______________
Aloha I’m Jordan. Born and raised here on Maui, I grew up with a passion for art, videography and action sports. My first love, in-line skating, took me around the world, where I had the privilege to compete in the X-Games and all the other major contests. During this time I would produce videos for sponsors and sports segments for TV. As my pro career slowed down my videography career took off. From my first wedding in 2005 to now being Hawaii’s most awarded wedding film studio, it’s been an amazing journey and I’m so grateful for all the success Hi Focused has had. Making wedding films isn’t just a profession for me; it’s an art that I care passionately about.

We are so incredibly happy that we chose Hi Focused for our wedding day! Our wedding films have been the best investment that we made for our wedding! The product and quality of the films that Jordan has produced for us are incredible.
From the beginning, Jordan has been very kind and considerate of our wants and needs out of what we wanted filmed. Along with his 2nd shooter Amber, they were both so fun to work with for the entire day of our wedding! They made us feel so comfortable and made filming so easy and enjoyable.
Jordan’s final product of our film and documentary seriously took our breath away. We are so in awe of the level of high quality footage and attention to detail that Jordan put into our film. He was able to capture the essence of all of the emotions from our wedding day and really let us relive our day like it was a fairytale story. This is how we wanted our film to look and feel like and you can truly see that not only from our film, but all the other films we watched when choosing our videographer. We were so lucky and blessed that we chose the amazing work of Hi Focused to capture our memorable day!

What a touching review! Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write such rave things about your experience with us and your film! I especially like the part about "Our wedding films have been the best investment that we made for our...
wedding!" This beautiful review made my day! It was a pleasure to capture and thank you again for honoring us with such kind words! Mahalo to you both!
Jordan and his crew are so talented, fun & easy to work with. They listened to exactly what we wanted, and boy did they deliver. It took our breath away. We were married 10.28.2023 & I still watch our video regularly. They far exceeded our expectations. We are so glad we were able to book with Hi Focused. Jordan's artistic talents are amazing. We also purchased the raw footage, and how quickly he was able to create our beautiful moments and put together the perfect film for us. We are forever grateful and blessed to work with him.

Thank you so so much that’s amazing! I really appreciate you taking the time to do that! Thank you again for the kind words!!!
Jordan and his team are absolutely top-tier videographers. They were fun to work with, relaxed on the day, incredibly professional – and the polished videos arrived so quickly after the wedding, too! They were all-around great to work with. Thank you, Jordan and everyone at Hi Focused!

Jordan and his team at HiFocused has truly exceeded our expectations with a wedding video that captures the essence of our special day with sheer brilliance.

Jordan's professionalism and artistic vision have resulted in a masterpiece that tells our story in the most beautiful way possible. We are immensely grateful for his talent and dedication in creating a wedding video that we, along with our families and friends, will always look back on with fond memories.

Jordan and his team were so nice and kind, and on the day of our wedding, they were so easy to work with! They knew exactly what angles to shoot and were so good at directing us! We definitely recommend HI FOCUSED cinematography for your videography needs!
Response from the Vendor on 03/19/2024
Thank you for the glowing review! I truly appreciate it!
It was a pleasure to capture your beautiful day at Olowalu!
Mahalo again and congratulations!
Our early wedding plans did not include a videographer, but looking back on our day we could not be happier that we decided on Hi Focused! Jordan was so easy to work with, flexible in adding additional time to our day, and helpful in giving us a realistic view into what the ideal wedding day film schedule should look like. We are not naturals in front of the camera, so his direction and great vibe helped us relax and enjoy capturing footage. He not only captured all of the "big" moments, but also shot our entire ceremony for those who couldn't be there. He was nearly invisible, but also ever present, capturing the best content. We owe some of our best memories to Jordan and highly recommend him for your wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 03/19/2024
Thank you so much!!! I’m so flattered with this really kind review!
It’s amazing clients like the both of you that make the craft so enjoyable.
Thank you again for writing such kind words it made my day!
All the best in your future together! ...
Congratulations again!
“A picture is worth a thousand words”
Late last year, I found Jordan by chance on Instagram. I was looking for excursions and different places to visit during our family trip to Maui for the first time ever. A surprise I had beyond the family trip was to create the most beautiful engagement proposal I could possible think of. When I found Jordan’s Instagram page and website, I knew instantly he would be the one to capture all of my ideas and most importantly the love I have for Ali. As our trip began to approach, Jordan walked me through every step of the proposal process from A-Z! He was available every time I had questions.
Proposal day: Jordan worked hand in hand with my mother who helped keep this entire day a secret. Jordan met me out front of the lobby to get mic’d up and assured me to have fun, breathe, and let him capture it all. Jordan’s professional and ability to connect with me was everything I could ask for and more. When Ali and I received our official video and photographs, we were driving on the road to Hana. Out of excitement we pulled over and couldn’t believe this video was of the two of us. It was our love story captured by Jordan and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to tell our story than him! Thank you Jordan for your time, professionalism, and support!!
If you’re looking for a photographer/videographer in Maui, Jordan is your guy. You will be speechless when you see what he can do with a camera!
Mahalo 🤙🏻

