    Amazing Photography and Awesome Service!


    VIVIDFotos is awesome! When we reached out to them, we were thick in the tumultuous world of COVID days, haggardly planning amidst our third date change. We needed another photographer, and VIVIDFotos was accomodating and understanding of our request. They were also flexible with our various changes, be it switching venues, adding on a last-minute hour of photography, or dealing with sudden outdoor gathering restrictions!

    On the day of the wedding, Melissa was fantastic. When the shooting location we originally planned on taking photos in fell through, she thought of another place for us to take photos. Though neither me or the groom have posed much for pictures before, she managed to get us and the wedding party comfortable and loosened up through all the photos. She also captured every detail of the day of, from stills of the decor to candids of the reception! When we received the photos, we were floored by how beautiful it all looked, as well as how promptly we received them! We absolutely recommend VIVIDFotos to capture your wedding!

    VIVID Fotos does really amazing work in their photography and videography! Our engagement and wedding photos were so epic and beautiful! Mel and her team were so fun and easy to work with and the whole team was so professional and organized! Our same day edit was so beautiful we all cried happy tears!

    Perfect from beginning to end!

    VIVIDfotos is truly the best! We were familiar with their work because they did a few of our friends weddings and we knew right away that we loved their style. Our Same-Day Edit video was so perfect and our guests loved it! They captured so many beautiful photos, we love them all. From beginning to end, Melissa and the entire team were so helpful in working out the details for capturing all the memorable moments of our wedding. All the personal touches and correspondence for the months leading up to our wedding made it a wonderful experience. We are so excited to use them again (not for another wedding, of course! lol) but for any future baby & family portraits as well.

    Thank you, VIVIDFotos!

    We chose VIVIDFotos to photograph our destination wedding day because we were blown away by the quality of their photography. On their website, you can view a full wedding and you can tell that they really calculate their shots, but with efficiency. We booked them two years ago when we started planning because we just had a good feeling about them. And we were right. Mel & Bal were so responsive to our emails (remember, we’ve been back and forth for about 2 years!) and nothing got lost in communication. They even sent us a “Welcome Packet” that had tips on what to expect on the wedding day and even a suggested list of group photos to take!
    Throughout the whole planning process, they were so professional, responsive, thoughtful, and overall great.

    Fast-forward to our wedding day, Mel and Crysta were so professional & friendly. I’m not good in front of the camera, but they coached me through everything, every single time. They were so organized, systematic, and efficient with their photography. Talking to them didn’t feel like we were talking to vendors or “people we booked.” They talked to us like we were friends for a long time, and that’s honestly how it should be when it comes to photography or videography. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

    Although we did not book them for videography, they do a stellar job with that as well.

    We cannot thank VIVIDFotos enough for spectacularly capturing all the moments of our special day!

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these guys!! :D

    My fiance and I received a free engagement session after winning a raffle with Vividfotos! Being new to the whole wedding scenario and having pictures taken, they helped us feel comfortable the whole time. They made it easy! They had us laughing the whole time!! We were so thrilled with their work from the engagement session, we went back and asked them to photograph OUR WEDDING!! You can not go wrong with this team of awesome photographers. Pssst, they do cinematography as well! :D

    Can we just gush about VIVIDfotos??!! Talk about a downright talented, professional, warm, and accommodating team. VIVIDfotos was one of our favorite vendors to work with. They met with us several times to get to know us as a couple, answer any questions, and understand our concerns and desires. They did whatever it took to get the perfect shots during our engagement photo session and during our wedding! We had a Christmas wedding, and we mostly worked with Melissa - we nicknamed her "Melissa Claus" because every time we saw her, she was just so warm, accommodating, and always had cookies for us. :0) We chose VIVIDfotos because we fell in love with their dramatic, photojournalistic style and the way that they incorporated the landscape into their work. As we got to know them and work with them, we noticed how quickly they would reply to our emails and how they would go above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Even down to the littlest details, like their packaging, or sending us cards in the mail, or the helpful hints and tips they would give us, the sneak previews, the signature edits - we really just felt so catered to - it's like VIP treatment the entire time! After viewing our same day edit, the Best Man whispered to me, "Hooooo, that was the best same day edit I've ever seen." The entire wedding party was in tears. We are just beyond grateful that we got to work with the VIVIDfotos family. They helped us document the best day of our lives in the most beautiful and emotional way. You will not be disappointed.

    Thank you so much for this awesome review Michelle + Brent! We couldn't be happier that you chose us to capture your most special day! You both were always a pleasure to work with! -Melissa Claus ;)

    They were our very first vendor to book in Hawaii! My husband & I are from NYC, and we came to Hawaii a year before our wedding and we booked VividFotos first (even before a reception venue!). Bal's eye for things is truly a gift. He was able to capture such great photographs. To this day we stare at our engagement photos in awe and are eagerly awaiting our wedding photos.

    I had a vision on how I wanted my wedding photos to look, and I know that they will always give their 10000%. Thank you so much guys!

    We hired Melissa as our photographer for our ceremony on Secret Island and we are very happy with how the photos came out. Her portfolio showed the sort of style we were looking for and she captured some great moments. She was quick to respond to emails and calls and we received our photos 2.5 weeks after our wedding. Thank you!

