Booking Hand and Heart Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our engagement and wedding. Trevor captured our engagement shoot beautifully, and both Trevor and his w...
ife, Yuyu, were there to photograph our wedding day. Their work was so stunning that several of our friends even asked if they travel for overseas weddings! My husband and I aren’t naturally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t know how to pose, but Trevor and Yuyu guided us with such ease and kindness. Their direction made us feel so at ease that we could just enjoy the moment. The photos turned out beyond anything we could’ve imagined, absolutely breathtaking. Our friends and family couldn’t stop gushing over how beautiful they were. When I saw the photos, I genuinely cried. I’ve never felt so beautiful or seen myself that way until I saw the moments they captured. They documented not just the visuals, but the emotions and essence of our day.
Thank you, Trevor and Yuyu, for capturing the most important day of our lives with such care and artistry. The chemistry we had with you made it all feel so natural, like working with friends who just happened to be incredibly talented photographers.

Trevor was absolutely incredible! He captured our elopement in such a beautiful and authentic way, and we truly enjoyed our time with him. From the moment we met, we felt completel...
y at ease it was like spending time with a friend rather than a photographer.
When we received the photos, it genuinely felt like we were back there again on our special day. We’ll treasure them forever and are so thankful to Trevor for that. His communication was excellent, his pricing more than fair, and his editing style captured the natural beauty and emotion of the day perfectly.
I’m usually a bit more comfortable in front of the camera than my husband, but Trevor made James feel completely at ease. He respected our needs, wants, and comfort the entire time, which meant so much to us.
When we went to the beach for photos, he made it so fun and relaxed. Later, when James and I wanted a quiet moment to ourselves, he was so respectful and gave us space, still captured one beautiful photo from afar, which ended up being one of our absolute favourites.
Trevor is kind, talented, and professional, and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough 🤍 You would regret not choosing Trevor as he was honestly fantastic! We couldn't thank him enough! Thank you Trevor!

Trevor and his wife Yuyu are absolutely amazing! They are thoughtful, intentional, easy going, fun, but most importantly, make you feel at home. Coming from someone who is so awkwa...
rd in front of a camera, he ensures your vulnerability is safe with him. His detail to editing is meticulous, and our gallery was nothing short of exceptional. If you want that dreamy timeless feel to your photos, Trevor excels in capturing this feeling. Sometimes, photographers can make you feel uncomfortable, but not with Trevor and Yuyu. I highly HIGHLY recommend Trevor and his team, you honestly won’t regret it. Thank you Trevor for making my wedding day so magical and memorable!

This review is long overdue! We LOVEDDDDD working with Trevor. We worked with him a year prior to our wedding and communication was so seamless. We had our engagement shoot as part...
of our package and he made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. All of us have the same humor so it made everything even more fun. Whatever vision we had, he made it happen and we were down for any vision he wanted to do as well. On our wedding day, he prioritized getting our sunset photos and that was the one thing that we wanted most. Not only was Trevor and his team photographers, they also played a role to make sure my husband and I were taken care of throughout the day. I can't wait to work with them again on any future milestones we have (maternity, family, etc).

Super happy with how our engagement photos turned out! My fiancé is quite picky with photography styles but Trevor’s portfolio stood out so we decided to book him as our wedding da...
y photographer.
Just weeks before our big day, we made a last minute decision to do engagement photos and turned to Trevor. He was very accommodating even on such short notice and was able to do our shoot. We had requested just a handful photos back to post on social media and to display on our wedding day. To our surprise, the turnaround time was amazingly fast - we got our gallery in just 3 days and not only that, we received over a hundred beautifully edited photos back. Everyone I told this to was absolutely shocked. We’re so appreciative and couldn’t be happier with the service and quality. Trevor knows his stuff - my fiancé and have both never gotten photos taken professionally before so we relied heavily on Trevor to advise us on poses and it turned out to be a fun experience. I can’t wait to have our photos taken by Trevor and Yuyu on our big day! Part II review coming soon.