Thank you Ryan for the amazing review! Wow that is so nice of you to write all of that! I'm so flattered. I really love what you wrote about how I made you feel at ease and how happy you were with the final film / photos. Congratulations to ...
you both on your perfect proposal! Take care and all the best!
Jordan and his team did a tremendous job capturing all the highlights of our big day. He was responsive and easy to work with. After he sent the initial video, we asked if there was any way he could add one particular shot. He gladly made the small change for no charge. The edited final product was absolutely stunning and EXACTLY what we wanted. You could tell he wanted us to be 100% satisfied with the final product. Would HIGHLY recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 03/06/2024
That’s amazing! I appreciate what you wrote! Especially about how I wanted to make sure the film was exactly what you wanted :)
That’s definitely how I feel! Thank you again for the kind words and writing this! All the best to you both and co...
ngratulations again!
For a bride who is a professional photographer and a groom who is a documentary producer/editor, we wanted a top-notch director of photography/cinematographer to film our wedding day. And Jordan is exactly that.
We were thrilled to have HI Focused whose professionalism, attention to detail and fun personalities made the planning days easy and our special day even more fun.
The visuals that Jordan created are worth every penny. The drone work was efficient and stunning.
We now have these lasting, 4K video memories that we will be able to replay for years to come.
Jordan's shooting style is cinematic, intimate and personal – a true fly on the wall – allowing you to enjoy the time as newlyweds while not even realizing someone is making an award-winning quality film about your wedding.
Also, the sound quality! People often overlook sound when watching these visuals on Instagram -- but pay close attention. The ceremony, the speeches, the natural sounds throughout the day were crisp and clear.
We highly recommend working with HI Focused to film your wedding, proposal, and/or any special occasion. It will be done with care and high-quality professionalism.
Response from the Vendor on 03/06/2024
Thank you Maya and Ronnie for the STELLAR review! It means so much especially coming from the both of you in your professions as a photographer and producer! I loved what you wrote about us being easy to work with and "fly on the wall but al...
so filming an award winning quality film!" Also what you wrote about the audio, I feel the same way, it's very important! Thank you again for taking the time to write all of that and also for trusting us to capture your big day! It's an honor! Mahalo!
If you are looking for an extremely professional video (movie quality) of your wedding day that will make you think you are watching a romantic movie when you see yourselves, look no further.
My dream was to have a wedding video that captured our love and special day so perfectly, that truly evoked emotions each time I re-watched the video.
You will not regret choosing Jordan and his team for your special day, his pricing is definitely not low, however I learned you do get what you pay for. Since this is a once in a lifetime day and memory, trust me it's worth it.
Attached a screenshot from our dreamy beautiful video.

ding elopement!!!
Jordan was the videographer for our daughter's Kauai wedding, and he is phenomenal. From our first meeting, he was the ultimate professional, asking very specific questions to ensure that he captured every shot we wanted. During the ceremony and reception, he was reassuring and unobtrusive, working seamlessly with our photographer. The end result? His drone footage is spectacular, and the videos, delivered in record time, are amazing! We wanted a short, 7 minute, and long version, and they were all so close to perfect, including the music, that we only asked for one tiny change. That never happens! Jordan is a great storyteller, and captured the emotion, the joy, and the beauty of every moment. I didn't cry at the wedding, but I cried when watching the videos. In my marketing job, I've worked with many fabulous LA and NYC videographers, but Jordan is simply the best!
Response from the Vendor on 01/19/2024

Jordan was our videographer for our wedding on October 5th. Everything was all that we wished for. He was so professional and knew exactly what to do and how to pose us. We would HIGHLY recommend this company for any event! We got the video so fast and it was more than what we expected. Just amazing!! Thank you so much for making our day even better & we now have an amazing video as a keepsake reminder of our wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 10/28/2023
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write such a great review! It means so much! It was awesome to capture your beautiful wedding at the Tropical Plantation. All the best and congratulations!
HI Focused did such an incredible job with our wedding. Jordan and his team showed up with their A game. They were punctual and professional. You could tell they knew what they were doing with meticulous attention to detail and vision. It’s true art the way he blended clips together. All of my friends and family were blown away by the videos. I don’t think anyone could’ve done better. Thank you so much for beautifully capturing our special day. 100% recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/19/2023
What a pleasant surprise!!! Thank you so much for the glowing review!

