    Beyond Expectations!

    My husband and I are extremely happy with our experience working with Mike and Hiko. They are very friendly and professional. They were very helpful at suggesting locations and poses and hyping up the crowd for group photos. Their editing skill is great too! We are VERY happy about our wedding photos. Our family and friends think the photos are well done also. We highly recommend Mike Pham Photography!!

    Would definitely recommend!!

    Mike was perfect for our wedding and our photos were stunning! We initially met with him for an engagement shoot to make sure we were comfortable and quickly confirmed we wanted to book him for the big day. He's so friendly, relaxed, and approachable. My husband and I weren't used to taking professional photos and posing but Mike was so easy to work with and helped us feel less awkward. We wanted a mix of posed and candid photos. The candids were really wonderful - you can feel the emotion behind them - and we were so happy to see how they turned out. Mike also did a great job of ensuring the background of beautiful Hawaii was featured, but didn't overshadow the people in the photos.

    Mike is awesome both as a person and as a photographer! He was so easy to work with, made sure we were comfortable, and was able to capture the day perfectly. He also worked very well with all of our other vendors to make sure he wasn't in their way, but was still assertive enough to get the shots that he wanted. I can't recommend Mike and his team enough, you are in great hands with him!

    Mike Pham was our wedding photographer and he was amazing! Wedding days are usually stressful, especially for the bride, but Mike has a calm, light-hearted, and easy-going demeanor which put me and my husband immediately at ease. He was actually our first vendor to show up on the wedding day, even before our day-of-coordinator and make-up artists. He was such a pleasure to work with that our wedding guests were even complimenting on how nice he was. We also loved the style of his photography because that fun, light-hearted spirit flowed through into our pictures which were not only romantic, but also playful. Prior to our wedding, Mike was also very helpful with wedding tips and suggestions to make the wedding day run smoother. Given Mike's experience in Hawaii, he's been to multiple wedding venues and so knows the best spots and angles to get the perfect picture, especially tricks on capturing that infamous Hawaii sunset wedding photo. My husband and I would recommend Mike to anyone who is looking for a professional photographer. You won't regret it!

    We met Mike at the Wedding Café Workshops and decided to meet with him separately to get to know him better. He’s very professional yet easy going and matched us perfectly. We felt comfortable around him and could easily be ourselves. We felt that this was very important as we wanted our photos from our wedding day to reflect the couple that we are.

    Our worries were put to rest on our wedding day when Mike did exactly what we thought he’d do…he made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera. He didn’t make us do any poses that didn’t feel natural to us and captured the most natural moments of the two of us. Looking at the photos we received it’s clear to me that Mike and his team were able to capture us as a couple in photos and I’ll cherish that forever.

    And our wedding wasn’t the easiest… we had really beautiful weather but it was tremendously hot! Mike and his team were quickly working to make sure they captured every moment of our day. They were doing everything and anything to get the shot…dripping in sweat, but zero complaints. I admire their ability to keep the energy level high, people smiling and all the while keeping us on our timeline. Mike and his team are hard-working, dedicated and passionate about what they do. I would highly recommend him to others who are looking for a team that can offer just that.

    The tremendous service didn’t stop on our wedding day. We received our photos in a timely manner and it was delivered to us in beautiful packaging. Packaging that exemplifies what Mike Pham Photography is all about… professional, top notch and the best!

    Thank you, Mike for everything! We couldn’t have enjoyed our experience with you more.

    Though there are many talented photographers on Oahu, Mike Pham truly stands out. When my hubby and I began our search for our wedding photographer, we knew we needed someone who was responsive to emails (it drives us totally bonkers when people don’t respond timely), wasn’t unreasonably priced, and whose style was photojournalistic. Mike is all that and a bag of sweet maui onion potato chips!