Trevor and Yuyu were the absolute dream team! I asked for pictures that I could look at over and over for the rest of my life and still cry about. They seriously delivered and we c...
ouldn’t have asked for any more. I expected a handful of pictures that I would truly truly love, but they delivered entire ALBUMS of such spectacular, professional and beautifully edited pictures that felt so authentic, joyful and vibrant. My husband and I did a pre-wedding shoot with Trevor a few days prior to the wedding. Not only was Trevor super communicative, accessible and flexible, he made great suggestions and really listened to what we were hoping for. On the day of the pre-wedding shoot, we got rained out - literally soaking. Instead of panicking or rescheduling, we embraced the chaos and had SO MUCH FUN. The end result was the moodiest, most romantic and dreamy pictures we could have ever asked for!!! On the day of our wedding, Yuyu and Trevor jumped into action and already knew exactly what to do. They were flexible with the unpredictable changes, so great with the people and vendors and were completely on it for every key moment that needed to be captured. My husband and I were really disappointed that there were so many aspects of the wedding we didn't get to see on the day of. Now that I've finally seen the pictures, I am sooooo grateful to be able to see and feel what I didn't get to the first time around. They were not only able to capture the beauty of the wedding and our amazing venue, but more impressively, were able to capture the feelings and intimacy of the wedding in their photographs. Thank you Trevor and Yuyu. You have literally given us something we can hold onto and cherish for the rest of our lives.

We found Trevor through seeking films and loved his work. We hired him for 8 hours on our wedding day and our engagement shoot. He and his wife, Yuyu, shot our wedding and I am so ...
grateful to them. They were amazing, got spectacular shots, and were so kind. The turnaround time for our gallery was about 4 weeks, and we were incredibly impressed with the quick turnaround time and the spectacular shots they got. Hire this dynamic duo if you want to relive such a special day over and over again through a gorgeous lens.

Trevor’s portfolio caught our attention as we were trying to have some retro and boho vibes in our wedding photos. We asked Trevor to join our wedding team as our photographer and ...
we could not be more happy with the outcome! Our photos turned out amazing and It feels unique and special.
We first met Trevor during our engagement photoshoot 6 months before our wedding. We wanted a sunrise photoshoot and Trevor did not mind waking up and driving at 5am to make our request come true.
On our wedding day, working with Trevor and his wife was fantastic as they collaborated so well. They both captured great, funny and silly moments with the two of us and our many photos of our guests as well.
Looking at our wedding photos, it feels like we could re-live the moment and remember every single details. Many thanks to Trevor and team!

sionate about capturing our special day.
On the wedding day, Trevor seamlessly blended into the background, capturing candid moments that we will treasure forever while also guiding us through posed shots that felt natural and fun. The creativity and attention to detail in every photo are astounding, and they truly brought our vision to life.
The final images were delivered on time, beautifully edited, and exceeded all our expectations. We’ve received so many compliments from friends and family about how perfectly the photos capture the love and joy of the day.
If you’re looking for a talented, reliable, and warm photographer who will go above and beyond, we highly recommend Hand and Heart Photography. We’ll cherish these photos for a lifetime!

You’re seriously missing out a big time if you’re not working with Seeking Films for your wedding and engagement photoshoots. Every single member on the team is super enthusiastic,...
catering, respectful, experienced, communicative, and most importantly, EXTREMELY TALENTED.
My husband and I (and ALL my family members and friends) are so in love with the wedding and adventure session photos - we received the photos pretty quickly, about a month following the wedding, despite of it being their peak season. We are a still trying to get over how amazing they turned out, and it took quite a while for us to make the final selections because every single shot was a gem.
A huge shoutout to Trevor for so patiently working with us for the adventure photo sessions despite of our tight schedule. Thank you so much once again for sharing your amazing talents with us, Trevor, Yuyu, Jack, and Rena - you’re the best!

They made us feel super comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, and went above and beyond to get so many incredible shots. We couldn’t believe how many little moments in between the big ones they managed to capture, and we feel like our photos really reflect the essence of the day. We will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives!

Seeking Films hit it out of the park for my wedding in October 2023! I knew they would because we did our engagement shoot with them, but the wedding blew us away. They got so many...
shots I didn't even think of. They got so many candid & artsy shots that look INCREDIBLE. I'm obsessed with all of our photos. And Trevor is QUICK. I mean quicker than anybody else's photographers. We got our wedding photos within the month, and our engagement photos within the week. Like what?! The whole team is so professional throughout the day as well, which is key because you spend all day with them! I loved working with their photo & video team, they're the best!!

y with. They are fun, funny, and professional and we had a blast on our wedding day hanging out with them.
The photos they took are stunning. They perfectly captured the magical/fun/joyous/heartfelt moments. We love looking at our photos and reliving the magic of our wedding. Trevor and Yuyu have a great eye for detail and composition, and they know how to use the natural light and scenery to create stunning shots.
We were also impressed by how fast they delivered our photos. We received our full wedding album of over 700 photos just two and a half weeks after our wedding. That is unheard of in the industry, and we loved having our photos right away.
Trevor was also super helpful and responsive throughout the whole wedding planning process. He gave us great recommendations for other vendors and helped us figure out what kind of arch and florals we wanted.
We highly recommend Trevor and Yuyu to anyone who is getting married on O’ahu. They are the best wedding photographers you can find, and they will make your wedding day unforgettable. Thank you, Trevor and Yuyu, for everything!

