited for me to come down. She sent us a preview of our pictures a couple of hours after we had our wedding and then provided the most amazing photo library of our magical evening. She had the best ideas of what would constitute beautiful pictures and she managed to capture the sunset and even whales breaching! We will look back at these pictures for the rest of our lives and be so unbelievably grateful that she was the photographer that was with us on our special day. I could not recommend her more and will definitely be back and ask her to work with us again!

    Maui Elopment

    We did a beach elopment and had no specific plan on our small # of guests and where to stand etc and Joanne was so helpful in guiding us through what was going to work best. She was so friendly and professional and so patient with our neices who were a little shy at first. In addition to capturing our special day she got some really beautiful shots of my sister in law her husband and the kids and it was just the most perfect day.
    As mentioned we didn't really have much of a plan as we were traveling from Canada and she was great in helping me not just with the photos but answering every question I had regarding locations, permits and clarification when filling out our marriage license!

    Thanks Joanne for a lifetime of beautiful memories ❤️

    Capturing our dream!

    Joanna captured our wedding so perfectly! The pictures are simply incredible and we look at them and relive our day again and again. She is excellent at what she does but also creative and kind. She is easy to work with and true professional with a positive spirit and energy. We can’t thank her enough for how she embraced our day with us and found a way to bring it to life in the photos.

    Amazing Wedding Photographer!

    Joanna captured every detail of our wedding so beautifully. From the small details of the rings to every single combination of family member I imagined to the toddlers dancing away. She did such a wonderful job. She was so patient with us and took time to get to know us ahead of time and throughout the day to make sure she captured each moment and person we wanted. The sunset pictures were our favorite part of the whole day and Joanna captured those moments perfectly. She was so wonderful to work with and we are so grateful to have all of the pictures to remember our amazing day!

    Most Amazing Wedding Photos & So Easy to Work With

    Joanna photographed our Wedding at the Kea Lani in Maui. She capturing all the moments and we hardly even noticed. The photos are beyond stunning and we have the best memories to look back at and relive all the magic of our special day. Her sunset photos are especially stunning. Be sure to get some photos in at that time.

    Picture Perfect Maui Wedding

    Looking for a good photographer isn’t easy. Especially when our wedding venue is overseas and all we can do is trust what we saw on the internet. But with the help from our coordinator Kimberlee Aihara, we were directed to several photographers of choice, one being Joanna Tano’s professional photography services. Looking at her portfolio, I could see that her style and eye for taking in a scene was very much how we’d like our photos to come out. And when the day finally came, we were not displeased. When we received our digital photos the quality of the shots was amazing. One of my requirements is that we didn’t want posed shots, but candid ones. To us it felt more natural and fit the environment we were in. We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Joanna, and your assistant for making our wedding day memorable.

    Amazing photographer

    Joanna was great to work with. Being from California, getting married in Maui was a destination wedding for us. My Wedding planner recommended Joanna to me and I instantly fell in love with her style. But, I was nervous to work with someone I had never met before. When I contacted her to get more info about her rates, she responded immediately. She sent over samples of photos from all different weddings she had done & made me feel so comfortable. She sent me a questionnaire so she could get to know my style, certain shots I wanted, and what my expectations were. On the wedding day, she was so attentive, always by my side asking if there were things I wanted shots of, and we connected. She was great at getting our group together for the photos and organizing everyone. She also had worked at our venue many times so she knew the best places for the best photos. The best part, our photos came about 2.5 weeks after the wedding! That was impressive! We got about 950 photos and they were all AMAZING it's so hard for me to pick my favorites. If you are thinking about booking with Joanna, just do it. She is worth it. I have sent my photos to so many family members & every one of them compliment how amazing the photos are. I couldn't have asked for anything better from a photographer!

    Beach wedding with large family

    Joanna was very easy to work with. She was very knowledgable about ur venue and the best areas to take photos. We had a very large family and she was understanding and accommodating.