    From the time we sent him the first email (inquiring about pricing and availability) to the last (thanking him for our lovely wedding photos), Mike was quick to respond, super friendly, and answered our many many questions. We love his photography style and thank the heavens that he wasn’t out-of-this-world pricey. We were pretty nervous as we sifted through his portfolio and worried that we wouldn’t be able to afford him, but Mike’s prices are very reasonable. :)

    Mike was nice enough to meet with us before our big day and let us know it was okay that we are kind of awkward in front of a camera. He reassured us that he would provide us with ample direction, but would still keep it natural and organic. He definitely delivered on our big day. Mike and his crew showed up right on time and proceeded to divide and conquer. Mike came up to the bridal suite and his second shooter went down to the groomsmen’s room to begin snapping pics. Mike and his crew were very professional and kept us on schedule for photos all day and night. He had so many fun photo ideas and just genuinely loves what he does — and it really shows. The end result is an album full of photos we will treasure for a lifetime.

    About 2 months after the wedding, we received the link to the online gallery, followed by a USB of all the photos and some select prints which arrived in a beautiful wooden box. Mike captured our day exactly as we want to remember it and we are so lucky to have been able to work with him.

    Mike Pham is awesome! We first met Mike himself at the wedding cafe prior to deciding who to use for photography. I immediately loved his artistic style of photography and Mike's personality is great! Super nice guy, someone you instantly love! Communicating with Mike is easy as Mike is very efficient and dependable. Mike and his other photographer arrived on-time for the wedding day and immediately started taking photos. He and his staff are truly hard workers. Mike was even getting down on his knees to make sure the wedding dress was just right. They all worked so hard and even stayed later than planned, which we are very grateful and appreciative for. Can't wait to see the photos.

    Mike is absolutely excellent! The hardest worker of all our wedding vendors, his passion for photography exudes out of him. While photography may be one of the more costly expenditures of your wedding, you will not regret choosing Mike. He has an amazing, artistic eye... But more importantly, he is a good person! He puts you at ease through the entire process. Extremely professional in how he conducts himself. Always willing to go above and beyond to make your special day great!

    Mike and his crew are amazing. He emails, calls and is very attentive when you're in the lead up to the wedding. I planned my destination wedding from Melbourne, Australia and I had a million questions as I'd only been through Honolulu once before. Mike helped me visualize everything and answered questions about weather, certain shots on the day, and a whole lot of other things. On the day, he's calm, knows what he's doing and is very efficient. His website and blog speak for itself. I love the photo-journalistic style and was so pleased with the way my photos turned out. I'll post photos of the box in which my photos arrived. Great presentation!

    We used Mike Pham to photograph our wedding recently and were very very pleased with him and his crew. He was so much fun, made us feel relaxed, got to our hotel early, was even great with children, and we felt like he truly wanted to do a great job and loved his profession. Its so important to feel comfortable with your photographer and Mike is so easy to get along with and to speak to. He seemed to know what he was doing and did it quickly. I would definitely recommend him!

    Mike and his staff are very easy going, laid back and still able to maintain that professional touch. We loved his style and he was very friendly and always smiled, which in turn made you want to smile which was great for the pictures! He also had great ideas for shoots especially for our engagement pictures which were just priceless! If you are looking for a great photographer at a great price, look no further than Mike Pham!

    Mike was actually the very first wedding vendor I booked. Having him do our wedding photography was actually the only thing we were 100% sure of when we first started planning. His style of photography is so distinctive & timeless. He's really easy to work with, friendly, and professional. I'd highly recommend him!

    I highly recommend this photographer! Mike and crew were so great! His style is very natural and relaxed. We had a great time during the photo session. And the end results were amazing! Go take a look at some of his work on his website and you'll agree that it's fantastic. All of my family and friends loved the photos.

    We had the pleasure of working with Mike for our wedding last week and we were SO happy with our choice. He was 100% professional, but also laid back enough that we felt completely comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Our picture schedule was thrown off due to unexpected rain, but he was completely flexible, and worked hard to help us get in the beach shots we wanted despite the weather! You can tell he truly loves what he does.