was extremely personable, making us feel comfortable and excited our whole session. He helped us with posing and knew exactly what type or look we were envisioning simply by interacting with us and using his expertise. Overall, the experience was beyond wonderful, and we could not be happier with the results. The photos look amazing, and all our friends and family are as obsessed as we are! If you’re on the fence about who to book, Seeking Films is a no brainer. We couldn’t imagine anyone else taking our photos because of how everything turned out. This was exactly what we wanted, and Trevor / Seeking Films delivered more than expected. Words can’t describe how ecstatic we are with the results. (:

Seeking Films is everything you could ever ask for in a wedding videography and photography team!
My wife and I got married in late August 2022 at a venue called Lanikuhonua on Oa...
hu. I personally have a passion for filming and editing videos, so I knew I wanted a team that also shared that passion and would put some love into capturing our wedding day.
I came across Seeking Films when researching wedding venues on Oahu. Their wedding videos felt different than typical videos I had seen, and they were all edited so beautifully. Going down the YouTube rabbit hole led me to their personal channel called “wegofilm.” It was here that I saw this lovely couple (Jack & Rena) who were part of the team behind all these amazing wedding videos. Their personal channel was full of creativity, happiness, and you could tell they were in love and truly enjoyed filmmaking.
From the moment we started speaking with the Seeking Films team we knew we were in good hands. They were friendly and professional. They truly wanted to know what we had envisioned for our wedding day and how they could capture this moment for us. Looking back, we are extremely happy with our decision. They captured and edited such wonderful videos and photos for us.
I can’t go without specifically mentioning our wonderful photographer Trevor at Seeking Films. It was an easy decision to hire their photographer because the 3 of them have a lot experience working together. Trevor was great at helping us feel comfortable and somehow managed to be in all the right places at exactly the right moments.
My apologies for the long post we’re just really excited for the way our everything turned out. Thanks again to Rena, Jack and Trevor at Seeking Films!
Here is a link to the video the amazing video they created for us

When we were originally planning our wedding ( way back in 2019 ), we were very interested in seeking films because of their very unique style ( from the many photographers we have...
looked into, this was a very easy decision for us to make based on their portfolio). Due to COVID + restrictions in both the US and China/Korea, we had to postpone our wedding for 3 years, and seeking films has been incredibly understanding and flexible to allow us in rescheduling our wedding photoshoot date.
Fast forward to 2023, Trevor and Yuyu, who were our photographers during our wedding day did an amazing job with everything and the end result photos really below us away! We loved every single photo that they took and edited. Words really can't express how amazing the photos were ( they were also EXTREMELY fast in finishing the photos!). In addition to the amazing photos, we also had tons of fun during our photoshoot - we couldn't have asked for a cooler photographer
We will definitely be recommending Seeking Films to all of our friends/family/acquaintances who are planning to get married/have a photoshoot in Hawaii ! For all of you who are planning your wedding, investing in the seeking films team as your photography team will be the best investment you can make.
TL;DR: Choose seeking films as your wedding photographer. It's the easiest choice to make.

made it easy to feel like ourselves -- cute and silly, so we saw our genuine personalities shine through. We also got some romantic, glamorous shots thanks to their tips of how to pose, where to look, or how long to kiss for. Since our wedding was over a year ago, we have albums/videos we love to share and I'm happy that some friends have used their services too with our personal recommendation.

I am so picky & I did a ton of homework before booking photographers & videographers for my wedding and engagement shoot. I wanted something a little moodier, that didn't look like...
every cookie cutter wedding photo that was like your-iPhone-but-better. I loved Seeking Films' style & work. That moody-but-clear-but-blurry-where-it-made-sense style that was so hard to find.
Working with them was amazing. First of all, they're so chill, and you want that vibe around on stressful days. Second, Trevor helped me & my fiance pose - which is guidance we desperately needed. They were so helpful throughout the process & answered all of our questions, going above & beyond to make every one of my requests come true.
The result is amazing. I was literally screaming as I saw the photos - they came out better than I could ever imagine! Also VERY FAST turnaround time. I didn't know I needed this, but I absolutely did because I actually wanted to see how my engagement pictures turned out so I could give my wedding makeup artist feedback in a timely manner. They were done SO fast I couldn't believe it. Highly recommend - you won't regret it!