    Joanna is amazing! She's like a ninja...she stealthily managed to be everywhere and capture every perfect moment of our wedding. I'm sure other people could say this about their wedding photographers, but Joanna also managed to do all this under a compressed timeframe. My husband and I (and 95% of our guest list) are from Oahu. We chose to get married on Maui because we fell in love with Sugar Beach Events (separate review for that). Wanting to allow our guests the ability to fly back to Oahu that same night, we decided to ensure that our wedding festivities would be over by 8:30pm - leaving minimal time for formal photos. Yet somehow, Joanna managed to capture everything! She was there for the final touches of my hair & makeup, got some beautiful shots of us with our bridal party, snuck in some sunset photos on the beach, and captured all the little details that quite frankly, I spent a lot of time planning but didn't really get to enjoy and take note of during the flurry of the day. In addition, Joanna would check in with me every now and then to see if there were particular shots or guests I wanted pictures of. Had she not checked in with me, I probably would've forgotten she was even there as she manages to do all her work non-intrusively. Joanna is sweet, professional, and attentive...and her pictures (framing, lighting, posing) are spectacular. For other soon-to-be brides out there that are Type A worry-warts like me, hiring Joanna is a decision you won't regret - rest assured that you are in the best hands!

    First of all, Joanna knows how to bring out color in her photos, and with a wedding in Maui that was a must have for us. She also gave great suggestions for photo opportunities and poses without ever making us look forced or uncomfortable. In the process of finding our photographer what sold us with Joanna (beyond the quality of the photos) was the fact that each couple looked natural, comfortable, and in love. Look for yourself on her website if you haven't already.
    I also want to specifically point out Joanna's flexibility with us. As it turned out the forecast for the day we had scheduled for originally was rainy and we wanted to postpone for two days later. Granted luck is always a factor in cases like this for open spaces in schedules, however I'm still grateful Joanna was willing to accommodate and thus gave us the opportunity to get married on the beautiful day that we got.
    Thanks so much, Joanna!

    Joanna was recommended to us by our wedding coordinator and we were so pleased. Joanna and her assistant spent 6 hours with us before and during our wedding. She was friendly and easy going. Best of all, she captured the best pictures of our best day ever. She continues to post our wedding pictures through instagram and Facebook and it's such a treat to be reminded of all the moments throughout our day . I would highly recommend Joanna as a photographer for any occasion on the Hawaiian islands!

    Joanna was incredible!!!!!! We didn't want to focus on formal photos, we really only wanted mostly candid, and she did this effortlessly and casually. I am not photogenic in the least bit and she did an amazing job of making me look perfect in every shot. She encompassed exactly what the wedding was, sophisticated and island chic simplicity at its finest!

    Joanna was great! She is so friendly and very easy to get in touch with. We booked her for 4 hours and time flew by! She brought her assistant who was also wonderful and they took such lovely photos of us at the ceremony and especially at the beach afterwords. She made sure to get guest photos too. Joanna made us feel comfortable and was able to capture such special moments between me and my husband on our wedding day and we are so happy with the photos we received. We loved working with her and would definitely recommend her!

    Joanna recently shot our engagement portraits and we couldn't be happier with the results! She has a real talent for finding the best lighting and our photos came out gorgeous. My fiancé and I are hardly "naturals" in front of the camera. Joanna made us feel so comfortable and it ended up being a very fun experience. We can't wait to have her capture our wedding next year!

    I can't say enough positive things about Joanna. She made our rehearsal dinner and wedding so easy! She is responsive and a top-notch professional. She has a great eye and her creativity and ability to capture light is amazing. She is sweet, easy going, and will go above and beyond to get the best angle for a shot. I loved our candids as well as our posed photos, and she had our entire album sent and edited to us 2 weeks after the wedding (this is rare and we were so excited)! Again, can't say enough about her and I would suggest her to anyone looking for a ray of sunshine on your wedding day.

    Joanna is the best! She photographed my wedding in Hana with just my husband and me. Photos were the biggest deal to us since we didn't have family with us, so I looked at dozens of photographers and when I came across Joanna's work I was done looking! We literally don't have any bad photos, she has such an eye to capture our day perfectly! I would highly recommend working with Joanna to anyone!!

    Amazing experience and we love the photos! Joanna was recommended by our wedding organizer. After going through a few choices, we decided to go with her because we like how she makes use of natural lighting therefore minimal processing to achieve a more natural look without over touching up. The photos turned out really well. She had some interesting angles and ideas which made our pre-wedding, reception and couple beach shoot not boring and cliche.

    Joanna brought her assistant too for the shooting and they both were friendly and easy to work with. I like how she's friendly but not babbling. It seems like she's really putting thought into her work! Her team worked hard from beginning till the end. They also tried their best to stay out of the way and we didn't notice them at all during the ceremony!

