  Beautiful Photos that will last a lifetime! Thank you!

  Ka'ua was the most amazing photographer! He listened to our vision, took the most amazing photos, and captured all of the special moments throughout the ceremony. We will recommend Ka'ua to all other brides looking for a photographer in Maui, HI.

  Ka'ua = Aloha. :) He was the perfect wedding photographer for us. He was so great to work with. We all felt very comfortable and he blended right in with our family and friends. He has a God given gift that shows through in how well he captures each moment. When we received our 'sneak peek' pictures we were completely speechless. Each time we'd swipe to a next picture we'd be like, Oh wow that's a really nice one then next, Oh my gosh this is a really nice one too! It never ended!!! We have so many compliments on all our pictures! We definitely made the right choice! These memories are going to live with us forever. We're so happy with such great quality and outstanding service.

  My husband and I were lucky enough to have Kaua and Kevin as our wedding photographers. They both are so easy to work with and not only produce amazing photos but are AMAZING people and you will be put at ease just talking to them! They were able to capture every little detail of our wedding and blended in well with our wedding guests. We loved having them present on our wedding day and cannot thank them enough for the beautiful pictures we will enjoy for years to come!

  I am so thankful my wedding planner found Kaua. He is such a wonderful person and easy to work with. He puts you at ease and takes amazing photos. I could not have asked for a better photographer for our special day. I highly recommend Kaua you won't be disappointed.

  We looked at a lot of wedding photographers on Maui before we found Ka’ua. The quality of his work just shone, and we immediately wanted to meet him. We had a holiday a year previous and were able to meet him in Hana, he even took some photos of us on the beach for fun – they were gorgeous.
  Not only is Ka’ua got a lovely soul and we connected easily with him, he also has a very natural approach to photography – no awkward poses, or cheesy compositions – he captures whatever is happening in that moment – which made us feel at ease and relaxed.
  .
  
  I’ve just returned from our honeymoon and have received some samples of the full album from him and every photo is fantastic. We love all the photos, he has a natural style and captures intimate moments in every shot. Its actually made it difficult for us to choose one for our thank you cards. One of my colleagues remarked that many of these photos are so beautiful they belong in a bridal magazine!
  Thank you Ka’ua for our down to earth spirit, beautiful photos and fantastic eye for the emotional and real photos!

  We were more than thrilled with the work of Kaua and his team. Previewing his work on his website it was clear to us that Kaua was incredibly gifted at capturing unique moments. When we got to see the photos from our wedding, we were over the moon with the quality of each beautifully composed image. Kaua is very affable and professional and he and his team are very responsive. Chris & I wholeheartedly recommend Kaua to capture your special day! We know you will not be disappointed and better yet, I am sure he will exceed your expectations!

  We absolutely LOVED working with Kaua! Not only is his work amazing, he himself is an amazing person to work with. Finding the right photographer you can rely on to capture the essence and beauty of a wedding can be a stressful task for any bride--especially for a destination wedding. But after just a few moments with Kaua, we knew we were in good hands! He works masterfully with angles and lighting to capture moments in the most creative and elegant ways possible. We loved the way he interacted with us and our guests to make us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire wedding. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how much they loved our photographer! He captures emotion at its purest and most candid moments, so that when you look back, you can easily relive those precious moments. Kaua definitely helped make our day feel even more special, and we're so incredibly happy with our choice of using Kaua as our photographer to capture one of the most important days of our lives. We highly recommend him!

  Kaua was an absolute delight to work with during the planning process and also on the day of our Olowalu Plantation House wedding! He took our engagement photos when we traveled to Maui to meet our vendors. I had been up in the air between a few photographers and wanted to feel really “sure” about my choice since their aesthetics were pretty different. After talking to Kaua about what I had envisioned- he NAILED the engagement shoot. Our pictures are pretty epic and very special. He is truly a photography ninja- obviously there were portrait shots that we were aware of, but he also captured so many spontaneous moments throughout the day. He was never intrusive- such a kind and warm personality to have on your wedding day. My husband doesn’t like to smile with his teeth, and Kaua was able to nab a few shots of a full on smile! He works a lot with our wedding planner- Lori from Tropical Maui Weddings, so we got an awesome deal on our package. Not only is he very reasonable with his pricing, he delivers the highest caliber work. I am ecstatic with our photos- he’s already sent us a sneak peek of the final wedding album, and if that’s all I ever see- it’ll be enough. We have too many good shots to choose from! What a great problem to have!