We are SO happy we chose HiFocus to film our special day! Jordan and his team are TOP TIER!!! They have the skills, creativity, attention to detail, and proficiency like no other. They have the best work I’ve ever seen! Jordan and his team went above and beyond for our wedding. Thank you so much Jordan for capturing these beautiful memories to treasure forever. I recommend 100/100
Response from the Vendor on 10/02/2023
Thank you so so much for the glowing review wow!
I especially love what you wrote about us being the best work you have ever seen! Thank you for writing all of that!!!
Jordan knows what he’s doing and it shows. He was proactive from the start asking all the right questions to set everything up smoothly. He was lightning fast with responses and communication. Amber, his teammate was excellent as well; the pair gave clear cues and instructions for my awkward husband and I in front of the camera. They made it fun and were easy to work with. By the end of our day we felt like we made two new friends. Fast forward to a week later and we were blown away by our final video. It brought my hubby to (happy) tears. I don’t know how Jordan fit 8 hours of footage into a 6 minute video without missing a thing but that’s what sets him apart. It was some of the best $ we’ve spent on our wedding. If you’re on the fence, just go for it with HiFocused.
Response from the Vendor on 09/20/2023
Thank you so so much for the glowing review! You wrote so many kind words and I especially liked what you wrote about us being new friends :-) I feel the same way! Thanks again for having us and being such awesome clients and now friends :-)
Hi Focused films are stunning. There is just no comparison. Take a look at Jordan’s previous work because that is all it took to convince us to choose Hi Focused for our wedding day.
Jordan is extremely professional and captured the day perfectly. He proactively worked with us to find out what was important to us and what we wished to capture. We wanted him to capture the beauty of the historic Olowalu Plantation House and the more genuine moments during our wedding day. The result was perfection. He even got us our wedding video in (what has to be) record time - less than a week!
We are so glad to have hired Jordan as our videographer for our wedding. We went with the signature package and purchased the raw footage too. We can’t stop watching the wedding film on repeat. To be able to re-live such a special day captured by Hi Focused is a must have for all wedding couples!
Response from the Vendor on 09/03/2023
Amazing review thank you for writing such kind words! I love how you wrote the result was “perfection"!

e best and take care!
I could not have asked for a better team of videographers than Jordan and his team. They were truly amazing to work with. Jordan was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. His team who I worked with on my wedding was phenomenal. They were not only super professional but they were fun! They took any stress and hassle away and handled everything. I honestly could not have asked for a better team. Lastly, the turn around time from the wedding to video was faster than I expected and it was absolutely perfect. I think I’ve watched it over a dozen times already ha. But seriously, they were amazing and I would recommend to anyone! Especially to brides who are planning a destination wedding and may be hesitant to booking a vendor they don’t know.
Response from the Vendor on 06/24/2023
Wow thank you for the heartfelt and glowing review of myself and the team! That was above and beyond! I really appreciate the kind words and you taking the time to write all of that! It was our pleasure to capture and produce your amazing day!
I had no idea how I was going to pull off a surprise engagement proposal in Maui all while having it captured on video as a keepsake. Jordan went above and beyond to help me decide the best location, how best to keep it as a surprise for my fiancé and to my amazement he turned the fully edited video around in lighting fast speed. I would definitely recommend Jordan and his company, they are extremely professional, easy to work with and they 110% deliver as planned.
Response from the Vendor on 06/19/2023
A big mahalo for writing about such a positive experience working with me! I agree your surprise proposal went perfectly! Great planning and team work! Thank you again for writing this review! Take care and congratulations!
Jordan and his team were wonderful from start to finish. All of his work was thoughtful, professional and well executed. As a Engineer that works with videography and 3-D graphics I know how much effort it takes to match the audio with video as seamlessly as he did. I highly recommend Hi Focused Cinematography for all your video needs, they will not disappoint.
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2023

Thank you so much for the review and kind words! Mahalo!
HI Focused filmed our Feb 2023 wedding at the beautiful Olowalu Plantation House on Maui. My wife and I were blown away at how the wedding video captured the magic and beauty of our special day. We've shared it with many family and friends, and the sentiment was the same. Just "Wow!" This was not your typical wedding video, and Jordan was able to tell the story of the day through his creative eyes. To top it off, we received the video 6 days after the wedding while we were still on our honeymoon and cried when watching it. We couldn't be happier for choosing to do a wedding video, and the final product blew away our expectations. Hands down the best wedding video we've ever seen!
Response from the Vendor on 05/15/2023

Jordan and his team did a great job capturing our wedding. The video looked like it was a movie. His staff was very helpful and fun to be around. The drone footage was unreal. Very happy we worked with him! Thank you again for capturing the most incredible day.
Response from the Vendor on 01/19/2023
Thank you so much for having us capture your day! It was our pleasure!!!
And yes the drone shots were awesome :D
If you are looking for TREMENDOUS TALENT + FANTASTIC ARTISITIC VISION then Jordan and his team are a JOY to work with. They work in concert with photographers in such a seamless way. They made us and our wedding party look phenomenal. They gave an exceptional mix of candid and picturesque shots alongside the "feel" of our wedding. There are not enough words that I can string together that would truly convey how thankful I am for their work, effort, and expertise. Turn around time was fast! I bought a 8 minute highlight video and a 1 minute IG preview. Literally had them in less than a week. We loved the music, the way he told our story through his film, and how he integrated music and actual audio from our special day. HIM & HIS TEAM ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY. The quality is undeniable. MANY THANKS!!

Working with Jordan and his team was amazing! They were super helpful keeping the day moving and got tons of coverage of the entire wedding. Jordan was very easy to communicate with had all the right equipment, from high end cameras to drones. Both the 6 min video and 40 min doc came out great. The quality of the video is excellent and everyone that watches it is always super impressed. We are so happy that we had Hi Focused capture our day. Now we can look back and remember our wedding whenever we want and the footage is absolutely breathtaking!

e your stunning day! Congratulations and all the best!
It was fantastic working with Jordan. We found Jordan after watching hours of different cinematographers but his films had so much soul and life in them, it was an easy decision to make.
Jordan was friendly, approachable and very easy to reach. He listened to what we wanted, but at the same time maintained professional control over the final product. He was able to implement our vision and more. We are so in love with our wedding film and have received so many compliments from people we’ve shared it with!
We wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to help immortalize our special day.