    The photos turned out great and were ready in only 20 days! We also love how the website was nicely set up and was easy to navigate. We can also use the tools to save our favorites and share with friends easily. Joanna is tech savvy!

    Overall we are very pleased with the experience. Although the standard Maui prices are on the high side, we're glad we chose Joanna to be our photographer. It's daunting to not know what to expect when you are paying this much money, but I'm sure she'll do a good job in your next event. We highly recommend her team!

    Joanna took our wedding photos at Sugar Beach Events in October. She was familiar with the venue, so she knew all the best places to capture our photos. She brought an assistant with her, and both of them were very professional and friendly. We received digital copies of all our images just a few weeks after our wedding and were able to easily shared those photos with friends and family. We booked a 2 hour photography package and received over 400 photos. I would recommend Joanna for your event!

    Joanna was just fantastic!! We are absolutely thrilled with our photos which we received so quickly! Her use of natural light and incorporating the beautiful Hawaiian scenery into her images makes her style so incredible and unique. We are in love with our photos! If you want the best, Joanna is it!

    Joanna was our photographer for our October 1st wedding at the Old Lahaina Luau! She was great! My husband and I both are not very comfortable with posing for pictures and Joanna made the environment comfortable and gave great direction. The pictures turned out beautiful and they were available within 2 weeks which was great! Definitely recommend!

    Cannot recommend Joanna enough!! We were married on 19 Sept 2016 and our wedding photos are seriously stunning!!! She was professional, prompt, and so easy to deal with and be photographed by. Looking at them makes me so happy as she truly captured our day exactly as it was. I chose Joanna based on her talent with capturing natural light so magically and she definitely did this for us! Her online download system is also seamless!

    Thank you so much Joanna!!

    Joanna was amazing. Booking a Maui wedding from Washington state could have been stressful if it weren't for professionals like Joanna. We were able to speak by phone in order to make sure she could capture our vision for the perfect ceremony. She took both posed photos and lots of candid pictures and captured the day perfectly. We are so glad that we found her.

    My husband and I (and our kids) had the amazing opportunity of working with Joanna for our Maui destination wedding. Not being from the island, we leaned on the help of a coordinator to help setup the whole day. When it came time to pick a photographer we were given a list to choose from. Joanna's photographs stood out immediately, they were authentic and warm and exactly what we were hoping to capture of our day.
    We couldn't be happier with how Joanna and her delightful assistant photographer captured our day. Not only did we get our pictures back in record time, but they were all so gorgeous and captured the intricacy of each moment so well.

    Joanna Tano was recommended by my wedding planner. I was really pleased with the whole experience. She is super sweet ,laid back-and made everyone feel relaxed. The photos were beautiful and we received so many compliments. If i were to change anything, it would be to book more time with her.

    My wife and I loved working with Joanna! She photographed our wedding last month on Maui in Kula and captured so many special moments in the short time we had. It was pouring rain for hours before the ceremony which was challenging because it limited our time for photos, but you would never have guessed that by looking at the pictures because she was still able to get so many great ones! Our ceremony was very small and intimate with just immediate family and Joanna felt like part of our family too. ;) She truly has an eye for lighting and color and was able to incorporate the natural setting perfectly. She is very professional, arrived early, and got the photos back to us quickly. Couldn't have had a better experience! Many thanks from Thomas and Kandice

    I found Joanna through a co-worker’s referral and I’m so glad I found her! We used Joanna to take our engagement photos while we were on vacation in Maui earlier in May. The pictures came out wonderfully! The online process to book Joanna’s services was very easy and efficient. As soon as I booked Joanna, she quickly responded. I gave her some general feedback about the type of photos I wanted, which was both beach and greenery type photos and she was very helpful in suggesting some nice places to take photos. We took photos at Po‘Olenalena Beach which is south of Wailea that had some greenery, craggy rocks and smooth beach areas. The location was perfect; it had everything I was looking for and Joanna took perfect advantage of all the lighting that the sunset had to offer. She really captured some beautiful moments. In the hour we spent with her, Joanna took a variety of photos that made it seem like we traveled to 3 completely different places. The photos arrived in the mail about two weeks later and they were gorgeous! The sunset backgrounds were perfect. There was also a good balance of close-up and panoramic photos as well. I loved all the photos! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

    It was a great experience to work with Joanna, and our pictures are amazing! We had a hard time deciding on a location and the details were pretty last minute. Joanna was very flexible and professional. She was helpful and positive throughout the experience. She captured our day perfectly and we would recommend her to anyone! Thank you Joanna!

