DO NOT HIRE! Zero refunds, zero flexibility, zero remorse even during COVID-19!
I hope the experience of my fiancée and myself can be of help to you. We hired Isle Media to be our...
videographer during our dream Hawaii wedding that was scheduled for April 2020. We paid the deposit as soon as humanly possible and gave Isle the flexibility to exercise their creative muscle in putting together a highlight reel for us. Three months out from the wedding, Isle offered a bonus of an additional hour of coverage if we paid the balance in full. Not anticipating COVID-19 and its impact, we went ahead and paid it. It was a huge mistake.
Our venue in Hawaii, as a result of the governor's shelter-in-place order, literally closed the doors for the months of April and May, possibly continuing into June 2020. Our wedding was involuntarily cancelled and we had no say in it. So as one would assume, you should get your money back, or at least some of it. We had already paid $2,000.00 to Isle.
We got nothing back. We worked through our wedding planner, who had a relationship with Isle, and she wasn't able to get them to budge. We contacted Isle directly and spoke with Alan on the phone. He said he was "not a bad person," and then gave a story that he had already spent our $2,000.00 on his two daughters' school tuition and that he had not even $1.00 he could refund us. He stated that all the money we paid was non-refundable per his contract.
The contract platform he uses is off the Sprout Studio management suite specifically for photographers and videographers. It is wholly managed and controlled by Isle. This means that the contract you sign on July 1st can be altered and changed by July 30th, at Alan's discretion, without you even knowing!
My fiancée and I were heart-broken that we cannot have our dream wedding in Hawaii. But we were more upset with Isle Media for offering not a single dollar in a refund during this most impactful pandemic/world event that any of us will experience in our entire lives. Hawaii has, and continues to be, under the strictest quarantine orders. Travelers who come onto the island are arrested and jailed if they step outside their hotel rooms. Even if we did not hire Alan and Isle Media, they would not have been able to work on that day in April 2020.
They are THIEVES and stole $2,000.00 from us. Do not use his services. He will spend all your money before even providing a service. Or at least he will claim he did. He didn't lift a finger and kept our money without shame. Contact me directly if you have any questions or have had similar issues with this company.
So happy we had a videographer at our wedding. The Isle Media team was very professional and easy to work with. They arrived early to get the day started. We were so happy we decid...
ed to include a same day edit because they did not disappoint. Loved watching all the details they captured throughout the day. Our family and friends have been watching our same day edit non stop. We even got our full video within 2 weeks of our wedding! We can’t wait to host a watch party and relive our wedding day.
Alan and the Isle Media team made me feel at complete ease on my wedding day. While there are so many moving parts, their professionalism and flexibility made it a wonderful exper...
ience. Isle Media had everything under control and knew exactly what I wanted to be captured from conversations beforehand. They flew over to Maui and completed the job as if they were on home base. We could not be happier working with this team and the outcome of the photos and videos.
IsleMedia was amazing at capturing all the highlights of our day. They were very organized and responsive to any questions we had throughout our 2-year planning and even up to the ...
very last day. They sent us a questionnaire that we had to fill out in detail to help them figure out what our vision was for our Same Day Edit. We were able to choose the songs from the websites they provided (for copyright purposes).
The day of our wedding, we worked with Kela, who shot all the footage, and Mikey, who developed our Same Day Edit. Kela was awesome because he was really efficient and made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera!
Towards the end of the reception, they showed the SDE. They provided the projector and the screen for us, which was included in our package. The SDE was everything we asked for and more. It was PERFECT! There was not one dry eye at the reception after that video. We received so many compliments on it and people were so amazed at how fast they were able to piece the footage together; a lot of people have never heard of or seen a SDE before.
We want to thank Mikey, Kela, and everyone from IsleMedia for capturing everything from our wedding day. You all are amazing and we can’t wait for all the footage!
I cannot rave enough about Isle Media! I had a destination wedding (in Malaga, Spain) and Alan and his team were so awesome and easy to work with: Flexible, great communication, an...
d super detail oriented. They were also professional while being a ton of fun!
I'll be honest, at first I was only looking for a photographer and was hesitant about a video figuring I'd save money where I could. But I'm so glad I decided to get the video made because as the bride, you end up missing out on a lot (like my cute nephews walking down the aisle or our bridal party dancing into the reception) so it was great to see the video recordings after. But more than just any old video recording, what Alan created is above and beyond my expectations. It captured all the right moments, the full emotions of the day, and the love that my husband and I have for each other and for our beloved friends and family. I cried when I watched the highlights video and it has evoked similar emotions for those who weren't even at the wedding. Thank you Alan and team. You've outdone yourself.
We booked Isle Media 18 months in advance. First, we booked our SDE package to ensure their team was available on our date and later added the 10-hour photography package. We had t...
he pleasure of communicating with Alan, Samantha and working with Lester, Ezrah, Michael, and the rest of the day-of team. The 18 months leading up to our wedding, communication was always on point. Isle media would respond to email and calls in a timely fashion, even if they were on another job that day. Their wedding finalization form was organized enough to where I could provide all the details they needed and the vision we wanted. On the day-of, their two teams showed up early to two separate locations (bride’s suite and groom’s beach house). Their photographers and videographers (along with the creative director) made everything feel easy, comfortable, and fun. At the venue, their team adjusted to the weather delays (thunderstorms) and worked through it. We even went outside and still did pictures in the rain after the indoor (backup location) ceremony. We had to cut our outside photo time by 30 minutes (due to light and rain delays) but the Isle Media team was able to capture those core shots we wanted. Despite the weather, they were very accommodating to the additional family shots and capturing the memorable moments late into the night. They even took into account some of the small changes I wanted, last minute. I would definitely recommend this talented company, Isle Media, to my friends and family for their future photo/video needs.