We highly recommend HiFocused!! :) Jordan and his team filmed our wedding in February and we are so grateful for them and their hard work! We watch our wedding film all the time and cannot believe they were able to capture some of our most intimate moments. We met with Jordan prior to our wedding and he took the time to listen to what we wanted to showcase in our film and what our vision was. We are so happy that we HiFocused was there to share our special day with us. You will not be disappointed! If you are still trying to decide on a wedding videographer, choose HiFocused!

Awwww thank you for the heartfelt review! It was a joy to capture Matthew and your wedding day! I also appreciate all he has contributed to working with HI FOCUSED over the years. All the best and thank you for writing this review!
I have to start by saying Jordan and his team were amazing! We initially were nervous because of the whole destination wedding thing, but Jordan made the whole process very easy all the way through the big day.
When we finally met Jordan the day of the event, he and his team made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. That whole day flew by and Jordan his team made it very special. I
To this day, our video still brings a tear to our eyes! Everyone who sees it always asks about how much we spent for the video because it is amazing!! Again, we can't thank Jordan enough for the amazing job and we are grateful that he and his crew were a part of our big day!
If you have the opportunity, we would highly recommend Hi-Focused for your wedding day. Thank again Jordan, we will never for get you and you team!!! :)
Response from the Vendor on 09/22/2022
Thank you so so much for the review! That means a lot! So awesome that the film still moves you so much! All the best to both of you! Congratulations again!
WOW. Stop right now, and hire Jordan! He knocked it out of the park! My husband and I got married on Kauai, and we told Jordan our vision and he listened to us and made our vision come to life better than we ever imagined. He was super easy to work with. He made sure he had all the details for our special day, listened to what we wanted, and was very quick to respond to our calls and emails. My husband and I are both in the wedding industry, I'm a photographer and he is a DJ. So our expectations were extremely high. Jordan exceeded those expectations. We showed our family our video and they were in tears (as were we) watching it. We are BLOWN AWAY by the beautiful film he did. It's defiantly on repeat ;) Thank you, Jordan for capturing our special day so we can relive it forever.
Response from the Vendor on 08/23/2022
Wow thank you for the great review that really means a ton especially coming from the both of you! :)
I’m super happy with how it all came out too! Thank you for choosing me to capture your EPIC adventure wedding day!

Response from the Vendor on 08/16/2022
Thank you so much for the 5 Star Review! Filming your daughter's wedding was so much fun! What a perfect day you planned!
Hiring Jordan’s company to capture our special day was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding. When browsing the websites I knew they were perfect as I was watching videos of complete strangers and crying! From the moment I spoke to Jordan on the phone I noted his passion and dedication to capturing our memories.
He was professional and excellent with communication leading up to and on the day of our wedding. Jordan was very pleasant and easy to work with.
Our wedding film was sent to us much quicker than we expected and we were blown away! It came in an adorable wood keepsake box as well. It was incredible to view our special day from another perspective. We both cried again (so did everyone else we sent it too). We love having this video that so perfectly captured the love, spirit and beauty of our wedding on Maui.
Response from the Vendor on 07/22/2022
Thank you for the awesome words! Wow I'm so flattered that working with us was such an amazing and positive experience! You two were awesome as well. Filming your wedding day was so much fun! Thank you for having us!
We planned our dream wedding in Maui. After enduring two and a half years of COVID, we wanted our families and friends to experience something that allowed them to feel normal again. It was so important to capture this experience, so we asked our wedding coordinator to recommend a list of videographers. We had several choices, but there was really only one that stood out, Jordan and his team at High Focused.
Jordan has a vision. He has a great team and years of experience. There were no surprises and the entire process was seamless. He is an excellent communicator, and has an artistic style and personality that make you feel that his job is one less thing that you need to be concerned about. He worked very well with our wedding coordinator and our photographer. He also has great skills in drone videographer and captured some wonderful sweeping shots of the beautiful venues in Maui. He is not cheap, but the cost was more than worth it. There is nothing more important than having a movie-quality recording of the most important day in your lives. His turn-around-time for production of the final cut was very good. Everyone that saw our wedding video loved it and we were showered with compliments. We will never stop watching it and we are so thankful that we chose High-Focus. You can not go wrong with Jordan. We highly recommend him and his team.. Thank you Jordan for capturing the most important event of our lives.
Mahalo:)

gratulations!
As soon as I saw Jordan's work I knew I had to hire him for our wedding. It's well worth the money and Jordan and his team are really nice and professional. They did their absolute best to get the best footage. They worked well with my photographer and our wedding video turned out better than I ever dreamed. I'd recommend HiFocused to anyone planning their wedding. You won't regret it.
Response from the Vendor on 07/14/2022
A big mahalo! Thank you for posting this review! I really appreciate it!
Your wedding day was so amazing! I especially love the drone shot of you both on the cliff!
Our wedding video turned out better than we ever imagined - all thanks to Jordan and his team at Hi Focused!
When initially planning our wedding, my wife and I were on the fence about hiring a videographer because we were unsure whether we really needed a wedding video. We had hired an amazing photographer and thought that this might suffice. After chatting with Jordan on the phone, we decided that a wedding video would be really special. And choosing to work with Hi Focused was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
We are convinced that Jordan is an exceptionally talented videographer who just happens to be incredibly professional and kind. Our wedding video turned out beautifully thanks to Jordan's amazing artistry and skills - the sound quality, drone footage, and high definition video quality were all top-notch and quite frankly, spectacular! Jordan and his colleague, Amber, were so fun to work with and they provided great tips on how to best pose for the camera. They were also very familiar with our venue (Merriman's Kapalua) and knew all the prettiest locations and best times to film at. We highly recommended choosing Hi Focused to be your videographer team on your special day!