    Not only were our photos absolutely amazing -- Joanna is such a nice person to work with. She was on time, and even stayed a bit later than was expected. When the end of the night came, she was not in a rush to leave but instead asked me if there was anything else she should capture or do before she left. We had a videographer that was not from her company and as hard as it can be to work with a random person that you have never met or worked with -- they worked very well together and she was so courteous of his shots and space. Joanna is very personable, we met her the day of our wedding and I would do it all over again with Joanna. My husband and I would enthusiastically recommend Joanna Tano Photography to everyone getting married on any Hawaiian island.

    Joanna was my photographer for my wedding in Maui. She is very easy going and pleasant to work with, making the day relaxing and stress free. Joanna has a great eye and direction for photography. She created a beautiful blend of our wedding guests, landscape, and artistic shots that comprised our wedding day. Our photo album truly exudes the love and beauty that we felt on that day. Her work more than exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her for any type of event!

    I am so happy that I hired Joanna to be my wedding photographer. She was very easy going and made us feel very comfortable. Joanna went above and beyond to capture all the special moments...even going into the water to get the perfect shot. The turnaround time was extremely quick and all the pictures are amazing!! She really knows how to take beautiful pictures using natural light. I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone needing a professional photographer on Maui.

    We were so fortunate to have had Joanna Tano as our photographer for the surprise vow renewal I planned while in Maui. She was extremely responsive from the first email. She gave me clear information about her services and the prices of her packages, She was extremely flexible about scheduling the date and time since we were coordinating it with the minister. I only booked this about 2 weeks ahead of time so I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with Joanna. She was so professional and easy going and made the whole experience so relaxing for my family, The pictures we received were amazing and we had nearly 200 high resolution pictures for a 40 minute session. As one family member said of the pictures, "it was like I was there as she captures all the moments of the event."

    Joanna Tano was incredibly professional and easy going. My husband and I feel really awkward having pictures taken of us, but Joanna had a way of capturing the perfect moments and making everyone feel comfortable.

    Joanna captured moments and memories we can look back on for years to come. I would highly recommend Joanna for anyone looking for a photographer!

    Joanna and her husband were absolute professionals. They had planned everything out very nicely to make the most of our time with them. They had photographed other couples on Lanai and as a result were very knowledgeable about where to take some really stunning pictures. We couldn't be happier with the pictures, the service, the professionalism, and the finish product! I would whole-heartedly recommend Joanna to anyone getting married in Hawaii.

    We had the privilege of having Joanna Tano photograph our wedding at Four Seasons Resort Maui and were absolutely thrilled right from our first encounter with Joanna. She immediately reached out, clearly explained package options with us, greeted us on our wedding day and was a delight to work with. Joanna captured hundreds of special moments beautifully. She was so quick to edit and share the photos with us. We could not have dreamed of working with a more professional, kind, and lovely photographer. Joanna made us feel very comfortable doing our photo shoot and provided perfect guidance and instruction on how to pose and make our photos stunning. We highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a professional photographer!

    Joanna Tano Photography did an incredible job for my wedding in Maui. The photos are absolutely perfect and my husband and I could not have asked for anything better. She has an amazing eye for lighting and gave us great direction for posed and group pictures. Joanna and her team were so nice and very professional. I would highly recommend Joanna Tano Photography to everyone. I cannot thank them enough for capturing those moments so beautifully!

    Joanna is the sweetest, nicest, and most talented photographer!! She shot our wedding, and the pictures turned out really beautifully. Leading up to the wedding, I regularly e-mailed Joanna to give her an idea about what I liked (I live in California), and she gave me very prompt and informative responses. On our wedding day, she showed up at my hotel room, and started to shoot every detail (my dress, accessories, bouquets, etc.). She then spent the rest of the day capturing the moment. She did an incredible job.

    When she sent us our online gallery, we were extremely happy!! The pictures are really beautiful, natural, and gorgeous. My husband and I couldn’t be happier. We both strongly recommend Joanna for everybody. If we ever have the opportunity again (like if we renew our vows), we would definitely have her do another photo shoot for us.

