    Fantastic!

    Our photography team was absolutely incredible! My husband and I aren’t naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but they made us feel so relaxed and at ease from the very beginning. Their calm, fun, and professional energy made the entire day feel effortless and enjoyable. Not only are the photos stunning, but they captured every moment so beautifully while helping us stay present and truly enjoy our wedding day. We couldn’t recommend them more!

    Pure Magic Behind the Lens

    Our family photoshoot with Keoni was absolutely incredible, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. He is one of the rare photographers who is truly affordable while delivering high-quality, beautiful work that is worth every penny. Keoni is so kind and professional; he took the time to converse with us and really get to know our family, which made the whole experience fun and comfortable. He knew exactly how to pose us and find the best angles, and seeing the final photos made our whole family so happy. We are so glad he was able to capture these precious moments and we are even more excited to have him at our wedding in a few months!

    Attention to detail

    Friendly staff! Kpix has a great grasp of capturing intimate candids which was perfect for our setting. We can't help ourselves but say "take me back to that night" as we go through the beautifully captured moments. Thankful for their understanding of what we wanted highlighted. Good times and lots of pics of our dog lol

    “The Best Photographer for Our Dream Engagement in Hawaii”

    We are so grateful to Keoni for capturing our engagement session in Hawaii. He was easy to work with, so creative, professional, fun, and the final photos blew us away. Every detail and emotion was perfectly captured. Such a wonderful experience!! The final images truly highlight both our joy and the stunning Hawaiian landscape. Highly recommend for anyone looking for timeless, high-quality photos. These photos and memories will be cherished forever!

    Highly Highly recommend!

    Keoni was awesome to work with! Made us feel comfortable and at ease our whole day, we didn’t have think about what we’re doing or felt like we had to lead any shots/poses. Our photos came quicker than expected and we were so excited to finally print them!
    We cannot recommend Keoni enough and how well our experience went with him. We will definitely be using him in the future!

    High quality work, professionalism, and such an amazing photographer!

    We cannot thank Keoni and his team enough for capturing the beauty and magic of our wedding day! He has made the process so easy and stress free. My venue gave me a list of recommended vendors and had KPIX as one of their recommended photographer. Looking through their website and Instagram, I found KPIX work was the most suitable choice for the style we were looking for. I actually never met Keoni and his team until the day of the wedding, but he made us feel some comfortable as if it wasn't the first time we met. Keoni is so knowledgeable and experienced with wedding photography and was able to guide us through the whole process smoothly.
    Do not hesitate to choose Keoni as your photographer for your most important day! Their attention to detail and ability to capture special moments was beyond amazing. The photos turned out absolutely stunning and we cannot wait to share them with our family and friends. Thank you so much for everything, Keoni!

    Incredibly fun, professional, and kind - We are very fortunate to have worked with Keoni

    We had Keoni as our wedding photographer and he was absolutely fantastic. He was very fun, engaging, and enthusiastic and yet, he was professional and efficient. Keoni took a very active role in guiding us through our family and wedding party photoshoot. He also captured so many memorable moments of the whole wedding. The photos turned out amazing and we couldn't have asked for better!! Lastly, we wanted to highlight that Keoni is incredibly kind and gracious --- we hired Keoni through a third-party wedding organizer, and yet when there was some unfortunate pay dispute with the wedding organizer, Keoni was extremely patient and prioritized delivering our wedding photos while we worked out the details. I would definitely recommend Keoni, he is an amazing person and absolutely fantastic photographer!!

    The best in the business!

    Keoni was absolutely the best! We hired him for both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and he knocked it put of the park both times! I literally screamed when I saw the photos because of how amazing and dreamy they are! He made me and my husband feel so at ease during the shoots and is just a super nice, down to earth guy! He also got the photos to us in a record time. We can’t thank you enough, Keoni!

    5 stars :)

    Keoni is the best! He is super fun and so easy to work with. We’re usually pretty camera shy/awkward, but Keoni made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera throughout the whole wedding day. He’s also very creative and adventurous and the pictures came out AMAZING! There were so many pictures and they were all great quality. It will be difficult to choose which ones to use/print…they’re all so beautiful! On top of all that, he also delivered all the pictures so quickly (about 2-3 weeks)! It was such a joy working with him and we are so glad we picked KPIX!! Thank you so much, Keoni!

    Perfect Wedding Photographer

    We booked our wedding photography with Keoni and also got the photobooth add-on. He was the perfect hype man for the whole event and knew exactly what to do, where to go, and who to get. It went so fast and we had plenty of time between every part of our wedding! We got so many beautiful photos done before, during, and after the ceremony. You can tell he loves what he does and it shows in how excited he gets for good shots. He was funny and really made us comfortable during our photos (plus he's good with kids!) I'm so glad we went with KPix and recommend him to everyone!

    Keoni is great and we love our pictures!!