If I can give Jordan 10 stars I would! His talent is off the charts. Jordan guided my wife and I throughout the entire process. We both felt comfortable with him and his team. The end result was amazing, our wedding footage looked like a high end movie production. Well worth the spend, he captured a moment of a lifetime. Cheers, thanks for everything Jordan! 🤙🏼

Wow I love that "If I could give him 10 stars I would!" A big mahalo for writing this review thank you again!!!
My husband and I have wanted to work with Jordan Nagasako of HI Focused since we started planning our dream Maui wedding last year. Jordan is an incredibly talented cinematographer and storyteller. He captured every perfect moment of our dream wedding, exceeding our expectations for our wedding video. Jordan was easy to communicate and work with, and he delivered our full wedding video, raw video footage, and previews in less than two weeks. Jordan also provided short video snippets for me to use across my personal branded social media channels. As a content creator, I appreciated his thoughtfulness in providing me with different types of content for my personal branded social media channels.
We hope to work with Jordan again for our 5th or 10th year wedding anniversary celebration. We highly recommend working with Jordan Nagasako of Hi Focused if you're looking for a cinematographer to capture your special day.

Wow thank you thank you thank you for writing this glowing review of us! It was my pleasure to capture your day! You two were so awesome to work with and yes I'd love to capture your anniversary! Thank you again!
Cannot say enough exceptional things about Jordan and his team. Just amazing on every level. We chose Hi-Focused because of Jordan's eye for great shots and his final video did not disappoint, capturing every moment we knew and didn't even know would happen. This is the difference between a videographer and a true artist, and he captured the spirit and love of our day so perfectly. His turnaround time was very quick and the end product is something I would never have dreamed I would be a part of and Jordan captured every moment of that. Thank you so much for taking part in our day and it was a pleasure having you be a part of our wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 05/05/2022
Wow thank you for the kind words! It's very appreciated!
It was amazing capture your two wedding day celebration! Congratulations and all the best!
We selected HI FOCUSED for our destination wedding on Maui and we are so pleased with the work Jordan and his team provided throughout the process, from planning, the wedding, and afterwards! We received a questionnaire to provide an overview of our day and a follow up call to review and provide additional specific details we wanted to make sure were filmed. HI FOCUSED captured everything and more! It was a pleasure to work with them, their attention to detail and various shots and techniques, and editing made our video so so special! We will be showing this at our local reception back home and look forward to sharing it with our family and friends. Thank you HI FOCUSED!

Thank you for having us film your incredible day at Olowalu! I really appreciate you taking the time to write such great things about your entire experience with us! It was our pleasure!
We had the most perfect day on our wedding day thanks to Jordan and the team at HI FOCUSED Cinematography! I felt truly listened to through out all of our communication with Jordan before, during and after the wedding. On the day of our wedding I was able to enjoy every moment and I never felt rushed or uncomfortable. Jordan and his team were able to capture so many amazing moments and the result is a true masterpiece! Jordan is very professional, but also patient and kind and his energy put me at ease through out the while process. We love to rewatch our wedding video and share it with friends and family who could not be there with us. It felt like a movie and we are so lucky to have the video to look back on our special day. So happy and thankful for Jordan and the team and could not have had a more perfect wedding day!
Response from the Vendor on 03/09/2022
Thank you for the great review! I really appreciate you taking the time to write about your 5-star experience working with us! I especially liked the part about how my energy put you at ease :) Thanks again and congratulations!
Jordan at HI Focused was nothing short of amazing. He showed up with a great attitude and paid attention to detail. He had all the necessary equipment to get the best shots and angels. He captured every moment we wanted to have filmed. He exceeded my expectations with the final video. What was most impressive was how quick he edited and produced the film. He had it sent to me before I had even left the island to return home (within a week) He also allowed me to request changes to the video and was very quick and prompt in responding to me. He went above and beyond my husband and I in providing us our vows for my grandma to see since she couldn't make the wedding due to covid. Jordan thank you for going above and beyond for me and my husband. I have watched the video 3 thousand times and I love it very much!!! If we ever have anything we need to be filmed in the future, he would be worth the money to fly out to California. best on the island, we love him!!!!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2022
Thank you for the rave review wow! Especially what you wrote about flying me out to California and the best on the island! You are too kind! Thank you for being such an awesome couple to work with! Wow!
Hello Jordan,
We wanted to take this time to truly thank you for being a part of making our proposal so memorable and epic! Even if we had imagined the perfect proposal it would not have come close. Thank you so much for all of your hard work that you put into the planning, the cinematography, and photography . We have now watched it more than 100 times, each time with tears of joy in our eyes. Our family and close friends were mesmerized by all of your hard work — “this is amazing”; “this video is like Kobe level greatness “; “I feel like I’m watching an episode of the OC”— that’s just a few of the MANY compliments we have been receiving from loved ones. Some folks were even brought to tears! It meant so much to us that you finished it so quickly. Your patience, communication, coordination, level of craftsmanship, and grace was invaluable. Nothing short of remarkable. Thank you again for being a part of the beginning of our life together. You will always be in our hearts and our story.
Kind regards,
Jason and Rediat

