The best photographer on Oahu! Seriously, look no further than using Adam to be your photographer of choice on North Shore.
He was super flexible and responsive. (We had a flight delay and he was able to work with us.)
And, we had at least three different edits on our final family picture of choice and he made wind-whipped hair disappear and adjusted the light to make our final photo a 10/10.
Adam is great. Worth every penny!
Adam is awesome! He was so relaxed and took the stress out of wedding photography! He knew the venue well to know where to take the best pics, and the outcome was sensational!
His prices are excellent, the quality was amazing and his personality made working with Adam so much fun!
I couldn’t recommend Adam enough! Thank you for helping to make our wedding day sensational and capturing all our beautiful memories!
Adam was our photographer for our wedding in Hawaii at the end of August and he is amazing!! Adam is super easygoing, kind and responsive. He made our wedding day such a breeze and was a pleasure to work with.
We just saw all the photos he took and WOW what beautiful shots! He is such a professional he knew exactly which setting and background would work best! Highly recommend hiring Adam as your photographer for your next event!
Adam was both of ours first choice for photographer, and still surpassed our hopes. He was communicative and responsive to our questions/concerns, helped us understand timing, and gave helpful tips and insights in the planning process. He arrived on time, was engaging and discrete at the rights times, and professional throughout. We received our photos quicker than we expected and LOVED the photos, the only real problem was trying to narrow down our favorite shots. If I ever need any other photos in the future you can bet I’ll be reaching out to Adam.
Adam was such a pleasure to work with on our wedding day. Relaxed and professional, he put our nerves at ease from the very beginning. Our pictures turned out fantastic, and we couldn’t be happier with them! He captured us beautifully, and I will forever be thankful that we were photographed by this artist.
Fast forward to FOUR YEARS later. Adam reached out to let me know he was changing his electronic storage system, so I would need to be sure my photos were saved or they would be lost. He was so thoughtful to reach out to me and let me know this change was happening. After an embarrassing number of failed attempts on my part, I reached out to Adam for help to save my images. He DID IT ALL for me so that my photos would still be accessible to me. That speaks absolute volumes about his dedication to his clients. I was floored that four years later he went absolutely above and beyond to help us ensure our memories of that day would last a life time. Thank you so much, Adam.
My husband and I loved working with Adam! Prior to our wedding day, we met up with Adam at a beach in Oahu to take underwater pictures. Adam worked really hard to get us awesome pictures, even with difficult weather conditions. He also was super patient with me not being an excellent swimmer.
During our wedding day, Adam took pictures during the ceremony and reception. He is a very talented photographer, and we love looking back at the memories Adam captured. I would never hesitate to recommend Adam to anyone. Whether you're looking for a photographer for portraits or an event, he will go above and beyond to deliver high quality with a side of fun!
We chose Adam as our wedding photographer because he was also the wedding photographer for my sister's wedding 8 years ago. I had worked with him and seen his work so it made it easy for us to decide who we wanted. We really enjoyed working with him for our family photoshoot and our wedding because he's such an easygoing, friendly and professional guy. The colours in our photos were amazing and we're really happy with the turnout. The BEST part is that we got our wedding photos in TWO WEEKS! It's unheard of, I know. All our friends were shocked by how fast he got them done. Also, it was really sweet of him to rush a "few" photos for us to use in a slideshow for a wedding banquet we had back home the week after our wedding in Hawaii. By a few, I mean 100 photos. We're looking forward to working with him again in the future when we have even more additional family members!
Adam photographed our wedding on July 12,2016. Every aspect of the experience was absolutely wonderful! Adam is a very nice guy to work with. He was laid back, sweet, and funny. He fit right in with my family and he was great with the kids! He took several different shots throughout the evening and his eye for photos is amazing!!! We got our pictures back and I had no idea that they could look so beautiful! He framed the shots perfectly from unique perspectives and he made it look effortless the whole time he was photographing. If you are planning to hire Adam for your photography needs, I would recommend it 110%. I am so thankful for how well he captured that day with my family and I will cherish those pictures for many years to come. Every single one is a work of art.
My wife and I had Adam shoot photography at both our wedding and also a pre-wedding beach photo shoot. Both were well done and have timelessly captured memories of our special time in Hawaii.