Seek no further with them, they definitely deliver quality photos that transcend you back into the very moment. As we look back on our photos, we feel the love and warmth that our day brought us. When we watched our video… waterworks!! They captured our day and wrapped it into a beautiful story. The whole group is genuine, professional and they make you feel like you’re part of their ohana. 100000/10 recommend! Thank you to the sweetest couples for showing us love on our day! Trevor, Yuyu, Jack and Rena are incredible.

Trevor was AMAZING. We were one of those weddings that had to postpone for 2 years because of the friggin pandemic. But that did not slow Trevor’s enthusiasm for us, he was ride or...
die for our wedding.
He was so much fun on the wedding day, he brought the laughs, the fun, the excitement and most importantly his great eye for an incredible shot.
We went with the Light Photo package which is 6hrs of coverage/2 photographers/photos edited to color/contrast/lighting. This was perfect for us because we didn’t really want photos of us getting ready (like hair/mu or putting dresses on) so the timing worked great for us. They arrived at 2p and left around 8p.
My wife and I had quite a few VERY specific staged photos (we wanted to match a lot of still images from our fav movies we love, with us and our bridal party and family members) that we wanted to get and Trevor and his wife (who was our other photographer on the day) made sure we got them all. When we originally told them this idea we had to do this for 8+ photos, they didn’t flinch. They were excited and even planned out the timing of to get each shot.
Trevor’s wife even came with our spreadsheet printed out so everyone could see which poses to do which was BEYOND helpful. Trevor made sure the lenses he used would get the right angle/shot to match. And what was even cooler he was so fast with this part so wasn't like it wasted time or anything.
Here is one example of Trevor going above and beyond: I wanted a BIG group photo of everyone at the wedding from a high up angle, normally you’d probably have to get a drone to do this, but Trevor made it happen by running up a big hilltop to get the shot. The photo turned out better than I expected and we can see EVERYONE that came to our wedding from such a cool vantage point.
I didn’t ONLY want our staged photos, after all I knew from seeing Seeking Films website that I wanted photos that Trevor wanted to take and capture through his talented eye. I was blown away with the results. What I also loved was that Trevor and his wife got amazing photos that I could never even thought of and things I will always want to remember. Like photos of all our guests pre-ceremony and pre-reception so we could see what they were doing when my wife and I were off getting hair/mu done or taking couples photos.
To top it all off Trevor’s color correction is so cinematic that your photos don’t just look like any ole photo, they look epic.
If you are looking for a wedding photographer Seeking Films is it!

Having the honor to work with Seeking Films was beyond what we could imagine. Their creativity, skills, and talents are absolutely unmatched. Not only were they able to capture eve...
ry beautiful moment throughout our wedding day, they allowed us to relive our special day through a series of unbelievable shots. They have really proven that a picture is worth a thousand words. Everyone who saw our photos were blown away by their magic. In fact, we have been told countless times that our photos should be published in magazines and wedding platforms globally because that is the quality of work Seeking Films provided. They caught the beauty in every single detail and because of that, all the memories will be lived on forever. You could truly feel all the emotions through the photos, even if you didn't attend the wedding.
Seeking Films was a blast to work with and it really felt as if they were family! The one thing my husband and I discussed before the wedding was how we noticed other photographers not being discreet and in the way of big moments at other weddings. We were hoping this wouldn't be the case at ours and it was not. The Seeking Films team was so respectful and polite while managing to gather all the perfect shots. You hardly noticed they were there! Their individual personalities were unique, honest, and very personable. They were truly a joy to work with!
To our surprise, they were able to turn around an entire wedding album in just about a month. We were shocked! The one thing everyone anxiously waits for after the big day are the wedding photos. Not only did we receive them quickly but the style and quality of the photos were breathtaking. We searched and searched for who we thought would be the perfect crew to shoot our wedding and we are extremely happy we went with Seeking Films! Our wedding was on Maui so they traveled from Oahu to do both Photo and Video which made our decision so easy. We could not recommend a more incredible team to make all your wedding photo dreams come true. We promise you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you Seeking Films for the spending the day with us. No question that we would work with you all again in a heartbeat!

Trevor does a dope wookie impression. 3) They were easy to communicate with and accommodate us when we needed extra time to be added to the shoot. 4) They made my wife and I, who are the opposite of photogenic, get into some awesome looks for the shots.