cially like the "Kobe level greatness" WOW! Thank you again! :D
Jordan was a pleasure to work with, and the final product is amazing. The attention to detail, and customer service were exceptional. It's been over a year and we still watch the video all the time. All our family remarked on how high quality the video was. My cousin showed it to a group of friends, and they thought it was a reality TV show about weddings in Hawaii. Jordan and his crew went above and beyond to capture our special moment. Highly recommend !
Response from the Vendor on 01/20/2022
Wow a TV show that's awesome! You both were rockstars and it was my pleasure capturing your EPIC and perfect day! Thank you for the glowing review! Congratulations my friends!
Jordan & Team were great to work with. Jordan captured ALL the details that were important to me and my husband and we absolutely loved the final video. We couldn't stop watching it after. He has an eye for what matters and was so professional during the day of. We loved every part of it. Thank you Jordan for capturing our special day!
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2022
Thank you for writing this heartfelt review!! We really do our best to capture EVERYTHING that is important to you. I appreciate you taking the time to write that! Thanks again for having us! Mahalo!
Jordan was amazing to work with. A true professional & just an insanely talented videographer. His drone footage is second to none. We couldn’t be happier with our wedding video & will cherish it always.
Thank you so much, Jordan!!
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2022
Thank you for the amazing review and all the kind words!!! I really do love what I do and I especially appreciate you acknowledging that!
Jordan and Amber were such an awesome team to work with. They were fun and friendly and made us feel comfortable and at ease. They had us laughing throughout the entire time we were with them.
Jordan was very communicative and got us on a call before our big day to go over all of the details to make sure that he understood exactly what was important to us to be included in our video. We received our wedding video within weeks of our wedding and we are beyond AMAZED with it! Everyone we have shared it with has said it looks like a movie! I’ve watched it about 1,000 times already and I’m still astonished every time.
Hi Focused is super professional and we would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top notch cinematography. Thank you Jordan and Amber for an incredible video and experience that we will cherish for a lifetime!
Response from the Vendor on 01/18/2022
Wow thank you for the glowing review!!! I love that you wrote not only was the final film great but also that the experience of working with us was so fun! Thank you again and all the best!
I echo the other reviews. Jordan and his team far exceed our expectations. Our drone footage is amazing. They were fun and professional to work with. We have a beautiful wedding video to treasure forever!
Response from the Vendor on 11/12/2021
Thank you! It was our pleasure! Your wedding day at the Montage Kapalua was so awesome! Thank you for writing this great review :)
We were blown away with the videos Jordan created for us. He really caught every special moment. We highly recommend HiFocused. Everything from the lighting to the songs were perfect. We can’t thank you guys enough. We will treasure the videos you made. 5 stars all the way.
Response from the Vendor on 10/21/2021
Your wedding day at the Andaz Wailea was incredible! Thank you for having us capture it and writing these kind words! I really appreciate it!! :D
Jordan and his team were amazing! The wedding video came out so beautiful! Rewatching it makes me tear up every time. He captured the most beautiful moments of our special day. 10/10 recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 10/11/2021
Wow thank you so so much for the glowing review! This really means a lot that you took the time to write this about your positive experience working with me and my team! All the best to you both!
WOW! HI Focused was beyond amazing!! First of all, Jordan and his team are wonderful to work with and make the whole process easy. Secondly (and most important), their work is top notch! We were on the fence about hiring a videographer for our wedding as we just weren't sure it was necessary. I'm so glad we did! Jordan worked with us to design a package for exactly what we were looking for and our wedding video captured all the special events. I loved the communication and felt like they tried to get to know us to make it fit our personalities and style. The video is so professional with seamless transitions, beautiful music, gorgeous areal shots with a drone (yes - wow!), and flawless editing. Also, the turn around time was so fast! I could go on and on...nothing but positives to say about them.
Response from the Vendor on 09/06/2021
I'm so happy that you enjoyed your time with us so much! It was an amazing day and it all worked out perfectly! You are very welcome!
All the best and take care! Thank you again for the glowing review!
I'll keep it real, this team is beyond amazing. During the planning process, they were very patient and transparent. I didn't know much about Maui, so they listed pros and cons of the various areas.
On the day of my proposal, we got rained out. HI FOCUSED team reached out to me early, and gave me the option to cancel or try a different location. They gave multiple location recommendations with their extensive knowledge of the area. While communicating with them, there was never a time I felt pressured from them to cancel or choose the alternate location.
I wanted to cancel initially, but thankfully I didn't. We went to the alternate location and the team was already set. My lady was definitely surprised, and the alternate location actually worked out better than the initial spot. The cloud formation, the way the sun set, and even the water not hitting us on the ground reminded us to make the best each situation we'll encounter.
What's real impressive is the turnaround time. Long story short, expected weeks to maybe a month to see the final product. Received in much less time, which was great!