They are the best. I found out about this company through my friend and they did my older sister's wedding too. I was so in love with their SDE. They're pricey, but they are worth ...
it. We're pretty low maintenance, so we haven't seen all of our photos + full length video yet - they have a 4 month wait for final product. It doesn't bother us since we're not in a hurry, but the SDE was super nice. If you have the money and care for photography/videography the most out of all the other vendors, spend the money. We didn't care much about any of the vendors, but knew for sure that we wanted to get Isle Media from the start. Check out their website for SDE videos and you'll fall in love!
The Same Day Edit shot by Isle Media was one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding. Alan and his team were incredible to work with, from the extra time they spent with us dur...
ing the rehearsal dinner to helping coordinate fun and comfortable shots on wedding day, they delivered in every way. They were caring, fun, easy to work with, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, got our guests involved in the fun...and you hardly even noticed their presence during the reception.
The emotions captured by Isle, displayed during our reception in the SDE, made for a truly spectacular presentation and one that we'll never forget. Our guests were talking about it all night, the day after, and will be for many months to come. We even had a handful of engaged couples present at the wedding that ended up booking with Isle Media after seeing our SDE during the wedding. A true testament to how STUNNING, emotional, beautiful and magical the video was. I think we can speak for everyone when we say it totally blew us away!
We couldn't recommend Alan and his team more! For any on the fence about hiring a Isle Media or hiring a videographer in general, we are firm believers that it is worth EVERY penny. It's a gift we'll truly cherish forever. That is priceless.
I highly recommend Isle Media!! I used them as my videographers for my wedding this past summer. With my package I added on the Same Day Edit (SDE) video, which was shown at the ...
reception, and all I can say is "WOW!!!" Everyone at the wedding was just blown away with the quality of the video that had been produced in just a few hours. Even after the wedding I have used that video to share with people and have kept the longer video for my own personal viewing. They sent me the full length video within 3 months of the wedding. I have friends who waited years for theirs.
Not knowing who the actual videographers were going to be on the day of, I was very impressed by the staff and how professional, timely, and friendly they were. They made the whole process so much fun! Everything was so natural and they also worked very well with my photographer! I would definitely hire them again for future videography needs.
We wanted to do a really nice baby announcement photo. So we decided to use Isle Media! We wanted to take our pictures at Koolina, but the day before was storming so we were unsure...
weather or not the next day would have good weather; but it turned out to be a beautiful day. We've seen the work they've done through the years they've been in business and have always loved it. Since we had Tracy's (bf) dog included in our pictures, our photographer made us feel very comfortable and he was very patient with everything (Reece). As you can tell you can never predict what a dog might do next, Kona (dog) had his moments but Reece was still able to work through them. We enjoyed taking the photos as our photographer made us feel like our natural self. After looking through the photos, we were very satisfied! You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into the details of each photo; treating it as their own piece of art. I highly recommend Isle Media for all occasions and precious moments like our Baby Announcement!

All the pictures came out beautifully. During the day, you could tell all the guys (we had 4 photographers and 2 videographers running around plus a DRONE) were extremely concerned...
with getting the best possible selection of pictures. they really cared enough to make sure they set up a lot of different shots and captured amazing candids as well. I can't lie, I was really worried about looking unflattering, I never considered myself to be very photogenic and I must say all the images look amazing. It was such a nice day and the colors of the greenery and the ocean really pop, it looks so bright and vibrant. The sunset pictures are just WOW. still waiting for the video, so can't comment yet but I'm sure it will be just as good.
Planning a destination wedding wasn't easy. Finding the perfect videographer, was! Just looking at their previous work and their use of the drones made it easy for me to hire them ...
on. They were really easy to work with and just really low maintenance. They knew what to do and they just did their thing, which made it easy for us. I received the highlight video within 2 months and the full video within 6 months. The video was perfect and it brings us back to that special day every time we watch it! Thanks Alan & team, keep up the awesome work!
Immediately after our consultation with Alan, we knew Isle Media was the right choice for us for videography and photography services. Alan was very welcoming and answered all our ...
questions. Communicating with the Isle Media team was very easy as Alan quickly responded to emails usually within a day or two (or less!).
Reese did an amazing job with our engagement photo shoot, and we were thrilled with the pictures. It was a little awkward doing some silly things, but it was worth it once you see the finished product.
On our wedding day, the Isle Media team was super fun to work with. They were very professional, never made us feel uncomfortable and even did a little dancing with the bridal party while getting ready. Our same-day edit brought me to tears (as well as our guests) as they captured our special day perfectly! They emailed us the link for it the very next day so we were able to watch it and relive our day immediately.
Our wedding photos and final wedding video edit came out amazing as well. The softness and romantic feel you get from their photos/video are exactly what we wanted for our special day. Isle Media is definitely a good choice if you're thinking of booking them! No complaints here!
They did a great job with the same day edit. Everyone was very impressed.