Seeking Films was suggested to us by our wedding planner & after reaching out to numerous photographers to find the right fit, we're so glad we decided to work with Seeking Films!
...
If you want to have bomb wedding/engagement photos that you can't stop staring at for hours and work with someone who is easy going and professional then they're the perfect people for you!
We booked with Trevor for our wedding which included an engagement shoot. We really wanted our 5 yo corgi to be in our engagement photos and shared with Trevor that we wanted to do a city vibe shoot as well as beach photos, which he was totally cool with bringing our dog (extra points for that!). Trevor recommended different spots for us and even suggested to shoot on a Sunday for free parking and less traffic which btw was perfect!!!
My fiance and I have never done professional photos before so I was a little nervous and hoped we wouldn't look awkward. Trevor helped us pose and gave us different prompts as well! Trevor has such a great sense of humor we were laughing and having such a great time. We even got to meet his wife and his baby who also helped to get our corgi to smile in photos as well!
I was surprised to get our engagement photos back so quick - like in a week! Trevor gave us a link to our photos and each photo was edited so nicely and the quality was chefs kiss*. I'm OBSESSED with our photos I literally wanted to cry when I saw them! If i could upload our whole gallery here I probably would haha. I can't wait to work with Trevor again in December for our wedding.

After more than a decade of following wedding photographers and having worked with DSLRs for even longer, I knew I wasn’t going to be interested in most photographers and their wed...
ding shots. A lot of wedding photos end up being lovely portrait shots, but I wanted more. I didn't want the typical beach shots (despite being in Hawaii), and I was especially picky knowing how much I hate being photographed since I feel like I look stupid 99% of the time. I went through dozens of Hawaiian wedding photographer options and axed all of them almost immediately. Then I found I found Seeking Films.
The website portfolio really showcased the vibes I was drawn to: moody filters, beautiful lighting, excellent framing, with touches of bright humour. Trevor, our photographer, knew exactly what I was looking for and even helped map out our our awkward request of splitting up our session over two days and different locations. He was a professional to the fullest during a time where anxieties and stress levels were running a bit high, which I am so grateful for. He knew exactly how to direct us, found us the best spots and best lighting, and basically helped make wedding photography magic. Months later, people I barely know come up to me and let me know that they are blown away by our beautiful wedding shots I posted on social media.
I couldn't have manifested a more perfect collision of worlds. Our only splurge on our destination wedding was photography - we skipped and skimped on almost everything else - and it was 100% the best call. I can't recommend Trevor and Seeking Films more.

ur trip to Hawaii. We went through full albums of multiple photographers who are well known on instagram. However, none of them blew away like trevor’s photos did. Our wedding planner in Miami had her sister's photos taken by Trevor and highly highly recommended him. We cannot be happier with our decision. Trevor is incredibly talented and very passionate about his work. He went above and beyond when taking our photos and editing them later. We would be wrapping up in one location and he would RUN towards sunlight to get amazing photos. We had so much fun with him. We got our album back in a week (!!!!) and couldn’t stop smiling and laughing throughout the whole album. He sent us SO many photos. It looked like he was at multiple places at once. He got photos from different angles and lights, our photos just look AMAZING. Our friends and family are all blown away too. After seeing our photos, my friend also booked him right away. I can't thank Trevor enough and, if you are looking for a photographer, just BOOK him!!

First off, yes, you should absolutely choose seeking films. You’ll thank me later! My husband and I had researched many different photography/cinematography companies, but when we ...
saw Trevor’s profile, we knew we found the one! We loved the candid, glowiness (is that a word?) and natural feel to all of his photos. I reached out via email and his response was very prompt! We even had a chat over the phone (still in a pandemic & I’m from the mainland) to discuss my millions of questions lol. The entire time it felt like I was having a conversation with a friend. Finally, day of the shoot my family and I were so nervous! We had never done a professional family shoot, and we were worried that our poses and facial expressions would match that. We met Trevor on location and he quickly helped ease our fears. He gave great prompts and tricks to make us feel like we were just hanging out at the park with our kids. Throughout the entire shoot he always made sure each of us was okay and even offered the kids breaks. During our adventure it was awesome to see his spurts of inspiration when the right lighting would peak through the clouds and/or through the trees. By the end of the session it had felt like we were just hanging out with family and taking photos! We also got our photos back much faster than I expected!! The moment I opened the album I cried actual tears lol. I had been so worried about my hair and possibly looking so awkward, but there was NONE of that in any of our photos. My family and I all agree that finding Trevor/seeking films was/is such a blessing! We even decided on the spot to hire him for our wedding! Thank you so much for experience, and we can’t wait to work with you again! Mahalo 💕