    Joanna & her assistant were absolutely amazing to work with. Being in the catering/events + hospitality industry on a small island, we know that it's certainly about the quality of the work as well as the relationship. From the beginning of our conversation, Joanna was very flexible and truly listened to our needs/visions. Her works speak itself and the final edits were gorgeous. She definitely takes beautiful pictures using natural lights and awesome in taking candid photos. We truly recommend her for any occasions. It's those 'moments' she captures with her camera that make her a remarkable & unique photographer.

    Joanna was awesome! When I saw her blog, I loved the style of pictures she takes and knew I REALLY wanted to have Joanna shoot our wedding. She was super nice and patiently answered my many questions. Before the wedding, I emailed her a list of photos with family and friends that were important to us. Joanna had the list printed and just went through it after the ceremony to make sure we got all the group pictures we wanted. She did a honeymoon shoot for us up in Iao Valley and was super flexible with working around our schedule. All the pictures turned out wonderfully and Joanna is the best!!

    We absolutely loved having Joanna as our photographer for our wedding! Since we were having a destination wedding in Eastern Washington, we did most of our communication with all of our vendors via email and over the phone. While I felt nervous with what type of service I would receive from most of my vendors, I felt absolutely confident in what I was getting from Joanna. From the beginning, she was very professional, timely and straightforward about the service I was requesting while still giving off a calm and comforting vibe. She was so reassuring to work with and handled my "crazy-bride freak outs" with ease. :)
    On the day of our wedding, Joanna was laid back yet organized. She was able to adapt to the schedule when our groom and groomsmen showed up a little late, when the wind started to pick up and when the sun was casting major shadows in the areas we had pre-planned for the shoot. She was even able to make the entire experience fun and enjoyable for my husband, who HATES having his picture taken and can be pretty un-photogenic at times. Our photos were edited and delivered to us much quicker than I ever thought (within two weeks!) and they turned out absolutely gorgeous.
    We would highly recommend using Joanna Tano Photography to document your special occasions!

    We love working with Joanna Tano Photography for our weddings and events. Not only is she professional and talented, but our clients love working with her! Joanna also understands the different cultural ceremonials involved in the Hindu wedding. From the mehndi party to the sangeet, pujas, baraat and wedding ceremony, she has a wonderful eye for getting us all the "right" shots that the couples are looking for. Mahalo for all your lovely work Joanna!

    Joanna was amazing! She came recommended by our wedding planner, and photographed both our engagement session( in the beautiful Paia at her suggestion) as well as our wedding at the Haiku Mill in Maui. Joanna was so sweet, complimentary, personable, and just a pleasure to work with. Not only did she make my husband and I feel super comfortable when normally reticent in front of a camera, but she captured both of those occassions in their most beautiful and organic state. We were beyond thrilled when we saw the finished product. Photography was the #1 most important investment for our wedding day, and what I was most discerning about in my search for a vendor. Well, I picked the right person- I will always be grateful for the way she captured the natural beauty, pristine setting, and every emotion that was experienced of those memories. And, a few months after the wedding her lovely photos made it onto a Style Me Pretty feature! So thanks again Joanna, and if we ever do a vow renewal ceremony in Maui we know exactly who to call. Highly recommended!!

    Joanna is the nicest, most laid back, and professional person I have ever met! This was my first time every being married or having to find a photographer. She over exceeded my expectations. Her work is absolutely breath taking. I get tears in my eyes every time I look at our album. She captured our day just beautifully. Joanna is very knowledgeable about the islands, we had lost of questions and she was more than happy to help us. She arrived on time and even stayed late because we were driving to multiple locations to capture the perfect sunset. I can't say enough great things about her. You will not find anyone better!

    Pls save time on selecting wedding photographers and take my advice to go with Joanna. I have carefully browsed all the work by various photographers the Four seasons resort had recommended and Joanna's work had made my decision an easy one for one of the most important days of my life. You will be completely at ease and looking beautiful and natural on photos even if you are a nervous bride. Make sure to do some sunset shots - my husband and I fell in love with the beautiful maui sunset (better than santorini!) she captured in the background.

    We used Joanna as our photographer and she was simply amazing and made us feel so comfortable. We got some really good shoots and she took us to a beach for some great pics and we can't wait to see the finished product. She was very easy to work with as we had a destination wedding so we communicated mostly through email and phone. The minute we met her we felt at ease and excited to begin capturing our wedding and reception. If you need a photographer for anything while your in Maui we highly recommend Joanna! Thanks for creating and capturing everything on our special day.