We cannot thank Alan and his team at Isle Media enough for their amazing services and professionalism through the whole wedding process. They were prompt with email replies and del...
ivery of products (within the terms of our contract). We chose one of their photo/video packages that included an engagement shoot and same-day edit video. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera, nor are we even close to being photogenic, but Lester (our photographer) really made us feel comfortable and guided us through a lot of the poses. We appreciated the fact that Lester was also our photographer for our wedding day. With someone familiar behind the camera, we felt at ease and knew that we would have amazing photos of our special day. We loved our engagement and wedding pictures so much we wanted to share them with all of our guest, so we used them on our save-the-dates and thank you cards. We were very impressed with our full video as well. They were able to capture all of those special moments, all of our guests having a great time, and all of the emotions that we felt throughout the entire day. When we received our final video product, my husband said "I forgot how much fun we had even though it was hectic. I was smiling while watching it." We also received tons of compliments from guests on the same-day-edit video we showed at our reception. Check it out https://vimeo.com/218363065
Isle Media was great! Allan and his partner did an amazing job with our SDE. Everyone loved it and I love watching it over and over and so does my daughter! They did a really great...
job capturing our little family and all the little details that we asked for. My husband was really impressed by it all how they worked with us!
Isle Media is the best! We've had the honor to not only work with them once but 5 times! We couldn't be happier with their team and the quality of work they provide. We've personal...
ly worked with Alan, Reese, Zairrah and Meileen and they all do exceptional jobs. They filmed our wedding in Oahu, flew all the way to Palau for a destination wedding package for my sister, and continues to provide makeup/photography for my growing family. We're from California, but every time we visit Hawaii, we make sure to book a photoshoot session with them. They are friendly, professional and so accommodating. It's always a pleasure to work with them and we can't wait for our next photoshoot! Thank you Isle Media!
UNBELIEVABLY TALENTED! I could not recommend anyone more! Alan and Jeremiah did the best job with our wedding video. They captured all of the sweetest moments (even those we didn't...
know were sweet at the time) and produced the most gorgeous, heartfelt video that we will cherish for our entire life. All the feels every time we watch it!!! They were so wonderful to work with, both in preparation, day of, and after the big day!
Alan has incredible talent or should I say a gift for making extremely high quality videos that will most certainly be a highlight of your big day and forever. I asked Alan to shoo...
t a video capturing my wife and I time as a couple leading up to the marriage that I could play at my reception. It was last minute and without hesitation he created a masterpiece! The video brought out all emotions from the guests! My wife is Japanese and I wanted her to speak her native tongue for her family, I asked Alan can we add English subtitles and Japanese subtitles in the video, this was very very important in making the video perfect so all guest could really enjoy. It was executed perfectly. Easily 10 stars! CHECK OUT THE VIDEO FOR YOURSELF! https://vimeo.com/217943829
I can literally not say enough good things about working with Alan and the Isle Media team. It all started when we attended a wedding a few years ago that Alan filmed and knew afte...
r seeing the first day edit and full feature film that Alan and Isle Media were it for us when the time came. Three years later – Alan shot our wedding weekend in Greenville, South Carolina. From the get go, communicating with Isle Media was easy and simple. Very straight forward - no funny business. We knew from the get go that Alan and his talented team really CARED about us and our wedding day. We became friends. We trusted them and felt so comfortable which is pretty much impossible for an OCD bride planning a destination wedding! The BEST PART was when Alan and his team surprised us with a first day edit in front of all our family and friends! Our breath was literally taken away – they Isle Media team made us feel so special and even brought us huge sparklers to add to the video and footage. The quality of service and video Alan and team put together was insane – they are SO talented! It really makes a huge difference to work with a vendor that you can trust and know they want the best for you – especially in wedding planning. 2 months later our guests are still commenting on the drone and video footage they were able to capture. And the turnaround time was incredible! We cannot thank Alan and his team enough for capturing our wedding weekend and truly becoming a friend and trusted partner.
From the engagement shoot, to the pre wedding set up and communication, and finally the day of photos and videos, this company is one of the most professional, responsible and amaz...
ing team we've come across.
To start, Reese made us feel very comfortable and was very open to suggestions that reflected who we are as a couple. They are professional and definitely know their craft better than other places we've interviewed.
Pictures were of the highest quality with fun ones sneaked in there for laughs and giggles :) Their team is efficient, quiet but get the job done. Many of our guests did not even notice their presence, and that's what you want - true candid photos of guests having a blast at your reception!
I would highly recommend these guys to anybody who needs an affordable but professional and highly well done way to remember the best day/night of your lives.
We know we certainly enjoyed working with them! Thanks again you guys, wish you all the best!
I worked with Isle Media twice now - once when IM filmed my elopement and again when IM photographed my now expanding family. Both times the experience was top notch, as was the re...
sulting product. My husband and I got married in Hawaii, without our family or friends by our side. We later hosted a party for our friends and family and showed everyone the video. It still brings tears to my eyes to see how perfectly IM has captured our special day. The following year we came back to Hawaii with our baby and once again IM came through for us to capture the perfect lighting, just the right looks and special moments. I would highly recommend IM and plan to use them again in the future.
We had our wedding on January 7, 2017 in Cancun, Mexico. I found Isle Media on Youtube ( they worked on wedding at resort that we chose for our wedding) absolutely loved their wor...
k. Even though they headquartered in Hawaii they can fly to any destination to capture your wedding. I emailed them and got a response on same day from Alan. We needed video recap, video and pictures, and he was able to provide a good price for the package. We had team of three people (Reese, James and Brandon) who came on the day of the wedding to our resort to work. They were very professional and told us everything we needed to do for pics. They were capturing beautiful moments in the background, and video looked great and natural. They brought a projector with them and showed the recap at the reception. Everyone absolutely loved it. Great team that provided amazing work. I asked to redo couple of things in the recap and they emailed us the updated version only five days later. I was very inpatient about pictures and asked them to send us few for thank you cards. They emailed us file with the wedding pictures, I asked about the rest of the pictures and two days later they emailed us complete file. We are very happy with results and quick turnaround (only 3 weeks since the wedding and we already have all pictures!).
