Aloha Kelly Photography

dance and got amazing pictures. Knowing my pictures were going to turn out great really took a lot of worry out of the wedding day. She does amazing work both with clients and on film! I will (and have) recommended her to anyone in search of a photographer!

picture. Our engagement pictures ended up being a rainy, cloudy and very humid day and of course the complete opposite of what you are wanting to make you feel beautiful and flattering. She of course capture the love we share for each other, instead of how hot and sweaty we were and how my curls had become flat. I was nervous to look at the pictures because I felt that I looked awful and couldn't imagine anything had turned out well. Well she of course provide me wrong. I was blown away! I couldn't believe the beauty she was able to capture and turn how uncomfortable I was into something amazing. So when it came to my Boudoir session I knew I was in good hands. I was still very nervous and didn't know what to expect. I was keeping this a secret from my now husband because I was doing it for a Wedding gift. I had to keep everything to myself and had to sneak around the day of so he wouldn't know something was up. Welp, that was hard and nearly impossible but the surprise was ohhh so worth it! I have never felt so beautiful, strong, sexy and comfortable in my own body in my entire life. Aloha made me feel all those things. With barely knowing her, having this connection with her and questions and answers leading up to the photo shoot was such a bonus and confidence booster. When it came to my wedding day Aloha was taken by another bride which was sad to find out. But she promised me the best service even though she wouldn't be there and made me feel so confident and comfortable again with using her mentor as our head shooter. And I can honestly say besides missing her on my Wedding Day I am so glad I trusted her. She was so right Paul was everything she is and may be a little more, only because he’s been around longer.  I am so grateful for Paul and Kristen on my wedding day and even though Aloha wasn't there I was care free and knew I was in the best hands. I highly recommend Aloha and her team they are truly very professional and trustworthy. Thank you for being there in some of the best times of my life and the most memorable times too.

ay of the wedding her and her assistant Jen were wonderful. My husband and I did not do a first look, so I went on the bus with the rest of the wedding party and Aloha offered to take Mike to Piper Palm House....She thinks of everything:) Aloha ended up being our wedding coordinator that day because she is just that good and she made the day run so smooth for us. Mike and I felt that we could relax and enjoy ourselves because we knew we were in good hands!! I would (and have) recommend Aloha to anyone that I know is getting married and looking for a great photographer. We cannot wait to see our wedding photos and we are so happy that we chose Aloha for our special day:)

morable shots. She came to the salon at 8:30 AM, then to the venue for pre- wedding photos, then on to the park for even more pre- wedding photos. Aloha really went above and beyond to get the perfect shots! She took photos of the ceremony, formal family photos and candid shots during the reception. I know she put in at least a 12 hour day! We cannot wait to see the finished product and we know all the photos will be fantastic! We were extremely pleased and would HIGHLY recommend Aloha Kelly.

ng we were running a little behind because of a hair glitch and she took charge and made the pictures still happen like I wanted. She was professional and great at getting everyone in the pictures to do what was needed to get the shot. I loved the way she took charge and made the pictures for the wedding amazing! I am still waiting for the final results but she sent me some sneak peeks and they were stunning!! I highly recommend Aloha for any special event you have. She makes you feel like you have known each other forever and makes everything so comfortable and fun. The team she brought were amazing and they way she worked with Zack, our videographer was just the icing on the cake. They acted like they came as one package and meshed together so perfectly! I couldn't have been more pleased with Aloha and her photography skills and coordination for so many aspects of the wedding. 100% satisfaction!

ake sure the day runs smoothly and will help out anyway she can throughout the day while capturing details, and she did just that. I knew the importance of picking a photographer as the images could be the last memory I have to remember our day. Aloha did not disappoint us and did an amazing job capturing our wedding to last a lifetime.

but she was particularly pleased with her photographer. Upon meeting Aloha, I knew I would love her as well! Aloha and her partner, Paul, are simply the best. They were so helpful the day of our wedding, even going the extra mile to help wrangle our niece and nephew into family photos. I have only seen a few teasers but they look gorgeous and I cannot wait to see the finished products! I have always said that I don't care much for taking photos or having them taken of me, but Aloha may have made me into a convert! Thank you so much

ime together. She has a warmth in her soul that comes through her art. She sees light unlike any other photographer I've ever worked with. Because of this, I've been able to use her for other professional photo opportunities in music and marketing. Aloha is worth EVERY PENNY you will spend with her. If you gave her 5 bucks, she could turn it into an irreplaceable piece of photographic art that you will cherish for years to come. She is a rose among many thorns. Don't make the mistake of going with anyone else. Not only did she come photograph our wedding, she came on a last minute elopement to a destination wedding on a secluded beach and she squeezed it in between other shoots she had. She spent hours in airports and flying losing sleep so she could make it work for us.... You want someone who will go the extra mile for you??? Aloha Photography... PERIOD.

