We had an incredible experience with Ikaika as our wedding photographer! He was professional, creative, and made us feel completely at ease during the shoot. Ikaika beautifully captured the love and meaningful moments of our ceremony.

These pictures speak for themselves and he made it feel seamless throughout our entire wedding day. Do yourself a favor and pick Ikaika to capture your next special occasion!
If you want the most beautiful photos of your event, photos through which you can feel the emotions, breathtaking photos, in front of which you will not be able to hold back your tears and you will feel like you are reliving the moment, then choose ikaika, without any hesitation.
We organized our wedding remotely, we live in France and we had never been to the United States. We went through a wedding planning agency that offered us its services, I am someone who really likes photography, someone very demanding and I immediately loved his work. I could feel the emotion through his photos, his professionalism, his love for photography, I loved his play of light, his accuracy and his points of view.
On the wedding day all these points were confirmed, Ikaika is someone very sweet, very natural, who knew how to guide us in the poses, very professional and really very kind. We had an extraordinary time.
I think I will always remember the day we received the photos, what an incredible emotion! He was able to translate the beauty of the moment with incredible talent. We will be able to keep the beauty of this moment for the rest of our lives and we will never be able to thank him enough for that.
Again, thank you so much!
Ikaika was a dream to work with! Every photographer has their own style, and we knew as soon as we saw Ikaika's work that he was for us. Ikaika is so professional and friendly - everything that was supposed to happen happened! We didn't meet Ikaika before our wedding day, as we flew in from abroad; he went the extra mile to make sure we got the photos we wanted, even taking us to a 2nd location. The photos arrived with us in excellent time, and we would do it all again! Thank you.
We are really grateful for having our special moments captured by Ikaika, he made his magic with our special day photos! It was the best choice we could’ve made.
He was incredibly flexible and accommodating to our requirements and needs, which made the entire process stress-free. His kind, calm and helpful attitude really put us at ease, and we felt so comfortable throughout the session. He captured pure emotions and essence of our wedding and his creative photos exceed our expectations. His attention to details is outstanding! Also one of the most important aspects for us when choosing a wedding photographer was to feel a personal connection, and Ikaika was absolutely the right person and the results are the authentic and exceptional photos.
Ikaika is very professional and experienced and we recommend him for any photo session, be sure you’re on the best hands!
Ikaika killed our wedding photos! He was so easy to work with and I was blown away how good our photos turned out. I will be using him whenever we are back on the Island for years to come.
Phenomenal Wedding Photographer - Beyond Our Expectations!
We were lucky enough to have Ikaika as our wedding photographer, and he was nothing short of phenomenal! From the very start, Ikaika was completely in tune with our vision. His attention to detail was impeccable—he noticed things we would have never thought of and made sure every shot was picture-perfect.
What truly set Ikaika apart was his ability to make us feel so comfortable and at ease. Weddings can be stressful, but with Ikaika, it felt like we were just having a great time with a friend. He kept the energy light, fun, and incredibly natural, which translated into the most genuine and beautiful photos.
The pictures? STUNNING. They are everything we dreamed of and more. Ikaika captured every special moment, every smile, every tear, with such artistry and precision that we were blown away when we saw the final results. Each photo is a masterpiece that we will cherish forever.

We are in love with our photos and couldn’t recommend him enough, we look forwards to working with him again the next time we are in Kauai!
Ikaika was amazing!
So kind and professional. He came out to our venue before hand to scope out the light conditions and was super helpful with all the questions we had.
Would highly recommend!
Ikaika was wonderful to work with! He was flexible with scheduling, made us feel comfortable and captured the most amazing pictures. As a couple never professionally photographed before, we appreciated the guidance how to pose and the variety of pictures Ikaika took. Highly recommend!
Ikaika is great! Our wedding photos turned out so wonderful; I am having a hard time picking a favorite... they're all too good! As a couple that hasn't done any photoshoots before, Ikaika had a fun yet comforting spirit that put us at ease. He was friendly, professional, and so so fast at getting us our pictures back. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for fairytale-like photos to capture their day. Thank you Ikaika!! <3
Ikaika was incredible to work with for our wedding. In addition to taking absolutely gorgeous photos, he was so kind and professional. He even went above and beyond to help protect my dress from all of the mud at our venue. We felt comfortable, at ease, and complete trust with what he was doing throughout the entire time. So grateful that we chose Ikaika as our photographer for our wedding day!
Ikaika was FAR more than just an excellent photographer for us. Being from the UK and getting married in Kauai meant there was a lot of unknown territory for us, but Ikaika supported us through every step of the way - from the legalities of marriage to meeting our amazing officiator. Behind the camera, he's also super creative and carries a relaxing air about him that makes posing for photos a lot easier! Delighted with the photos we received and can't recommend Ikaika enough.
We loved working with Ikaika, he was both professional and friendly. Wedding photos can be tedious and awkward, but we had a blast and his direction helped our wedding day feel easy and stress free. Plus the photos turned out fantastic!
Ikaika was kind, professional, and easy to work with from start to finish. He was quick to respond to emails and very accommodating with our requests. We received our beach elopement album back within two weeks and we could not be happier with the pictures. The photos were absolutely stunning as he captured the magic of the day in the most beautiful way.
Ikaika was a gem. Very professional, made you feel comfortable, was very pleasant to be around and most importantly took AMAZING photos on our most important day. Thank you so much!
We hired Ikaika for our intimate wedding ceremony and I could not recommend him enough. My husband and I don't normally love being in front of a camera but he made us feel so comfortable. The photos came out so beautiful and natural, he just perfectly captured us and our love on our special day. We will cherish them forever. Thank you again Ikaika.