Isle Media is such a great company to work with. They are really well known in Oahu which is why I was confident that I did the right choice to hire them capture my wedding day. Th...
ey were really good at communicating with me through emails! I got a great package deal with same day edit, 8hr coverage and slideshow and it turned out great! I still can't get over how fast they were with capturing my day and adding it onto the same-day edit.
They have a lot of people that works for Isle Media and a variety of choices to choose from. Thank you to Romeo, Alex, Brantt, Allan, and Michael for helping us capture our wedding day. (Please forgive me if I spelt your names wrong or forgot, lol.) But I am so thankful to have Isle Media as one of my vendors. Great team!
We haven't received any of our finished products yet, so this review is based on our experience so far with the service. We'll be sure to update our review once we receive our vide...
os!
When securing our wedding vendors, videography was something something on our "wish list". We almost didn't have a videographer for our wedding, but we decided late in the planning process that it was worth the investment to have the memories for a lifetime. We initially checked out their website and videos on Vimeo and loved their work. From the very beginning, Alan was such a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly prompt and quick to reply to any email inquiries or questions we had throughout the booking and planning process. This really put us at ease since we were planning a destination wedding. Prices were incredibly fair compared to other companies we researched and there were so many positive reviews on Yelp, we felt confident in our decision to go with Isle Media.
The day of our wedding, Romeo and Michael were assigned as our videographers. They were kind, friendly, and professional. They worked quietly and blended into the background like little ninjas capturing our day through their cameras. We coordinated our timeline with Alan and Reese prior to the wedding day, and Romeo and Michael worked really well with our photographer on the day of our wedding to ensure a seamless day, that ran very smoothly. We decided to add on a drone pilot for an hour prior to our wedding ceremony at an alternate location, just so we'd have some variety in our finished product. Hawaii is so beautiful, we figured it would be worth it to capture the beauty from an aerial view.
After our wedding, we were connected with James for any questions regarding editing. We provided him with our song selections for both the highlights video and full edit, and now we wait! We're super excited excited to see our videos, especially the drone footage! Mahalo, Isle Media for being so awesome to work with thus far.
I can't believe we almost did not have a videographer for our wedding!!! What were we thinking?!? We were referred to Isle Media by our Wedding Coordinator at Aloha Bridal Connecti...
ons. I checked out their website and was so impressed with their work. I emailed them and received a response shortly after. Alan was great with answering my questions and was able to make recommendations to fit our needs. We initially went with two videographers for 8 hours. After a few months of watching some more of their work, we decided to go all out and add the same-day-edit, I mean, we only get married once, might as well right? We are so glad we did! Our SDE was so amazing and beyond our imagination. By popular demand, we even played it twice at the reception! The suspense of waiting a few months is killing me but at least I can watch our SDE on repeat until then!
Alan, you and your team were such a pleasure to work with. It was such a seamless process and sometimes I'd forget you all were around. We cannot wait to see our highlight video!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your amazing talent in capturing our special day.
If you're debating whether or not to book Isle Media, you should stop now and just pull the trigger! You won't be disappointed!!
BEST DECISION WE MADE FOR THE WEDDING! From the moment I saw Isle Media's videos, I knew I wanted them to work with us on our wedding. If you are considering having a videographe...
r at your wedding, I highly encourage you to work with Isle Media. We loved working with Alan and the entire team from beginning to end. For starters, they are extremely responsive. After inquiring about their services, they got back to me really quickly. Throughout the process, we were in constant communication and this is extremely helpful when you are planning for your big day! Another thing, they are super professional and friendly at the same time. This put me at ease when we were filming our love story (I'm not very comfortable being filmed). Their final edits were nothing short of amazing! The videos and photos came out exactly how I wanted it. They invoked so many different types of emotions..This might sound strange or narcissistic but I love watching our Same Day Edit Video. It reminds me of how magical our day was..I am so happy that I.M. captured it!
Our wedding was March 23, 2016. We had a great time working with Alan, Reese, Zairrah, and the rest of the team from Isle Media. We were planning a destination wedding in Hawaii, a...
s we live in New York and our friends and family would be coming in from all over the world.
After reading reviews and gathering recommendations, we reached out to Isle Media via email and discussed all the things that we had in mind. Since we didn't get a chance to vendor-shop in person, we were hoping to bundle a lot of services with one company, and fortunately Isle Media offers just that.
We ended up booking Isle Media for our photography and videography, and hair and makeup for myself and my bridal party.
After the wedding, we got a few teaser photos pretty quickly after, the highlight reel and the whole video less than a month after, and then less than 3 months after the wedding, we got the entire collection of photos.
The photographers on our wedding day were so fun to work with, capturing our silliness and fun and not making us pose for awkward or unnatural shots. Yes, some were posed, but we felt like they were all reflective of our personalities. We also let them have creative license with some shots and they ended up turning out to be some of our faves. They were able to capture a lot of our DYI touches and even spread the word to some of their peers about the app my husband made for our wedding, Modern Planit.
Working with Zairrah and her assistant for hair/makeup was lovely. I was able to squeeze in a hair/makeup trial during one planning trip we made to the island, and we were able to replicate that successfully months later. All of my ladies looked wonderful, in makeup and hair-dos that perfectly fit their personal style. I was afraid that my youthful fun mom would be done up with a matronly, conservative do, but they styled her hair and makeup perfectly. She looked radiant!