Adam recommended a beach that was quiet along the North Shore and was absolutely stunning. He was flexible, easy to work with and also really easy going as a person. He also speaks Japanese!
We found with many vendors in Hawaii that they take a long time to reply, but Adam was exceptional. He replied within 24 hours to nearly all our questions and his timely responses made it much less stressful for us as we planned our destination wedding.
His photography skills are unquestionably great and also, he gave us all the originals to play with. Many photographers are very strict about only selling you the ones you choose, charging you a fortune, and never giving you the rest. We are thankful that Adam was so open about it.
We would highly recommend Adam to anyone in Hawaii for their wedding or other photography.
My husband, my family, the wedding party, and I could not be more happier with how the wedding photos from Adam Palmer Photography turned out. The photos are so natural and beautiful and fun. I can't wait to frame these photos and display them, and I've had the greatest time sharing the photos with family and friends. It was so great meeting and working with Adam well-- my husband and I thought he was so professional yet easygoing, and we appreciated how patient and friendly he was to not only us, but to our family, the wedding party, and other guests. Adam listened to our ideas but also had such great ideas of his own for the photos, which really helped create a smooth photo session after the wedding ceremony and during the sunset photos. The sunset photos were absolutely amazing, and we also really appreciated Adam staying extra at the reception when we were running a little behind during the program (without charging us extra).
Planning a destination wedding can be stressful but Adam was wonderful to work with from beginning to end! He was prompt with replying to emails and answered questions thoroughly. His web site is very informative and easy to work with. He was even able to suggest other vendors that he had worked well with in the past when I was having difficulty finding an officiant. The day of the wedding he showed up on time and was very friendly. Many of my family and friends commented at how nice he was. He was very receptive to getting the photos that I requested and also ideas of his own. He was great at organizing all the family mer so people weren't just standing around. He also took my husband and I, and the wedding party to other location. He had the photos edited and online within two weeks for us to view and download. His work is fantastic and I am so glad he was able to capture all the wonderful moments of our wedding day.
As a hair and make up stylist in the wedding industry, I work with so many photographers and have only great things to say about Adam.
He is punctual, professional, experienced and talented.
His style is lovely and he has a way of capturing special moments without you even knowing he is there. It is always a joy working with Adam and team. You can rest assured you will be in good hands.
Aloha and best of luck planning your wedding,

What can I say about Adam Palmer that hasn't already been said?
We looked and researched long and hard when trying to choose a photographer for our wedding on the windward coast of Oahu. It was difficult making a decision without actually being able to meet with anyone, being that we did not live on the island. Based on reviews, his portfolio and pricing, Adam seemed to be exactly what we were looking for. He made everything easy and was extremely laid back and easy to work with. He arrived early and left late. The pictures that he took were nothing short of amazing. The staged photos that Adam took were excellent but where he really shines is in capturing moments. The photos he took allow us to relive the memory of the great day we had celebrating our wedding with friends and family. Along with his amazing eye for photos, Adam is an all around great guy and was a fun presence to have at the wedding as well.
I strongly recommend Adam without any hesitation. My wife and I will be returning to Oahu in the future and will be making a call to Adam to take more photos when we do. Amazing quality, value and service. 100% in my book!
My husband and I strongly recommend hiring Adam as your wedding photographer. He was highly recommended by one of our friends who hired him a few years ago for her wedding, and we are so happy we heard about him!
Our experience with Adam was outstanding. From our very first contact til the big day, he was very prompt in communication (responding to emails, phone calls, etc.). On our wedding day, my husband and I felt so comfortable working with him, and when we took shots together it felt really natural (vs feeling posed). Adam is incredibly laid back, but still really professional at the same time, and obviously an experienced photographer. We truly feel that he captured all the special moments in our day - once we received our photos, we felt like we didn't even need the videographer we hired!
We also really liked that all his packages included full photo rights. Besides giving you a cd of all images, he'll upload your photos at full quality to his website. We shared the link with our friends and family and got so many compliments!
Adam was a great photographer. He knew his shots like the back of his hand and he almost he took over 800 pictures!