    Melissa and Balbino were our wedding photographers and we 100% recommend them! We met with them prior to the wedding to review the order of events, desired shots and locations, and other details. They had great recommendations and suggestions and on the day of it all came together. They captured beautiful moments when we were getting ready, during the ceremony, and during the reception. They did a great job capturing the lighting and the beauty of our venue. They kept everything really nice and relaxed and were really great at guiding us through all of the shots and making recommendations when needed. We got our finished photos and USB and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. We used the "Perfect Pair" package with them and the videographer 10th Letter Media, so if you are looking for a videographer as well, they are a great team.

    Melissa and Derek from VividFotos were amazing and we are so happy we chose them to photography our big day! From the very beginning when we first inquired with them, to the very last photo taken at our reception, they have been nothing short of amazing. Super quick to respond, very professional, and above all very easy to work with! Melissa made us and all of our guests very comfortable through out the whole process and were a huge help in making the day go as smoothly as possible! I was already impressed with their portfolio, and after seeing a sneak peak of what they have done with our photos, i'm beyond excited to see the final outcome!! I will want to frame every photo that they took! I'm so very grateful that we choose VividFotos to help us remember our big day and we recommend them to anyone wanting exceptional service and photography!!

    Vivid Fotos did an amazing job on our wedding photos. Melissa is awesome. She captured all of the details from us getting ready in the morning to us dancing the night away. She brought our love story to life. I have always believed when prioritizing your wedding budget you should not skimp on your photographer because when it is all over your pictures are all you have left to remember the day. I am so grateful we chose Vivid Fotos and I have the most beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.

    Melissa and Balbino were absolutely wonderful to work with! They captured our wedding day and also did a trash the dress session with us! Our wedding photos turned out beautifully and we received all of our photos (including trash the dress) about 1 month after the wedding. We love all of the photos so much; we've had a hard time narrowing down our favorites for the photo book that they included in our package. We wanted to do an underwater trash the dress shoot and our photos turned out so much better than we could have imagined! It was a ton of fun and I highly recommend it to anyone who is brave enough to take the fanciest swim of your life! Mel is great about getting back to you in a timely and prompt fashion and they were beyond patient with me and my list of group photos that I wanted. We highly recommend Mel and Bal and you will love working with them!

    We absolutely love all of our wedding photos by VIVIDfotos and are so grateful for their helpfulness throughout the planning as well as the wedding day! Mel and Bal are such good partners throughout the wedding process: from the time that we first chatted (while they were on vacation!) to fine-tuning our album.

    In addition to their artistic skills, the team has awesome communication, attention to small details like helping me get into my wedding dress (at the moment that I really needed help), and patience and professionalism in working through a hectic yet important life event.

    The wedding day flew by so quickly. Thanks to VIVIDfotos, we have beautiful photos, both posed and candid, that we can always look back and remember our wonderful time at the stunning island with lush, green surroundings and breathtaking ocean views.

    We used VIVIDfotos for our engagement shoot and our wedding. They were amazing and we couldn't have asked for more! They captured our wedding day at the YWCA perfectly. Our friends and family loved our engagement/wedding pictures.

    Balbino and Melissa are always fast to return emails and came up with unique ideas for pictures. We thought taking pictures would be awkward, but with Balbino and Melissa, we had a lot of fun and they are easy to work with. We felt like we were working with friends. They are always professional- from the presentation of the final pictures to the packaging of the album. They will go the extra mile- from adjusting my wedding dress to meeting us at a convenient spot. Pricing was reasonable. We would highly recommend them.

    Mel and Bal were one of the nicest vendors we came across. They're very responsive to emails, they don't mind meeting you at weird times of the day and they always put the bride and grooms wants first. We had so much changes to our wedding but Mel and Bal were ok with it - they just went with the flow. We got our wedding pictures back (in about a month) and it came out stunning! I would definitely recommend them if you are still looking for photographers for your big day,

    Vividfotos was awesome to work with. They were very accommodating and creative. From a couple not knowing what we were doing when planning our wedding, vividfoto was there to help us create a timeline and brought up a lot of details that we would have missed. The end product was amazing and more than what we expected! . We had an awesome experience from beginning to end! We couldn't be happier with the final product and the service we received.

    Melissa and Balbino were the best vendors we found at the Wedding Expo. They were very responsive to any questions I had, and very flexible in order to take the best picture I wanted for the wedding. Their service and products and top notch. Their photos are very elegant and artistic which made everyone who saw our photo album super impressed.

    Melissa and her husband were amazing. They were very flexible leading up to the wedding day as far as making appointments and changing schedules. Day of was seamless- at least that's what it felt like to me:) They were very organized and committed to getting the best shots. We were pleasantly shocked at how quickly the turnaround was! I am the one taking forever to get the book done. The slideshow that was included with our pictures was not expected and greatly appreciated- the little something extra that meant a lot to us. They captured the feeling of our special day perfectly. So glad we used this company! thanks!

    Melissa and Bal were extremely helpful from start to finish. They were quick to response via email, phone call, and text messages. Very flexible in meeting us and gave us lots of tips for numerous items (from what kind of paper photographs better in pictures to an example day of timeline and etc.) Of the products that we purchase, was what was promised to us and was really made well.

    We are so glad you are happy with all the products you received, and we also really do try to make planning least stressful as possible. We love to see and hear from our brides & grooms along the way!

    We first met Melissa and Balbino from Vividfotos at a Bridal Expo where we were lucky enough to win a free engagement session. The quality of the photos were so great that we decided to use them for our wedding as well. They were great with communication and helping us figure out our timeline. They were flexible even when my bridesmaids were taking a little extra time getting ready. The photos for the wedding were amazing and the prints they provided were great. We couldn't be happier that we went with Vividfotos.