It's always hard parting with a pile of cash for each vendor during planning, but the Isle Media team is worth every penny. So glad we have such great pictures and video to remember our day with, as it goes by so fast!
I just had my wedding in Hawaii-- we attended another wedding about a year ago and they had used Alan and his team for their videography. I knew from the moment we saw their SDE th...
at I wanted to use Isle Media for ours. I requested them right away! Alan and his team did an amazing job. Our SDE was perfect and I've watched it so many times already because I love it so much. They captured the most beautiful moments. Alan was a pleasure to work with, open communication and great attention to detail. His whole team was so personable and so fun to work with! It was effortless working with them and they made my special day perfect. Thank you so much Alan, Reese and the rest of the Isle Media team- you guys are truly the best!!!!!!!
My groom and I had to plan our Hawaii wedding from North Dakota and our photographer, Jenna Lee, suggested Isle Media to us. I am certainly glad we went with her suggestion. The Is...
le Media team was absolutely wonderful to work with planning our wedding, on our wedding day, and after. They were kind and considerate of our wedding events,helpful, and creative!I am completely blown away by our finished product. Isle Media has certainly exceeded our expectations. Our highlight video is better than we could have dreamed up. We cannot wait to show it off to our friends and family back in North Dakota at our reception. Without a doubt, go with Isle Media for your wedding videography!
Isle Media is an extremely professional company! Our wedding coordinator spoke only positively of their promptness and communication style! I enjoyed my make up artist,, Zairrah wh...
o made me feel comfortable. We enjoyed working with Reese on the north shore and he captured us as we dreamed. The same day edit is a must! It was the perfect culmination of our day's moments. Thank you Isle Media!
Besides choosing my husband, choosing Isle Media as our videographer was the best decision I could have made. Alan and his team are so incredibly talented and wonderful to work wit...
h. I searched high and low for a videographer in Chicago I felt could truly capture the emotion of our wedding day and felt discouraged until our venue recommended Isle Media. I watched a few of there videos and was immediately sold. I contacted them and we had our date booked shortly after. The team is very easy to get ahold of and work with.
On our wedding day, the team blended in so easily and worked well with our photographer. The same-day edit was something I'd never seen at a wedding and now feel like I couldn't live without it! The team is so talented and put together the most amazing video for our family and friends to relive the day. We can't wait to see the rest!
If you're still deciding, choose Isle Media! You won't regret it!
We were referred to Isle Media by a friend who used them and they were awesome from the start! We booked them for photography and videography. From the first email I sent, they wer...
e professional, exciting, enthusiastic, and so easy to talk to. We live on a different island so we knew they would be flying in that morning and leaving late that night. They arrived promptly and with such fun and outgoing attitudes. They made myself and my bridesmaids even MORE excited, if that was even possible. You could tell they love what they do. They all worked exceptionally well together and made us feel comfortable. We had a same day edit played at our reception and got so many amazing compliments from our guests. I didn't even know they had captured some of the moments shown on the video, but very thankful they did! The same day edit was emailed to us a couple days later and already got a bunch of pictures within a couple of weeks. We're so happy we chose Isle Media and HIGHLY recommend them!
Isle Media did such an amazing job with every little detail of photos, same day edit and slideshow. I cannot wait to see the rest of the photos and the rest of the video footage! S...
o many people were impressed with their work! It was amazing! People kept asking who my photographers were and one of my bridesmaids even got their card. Reese was amazing along with his team. They make you feel really comfortable when taking pictures and makes you laugh! It was amazing and I felt like a superstar that day! There is no words to express how awesome they were! They exceeded are expectations! I still cry watching the same day edit and tear up looking at our photos. You can feel the love in the video and photos! They are passionate and good and what they do! LOVE IT!!! Alan was amazing to work with and I would recommend anyone their way! THANKS ALAN, REESE AND THE REST OF THE TEAM!!!
We hired Isle Media through word of mouth from a friend of mines to do videography and photography. I was quite happy with their services. They were very good at getting back to ...
me when I had any questions and they sent a great team that worked hard on our wedding day to make sure we were comfortable and made sure we had a good time.
Any wedding day is hectic and full of surprises, they made sure to take care of us and adjust to our chaotic schedule.
Same day edit video came out awesome, we have guest who came to us talking about how pleased they were with the product. Videography is what my friend told me Isle Media is known for, and they definitely put out a great product. I can’t wait to receive the end product from them so we can send it off to my relatives on the mainland who were unable to attend the wedding.
I once again cannot stress how good Isle Media is. They truly went above and beyond to make sure our wedding photography would be memorable.
They do really great work! Only thing was that they did not do interviews with the wedding guests as stated on the contract. But then again, they threw in like 4 extra hours free...
because our wedding was all day and we took longer than expected on our engagement photos. They were very accommodating and the photographers were all great to work with.
Our wedding was in May and we got our album middle of August. I think this is typical of wedding photo/video companies. Only down side is that communication can sometimes be a bit slow via email.
They were so amazing and nice and fun to work with on such a special day. The same day edit was more than I ever expected. I could watch it over and over. Photos were also spectac...
ular. Hair and makeup turned out beautiful and I didn't even need a trial. She was also so sweet. Highly highly recommend them. So professional and they get back to you right away with any questions.
Do yourselves a favor and book this incredible team of professionals!!! A++++
My wedding was a destination wedding, from our home town of Miami, Florida to Honolulu, HI. I actually...
did not have a wedding planner, so you better believe I researched every company out there to make sure I got the best and that is exactly what I got, and more!