Trevor photographed both our engagement and wedding, and he was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Starting with the engagement - my husband secretly reached out to Trevor once I mentioned I'd...
like Trevor to capture our wedding day. I had researched a number of photographers, and ultimately went with Seeking Films since I loved the style and tone of their work. Trevor was kind enough to coordinate with my husband in the surprise engagement shoot, texting throughout the day, and being flexible with the timing. He shot every moment beautifully, from the moments leading up to the proposal, to family members coming out of hiding, and everyone's excitement during/after the proposal. We took couple-photos as well, and although my husband and I are no models, Trevor's super chill and funny, and made us feel comfortable the entire time. We thought we'd receive the footage weeks after the engagement, but Trevor sent them over within a few days!
Once the wedding day came by, Trevor arrived early to the venue, and was a true professional and so helpful from beginning to end. Through the wedding chaos, he calmly directed everyone, and had amazing attention to detail, knowing everything from where each person should stand, to which side the wedding dress train should be on. After the ceremony, I was already so impressed and grateful for Trevor's work, but he further surpassed all my expectations when he recommended a nearby spot for a spontaneous sunset shoot! He generously took the time to photograph from a variety of settings, and we couldn't be happier with the photos! He truly has an amazing eye and gift for photography. We can't thank Trevor enough for his work, and would recommend him/Seeking Films to anyone looking to capture their special moments!

I first found the company Seeking Films from The Knot website when looking for a photographer. Not only was their prices reasonable, but their style, quality of work, and attention...
to details was spot on.
When I found out they were available on my wedding date, I had no choice but to book them right away for our endgame to shoot and wedding day. Trevor, our photographer was so easy to work with. He was responsive and accommodating towards any suggestions I may have.
During our engagement photo shoot, Trevor and his wife Yuyu made it so comfortable for me and my now-husband that when trying to pose for shot, Trevor would make funny comments in order for us to relax. All I can say is..it made our pictures look BEAUTIFUL!
As our wedding day approached, Covid hit and things got overwhelming. Trevor was so great to check on us and how we were doing and made rescheduling easy.
As places started to open up, my now-husband and I decided to go through with the marriage. Trevor was very flexible with the changes and on board through it all. We received our photos within weeks and we have gotten so many compliments on them!! So happy to have found Seeking Films!

Trevor is a phenomenal photographer. He is kind, patient, punctual, and highly adaptable. He shot my wedding and we have also collaborated on bridal and other fashion photoshoots....
His photos are excellent and he is intuitive. He knows when to capture the right moment at the right time. I would recommend Trevor to anyone seeking to hire a photographer, whether it is for wedding, bridal, engagement, fashion, editorial, you name it! Trevor is amazing and I am always happy with his work.

We had a wonderful time with Trevor, Jack, and Rena. They were extremely helpful from beginning to end and made our wedding that much more enjoyable. My husband and I were complete...
ly clueless about what packages we should get, if we should get photo and/or video, how we should set up the timing of the photos, etc., and Jack helped us arrange every detail! We had our wedding on Big Island which added another layer of complexity but working with Seeking Films relieved so much of our concerns. Trevor was super funny and helped us get comfortable in front of the camera- we are both painfully awkward but we were able to have fun! We could not have appreciated them more. The final photos also came out absolutely beautifully and Trevor captured so many different aspects that we felt we could relive the day. We haven't reviewed our videos yet but are sure that they'll be just as amazing! We have only glowing, positive things to say about Seeking Films and will definitely recommend them to anybody needing photo/video services.

al photos we received! Trevor was super accommodating when rain interrupted our initial shoot day and let us reschedule. During the shoot he provided excellent guidance to get us to laugh and look natural in front of the camera. He has an excellent eye for lighting and utilizing our beautiful surroundings. We love the relaxed candid vibe of our photos and can’t wait to work with him again for our wedding!

ugh their portfolio. They were very easy to talk to and their pricing is reasonable. We decided to have them take our engagement photos and they were very patient during the photo shoot and even showed us around. The pictures turned out fabulously - we got so many compliments from our family and friends so it was a very easy decision to go with them for our big day. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve made - we LOVED the pictures and looking through them brought so much great memories and joy to us. You’ll be in great hands if you go with Seeking Films!