Overall, we follow HI FOCUSED on social media. When watching their past and present work, it takes us back to our moment with feel good vibes and relatability. Highly recommend this team, very well worth it.
Response from the Vendor on 08/29/2021
Wow thank you for the great review I really appreciate you doing that! And Congratulations your proposal worked out perfectly despite the
weather and change of location. I agree I think the new spot was an even better fit!
All the best and goo...
d luck with planning the big day!
Jordan and Amber were so great! We loved our 5 min video, and the raw footage that we purchased as well! It’s incredible to me that someone can take an entire wedding day and put it in a video! They captured so many moments I had not even thought about or noticed as the day was so busy and hectic as it was! The detail for everything they captured and did was so amazing! It was so easy to work with both of them also!
Response from the Vendor on 08/28/2021
Wow thank you so so much for the glowing review! Filming your day at the Sheraton was awesome! All the best!
Jordan and Amber were a pleasure to work with. They captured our day perfectly and were so easy to work with. They were flexible, open to ideas and made great suggestions. We love our video and so happy we selected HI Focused as our cinematographer. I would highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 08/27/2021
Thanks again for your review I love what you wrote! It was a pleasure capturing your day! I loved the drone shots we got... What a beautiful elopement!
Thank you so much Jordan and Amber! We are so glad we choose Hi Focused. Jordan and Amber has been amazing, very professional and constant communication thru emails with this pandemic, it was less stressful for us. His creativeness are exceptional. Not just capturing the fun but every small details that’ll be forever in our hearts. The choice of music background wow! Every time we watch our wedding vid brings back the precious memories. We definitely recommend Hi Focused! Thank you so much!
Response from the Vendor on 08/25/2021
Wow thank you so so much for the review! It was our pleasure filming your day at Gannon's Wailea what an amazing day it was! Thanks again!
My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better videographer for our wedding day. Jordan at HI Focused was friendly, professional and efficient. His work speaks for itself - beautiful, cinematic videos that captured the true essence of us as a couple and our wedding as a whole. Communication with him was so easy. HI Focused provided us full day coverage for the day of our wedding, arrived early the day and got great shots of me and my bridesmaids, my husband and his groomsmen, and every small detail you can think of. I know a lot of couples think photos are the top priority but this videography needs to be right there at the top. You do not want to miss out on the most incredible moments of the day and he does an exceptional job of capturing every single one of these moments. Our friends and family were stunned with how well done and professional the video was. Not only did he get that to us within the first week but he also got us our raw footage of the full ceremony and speeches too. Thank you Jordan and his HI Focused team! We are forever grateful and would recommend you to every single person we know. We are so happy to have these videos so we can re-watch for a lifetime!
Jordan with HI FOCUSED cinematography was a dream come true for our wedding. I was very particular about my videographer, so much so that I almost flew in someone from the mainland. However, I came across Jordan and loved his work! I am so glad we went with his team. He was professional, kind, helpful, communicative, and has an exceptional eye for the art of cinema. We have the wedding video of our dreams, thanks to Jordan and the team!
Response from the Vendor on 08/25/2021
Thank you so so much for the heartfelt review about my work and your experience with us! It was my pleasure and your wedding day was AMAZING! Congratulations!
Amazingly high quality video. Professional and accommodating
Response from the Vendor on 08/24/2021
Thank you for the kind words and the review! Congratulations and all the best!!!
A videographer is an investment in reliving your wedding day and enjoying the details that are so easily missed. I would 100% make the same decision to pick Jordan and his team at Hi Focused if I had to do it all over again.
I found Hi Focused when I was watching YouTube videos for my destination wedding at Merriman’s. I went from watching for Merriman’s, to only watching Hi Focused videos and I knew I wanted this company to film my wedding. Meeting Jordan (virtually) was fantastic. He asked a lot of questions to understand my wants and vision. The planning call before the wedding was thorough and well detailed. Meeting Jordan and his assistant Amber on the wedding day was fantastic. They were both detail oriented, easy going, and worked wonderfully with our photographer. I have watched and rewatched my video over and over. Unlike the beautiful flowers at our wedding, this video is something I will use and cherish for the rest of our lifetime.
Thank you, Jordan and Amber, for capturing our day and delivering the most incredible video.
Response from the Vendor on 08/16/2021
Wow thank you for the awesome review! That really means a lot! What you wrote made my day! All the best and congratulations!
HI Focused Cinematography captured our moments perfectly and created a finished product that is better than we could ever have imagined. The professionalism of Jordan and his team are outstanding. We felt comfortable working with HI Focused Cinematography throughout the entire process and appreciate all they did to capture some of our most cherished moments in life. I recommend Hi Focus Cinematography to everyone.
Response from the Vendor on 08/08/2021
Wow thank you thank you for the stellar review! It was an honor to be a part of your proposal! Thanks again for having me and the kind words! :)
I had scoped out Hi Focused Cinematography before I was even engaged. The quality and memories that Jordan captures is just breathtaking. You literally feel like you are there in every video and he makes each of them so special. Jordan and his team were fabulous. Our wedding film came out even better than I had imagined. I literally loved working with this great time and would recommend 100% to anyone looking to capture a special day in their life. Definitely the number one thing I wanted at our wedding (besides my husband). Thank you Jordan & team for such a wonderful experience.