    We booked our engagement shoot and wedding with Keoni. We didn’t make an extra trip to Hawaii during our wedding planning process so we scheduled our engagement shoot 3 days before the wedding. It worked out great with us because we were able to get most of our nerves from being camera shy out of the way. Keoni is super friendly and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

    Keoni wasn’t intrusive on the day of the wedding and honestly was good company to have around during a high stress day. Same goes for his assistant, Mike. I didn’t realize how much time gets spent with photographers on the wedding day so their personalities matter as much as their work. We got along with them so well that our day wouldn’t have been as great without them.

    The pictures are beautiful and I’m so happy with how they turned out. The vibe of our wedding was perfectly captured and I feel like I’m reliving the day every time I look at them. Would definitely recommend!

    The Absolute BEST

    f you're getting married- you NEED Keoni as your wedding photographer! Keoni and his assistant, Mike, were absolutely incredible. They were both extremely professional, and were a lot of fun to have around- making both my husband and I feel very at ease. He captured our wedding day perfectly, without being intrusive at all. We were absolutely blown away when we received our photos (very quickly too- especially with the holidays!). Every single one is perfect. Keoni's vision and photography style is exactly what we were looking for. We are forever grateful for Kpix!

    Keoni is an Artist!

    Keoni came highly recommended by our vendor Cafe Julia. One look through his portfolio, I knew I wanted him as our photographer! I love the way he works with lighting and shadows, an absolute MOOD! Keoni took our engagement, tea ceremony, and wedding photos and I could not be happier in how they all turned out. Keoni was an a pleasure to work with and I cannot recommend him enough!

    Could Not have asked for a better team

    Keoni and his assistant Sean were our photographers for our wedding day, and oh my God!!! We could not be more happy! They are Soo easy and fun to work with, Keoni’s energy was upbeat and showed genuine happiness for us, and Sean was very calm, always had a smile on his face. They literally helped us feel so beautiful and be more in the moment, which made all the nerves go away and we really appreciated it.
    We got our photos back in a month’s time, which is very very quick in the wedding industry world. We are Soo Obsessed with the editing and how they all turned out. We could not have asked for a better media team! ❤️

    If you want a creative, incredibly talented photographer, go with Kpix!

    My fiance and I just returned from a trip to Hawaii where we had our engagement photoshoot with Keoni. One of the things that we loved the most about working with Keoni was his vibe. He created a relaxed, fun environment for the photoshoot while still maintaining a high level of professionalism. My fiance and I don't love being in front of a camera, but Keoni made it easy to just be ourselves while still knowing when to step in to provide us with creative direction when we needed it. Can't wait to work with him on our wedding day!

    I would definitely recommend Kpix to friends and family (and all you strangers reading this post on the internet :)).

    Keoni is the best!!!

    Keoni and his assistant, Mike, did a phenomenal job at our wedding. My husband has always *hated* having his picture taken, but Keoni was so fun and down-to-earth, that he ended up having a really great time with the photos. Keoni just has a great energy. You can tell he loves his work and has a vision in his head for each shot. We were blown away when we got our photos back after the wedding. They were everything we had hoped for and then some. Also—we had a instax photo guest book and ended up with extra film. Mike took the initiative of taking some photos with it at the reception, which was a sweet surprise when we looked through the guest book on the honeymoon. I feel like our day would have been vastly different with anyone else. Keoni was the perfect choice!

    High quality photos and professional, fun experience

    Keoni was recommended by our wedding coordinator, ABC. We could not have been happier with our experience! Keoni and his assistant Sean were friendly and put everyone at ease while also working efficiently to get their shots. They captured everything we wanted, including family portraits, candids, details, and romantic couple photos. I was especially happy with the candid shots that really captured the essence of each moment in a way that wasn't staged or posed. The photos are rich with color and absolutely gorgeous. The turnaround was also surprisingly fast -- we received the link to our edited photo gallery in less than a week. The gallery includes options to order physical prints or canvases.

    If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is professional, efficient, and truly has an artist's eye for light and detail, I highly recommend hiring Keoni.

    Awesome Photographer!

    Keoni at kpix did an amazing job at our wedding. He and his assistant Sean were awesome. They had a great vibe…super calm and friendly with our wedding party and guests. Most importantly, the photos were amazingly beautiful. They captured everything that we wanted, including really nice candids of the special moments of our day. Keoni also did really cool shots of us from afar that turned out to be really artistic. I highly recommend kpix if you are looking for a great photographer and excellent quality photos. We are really grateful for Keoni’s work and so happy that we hired him to capture our special day :)

    Can't Stop Looking at Our Photos

    My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Keoni for our wedding in December. We initially got in contact with Keoni due to his familiarity with our venue, Cafe Julia. We were so impressed with his responsiveness, kindness, and extensive portfolio. Choosing to book with Keoni was one of the best decisions we made in the entire planning process. He made capturing our love so easy, especially for two people who aren’t exactly fans of having our pictures taken. When we needed direction, he was happy to provide it. When we had ideas or requests of our own, he made it happen. We both appreciated how calm and easy-going Keoni and his assistant were for the entire wedding. I was having a very difficult time not freaking out about everything that needed to be done, but he helped me focus on what mattered. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. 10/10 Would recommend.

