Aloha and congrats! You’re considering to get married on the beautiful islands of Hawai’i or beyond — your own slice of paradise! Our journey together means everything to me. I capture your day in the most spontaneous, colourful, and nostalgic way possible. I’m Tâm — a full-time Dutch freelance photographer with a passion for travelling the world and documenting once-in-a-lifetime moments for wonderful couples like you.

Both my husband and I are a bit awkward when it comes to having our photos taken, but Tâm made it incredibly easy. He came up with fun tricks to genuinely make us laugh, and we never felt uncomfortable during the whole process. During the ceremony, it was wonderful that we didn't even notice he was taking photos. It truly felt like our moment, while still capturing beautiful and genuine shots. We had an amazing day, and it's definitely reflected in the stunning photos. Thank you so much, Tâm, your photos are truly captured with passion.

I love telling your authentic story.

We were blessed to find Bree before our first wedding so she was, naturally, the first vendor we booked for our family wedding celebration. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful Bree is! Her work speaks for itself – our photographs from both celebrations turned out amazing and I am having the hardest time figuring out how to narrow down my choices to print! She is THAT GOOD. Bree has a knack for capturing natural moments and making them look phenomenal. Besides her talent behind the camera, Bree goes above and beyond to make sure her couples are set up for success. We didn’t hire a day-of-coordinator or planner because Bree alleviates much of the need! Bree worked with us to plan a perfect timeline and to keep us on (or ahead) of schedule on the day of! Her timeline was what we based our whole day off – hair and makeup start times, DJ set up times, ceremony and reception event times. Bree uses her wealth of experience to give sound advice to her couples to make sure their day goes off without a hitch - a total professional with the ability to make you feel at ease in front of the camera! We couldn’t have pulled it off without her! Bree is sure to make your day one to remember – with beautiful photos that you’ll treasure for years to come and with her wonderful, kind personality! Our whole family is so glad to have found Bree and plans to continue to use her photography services for as long as she will make the trek over the Ohio River!

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

Grace is pure MAGIC! We had the absolute pleasure of working with Grace for our engagement photos and our wedding day - She came highly recommended from trusted friends and when you see her work, it's easy to understand why! Grace is attentive, warm, inviting. She truly makes you feel 100% comfortable being in front of the camera which is not a small feat. By far the best investment we made throughout our entire wedding process was the decision to work with Grace and her team.

The pre-wedding communication was easy and Mai joined us for our wedding rehearsal at the venue. On the wedding day, we worked with Mai and her second shooter Amy. They were lovely to work with and felt more like ohana than just our photographers. They captured our entire day and were so accommodating. While we anticipated our wedding photos to take some time, Mai shared a few sneak peaks and were blown away. After a few weeks only, we received our entire album and are so grateful and happy with the images. We can't thank Mai and Amy enough and definitely recommend them to anyone.

My work is rooted in honest, artful moments—candid, unscripted, and full of feeling. I love the texture, warmth, and intention that film brings, and I’d be honored to document your day with images that feel both timeless and true.

Megan flew from Oahu to the Big Island to shoot our wedding in Kona back in January and I have only good things to say about her. She was so sweet and easy to work with through the whole process. We met with her on a call before the wedding to discuss our vision and she was able to help me narrow down our packed shot list and schedule for the day. Of course things don't go as planned the day of and she was flexible when we had a few changes during get ready photos. My husband has captured many of our moments on film so it was important to us that we found a photographer who shot film for our wedding photos. Megan did offer to shoot a mix of film and digital but we both agreed that the feel of film was what we were looking for. Megan took such amazing care to capture all the big and little moments from our day. Within a couple weeks Megan delivered over 500 images to us in a digital photo album for us to download. We are overjoyed to have these beautiful images to look back onto for the rest of our lives.

During my getting ready pictures, she made me comfortable and beautiful. I never felt any awkward times and she made every moment a good time. She caught the most fun pictures of my husband and I, along with our wedding party. When my Maid of Honors or coordinator were not around, she held on to my blotting sheets and lip gloss, made sure I was good, it was great!

  • Serves Kailua, HI

I am a local, born and raised kamaʻaina of the island of Oʻahu. As a teenager and into adulthood, I fantasized about being a wedding photographer. Today, I get to live and share my pipe dream with amazing people right here in my island home in Hawaii. Your Big Day is as special as you are, as individuals, as a couple, and as a growing family. I have come to find my purpose in helping people highlight what glows about them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kris is a wonderful choice for a photographer who is truly, at their core, client centered. As a fellow wedding professional, I can say working with Kris is a delight. She is tech-savvy, has great resources for her couples and just a great human. We are currently collaborating on a wedding and she is proactive and has amazed me with her organization. I feel completely confident recommending her to any couples looking for a photographer. When you are getting your pictures taken, choose Kris to help tell your story!