ming a photographer so she knows the best angles, positions that will flatter anyone, tricks to do with your lips or eyes that will make the photos turn out better, etc. This knowledge of being in front of the camera and behind it is priceless and something you won’t get from most other photographers. So, her photography is great but you probable already know that if you are reading this review; what stands out about Aloha is her personality!! She is so sweet and kind and encouraging and helpful! She somehow manages to get into really scary positions so that you have the perfect shot from the perfect angle!! She has become a personal friend of mine over the course of the almost 5 years I’ve known her and been getting photos taken because she is impossible not to like! I’ve always dreaded pictures but she has changed that for me, it’s so fun shooting with her that you forget about your nerves and then once you see the final product you are just completely blown away at how you look in them and how super high quality they are. I’ve had other photographer friends tell me how much they liked her use of lighting and that her photography is very skilled which means a lot coming from her peers! She makes things affordable because she wants everyone to be able to afford “boutique” quality photography. She is passionate about what she does because she loves helping people. If you are looking for a hidden gem in all of the high quality (usually high cost) photographers out there you have found it! Another thing I love about Aloha is how flexible she is, that’s rare to find especially in wedding photography. I would say if you love her work as much as everyone has stated they do, contact her and tell her what you are looking for; I’m positive that she can find a package that will work for you!

day and staying within our budget. I was so thrilled that she and her team arrived early in the day and stayed until the end of the reception (about 11 hours). Aloha showed me a few pictures as we went along throughout the day, which gave me a sneak peak of what sort of shots she was getting. She kept the photos moving on schedule and our wedding day couldn't have gone any smoother. She and her team were so personable and enjoyable to work with and kept us all at ease throughout the day. We are waiting on our pictures still but we loved what she sent us in our sneak peak after the wedding and are really satisfied with the quality of her work!

e wedding but that's normal and exceptional in some cases. I would highly recommend Aloha to anyone her and Paul were very interested in making my day and engagement shoot perfect.

wever I did not receive a single email/text/call stating my images would be late. Upon contacting her I have received nothing but lies on the dates images/products would come to me. For example Nov. 11th "USBs are going out next week"...I'm still waiting for the USB (Dec. 23rd). She calls this "necessary extensions." I have left voicemails and texts and will never receive a reply for over a week after reaching out 2-3 times. Her "assistants" are handling communication. I have received 1 email regarding my order since my wedding. However if you're a new bride/want her business she'll reply within minutes. If you are really patient and don't mind the amount of time it will take to see photos/product then you will be happy with the end result. I will never use them again because of the lack of customer service and professionalism she displays .

o make us comfortable and capture our moments. Neither I, nor my husband, are models, but you wouldn't know that by looking at the photos Aloha took of us. She caught us in natural moments, gave us the advice we needed, and let us just be ourselves. And in that process, she captured the best us there is. Aloha exceeds expectations in the warmth, generosity, and talent departments. She captures light (which light is, evidently, the key to the it all) to make every picture special. Choosing the right photographer is critical. You'll find that with so much going on, you won't be able to remember it all. With Aloha, you'll be able to enjoy your day, as perfect as it was, for years to come. Thanks, Aloha! You really did make our day incredible!!

ve that she listens to the customers ideas as well to get the best photos! Highly recommend her. She is easy to work with, flexible, and a fantastic photographer!

now! She's compassionate and kind and works around your schedule to fully accommodate your every need. You can tell that she loves her job in the amount of attention to detail that she puts into all her photos and edits. I've used other photographers before, and by far, she's the best! Love, love, love Aloha and all her fabulous work!

you book, she is yours all day long. A lot of other photographers we looked at gave quotes in 6-8-10 hour increments, but with AKP, they are there whenever you need for how long you need. My hair and makeup started at 6am, so it was important to me that I didn't have to stress about not having enough time with the photographer. Her pricing is very reasonable to begin with, but this feature makes it even more reasonable! They also captured all those little details that I was too busy to think about on my wedding day. She is so kind, down to earth, and most importantly, patient! I am very particular, and she never batted an eye at my requests. I've been very hands on with the creation of my wedding album, and she never seems annoyed with me :) I have recommended her to so many of my friends, and all of their pictures turn out great too. I will continue using AKP as my family grows, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a high quality, easy-going, reasonably priced wedding or family photographer.

s as well and I'm so thankful to have had her for our big day.

er services in the future!

how wonderful they are. Great company!

thankful for that! We had a huge wedding party and I couldn't think of all the pictures we wanted... thankfully she was on top of that too. She thought of everything!! During our reception, they were everywhere! Family members even said, "I don't know who will be more tired, you or your photographers!" We had such a great experience and we just love all our pictures from our wedding day!

tograph us with our TWO dogs! All of the items we have ordered from her have been really high quality. She is very fast to respond to emails, and so approachable! I was never afraid to talk to her about anything. If you went with Aloha you get a fantastic group of photographers!

l moments in our future. She truly is the best photographer.

well as with modeling so I loved that she had been on both sides of the camera. She was very personable, wanting to meet for coffee while getting the details of my wedding. She definitely went above and beyond in every single aspect. She spent time before the wedding researching picture ideas specific to my venue. The day of the wedding, she had 3 shooters who were with me from the minute I started getting ready to the end of the night, so I know that nothing important was missed. In a nutshell, Aloha is amazing. Two of my close friends have already booked her for their weddings and I will continue to use her for family pictures.