    Absolutely amazing!!

    Keoni was absolutely amazing to work with! Not only is he the nicest and coolest but he’s extremely talented at what he does. We first hired Keoni to shoot our engagement photos when we were visiting Oahu looking at wedding sites. He made us feel totally comfortable, as we had never done a photoshoot before, and the photos were so beautiful we knew he was the one to shoot our wedding. Keoni and his team really made our day and made the whole experience so much fun. Communication was easy and after we felt like we had made a friend. Keoni isn’t your run of the mill wedding photographer either. He has a special look to his photos and the images don’t feel staged or fake. Instead they are authentic, unique to the client and absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t be happier!

    Exactly what we were looking for

    We can't say enough great things about Keoni. He was exactly the photographer we needed for our special day!

    From the beginning, we decided that while good photography was important to us, we did not want to waste too much precious time taking pictures. This was no problem for Keoni, who captured beautiful photos of us and our family is mere minutes! He also did an amazing job capturing candid moments of our ceremony and reception.

    If you're looking for someone who is incredibly easy to work with, has an amazing eye, and who will help you look great, look no further!

    Yes, there is a perfect wedding photographer

    Anyone on the lookout for a wedding photographer based in Hawai‘i can stop looking. You found the best of the best with KPIX. Keoni might be the coolest person we have ever met and he is a true artist. We are able to relive our wedding day because he perfectly captured it, never have we been so happy with photographs. Keoni was very clear and prompt in all of his communications with us and made a point of connecting with us personally as well as upholding a very high professional standard. Not only did he and his partner capture EVERYTHING we asked for, they captured things we didn‘t even know we wanted. He and his partner were very organized and efficient, but still remained creative and spontaneous, it was amazing! They were incredible at organizing our families and made the family photo time fun and without stress. He was even a hit with our 10 month old niece. You should hire KPIX because Keoni is true professional artist, you need to hire KPIX because he is also a person you would want at your wedding. We give him the highest praise and recommendation possible!

    Absolutely perfect!

    Keoni was an absolute joy to work with. He was very easygoing and made the process fun for everyone. We appreciated that both him and Sean made us feel very comfortable while taking pictures. The day went by smoothly without any worries. To our surprise, Keoni sent us the finished edits not even one week after the wedding! The pictures were perfect and we loved every single one of them. 100% would recommend KPix to all our friends and family! :)

    Fun & Creative Artist - SO Excited to Continue Working With Him

    I found Keoni's website when looking for a photographer and was immediately captured by his style of photography. When booking him, he let us know about a special he was doing for a discounted engagement shoot (or photo booth) and we immediately knew an engagement shoot would be an opportunity to get to know him. We got our photos back today (not even ONE week after our shoot) and we are so so in love with them. He's very accommodating, professional but fun, and hilarious! His eye for photography is incredible, these pictures turned out nothing like (and way better than) I imagined. My fiance and I are not very photogenic or all that comfortable in front of a camera, but he made it so easy. Can't wait to see what he does for our wedding!

    So Talented!

    The most important thing besides talent is having the right kind of vibe around you, it will show in your photos. If funny, creative and chill is your vibe, Keoni will bring it! It was like having a friend hang with us all day and the moments he becomes inspired, they're always fun.

    I could talk endlessly about the gorgeous photos he took for both my engagement and wedding photos; the beautiful, romantic poses are great but what really drew me to decide on him in the first place was the energy behind his candid shots. Although we love a good photo with everyone looking at the camera with their eyes open, the ones I want to remember is when people don't notice. Time is fleeting and there's only so much I was able to capture inside my mind that I am so grateful that he was there and obviously enjoying himself as well to capture the moments that post wedding we were like "i wish someone got a picture of that!"

    I love how real all our photos came out and his use of lighting and editing, there wasn't a lot of "posed" moments. Although it felt like a dream, I didn't want any false notions of having a perfect wedding where every last detail was magazine worthy. It was the moments Keoni was able to capture that truly made it the best day of our lives and we wouldn't change any of it.

    I definitely recommend doing an engagement session with him, especially if you plan on having him do the wedding day. It's an engaging and fun hour that allows for you to understand his style and great practice for day of.

    Keony is a great photographer!

    It was very amusing to work with Keony. He was very friendly and easygoing so we could take photos in a relaxing mood. We did need it as we're nervous about the photoshoot in the beginning!! He guided us where to get pictures, how to pose, what items we can use for better pictures, etc., so we didn't need to worry about what to do during the photoshoot. The most importantly, the outcome was great!!! It was more beautiful than we expected and we're very satisfied with his work. I'd like to highly recommend him and we hope to work with him someday again.

    We loved our experience with Keoni. He was professional, talented and made us feel at ease during the photo session. Even with a baby and wiggly puppy, Keoni made us all look good!

    Simply stunning!!!