    We highly recommend working with Joanna Tano. We were impressed with the photos we received for our wedding, all were amazing and returned shortly after the wedding day. Not only was she easy to work with leading up to the wedding but she also made the day of experience stress free and enjoyable. Joanna was able to capture every moment of our wedding that has helped us relieve the memory today and forever. It was nice that she was timely and took pictures of those family and friends we had requested. Her creativity stands out and made every moment look beautiful!

    Joanna Tano photography was more than accommodating, flexible and professional. As we prepared for our new babies blessing capturing the moments prior were timeless. Babies are unpredictable an Joanna was able to adapt and remain comfortable despite moments when we attempted to capture all three children in between diaper changes and naps. The photos are beautiful, and I received them in a timely manner enabling me to still make birth announcements with in two weeks of birth.

    Joanna is an extremely professional, talented photographer. Before the wedding, she made sure she understood our backgrounds and personal styles, and made sure they came through in the photos. did an amazing job of capturing the special moments during our wedding. We've received so many compliments on our pictures . . . and love, love, love our wedding album.

    We consider the money we spent with Joanna as a very wise investment. We'll enjoy her work for years to come!

    Joanna did both our Engagement and our Wedding Photos. We had so much fun with her and the pictures are amazing!! Working with her was so easy. My husband hates taking pictures and even he enjoyed the experience. If you're looking for a photographer for any reason, I would highly recommend Joanna Tano Photography... you will NOT be disappointed!

    We are extremely happy that we were able to book Joanna Tano for our wedding. She was very professional - but had a very relaxed presence, which made it comfortable for us to be ourselves in front of her. She was excellent about capturing key moments throughout the day without us even knowing she was around. She was also incredibly quick at posting our photos online for us to share with family and friends - which was fantastic since many of our friends and family weren't able to attend our destination wedding. Overall we loved Joanna - partly because we were thrilled with the pictures from our wedding day, but also because she was so easy and accomodating to work with. We would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a fantastic photographer!

    Some of our photos were even featured on the style me pretty blog for destination weddings: http://www.stylemepretty.com/destination-weddings/2012/05/07/kauai-wedding-at-na-aina-kai-botanical-gardens-by-joanna-tano-photography/

    Joanna did portraits for my family and her work was beautiful. She's a joy to work with- outgoing and down to earth, and listens to her clients. I had some ideas for our shoot, but she created art even more magical and precious than I had envisioned, and I will cherish these portraits for a lifetime. Thank you so much Joanna!

    I was beyond pleased with Joanna's photography. Her creativity was evident in every photograph. Being that most of our family and friends were not there due to the distance, we really relied on Joanna to capture each and every moment. Her pictures were artistic and beautiful...more than we ever hoped for. I would recommend her to anyone getting married!!! Great job, Joanna!

    Joanna was fantastic!! We absolutely LOVE our pictures. She was able to capture both the beauty of the location of our wedding and the love we felt from everyone that day. Her presence is professional and comforting. She made us feel at ease every moment of the day. We are so so happy our pictures! Thank you Joanna!!!

    Of all of the vendors I dealt with, Joanna was the most responsive and professional. Beyond her stellar professionalism, her photos were stunning and truly captured the feelings and emotion behind the day. In my opinion, a great photographer is one who fades into the background. We rarely noticed her presence at times and those shots ended up being the best candid photos. I can't thank her enough!

    Joanna did an awesome job. She was recommended to us via, my wife Kelly's cousin and we were not disappointed. Her customer service, ease to speak with, and variety of photos were only a few of the positives, among the many, that will come with Joanna's photography. Both Kelly and I thank Joanna everytime we look at our wonderful wedding photos and hope that we will be able to use her services again for another special moment that both of us know she will be able to capture. 5 stars all the way.

    Joanna was a pleasure to have photograph our wedding. She made the experience that much more enjoyable! From the moment I first spoke to her on the phone to the day of our wedding, I had absolutely no doubt that she would be amazing. Our friends and family rave about her photography to this day and I will forever treasure the beautiful moments that she captured. Thank you, Joanna!