Seeking Films is the best!! We are so, so glad we hired them for our wedding photography and videography. We searched through countless photographer and videographer websites as we...
were planning our wedding, and we were extremely impressed by the quality of videos and photos we saw on their website. We scheduled a video call with Jack and Trevor (since we live in California) to get to know them a little bit before booking their services. They were both so warm, friendly, and funny on the video call and we instantly knew that we wanted to work with them! We were so excited and looking forward to having their good energy at our wedding.
On our wedding day, they were just the same as on our video call. They are such a pleasure to work with! So professional and friendly! They worked hard all day and night long to capture all of our special moments. Trevor and Yuyu are such a sweet photography couple and made my now-husband and me laugh so much the entire day! I had a dress malfunction at one point where one of my off-the-shoulder sleeve attachments popped off (it was attached through a bit of a complicated button arrangement), and Yuyu was so sweet and helped me fix it. They also gave us awesome wedding advice since they are a married couple themselves! They really made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. We just got our photos back and we are so thrilled with how they turned out!! I seriously can't stop looking at them. They are so, so beautiful and they took us right back to that wonderful day and they perfectly captured our happiness! We will cherish these gorgeous photos for the rest of our lives. Jack and his assistant were also so pleasant and awesome and worked their magic the entire time! They found the best spots with the best lighting and scenery to film, and I am so excited for when our video will be ready. I will be sure to update my review when it comes out. I have no doubt it will be amazing, just like all of these other happy couple reviewers have raved about! We can't recommend their services enough - thank you so much, Seeking Films!! :)

nsistently offered sound advice in planning for our engagement session and for the wedding day. The engagement photographs were breathtaking and reminded us more of works of arts than your everyday couples' photos. Everyone loves our photos and comments on the photographer's skill. On the day of the wedding, they seamlessly captured every moment and guided us completely. Trevor and Yuyu made us feel comfortable at all times. Our wedding photographs came quickly and it was simply more stunning than what we remembered in real life. If you're looking for artists to capture your special day or event, Seeking Films is the way to go and you'll have memories that are also works of art.

My husband and I cannot recommend Trevor enough. He was highly recommended to us by a videographer friend and I am so happy we were able to work together. Everyone has gushed about...
our photos and we had a really great time working with him. I was not a "Pinterest bride" at all so beyond family shots, we really didn't have a whole lot of ideas about particular photos. Trevor was totally able to roll with the punches and captured our day perfectly. I felt very comfortable that he was a serious professional and he really took care of us. Trevor was awesome and you will not be disappointed by choosing Seeking Films.

After searching high and low for a skillful and personable photographer, we found Seeking Films. I immediately set up a meeting with Trevor and instantly knew that I found my weddi...
ng photographer. Not only was he easy going and workable, but he knew exactly what he was talking about. He shared our excitement and happiness during our wedding week and really showed up. I mean really showed up. He even stayed later than our scheduled coverage time because events were still happening. He didn't get in the way of any of our guests, but he was always there, capturing every single special moment of the evening. I never once questioned if we were in good hands, and didn't have to stress about photography on the day of the wedding.
When we got our photos back the next month, we were in awe! Trevor is one of the most skilled photographers I know, capturing different angles, and adjusting to tough lighting situations. I am so grateful that we chose Seeking Films to shoot our wedding and will be sure to hire them again whenever we return to Hawaii.

TREVOR IS AMAZING!!!!
We are so happy that we chose Seeking Films to be our wedding photographer. They did an amazing job with not only our wedding photos but our engagement shoot...
as well. We worked specifically with Trevor throughout the whole process and he was everything you could hope for in a wedding vendor and so much more! Trevor not only is professional, very responsive, talented, but an all-around awesome guy! You feel like you are working with your friend that gets you and knows what kind of pictures you want! He definitely delivers and is worth every single penny! We were very happy with the quality, creativity and the timeliness we received our photos. You won’t be disappointed. Seeking Films is hands down terrific in every way!! So what are you waiting for?! Book them, because you would be crazy not to! :D

ed the fact that seeking films cares about people and not just the job itself. We loved the fact that Trevor our lead photographer was great at handling old family members and kids when taking photos. Always positive and respectful even though it was chaotic and busy. Seeking films is not only good at taking photos but building a trusting relationship to share such an intimate moment in our lives. That being said we were amazed at the photos we got that day! We really loved the fact that the photographers took lots of candidate shots of us and family. I am a fan of in the moment pictures and they did a great job of that! The photos came timely and promptly. Any questions I had was immediately answered pre and post wedding. Communication was very good. I would recommend seeking films for your wedding! They are professionals and have much experience!