    My husband and I were FLOORED when we received our wedding pics from Keoni. They are so stunningly gorgeous, we don't know what to do with ourselves! Every single picture he took at our 9/9/21 wedding is priceless and we are beyond happy that we chose him to be our photographer! He is a very, very nice guy and so talented and creative. I would recommend him a thousand times over with no hesitation!

    great engagement shoot

    We decided to work with Keoni for our engagement photos. He is very professional, easy going, and knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of a camera. He guided us during the shoot and helped us with our poses (We were clueless! lol). We were very nervous, but he made it lots of fun!

    Initially, we were not sure where to do the photo shoot but we told him what look we were going for, and he was quick to offer suggestions, ideas, and pros/cons of possible locations.

    When we arrived, he was already waiting for us (he is very prompt). He came prepared with different cameras set up and even a drone!

    The photos came out amazing! His eye for portraits and getting the most out of the landscapes/background is incredible. His style of photography/editing is lovely! It doesn't appear too over-processed/exposed and the colors/lighting look very beautiful! Very flattering for our engagement shoot.

    Shooting with him was a great experience and we can't wait to have him at our wedding.

    My husband hates everyone. And he likes kpix

    My husband hates just about everyone (except me and his mama). He was mad that I went ahead and found a friend of my sister while we were on vacation in Hawaii. Our original plan was to have my little sister take our pictures so he would be a little more relaxed because he hates pictures. So after some coaxing and some wine he came around and we met Keoni at “cockroach cove” (I really couldn’t have made this less appealing)

    Well we get there and Keoni does his thing and behold, my husband is having FUN. He LIKES it. Ironically, another couple came out and was having their engagement photos taken as well... well, the photographer was literally placing them how he wanted them and it was awkward and weird. My husband turned to me and was like “thank god we got Keoni”. Truthfully thank GOD I went with him because we would have regretted anything else

    Once the photos came through we were SO happy with them. They literally couldn’t have been better. We felt like movie stars!! We promptly hired Keoni to do our wedding. We wouldn’t have anyone else.

    Amazing and talented photographer!

    My husband and I loved working with Keoni for our wedding photos. He listened to everything we asked for and took amazing photos with the most beautiful backdrops. He was a pleasure to work with and made us feel very comfortable, which was a plus because my husband and I are usually not the best with taking photos. Keoni was very professional, punctual, and gave the most reasonable rate for top notch photos. We highly recommend him!!

    Engagement Session

    Keoni is an excellent photographer with an even greater personality! He captures moments with such vibrance and warmth of life and love and was just what we’ve been looking for! Modern yet classy, clean, bright, fun, and romantic! I noticed he was based mostly in Hawaii but Seattle too, which was so ideal -- since our wedding is in Seattle, and I was already visiting my husband in Hawaii! I messaged him crossing my fingers that he would be able to capture both our engagement session and wedding, and he was very timely, flexible, and so helpful! Setting up and signing the contract w him was concise and convenient.
    Our engagement shoot was comfortable and fun, and the photos look so natural. We had so much fun chasing the sunlight with Keoni! It was a great preface to having Keoni photograph our wedding ceremony later this year! I highly recommend Kpix photography!!

    Best choice!!

    Amazing pictures and so easy to work with! I hate taking pictures and our engagement shoot was so fun. I could not wait to get our pictures back and was not disappointed at all. Keoni seriously takes GORGEOUS pictures, even the ones I didn't like myself in were beautiful. When looking for a photographer I fell in love with his lighting and could not be happier with my own pictures.

    Amazing engagement shoot!

    We really enjoyed our engagement shoot with Keoni. The location he helped us choose was perfect. We're not big photo-takers, but Keoni did a great job at guiding us through different poses in a way that was fun and relaxed. We're so happy with the resulting photos. They're a great mix of intimate and epic shots, with bold colors and fantastic lighting. Looking forward to having Keoni shoot our wedding!

    Wedding and day after wedding pictures

    I cannot express enough what a package deal it is to work with Keoni!!

    Not only is he an exceptional photographer with an eye for capturing the moment and creating a once-in-a-lifetime beautiful picture from someplace that from a normal eye would just bypass as a ordinary surrounding. They say that a picture is worth 1000 words, well that is exactly what his pictures conveys. Thanks to his pictures we can revisit the emotions, feelings and time slip back to that moment which is otherwise lost in our busy day to day life.

    Last but perhaps the most important aspect of our experience, Keoni is very easy to work with and my husband best captures this with his quote,“ I would love to catch a drink and hang out with him outside of this photo shoot.”

    We hope to ask Keoni for his services again in the very near future! Thank you again Keoni!!!

    Blissful Elopement

    Yes, Yes, Yes! Keoni is amazing. I am not the typical bride, I had no idea what I wanted or where, other than Hawaii. We did not have a typical wedding. I just wanted to be married to the love of my life. We did a very intimate elopement ceremony at Monoa Falls (Keoni's suggestion) and he helped capture every moment in the most perfect way. He is very kind, responsive, and helpful. I am a bit of a scatter brain, but he never left me feeling unsure. I told him the look we were going for and he made it happen. We wanted to run away and get married and he helped capture the fun and romance of the day for us to remember always. Definitely book with him, your pictures will be better than you imagine!