    Plus, extra important for brides, he was EXTREMELY responsive to all my e-mails in lead-up to the big day. I had a number of random questions come up and he always replied in a timely manner, and even called me the day before the wedding to check-in.

    I can't wait to see the final pics to give a final review, but based on our experience so far I would definitely recommend him! Follow-up to come!

    Mike is the best! It doesn't get any better people!

    We had our destination wedding on Oahu in November and picked Mike Pham as our photographer after sifting through a seemingly endless supply of wedding photographers. I'm pretty particular about photography, and Mike's style really stood out to me. The composition, the angles, the lighting...it all ends up as pure art. With those lenses of his, Mike captures the emotions of every scene and the intricacies of every detail.

    Organizing a destination wedding can be a bit stressful at times, but Mike put us at ease with his fast and complete communication...giving us the low down on all the spots we had in mind for photography sessions, etc. On our wedding day, his professional and uber-friendly attitude put us at ease yet again. We ended up having tons of fun working with Mike and his assistant Brandon on our big day....and we think the photos prove this. :)

    Mike's photos came out awesome (even co-workers have cried looking through our photos)! His prices are truly reasonable. He's professional, very accommodating, patient and tons of fun to work with. We really couldn't ask for more! Mike is the man!

    Mike, YOU THE MAN!!!! We were lucky enough to use Mike and his photography skills twice, for our engagement session, along with the big day. After seeing the outcome of our engagement photos, the wife and I were super excited on having Mike do our wedding.

    He's a fun, professional, and talented individual who can see the perfect shot at any given time. We were posing in front of store's, middle of Kalakaua Ave, and the shot turned out phenomenal. He's more than flexible on your schedule, and will work with any budget. We thank you for everything, and glad we experienced Mike Pham Photography!

    Mike,

    Thanks for making my wedding so beautiful and memorable!! The pictures captured everything... if not more than we had expected! The candid pictures were magnificent. One of the most important days of our lives were made into beautiful, breathless art work. They were just amazing! I could not have asked for more. Your professionalism, smile, and hard work made it very enjoyable for us to work together!! God bless and thank you again for what you did for us!!

    Excellent!!! Mike Pham was outstanding in every facet. He was extremely helpful, kind, and accommodating throughout our wedding day (as well as during the planning phase weeks prior). His gentle and easy-going approach compliments his fine attention to detail. Our guests were also impressed with his kindness and professionalism. He went out of his way to make our day fun and relaxed. And he was so quick in providing us our photos, which came out perfect. We couldn't be happier. Emphatically recommend Mike Pham if you are looking for a quality photographer in Hawaii.

    I had been following Mike Pham's blog for a while. I loved looking at all the pictures he showcased. So, from before we even got engaged, I had plans for Mike Pham to take our engagement and wedding photos. I was so excited to have him take our photos, he was the first vendor we booked, even before we selected a hotel!!! I did not want to miss this opportunity to have him take our photos. Mike Pham is the very best in what he does. You will not be disappointed with your photos. He was (and is) kind, smart, artistic, super accomodating, and extremely patient, even when I was the biggest Bridezilla. We looooove and treasure alll of our photos. We can never thank him enough for all that he has done and the beautiful pictures he has given us.

    Mike and his staff were very friendly and professional. He answered every question we had from timeline of the wedding day to photo shoot locations. He was very prompt to answer our emails and phone calls. The cost of his service and the quality of his work are AMAZING!!! We not only did our entire wedding day with Mike Pham but also two engagement sessions. We received our photos roughly a 3-4 weeks after our wedding day giving us plenty of time to send out our "Thank You" cards. We still talk to Mike till this day and hopefully we'll be able to aquire him for our daughter's 1st Birthday! Thanks again Mike for capturing our most memorable day, something we'll cherish for the rest of our lives. Jennifer and Jonathan Shin