Videographer - Alan: Alan, is truly a gifted individual. Words cannot describe how wonderful it was to work with him. From day one, he answered all my questions and continuously worked with my wedding budget. He not only provided thorough information about his team and their services, but he even was happy to assist with any outside questions I had. I randomly ran across their videos on youtube, and once I saw their same-day-edit videos, I got hooked, and kept watching and wathcing and got more excited as I did. From the reviews and research I did about Isle Media, I knew that they were going to deliver an incredible performance, and I was not disappointed. Our same-day-edit video was magical, truly, it left everyone in tears, and our family members keep telling us how they love to look at it day after day!!
Photographer- Reese: Reese was a total sweetheart. Despite only having 50 guests at my wedding, the way my family runs, it felt like 200. Both Reese and Alan were patient and open to shooting different pictures and accomodating everyone's needs. I just got some of my preview pictures of our wedding, and my jaw dropped to the floor! The pictures are stunning!! Not only did he capture the most beautiful moments of our day, but the quality of the pictures are breathtaking! If the previews are this great, well, I can't wait to see the rest of them!!!
DJ/MC/Uplighting- DJ "Kevo" Kevin: Kevin is just awesome!!! This was an area of the wedding that I was little nervous about, being that we are a multi-cultural couple, with Greek, Albanian, and Panamanian running through our veins. But have no worries here, Kevin can handle anything!! Everyone, and I mean everyone, was dancing and enjoying themselves thanks to Kevin. Additionally, Kevin set up the lighting in the room which really helped bring out the beautiful colors of our wedding. With his help, our reception was a success and all our guests had a great time. It is not easy to mix so many different cultures and genres of songs together, but Kevin was a smooth as butter when it came to keeping the flow going!! Amazing!!
Beuty-Zairrah: Every bride wants to feel beautiful on her wedding day, and Zairrah helped me do just that. She used an air-brush to give me good coverage without feeling caky, and even applied some false lashes to make my eyes pop. She captured exactly the look I wanted and I felt like a princess. My bridesmaids looked stunning as well, and everyone was commenting on how beautiful everyone looked. Besides her natural talent, Zarraih was truly a professional. They say there is no wedding without some drama, and well, when you stick 9 ladies in one room, drama is what you get. Zairrah and her team hadled the situation very professionaly and curteously and left me the bride, at ease.
IsleMedia is beyond words incredible! Throughout the course of our wedding planning, not only did we gain a partnership but friendship as well. They are like family to us and we are so honored to have had them as part of our wedding!! We are forever grateful and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future!
I can't begin to express how thankful my husband and I are to have had isle media capture our wedding. From our first meeting with Alan, the owner, to our engagement, to our weddin...
g, isle media has been so amazing! We booked isle media through our wedding planner for an engagement session, photo and video for our wedding, and same day edit. We originally met our photographer, Reese, at our engagement session. Reese is so talented! He's so easy to work with and provides such great direction but ensure that the photos come out looking natural, and not posed. All of our photos came out so perfect! I couldn't wait to have him and the rest of the isle media team at our wedding. On the day of our wedding, the isle media team was there on the dot and ready to work! They truly capture our day every minute so that we could have these memories for a lifetime. Our same day edit with Alan and the video team was so amazing! I don't know how these guys do it but they work their magic. Our wedding was almost a month ago and to this day people are raving about how amazing the same day edit was. I was so impressed to hear from Reese in just two days after our wedding with about 100 preview photos of our wedding. These guys are so prompt, professional, and nothing but the best quality I've seen! And the best part is their a one-stop shop for all that you need! Isle media thank you guys SO SO much! I can't tell you how grateful we are to have had you capture our big day.
Isle Media was referred to us by our planner and we couldn’t have been happier with the service they provided. At our first meeting Alan walked us through all of the options Isle M...
edia provides in a very friendly, very professional way and he had great suggestions for our wedding.
We were also really happy with our photographer, Lester, and videographer, Brendan, at our wedding and reception. We hadn’t provided much direction in terms of what we were hoping they would capture, so both Lester and Brendan walked us through some options and provided suggestions along the way. They did an amazing job of capturing all of the key moments as well as a bunch of candid shots throughout the event. We also appreciated how they tried to be efficient with shooting after the ceremony and during the sunset so that we didn’t spend too much time away from our guests and the event.
The final images and videos we received were far better than we had hoped for. The lighting, style and cuts were exceptional and perfectly captured the event. We are so happy to have worked with Isle Media and would definitely recommend them for your events!
Isle Media was a pleasure to work with. We've got so many compliments on the video and the same day edit added an awesome touch to our special day. I would recommend Isle Media to ...
anyone looking for a cool, trendy videographer. We could not be happier with the results.