    Keoni is the best!

    Definitely recommend hiring Keoni. Keoni is super chill but definitely has a lot of talent! He was so easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable during the shoots.

    During the wedding day he was able to work around our videographers (as they were not so "chill"). We had a one bedroom suite to get ready but with 1 bride, 4 bridesmaids, 2 kids, MUA, Hair girl, 3 videographers, and 2 photographers you can imagine it got a little tight. He was able to work around everyone and everything that was going on. During the reception they were so out of the way that it seemed like they weren't even there, which makes me so excited to see all the candid photos that he captured.

    Our engagement pictures came out perfect and can't wait to see our Wedding photos.

    Engagement shoot

    Keoni was so great to work with. He was flexible when we were just flying in town to check out the venue and decided to do an engagement shoot. High quality photos and amazing shots. Made us feel very comfortable and he's so easy-going. We were worried about the weather, but he was very flexible in changing to another day if it was rainy or cloudy too. Would recommend him to friends and family.

    Easy and perfect

    We were looking for wedding photographers in hawaii and we stumbled across keoni's site and thought his photos were not only beautiful but he was actually pretty affordable compared to others. We are not a photogenic couple at all and in fact we hated taking photos but with keoni, he made it very simple and easy to work with. We received the photos quickly and we were sooo happy to share them with friends and family!

    Great pictures, great guy

    We saw the amazing nature-y backdrops and candids that they did, so we decided to use KPIX for our wedding. Great choice. Keoni was awesome to work with, and the pictures turned out amazing. He did great using his artistic judgment when we didn't feel like making decisions about what or where to shoot, and was completely accommodating when we had requests. Highly recommend.

    We loved working with Keoni and his crew! He was so easy to get along with and he made it less awkward being in front of the camera for me. He took our engagement and wedding photos. They honestly were like family at the wedding. So funny and awesome. I can’t even say enough about them! He was able to work with us on our destination wedding. We love love love the pictures! We feel like he was able to capture who we were and what we wanted. We were speechless when we saw them. Can’t wait to so them off! Don’t hesitate to call Keoni!!

    My husband and I came across Keoni's portfolio as one of the wedding photographer recommendations from our coordinator. Both my husband and I loved the style of his photos. We quickly booked Keoni for our norhtshore beach wedding last October. The process of booking was all done online professionally and efficiently. On the day of our wedding, Keoni and his assistant showed up on time at our wedding. He was friendly and very easy to get along with. I felt very comfortable, and so did my husband, who can get very awkward taking photos, esp with strangers. It felt like Keoni and his assistant were just our friends taking photos during the wedding. It rained on our wedding day, Keoni and his assistant were out in the rain doing their jobs. They were very professional and fun to be around.

    The photos turned out amazing. We are so in love with our wedding photos and got nothing but compliments from all our families and friends. They were truly beautiful and caught all the moments of our special day. We highly recommend Keoni and guarantee you will not regret choosing him as your wedding photographer.

    We hired Keoni Kitagawa for both our engagement and wedding photography. All of our photos turned out better than I imagined! Keoni is very easy to work with and made both experiences comfortable and fun for everyone. He is creative and considers the outcome of the photo, taking into consideration the scenery and lighting, before snapping it. He was open to our and our guest's suggestions and requests, and we never felt rushed. I definitely recommend his services and will hire him again in the future!

    Keoni was one of the first vendors that we picked for our destination wedding on Oahu in Sept 2017. Though there are a TON of options for photographers on the island and beyond, his style immediately caught our eye. It is fun and not stuffy, which is EXACTLY what we were going for.

    My husband and I have ever only had professional photographs taken of us by a local friend who did our engagement pictures, so we were a little nervous about having someone that we never met take pictures for us. Ultimately, that was a silly thing to be worried about, as meeting him the first time was completely comfortable for both of us. It was like we were old friends. He was funny, kind, professional, and a true pleasure to be around. He also didn't complain about us making a last minute additions to our package (sorry for the back and forth, Keoni!).

    The pictures speak for themselves. My parents are hard to please and after looking at them, my mom said, "so many of these shots are ones that I would expect to see on a movie poster!", which is basically the highest praise possible from her lol. I wouldn't change a single thing about choosing Keoni and would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a photographer on Oahu. He perfectly captured how our special day felt and we will forever be grateful to him. Keoni, holler at us if you are ever in Portland!! Mahalo nui loa!

    Keoni is the best Photographer on the island. He is so professional and his pictures literally take your breath away. He has a way of capturing the beauty of the couple and landscape at the same time. He’s so mindful of what YOU want. Some photographer get too artsy and it ends of being you paying them to be their muse but not with Keoni. He makes it his personal business to not only give you why you asked for but go beyond and give you those money shots as well. I would book him for every picture I ever need to take in life lol he’s that god!!