    The only feedback I could give would be that you were more assertive with the wedding party in getting pictures taken. I also forgot to put the entire wedding party on my list of pictures to be taken, it would have been great if you had mentioned that option before ending the night.

    Joanna Tano is a wonderful, local photographer who is able to blend aloha, creativity and professionalism to capture all the special moments of the best time of our lives.
    From the moment we met Joanna it felt like we we're already friends, family even. Joanna is an accomplished, highly professional, friendly artist who is quick to respond to any questions and concerns. My wife and I feel that we were blessed to have Joanna as our wedding photographer.

    We had a destination wedding in Maui, HI. My husband and I are from Arizona. Finding a great photographer was the most important aspect of our wedding planning because it is something we would have forever. I spent several months researching photographers online, and never was quite sold on any of them. Luckily, I came across Joanna's website on a florists blog. Immediately, I knew she was the one. I sent her an email and shortly there-after, she responded and asked if we could speak on the phone. Her professionalism and willingness to speak to me made me feel so comfortable with my decision. She even contacted me on Facebook. No other vendor I contacted took that step to get to know exactly what it was we were envisioning for one of the most special days of our life. Joanna went above and beyond every expectation we had. The pictures were absolutely breath taking. She captured the emotion of the day and the beauty of us and our surroundings. Joanna was incredibly flexible and allowed us to split up the three hour time into two days. We shot the day of our wedding and the morning after. She even took the time to go beyond and gave us unlimited photographs. I swear we have about 600 images from our wedding day all on a CD that she mailed to us, edited, shortly after the wedding. Joanna is no fuss and she doesn't nickle and dime you like several photographers out there. She even made a slide show of our images that played along to a Jason Mraz song that was so precious. Above all, Joanna is an incredibly happy and positive person, who knows her craft and constantly seems to be learning more every day. I 100% recommend her to anyone planning on getting married in Maui. My Husband and I could not have been happier with our experience with Joanna and the pictures that she captured for us.

    We decided on Joanna Tano Photography because we loved her style and her prices were fair. Joanna did an amazing job on our upcountry engagement shoot so I knew our wedding photos would be great. She had our photos back very quickly and they are absolutely beautiful. She captured many movements that we missed. My husband and I don't love getting our picture taken so I wasn't sure how they would come out, but Joanna made us feel comfortable so we look relaxed and so happy (which we were). In addition to beautiful portraits and candids, she also documented all the little details that made our day special. And although it's hard to do justice to a place like Olowalu, Joanna captured the amazing scenery. Joanna was also wonderful to work with - she's so friendly and responsive. I highly recommend Joanna Tano for your photography needs.

    Joanna was a wonderful photographer to work with for our wedding. I put her up to a challenging task - my husband HATES to be photographed and really only wanted candid "action" shots...I on the other hand, wanted some nice shots of the two of us, and needed some obligatory group/family shots as well. I also didn't want my photographer to be the focal point of the wedding, and super noticeable to the guests during the ceremony. Joanna was really willing to work with us on all of this, and kept the photo sessions as pain-free as possible for my husband. She took some wonderful candids that my husband really appreciated as well. Joanna has a great eye and captured some really spectacular moments - we were both very pleased with how the photos came out and she took so many good ones that we are still trying to choose which to put in our album!! I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone - she was a pleasure to work with and yielded great results!

    I've worked as a photographer myself (mostly on film sets), and half my close friends are international photographers and cinematographers; so I have a high standard for photographs, and I have to say Joanna is fantastic! My wife and I spent a lot of time researching photographers before we left, and Joanna clearly stands out from the rest.

    Her creativity and style show through in her stills instantly, and gave our wedding photographs a unique touch which stand out from the other "standard" wedding pictures we've seen.

    Not only are Joanna's photos amazing, but she is great to work with, fast and most importantly - she's discrete. She took hundreds of beautiful photographs on our wedding day, but was never disruptive, commanding, or impatient with relatives slow to assemble with group photos. Both her and her assistant carefully made sure to avoid being in the background of other peoples' photos and were in-observable during the ceremony, which allowed us to enjoy the special moments.

    If you're at all concerned about getting good wedding pictures, make sure you hire Joanna, it's probably the safest wedding decision you'll make.

    Joanna was great to work with. She answered all my questions. The photos came out beautiful. I received about 650 and hired her for 6 hours. She provided the online gallery about 3 weeks after my event, which was well within the contracted time.