  Kaua is really awesome. I planned my wedding from the mainland and the entire process was super easy and stress free. Kaua is really laid back and easy to talk to. I was worried I might be awkward in front of the camera, but he makes you feel completely comfortable. He makes different suggestions for poses and settings, and just captures beautiful shots. I've only seen the preview so far, but I am super impressed and can't wait to get the final shots. I would recommend Kaua to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in Maui :D

  We had an amazing experience with Kaua Photography!! It started with a get to know each other Skype date… That told us that Kaua cared very deeply for his clients & their desires, but we weren't prepared for just how creative he is or the clever little details he captured of our wedding day! Our wedding pictures look like they should be sold with the frames in the stores! Absolutely spectacular!
  
  We are thoroughly pleased with our experience & we would highly recommend Kaua Photography to anyone getting married in Hawaii!

  Kaua did such an amazing job at our wedding I'm beyond words! He was everywhere and captured all the right moments at all the right times. He's very down to earth and just great to work with. I didn't feel posed at all and everything just felt so natural - the end results looked that way too. We got almost 200 previews with watermarks within DAYS of the wedding (amazing, who does that?!) and my final product in colour, antique, black and white versions 2 months later. I'm so glad we chose Kaua. Friendly, responsive and professional. Thank you for being awesome, Kaua!

  Kaua shared a unique journey with us as our wedding photographer and he will always hold a special place in our hearts! The journey began in Maui when my now husband was planning to propose and hoped to capture the moment on film. He called around the island and was given the recommendation of Kaua. He then proceeded to coordinate with Kaua to secretly meet in Hana at a breathtaking waterfall that Kaua suggested. The proposal went off without a hitch and Kaua took the most beautiful candid photos we could have imagined, but we didn’t stop there! We loved Kaua’s work so much that we had to have him for our wedding shots on the big day…So we flew him to the San Francisco Bay Area where he was not only our wedding photographer but an honored guest! Kaua is a true professional. He knows exactly what to capture and his artistic eye is unparalleled! He is truly a genius! I looked beautiful in every single photograph he took and our wedding pictures are nothing short of amazing! Everyone swears it was the best wedding they have ever been to and Kaua was able to capture the spirit and the beauty of our joyous event from start to finish with fantastic flair! I recommend him to anyone who wants stunningly beautiful photographs and magical moments captured on film. It will be the best decision you make in planning your event!

  Kaua was AWESOME!! He was so easy to work with and we had so much fun working with him!! We were married in Maui and before we even left the island we had recieved 105 "teaser" pictures from our wedding!! They're amazing, we loved every single one of them, and I (the bride), never like pictures of myself!! I would chose to work with Kaua again in a second and would most definitely recommend him to anyone wanting a photographer for their special day!! He's very professional but also so easy going, he'll give you suggestions for pictures but he's amazing at getting picture that you don't even realize he's taking!! Pictures are such a huge part of you wedding day and I'm so happy we chose Kaua for our photographer!!

  I must say Kaua is one of the most talented photographers I've ever seen. He has such an amazing eye and is so easy to work with. He gets the natural and candid photos as well as posed photos and they come out amazing!! He doesn't put you in any awkward poses too which is great! I'm not a fan of those. He just tells you to walk over there and act natural and then...MAGIC!! Seriously... Magical pictures!! I will cherish them for a lifetime and cannot thank him enough. Worth every penny and highly recommend!!!

  I can't recommend Kaua enough!! The photos he took were beyond what we ever expected. He has an eye for stunningly beautiful photos. He worked so hard all night and made all of us feel very comfortable and at ease. He was friendly and wonderful to work with as was his editor Kevin. His work is outstanding and he captured our wedding day perfectly!!

  If permitted 10-Stars, that is what I would give Ka'ua Wedding Photography. I’m still grinning ear-to-ear after viewing the wonderful images of our special day.
  
  We were seeking a photographer able to capture the spirit and essence of our day without looking staged – someone with an eye for special moments, gestures and encounters – which we found with Ka'ua (who was introduced to us by our coordinator, Fay Hovey of Aloha Maui Weddings). We wanted images of us – and our guests – laughing, wiping away tears, making silly faces, eating, drinking, dancing and expressing happiness, and that is precisely what Ka'ua gave us. His emphasis on genuine emotion, rather than staged shots, is what truly sets him apart from other wedding photographers.
  