    We HIGHLY recommend Keoni & Kpix and are so happy we chose him to be our wedding photographer. We found Keoni on WeddingWire and were a little nervous to just pick someone from online (even with the great reviews). But we loved his work, the lighting, the natural and candid shots he did, and the sense of fun infused in all the photos on his website. So we took the leap.

    My (new) husband is super nervous in front of cameras. So I asked Keoni if we could meet ahead of time to just chat. Within a few minutes my husband was laughing and at ease, and I knew we were going to have a great wedding day.

    On the day of, Keoni and his second shooter, Ray, were punctual and ready to work, with cameras slung from both shoulders. My bridesmaids were teasing him the whole time. We always run on Hawaiian time but he was good natured about it and kept an eye on the clock (for our sake) and on the chance to take candid shots. He moved through the big group shots really efficiently (not easy with my family!) and on to the bridal party and then couple shots. We got in some sunset shots, too, on the beach, and some fun ones in the waves. (Totally worth it!)

    We also rented a photo booth through him, and it was a hit. There's actually a photographer who mans the booth, which was a plus. I put our guest book next to the booth and had people glue in one copy of the picture (the booth gives two hardcopies) next to their note. It's made the guest book an extra special memento.

    Everything about Kpix was superb, and the pricing is some of the best we found after LOTS of research. Plus, Keoni has a lot of experience doing fashion shoots, photo journalism, etc, and his skills in these other areas really showed because he got shots I don't know if other wedding photographers would have noticed or framed in quite the same way.

    BOOK KPIX!!!! We couldn't be happier, and know you will be, too!

    Keoni is truly an artist and it was great to watch him in action. He is able to see the beauty in nature and more importantly the light that will translate beautifully in photographs. He offers the best value with his packages and is responsive to emails.

    This review is long overdue but I have to say that Keoni is a wonderful photographer and extremely easy and flexible person to work with. We took our be-lated engagement photos during our honeymoon in Hawaii and personally selected Keoni (we were travelling from NYC). I loved the work on his website, really appreciated our conversational exchanges via email and telephone and everything leading up to the photo shoot was easy breezy. Keoni also provided us more photos than what was expected which was a wonderful surprise!

    I would hands down recommend Keoni and only wish he could have done our wedding shoot as well. :)

    Keoni was very patient and flexible in the early stages of our wedding planning. He was timely and kept in close contact before, during, and after our wedding. Keoni was very professional and tactful with his photography. I would definitely recommend him for your wedding. The photos came out looking fantastic and he was able to get them to us in a timely manner, not to mention his very affordable rates! Thanks again Keoni!

    Keoni is so easy and fun to work with. My husband and I really aren't great at having our photos taken, he especially hates it and feels awkward, I just don't think I am very photogenic. But our photos looked amazing and we didn't feel awkward at all, it was a lot of fun. There was even a slideshow with music. I am so happy we decided to go with Kpix. I would highly recommend Keoni to anyone. We received our online photos in less than a month, which is pretty good considering it was around the holidays.

    Keoni is an AMAZING photographer and he really knows how to capture that one shot. I really wanted photos that weren't "posed" and Keoni knew how to capture that. My husband is terrible at taking pictures (think Chandler and Monica) but Keoni still caught so many great shots, he's a genius. We also used Keoni's photobooth and it was a huge hit at our wedding. When I emailed Keoni asking for a couple photos to do our thank you cards, he sent 24 great options to us and did it within 4 days of us getting married!!! If you're looking for a photographer that's personable, friendly, reasonably priced, funny and EXTREMELY TALENTED, well then Keoni is your guy.

    If you want a photographer who has a knack for putting people at ease, rolls with the punches and comes through with amazingly beautiful pictures that capture all the genuine emotion of your big day, Keoni is your guy! My husband and I live in Seattle and were married at the Olympic Sculpture Park in October and Keoni flew out to shoot our wedding. Keoni was on time, friendly, responsive, etc. but those are things that I would expect from any photographer or vendor in general. What sets Keoni apart is that in addition to that, he brings so much more to his role as photographer.

    First, I am not someone who is really comfortable in front of the camera. Keoni never makes you feel forced or too posed. He has a talent for capturing the quick natural moments between people. Second, the weather on our wedding day was crazy. There was cloud cover, then an hour or two of beautiful sunshine and then pouring rain. He was constantly alert to where we should be to make the most of each situation. Lastly, he has the rare gift of being easy-going and relaxed without ever missing a detail. That's a rare combination and it really shows in his photography. We are truly grateful to Keoni for capturing our wedding day (it's true what they say, the day goes by in a heartbeat)!

    Keoni is the best photographer in Hawaii!! He's very personable, makes you feel comfortable and we shared lots of laughs. I spent ages trying to select a photographer and so glad we went with Kpix. Photos turned out even better than imagined. We did our engagement photos and can't wait for him to shoot our wedding next year. Make sure you book with Keoni. Highly recommend!!