Adam was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. We chose Adam because of his prices and reviews. We liked that on his website he stated he believed that the pictures should be the bride and grooms not his and that he gave all rights to the pictures and even gave you a disk. He had several packages to choose from,we just went with the basic 2 hours of shooting, no editing or prints. The day before he sent me a text reconfirming which was great! On the day of he was there even before we were, and he started shooting immediately and didnt stop for the entire 2 hours we had him booked. A few weeks after the wedding he posted the pictures online for us to view and download if we'd like, and shortly after the high resolution disk came in the mail. I still look at the pictures every night, I just cant get enough of them. He did an amazing job and took wonderful pictures. He made sure to ask us what kind of pictures we wanted. We gave him free rein and I'm glad we did because shots I would have never thought of he took. He is a talented photographer and I want to get married all over again just so I can use his services another time. I highly highly recommend Adam
Adam is a BEST photographer ever! I left Brazil for married me in Hawaii and he was chosen to my special day. Always happy, smiling and patient with us, made amazing photos.
I and my husband will be grateful forever! I recommend Adam. Thank you Adam!

Adam was great and had our photos back to us in less than 2 weeks; online and disc in the mail.
We are more than pleased with our choice of photographer. Adam took unbelievable pictures and he seemed to be having just as much fun as us. My bridesmaids and I wanted to do lots of fun shots (jumping, throwing bouquets...) and he did a great job capturing them all. He even offered to drive 2 of my guests who missed the shuttle to our reception location! I definitely recommend Adam if you want to have great pictures and a great time taking them!
My husband and I hired Adam Palmer as our photographer after looking at websites and our budget. We decided to go with Adam and chose the basic package due to our small budget. I was given recommendations for other photographers and saw other photographers work around the island and honestly was a little sad that we couldn't afford the "fancy" photographer. I couldn't be more happy with our choice. Adam was excellent! He was happy, fun, and professional and made the daunting task of taking our wedding photos feel very relaxed and natural. He was great about responding to all my questions and concerns through email and by phone. Sometimes he was so quick, I forgot there was a five hour time difference between us! Our wedding pictures are everything I had wanted and more. We have great traditional photographs of us and our family and friends, and nontraditional pictures that are more like great art than pictures. I am totally impressed with this guy, and will look him up first when we go back to Hawaii with our family. I am so happy that we went with Adam, and was even told by one of our vendors that the other photographer we had considered could be a b*** and we would have a lot of fun with Adam. We recieved our picture disks and now have full copyright rights to reproduce the pictures any way we want. We also have the option to purchase our pictures online off of Adam's website. Adam was a joy to work with and we are more than happy with our wedding pictures. I would recommed him to anyone wanting professional photographs in Hawaii; you will be more than happy with the results!
After checking out many photographers online as well as at the Wedding Expo, I kept going back to Adam. His photography captures those intimate moments in a wedding that are often missed. We were able to customize our wedding package exactly as we wanted. Adam was fantastic to capture all those special moments and fit in just like a member of the family. Our pictures were available to view online in about 1 1/2 weeks after our wedding and within 2-3 weeks we had the CD, pictures and photo album. He is a super person and fantastic photographer. You can't go wrong with Adam Palmer!
Adam was great at our hotel, ceremony, beach, and reception. His love for kids helped keep my 3-year old niece entertained while still able to catch the golden shots.
Although Adam is great, I might suggest hiring another photographer in addition to Adam just for the "getting ready" part, as he usually works alone. He got beautiful shots of the misses getting ready, and I'm jealous!
I am so thrilled with the breath-taking photos Adam shot of our wedding. We had a VERY small ceremony and he took almost 600 photos, capturing every moment of our special evening. I left a lot of the decisions to Adam, as to what time the sunset would be the best for our beach-side wedding, and where the ceremony should be to have the most beautiful background. We also used his recommendation for our officiant.
Adam got our photos to us so quickly, and allowed us to do whatever we want with them, with no restrictions.
They are amazingly beautiful. I still cry when I look at them!
Adam was highly recommended by a few of the people I met while planning. He was willing to what ever to get great shots. Very nice guy and I was able to get my photos on a CD so I could print as many as I wanted.
The photos were very real (yet good). He didn't take forever setting people up for shots...so the picture time wasn't as long as expected. The lighting and everything in the pictures are great. Also I got to have the CDs and rights to all my photos.