Our wedding day honestly would not have been as amazing as it was had it not been for Reese and Sam and their amazing photography skills. They were both so easy to work with but mo...
re importantly, they were FUN to work with. I'm normally not one to take a lot of pictures, I think the number of selfies I've taken can be counted on one hand, but Reese made me comfortable and the process painless. My husband and I got married in December in Kaneohe and we happened to be blessed with awesome weather and Reese took full advantage of it. It really felt as if he was doing everything to make sure that we got pictures he knew we would love. He had us standing in different spots and he made suggestions about what to do and it was just so awesome working with someone who knew how to put you at ease and gift you with some amazing pictures that we'll be able to cherish for years to come. Another thing that was really cool was how excited Reese seemed. He was visibly happier when he realized the weather was perfect and when you're working with somebody who is putting off excitement like that, it's hard not to get excited yourself! Oh and also he was very patient. Our wedding party is amazing and very loving but they were getting out of hand at times and Reese kind of had to reel them in. But he also played along and joked with us and that overall made everything really fun. Reese made the whole process seem so much smoother and laid back and we love him for it. Reese was so easy to talk to and never made us feel as if our questions about poses and stuff were stupid, even though I'm sure many of them were. In the end, he was our photography angel because he really put together amazing photos for us and we could not be more thankful. He took all of our ideas and our vision and brought it to life and made it even better than we had ever imagined. Everything that we wanted was fulfilled that night. He didn't let us down one bit and we're so happy that we were able to share our special day with him because, believe me, it would not have been as special without him. Reese was everything we wanted and expected from a wedding photographer and more. Reese was perfect, Sam was amazing, and together they made our wedding day one we will always, always cherish. Thank you so much!
Heard about Isle Media through the grapevine from Hawaii. The moment I emailed Alan he was amazing. We booked them for our photo and video for our wedding. From their professionali...
sm to flexibility to reliability and final products, it was awesome! Even after the wedding, they were quick to get in touch with me about my SDE video and highlight pictures. I would and already have recommended them to my close friends and family who will soon get married. They really had a huge part in making our wedding perfect and helped capture every great moment. We love Isle Media and can't thank them enough for their hard work.
We went with Isle Media for our photography and videography. Photographer was Kay and Videographer was Raphael, while Val was assisting. We specifically requested Kay as our phot...
ographer because of her unique style and incredible talent. Her Japanese speaking was a huge bonus being my wife is Japanese and we had guests from Japan attending our wedding.
Isle media was on time, friendly, and very easy to work with. They made the most of their time with us. Working efficiently within our timeline and always offering great suggestions.
We now know why Isle Media is such a popular choice when it comes to weddings. They exceeded all of our expectations! From the start, Alan (owner) was really easy to work with and always very professional.
We highly recommend Isle Media for ALL your wedding needs!!
We recently got married on 12/27/15 and Isle Media was our videographer. Alan showed personal interest in us the first time we spoke on the phone and met in person. The crew made o...
ur wedding day very special for us, as if it was their wedding also!!! The day was crazy and the crew was able to make the needed adjustments!!! They did a wonderful job!!! We absolutely love the video!!! Footage captured not only us and the amazing scenery with the drone, but our family and friends as well, which we love!!! The crew caught the perfect moments on video and made the simplest footage, the most beautiful shots!!! Our family and friends have been complementing the video so much!!! We melt and start to tear up every time we watch our video. We’ve been watching it non-stop!!! Amazing and wonderful work Isle Media!!!

rendan. My wedding was in October and I was cutting it close with booking my videographer but after doing a lot of research I fortunately chose Isle Media and I was contacted by Alan almost immediately. He was so willing to work with us and he was completely amazing to work with from the very beginning. Since I was having a destination wedding in Maui, HI (and I was from TX and the groom from NY) I was a little hesitant about how everything would work out but he kept in contact constantly and even took the time out to call me several times. The team was very eager and thorough on making sure they knew beforehand what we wanted and envisioned for the filming of our wedding. On the day of the wedding I arrived and Alan was there to meet and greet me so warmly along with the crew-Rafael and Brendan. They were all so encouraging and comfortable to be around. I did not feel awkward around them at all and it was actually very comforting to see them pop in and out with smiles on their faces-they are clearly so passionate about what they do and infect others with their passion. They did a same day edit video for us and played it towards the end of the reception...I WAS BLOWN AWAY (and so was everyone else-so much so that we had to play it again). They captured everything far better than I had hoped for or even imagined! And Alan's editing skills are so awesome. I was SO excited and ecstatic that they captured the day so beautifully. I don't think we would trust anyone else now except them to film for us so we are definitely planning to use them again in the future for an anniversary or something special (it would be well worth leaving New York and traveling to Hawaii for them).
I am completely relieved and blessed that we chose them to help preserve our memories and our special day for lifetimes.
This review is long over due. We got married on 6/20/15 and we decided to hire Isle Media for our photographer/ videographer.
PHOTOGRAPHER: We had Reese do our engagement photo...
. He was an excellent photographer made us feel at ease especially cause it was our very first time doing professional photos. Reese's was our photographer. We took lots of pictures with our entourage and they came out great. I'm quite disappointed that we didn't have much pictures with our family during the ceremony & reception. One of the things I included in my shot list was to take pictures with the guests. Of course when when you're in the moment of your wedding, you forget things. I feel like they could've cued us to take pics with them or they could've snapped some guests pictures. Only after the wedding I realized that we didn't have any pictures with our guests. We were bummed when we saw the final pictures and video.
VIDEOGRAPHER: Same day edit turned out awesome especially when we watched it at the reception. I know they are very busy, so I waited patiently for our DVDs. After 3 months of waiting, I ended up emailing them to check the status. Alan emailed me back saying the edit was done long time ago and there's miscommunication about us wanting DVDs. We didn't receive any links. I clearly stated we wanted tangible products when we filled out the questionnaires they sent to us at the very beginning. They tried sending us links, but didn't work and they were having problems with their server.
SLIDESHOW: Couple weeks before our wedding, I gave them a memory containing all our pictures to be made into our slideshows. Then couple weeks went by, I heard from Isle Media that somehow the our memory got misplaced and couldn't be found. That's not really something we wanted to hear especially when the wedding was approaching. Despite that, lucky thing we had all our pics saved to our laptop & easily gave another copy (memory) to them. Overall, our slideshow did turned out awesome. They put all the pictures we asked them.