    We LOVED working with Keoni! We planned a destination wedding, and without meeting in person, he made us feel so comfortable. He truly understood what we wanted--photos of people having fun. He truly captured everyone's personalities, and got amazing candid photos as well as beautiful posed pictures featuring Hawaii. We LOVED Keoni, and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a Hawaii based photog!

    My husband and I could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding at Cafe Julia at the YWCA. Keoni was extremely hard working and professional, and most importantly for me, kind, patient and FUN! He was also very adaptable, which is helpful on the Big Day, as things don't always turn out as planned or on time. He took us to a few spots he had scouted previously for our first look and pictures with the wedding party. We felt very comfortable and I think that was reflected in our pictures; they turned out beautifully and really captured everyone's personalities. He understood the style that we were going for, created a vision, and was able to turn it into reality so quickly. Cannot thank him enough!

    We were looking for photographers in Hawaii for a long time but so many of the photos looked the same until we found Keoni (kpix photography). We instantly fell in love with his photos and how different and creative they looked. When we got to talk to him over skype, we knew that we had to book him. He was so easy to talk to and helped us with problems that we probably wouldn't even had thought of until it was to late. We got our pictures after 4 weeks and they photos really captured our day in way that we didn't think possible. We recommended him to our friends who are getting married and they booked him for a engagement session and they look absolutely stunning too! A++

    There are so many wedding photographers out there, but I'm happy I chose Keoni from kpix photography. Not only did he make me feel comfortable in front of the camera, he made my husband come out of his shell and made it fun for him as well! Keoni has a great sense of humor and personality, which made it a fun day for everyone. He's also been doing photography for quite a while and because of that, I trusted him more with this important day. Price-wise he was a good value for the quality and variety of photos I received. I definitely will be using Keoni in the future for any of my photography needs and recommend him to everyone.

    My husband and I decided to get married on short notice this past April and we needed to find a photographer pretty quickly. We found Keoni on yelp and because of his rave reviews and his portfolio we decided to book him, he did not disappoint! He was very accommodating, especially considering we contacted him a couple weeks prior to our wedding. Our pictures were beyond stunning and he was such a joy to work with! The pictures were more than we could have asked for, if you're ever in need of a photographer in Oahu Keoni is your guy!

    I had a small chapel wedding with no bridal party and a small reception at a Japanese tea house. I booked Keoni alone, just a couple weeks prior, for four hours. He was efficient, affordable, friendly and professional. I was clear upfront that we wanted photos of PEOPLE. Facial expressions, moments, etc, and he sure delivered! He captured so many precious shots of our guests, parents, children, many beautiful memories I would never have gotten to see for myself.. and all the key parts of the ceremony were captured in real time without being obtrusive or distracting at all. The turn around was fast with great communication throughout, and delivered with an elegant personal touch. I highly recommend Keoni and don't doubt you will be any less than thrilled with the quality, deference to your requests, good taste, artful presentation and overall great experience of working with this fine gentleman.

    Keoni did amazing job from the moment we contacted him to the moment he delivered the photos. When we first saw his photos, we knew right away that he was different from all the photographers and knew he could give us crazy amazing photos. To be honest I was a little surprised at how affordable he was because most of the other photographers we looked at cost a bit more. He was so laid back and it seemed like he was one of our friends.

    On our wedding day he was prompt and helped us get everything we needed to get done even when everything became chaotic especially between my mom and our large wedding party. My dad even apologized at one point to Keoni but in the end I think Keoni handled everything just perfect. You can tell that he has alot experience to these events and GOD BLESS him for that!

    I can't rave enough about him or the GORGEOUS photos that he gave us but I am really thankful that I found him.

    Keoni did amazing work with our wedding photos!! We could not be happier with the result; the photos really captured the event and all the emotions. We felt like many of the photos were magazine quality. He was great at capturing candid moments, quirky/fun poses, and details. During the event he was very easy to work with - he worked efficiently and was self sufficient.

    In addition, Keoni was very prompt with getting our photos back to us. We have hundreds of great photos, and the editing on the photos was superb as well. We liked the various filters he chose. Our biggest problem is choosing which photos are the best, because there are so many great ones. I can't recommend him enough!

    We used Kpix photography for our wedding at the Hale Koa Hotel in Waikiki in March of 2011. I did a lot of internet searches before calling him. I really love his style of photography and his prices were great, but after we met him we knew he was our photographer!

    Keoni is really awesome! Very laid back but still professional! We felt very comfortable with him, it was like he was one of our family members- we were having such a good time. He took tons of pictures, but he didn't invade our privacy at all. He was also extremely mindful of what "special" pictures we wanted, and really just worked his magic! Our pictures came out so beautiful! I couldn't be happier, we are just two average people- not photogenic at all, but Keoni's pictures are just amazing!!

    I would recommend him to anyone! Thank you again Keoni!!

    We got married on December 11, 2010.