  I’ll add that, as a person uncomfortable in front of the camera (and not very photogenic) I honestly cannot thank Ka'ua enough for his talent and approach: never did I feel put on the spot, staged or awkward. Kaua has a gift for putting people at ease, snapping his photos quietly and discreetly, and in my opinion capturing the most special moments of the wedding – those instances when our guests (and I) were simply savoring the day. Looking at the album today, he made me – and everyone – look beautiful.
  
  We are extremely happy with our selection of Ka'ua for our wedding photos. He is a gracious, easy-going, highly skilled photographer with a talent for photos that are natural, flattering and most important: FUN.
  
  Photography was our most important wedding expense, and I absolutely feel like we received tremendous value. Ka'ua sets the bar for wedding and event photography.
  
  Thank you, Ka'ua, for such treasured photos, and for being a part of our day!

  We had the pleasure of having Kaua as the photographer at our wedding at the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua in January, and we could not have been more pleased. Kaua is an exceptional professional in his field, as well as a warm, friendly person, and the combination of his skill and personality makes him an absolute delight to work with. I was a VERY nervous bride, and his professional, yet very easy and charming demeanor really helped to set me at ease. I am certain that if we had a different photographer that our photos would not have turned out nearly as beautiful, as I would have been much more nervous.
  
  What impresses me the most about our wedding photos, is the beautiful variety of images Kaua produced. While many wedding photographers pigeonhole themselves into one particular style, Kaua's range of skill allowed him to provide us with every type of image that we could have hoped for. Many photographers who take personality filled photojournalist style photos simply can't produce the dramatic landscapes and styled photos that Kaua also captured. When I look through our wedding images, we have it all, from family members caught in the moment laughing, to dramatic landscapes of us on an oceanside cliff, to fashion magazine quality bridal portraits in front of a water fall.
  
  If you are considering Kaua for your wedding photographer, I not only highly recommend that you use him at your wedding, but I also recommend that you book a Trash the Dress photo shoot with him in his native Hana. The photos from our Hana trip are among our favorites, and the Hana photo shoot experience is a special memory that my husband and I will cherish forever.

  Our wedding photos are our memories, and thanks to Kaua we have the most beautiful memories of our wedding day. I still have not made it through our photo slideshow without crying (as I did on our wedding day) because of the overwhelming joy that I felt. I feel it every time I see the photos. Kaua somehow managed to capture all the emotions that were there with us that day. Not just ours, but those of everyone around us too. On the day, and at the honeymoon shoot, he was wonderful to work with. He let us be ourselves, and in doing that was able to create photos which show real joy rather than awkward smiles when posing for a camera. Having our photos done by Kaua let us have fun and enjoy ourselves on our wedding day. It was natural and beautiful and now the photos reflect that. Kaua is also an extremely likeable individual, so we were grateful he was able to be a part of our day. We cannot express just how appreciative we are for what he has done for us. All you need to do is watch the wedding slideshows of his work and you will be hooked. I would and have recommended that anyone getting married in Maui have Kaua help them to make memories of their wedding day as amazing as ours.

  Kaua was one of the few wedding photographers recommended to us by our wedding planner. After speaking with all of the photographers and checking out their individual websites we knew Kaua was the right choice for us. Admittedly, my husband and I have never been fans of being in front of the camera. So naturally that was a concern prior to our wedding! However, all of those fears evaporated quickly after meeting and working with Kaua. His big smile, calming presence and upbeat personality really drew us in and allowed us to be comfortable and relax. We never once felt posed or intimidated by the knowledge that a camera was following our every move.
  I can’t say enough nice things about him as a person and his approach as a photographer. His two part approach captured moments at our wedding that we never would’ve seen from that perspective and therefore would’ve never experienced. We are both still in awe of our photos, and how they perfectly captured the essence and spirit of our wedding.
  We will never be able to thank Kaua enough for not only preserving but capturing our wedding the way that he did. Thank you!!

  Kaua is hands down the best photographer in Maui. Kaua answered all of our questions or concerns before our wedding day. He has a very kind and warm personality about him that makes you feel comfortable the minute he walks in. Kaua has an amazing eye for capturing the joy and happiness you feel on your wedding day. All of our pictures are amazing and everyone who see's them says the same thing.
  Thank you Kaua for making our memories last a lifetime.

  We can't say enough great things about Kaua. I knew when I spoke to him, that his personality would mesh so well with our wedding party and guests. He was a joy and pleasure to work with. He's relaxed and laid back which makes everyone else around him the same way. His communication via email and phone were always responsive, and he also arrived early at our wedding. He's so creative and a true artist. You'll be amazed by the photos and moments he captures. We would recommend Kaua to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.