What an amazing experience shooting with Seeking Films ! We booked Seeking Films for our wedding and got a free engagement shoot with it. How awesome is that ! Just thinking of an ...
engagement shoot was stressful but Trevor and his wife Yuyu made it so easy to contact and work with that it was a breeze. I showed Trevor the type of photos we wanted to do and right away he knew of different locations that would be perfect for our shoot. He even went to scout the location beforehand to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. The day of our shoot we started in a studio because I wanted up close photos of me and my fiancé. I had a Pinterest board of inspiration poses we wanted to do. Trevor and his wife made sure we got every single pose I had on my Pinterest board. They made us feel so comfortable to be in front of the camera. They made us laugh and smile the entire shoot. Trevor even got my fiancé who is super shy to loosen up and smile for the camera. Which is rare for my fiancé. It didn't even feel like we were doing a photoshoot. It was the easiest and most fun shoots we ever done. After the studio we moved to an outdoor location which was so beautiful. It was exactly what we wanted. Our shoot was on Saturday and by Thursday we received a full gallery of all our photos. He said it would take more than a week but we got it right away. Which I love ! When we got the photos I cried !!! It was the most beautiful photos Ive ever seen of me and my fiancé. These photos will last a lifetime and Trevor did such a great job capturing us. The photos were clear and in high resolution. Even single photo captured us and who we are as a couple. We are so excited for Trevor and Yuyu to shoot our wedding.

Trevor and Yuyu are amazing!! From the first time I contacted Trevor I had excellent response rate and professional service throughout initial booking, engagement session, and day...
of services. They not only took artistic and timeless photos (might I dare say museum worthy?!?), but they were able to capture our personalities/style and all of the candid moments that made our wedding day special.
As an added note, I don't consider myself a photogenic person or someone who is used to be in the spotlight (aka I have horrible posture and rbf) but they made me feel comfortable and at ease even when I had pre-ceremony jitters. And did I mention that I looked like a model in every shot? Now that's talent!

ell in love. From the beginning, Jack was really responsive and worked with us to create a package that fit our budget. On the day of the wedding, he and his team were super professional and under the radar; we barely noticed they were there!
We received our film a few months after the wedding, and we were blown away by how beautiful it was. It captured the spirit of the day, and we appreciated that Jack listened to our preference for incorporating vows and speeches into the audio. Even though the initial edit was amazing, we wanted to include a few shots of specific guests (mostly family members), and Jack worked with us to add them in, even though we felt like we were asking a lot. We're so happy with the final cut, and we definitely recommend working with Seeking Films if you have the opportunity!

iled Jack about pricing and availability and he contacted me right away. We ordered the Same Day Edit videography/8 hour photography coverage. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, he was very understanding and flexible for what we wanted to have captured in our wedding. We met Jack and Lina for our concept engagement shoot at Lulumahu Falls Trail. They made us feel very comfortable and despite it being a very windy day, they managed to capture some amazing moments. On the day of, the Seeking Films team arrived on time and ready to go. They were very accommodating and even asked if we wanted any special shots. Trevor was great with taking photos with the kids! During the reception, they showed our Same Day Edit coverage which was PERFECT. A few days following the wedding, they provided our Same Day Edit online (with a few more edits) which turned out EVEN MORE PERFECT. They also provided a sample album of the photos they took which were BREATHTAKING. They captured all of our favorite moments and made it into art. I can’t wait to see more of the amazing work that they do! I HIGHLY recommend Seeking Films to all of my family and friends!

m CA and we were very lucky to have happen to fall upon Seeking Films on Instagram. We fell in love with their style, both photos and film. And for the price, it can't be beat! During the wedding, honestly we only remember seeing Jack once during the whole day-which is a great thing because it should be au natural knowing the video is something you'll watch forever. Travis lead the photography part of our day, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera (definitely something we were not used to). We were so happy with the end product, which exceeded our expectations. Also, our photo and video were delivered to us within two months! I'm happy to say, I can still watch our wedding video and cry- every time. Thank you Jack and team for not only making our day run so smoothly, but also for making us look so good! -Stephanie and Jon

Jack and his Seeking Films crew were phenomenal to work with. It wasn't hard to choose someone to tell our story after watching all their videos on Vimeo and being so deeply moved....
The feeling of watching your own video created by Seeking Films is beyond words. The day of the wedding, they were very punctual, needed no assistance, and were always right in the action. Our family made several comments on how nice and respectful the crew was throughout the day - we highly recommend!
Thank you for telling our story!