WEDDING COORDINATOR: It was done by Aloha Bridal Connection w/ Natalie. She and her team did an excellent job. We did a separate review on them..
LIGHTING/MONOGRAM: Toward the beginning, Kevin "Kevo" requested a copy of our invitation so he could use the designs into the monogram. So I sent him the invitation card 2 months prior, & he even confirmed that he received it. Around 3 weeks before the wedding, he emailed me saying he didn't get a copy of our invitation and that I needed to sent it to him. I assumed he misplaced it. Again, this is not something I should be hearing. Of course, I don't have anymore invitations left. So emailed him a pdf file. Then, he admits that he later found the original invitation in the middle of designing. He stated that he will have a proof of approval before the wedding. I emailed him couple times requesting the proof, but I didn't get any response. He did email us the proof, but it was around midnight before the wedding, which I didn't get the chance to open my email cause we were already so busy with rehearsals and transporting our stuffs into the hotel.. He apologized on his email for being so late, "traveling was harsh, got sick, too much fun, not enough sleep". Sounds like excuses to me.
We saw the monogram at the reception, it was so simple, I wish he could've done more designs on it. Not much effort into it.
Lighting turned good & it's the color that we wanted..
We decided that photography and videography were going to be one of the expense that we wanted to invest in for our wedding. Going with Isle Media made was the best decision that ...
we made. The staff was friendly, helpful, and organized. There were some bumps in the road but nothing serious and was addressed quickly. We received preview pictures and our Same Day Edit video 3 days after our wedding. The pictures were beautiful! Also, everyone at our wedding loved our SDE! Alan and his staff provided us with excellent services and we could not be any more happier!
Simply amazing, there’s really no other way to describe the professionalism, quality, and artistic style of Isle Media. From the start CEO and Founder Alan took great care of my fi...
ancé and I. Alan was incredibly thorough and always available to address any questions we had. The quality of the video/photos, hair/makeup, and DJ services which the Isle Media team provided were unparalleled. Besides providing a quality product, everyone had FUN throughout the day. We can honestly say the Isle Media team was key in making our special day one of the most memorable days of our lives.
From the engagement photos to the wedding day Reese, the lead photographer, not only made sure that we had amazing, beautiful, and artistic photos, but that we were comfortable and having a good time. Prior to taking engagement photos and the wedding Reese reached out to my fiancé and I discussing shots we would like to take, style we were looking for, and locations we’d like to shoot at, making sure that he knew exactly what we wanted. What truly impressed us was the amount of effort Reese and his team applied to everything they did. They worked great as a team, were very personable, communicated clearly with us, and made sure everyone was having a great time while taking stunningly beautiful photos and photo.
I think the highlight of the evening (besides getting married of course) was that she same day edit Isle Media was able to present during the reception. From the masterfully thought out story line of the day with thoughtful voiceovers to the amazing overhead video provided by their drone, the same day edit better than anything we had imagined. Our guests and others who we showed the video to after the wedding were all blown away, many saying it was the best produced they had ever seen.
Equally important in making a successful wedding were DJ Kevo and hair/makeup artist Zairrah. Kevo, like the rest of the Isle Media time, was timely in his communication and made sure that things were prepared well ahead of time. He was also able to provide suggestion and did not require that we provide him with every single song we wanted to play. We talked with him about the style and feel we were looking for and he took it from there, doing a great job. Zairrah was friendly, professional and made sure everyone looked beautiful. What impressed us the most besides her technical skills, was her ability to work with both the bridal party and the mothers. Zairrah provided different styles and services for a diverse group of ladies at different ages highlighting Zairrah’s great personality and versatility.
Other members of the team which helped to make the day a success were editor Aly and the rest of the videography and photography team, Brendan, Lester, and Rafael.
Without a doubt we will be recommending Isle Media to all of our friends and family for their own special day!
Having a great photographer was one of the most important decisions for our wedding, aside from marrying each other course! We used Isle Media for photography and videography and t...
he process of setting all of that up was very easy and seamless. There wasn’t much communication needed, which we liked, but whenever we reached out to Alan and Reese they responded promptly. A few months before our wedding, they sent a detailed survey to help plan ahead about what kinds of photos we wanted to have and what moments were most important, including music to include with the video.
Our photo and video team of Alan, Reese, and Brandon were able to capture some great shots and were fun to work with. They seemed comfortable and knowledgeable on how to capture the best shots in any condition. We thought they were able to capture some unique video of Seattle and us with their drone, which we didn’t see many other companies leverage as well as Isle Media, if at all. We appreciated that they were able to help make suggestions and help us get more comfortable with taking a ton of photos, which is not something most of us do on a regular basis. Alan and Reese (photo and video team, day-of) were flexible and were able to accommodate last minute requests that we had. They helped to keep us moving along so we could capture all of the photos that we wanted to have.
The photos look amazing; the Isle Media team truly captured great shots!! Even though the day was a blur, it feels like we were able to relive the excitement and fun through the photos, which is what we wanted. It was crazy impressive how quickly the team turned the previews around. We were able to see a 15 second preview video and about 100 preview photos within 5 days of our wedding. We wanted to have a mix of posed photos, candid shots, and pictures of the décor, which they captured beautifully. We were super impressed with the quality of the video and photos and we wanted to thank the Isle Media team for everything they did to capture our special day!!!