    We used KPix Hawaii as our wedding photographer, and let me just start by saying that Keoni was amazing!!!

    We researched countless photographers on our own. We also got recommendations on countless more from our wedding planner. Ultimately, we based our decision on each photographers' portfolio's, and particularly how we thought their photography style would match up well with our venue, which was a little unique. We wanted to incorporate the scenery and the layout, the nature, the backdrop, etc. while still maintaining a modern look and feel. After narrowing down our selection, our secondary criteria was price. Keoni was at the top of our lists on both!!!

    He was amazing to work with throughout the entire experience. Leading up to the wedding, he was very responsive to emails and inquiries; he was extremely professional. On the day of the wedding, he showed up early and made time to chat with the bride, groom, as well as the wedding party; he did a walkthrough of the area (I'm assuming to get a feel for the venue - the angles, the backgrounds, the artistic elements that require a trained eye to notice). He captured the entire day from preparations all the way through the reception. We emailed some picture ideas/requests to Keoni in the week leading up to the wedding; he incorporated all of our requests for specific shots that we wanted (and we had some unique requests). He knew when to pull us away for photoshoots, yet he wasn't intrusive at all. He was extremely accommodating throughout! He was very easy to work with, very personable, and very professional.

    And to add to all that, less than 12 hours after the wedding, we get an email from Keoni sending over about a dozen pictures, for us to use for 'thank-you' cards, holiday cards, facebook photos/updates, etc. while we wait for the rest of the photos! That was a nice touch to cap off the extremely high level of service that he provided! As for the photos themselves - they looked amazing! We can't say enough about how satisfied and impressed we are with the overall experience!

    Suffice it to say, Keoni was one of the shining stars of our wedding, as far as wedding vendors are concerned! Without reservation would give our highest recommendation to KPix Hawaii!!! And we absolutely intend on using Keoni's services again in the future!

    My husband and I are from California and chose to get married in Hawaii but knew that finding a photographer to capture all the moments of our wedding day would be a task in itself, next to planning the wedding. I found Kpix and was instantly impressed. His website had great artistic pictures and he seemed to have a great "eye" for capturing moments.

    We decided to meet with Keoni for an engagement photo session on a "research trip" to the island to see how he worked. He was on time and completely professional. My husband really doesn't like to take pictures but even he had fun. We acted like ourselves and didn't do any phoney poses. And we loved the fact that we had the outdoors as our backdrop (the photoshoot was by a lighthouse trail). In receiving our proofs, we were able to see immediately that Keoni was able to capture our silliness and our love for each other. He was incredibly easy to work with as well and allowed us to come up with artistic pictures! We knew immediately after the photo shoot that we wanted Keoni to photograph our wedding day.

    On our wedding day, Keoni was on time, professional and was really able to capture more memories than I thought possible. He wasn't pushy or overbearing. He let the day go on exactly how we wanted it to (not pulling us aside for "assigned" pictures, etc) and was there to photograph any and every moment that we wanted.

    I would have to say that Keoni made my wedding day stress free (minus the traffic part!). Knowing that I value pictures greatly, I was able to put my trust completely in his hands. He was there from the very beginning of the wedding process to the very end. Much mahalo Keoni!!

    I cannot say enough about Keoni and the Kpix team. His style and attitude toward our wedding was aces. We were traveling from the East Coast and coordinating with him was truly seamless. He was able to steer us in the right direction having not much experience and we could not be happier. If you are looking for great photos with an artistic genuine edge I highly recommend Kpix and Keoni.

    My fiance and I are from Singapore and we were looking for a destination engagement photoshoot since I am working short-term at Oahu. I was recommended by my friend to engage Keoni's help as he was her wedding photographer and she had high praises of him. Checked out his instagram and website and his pictures were the style that we were looking for at a very reasonable price range. Emailed him and after a couple of exchanges, we were set to have him as our photographer. As we were not familiar with Oahu, we shared our preference to have a shoot at 2 locations (forest & beach/sea) and he suggested that Manoa falls and Makapuu (later changed to Lanai lookout) and we went along with it. The photoshoot was fun! Keoni was friendly, and he made us feel comfortable and we were totally at ease. He guided us with poses but nothing too cheesy or forced, so we were very much ourselves. The places that he suggested were superrrr beautiful, so it was a tour and a photo shoot for us. The photographs turned out awesome and we (including family & friends) love every pic that he took. Keoni is highly recommended :)

    We loved Kpix!

    We couldn’t be happier with our decision to choose Keoni (and co-photographer Mike V) for our wedding! We wanted something different than the usual cookie-cutter wedding shots, and Keoni delivered in the most incredible way.

    His creativity blew us away. He found the most unexpected angles, used natural light in the dreamiest ways, and captured candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Every photo tells a story, and together they feel like a beautifully crafted visual narrative of our day.
    And wow—the results speak for themselves. We’ve had so many people tell us how incredible our wedding photos turned out.

    If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also genuinely passionate about making your vision come to life, Keoni is the one. His work is more than just photography—it’s art.