Response from the Vendor on 07/29/2021
Wow thank you so so much for the amazing review! This made my day! :)
Especially this part!
"Definitely the number one thing I wanted at our wedding (besides my husband)..."
Jordan and Amber are the best of the best and were an absolute pleasure to work with!!! From the first time we met with Jordan, it was clear he was going to go above and beyond to deliver a video that was personalized to us - and what we got exceeded our expectations. We absolutely love the film; Jordan and Amber are experts in what they do and captured our day perfectly. And they are so much fun to be around, too!! They definitely put us at ease on the big day. I can't recommend them highly enough :)
Response from the Vendor on 07/11/2021
I love that! "Best Videographer" Thank you again for having us film your day! Wow that review made my day!
A wedding is one of the biggest events in a person's life, and you want to have a great source to remember all about your day. There is no better cinematographer out there than HI FOCUSED. Jordan and his staff are great at everything. Communication, organization, flexibility, professionalism, and superb results. Don't take your chances with other vendors if you are interested in preserving your event in high-quality, high-resolution videos; the best choice is HI FOCUSED. They helped create and preserve our daughter's Maui wedding for family and friends to enjoy for generations to come.
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2021
Thanks so much it was my pleasure work with you and your daughter! All the best and take care!
Jordan and amber are the best - BOOK HI FOCUSED/HI LIGHT CINEMATOGRAPHY! You will not regret it!
My husband and I got married in Maui on June 12, 2021 and Jordan and Amber were amazing! They were both very professional, but made the day so fun and memorable. It was extremely windy during our ceremony and a handful of little things did not go as planned, but you would never be able to tell in the wedding video. They got the video to us very fast too! We were just starting our honeymoon when we got the email from Jordan that our video was ready. It was fun to be able to watch it a few days later when all the craziness calmed down. Jordan is very quick to respond to emails and was very flexible with things such as changing locations for a first look the day of the wedding. I am so happy we chose Hi Light to make our wedding video. We will cherish it for many years to come.
Response from the Vendor on 07/08/2021
Thank you so so much for writing this! I'm really happy that your experience with us was such a positive one! All the best to the both of you! Congratulations!
Working with Jordan and Amber on our wedding day was absolutely perfect! They are so sweet and fun to be around and their talent is incredible!
We were so blown away by Hi Focused! Jordan went above and beyond to make sure our wedding video at the Olowalu Plantation House was perfect. Him and his team were personal, professional, and truly cared to make sure it was how we wanted our day to be captured. The video product exceeded our expectations and more- it’s like watching a movie of your day! 110% recommend them when booking a videographer. Thanks again Hi Focused!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/27/2021
Wow thank you it was our pleasure! You two were so fun, easy and great to work with! All the best, congratulations!
I am so thankful I found HI FOCUSED. Out of all the vendors we used for our wedding, HI FOCUSED was by far, the best. I wish all our vendors were as talented, professional, and patient as Jordan was. He was so easy to work with, and his calm and genuinely kind nature always put my mind at ease. There's already so much to worry about with planning a wedding, and we had to deal with some others vendors that unexpectedly turned out to be not so friendly nor professional. Fortunately, I never had to worry about that with HI FOCUSED. Everyone should take notes from Jordan and his team. They are seriously amazing! Extremely professionalism and communicative. The videos turned out so beautiful and exceeded my expectations. The team captured the day so well and the most beautiful moments for us. The videos were created in such a classic and natural way that I know it'll be timeless. It brings tears to my eyes every time we watch it, and I look forward to showing my children one day. The video was one of the most important things for me for the wedding, and I definitely do not regret choosing HI FOCUSED for this. They are the absolute best in the business!! I only wish I could take them back to Phoenix with me so I could use them for other future events!
Response from the Vendor on 02/27/2021
Wow!! Such kind words :D
That means so much that you had such a great experience working with us!
I really appreciate it! All the best!
Working with Jordan was a blast, and I can't thank him more for making my surprise proposal video the best film ever. My fiancé is over the moon with how perfect our proposal video came out... she can't stop showing everyone! Hi Focused and Jordan are simply the best team you could hire, and we're thankful for his craft. Next film: our wedding! Mahalo, Jordan.
Jordan’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and a keen eye for absolute perfection made working with him the most memorable experience ever! Our Engagement film is Oscar-worthy and we couldn’t be happier. Not only did we receive the best video possible, but we also gained a new friend. Next film: OUR WEDDING! Mahalo and Aloha, Hi Focused!
We coordinated services from Canada and had a seamless experience prior to, during, and after our wedding in 2016. We absolutely love our video and it is a beautiful memory. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This was reinforced again today (Feb 1, 2021) when I sent an email requesting the original movie files again to add to my new computer. Jordan got back to me right away with the files. This is 5 years later and it has sparked such JOY in my day. Simply the best. Hoping to renew our vows someday on Maui when we can all travel again!
