Willy and his team were absolutely amazing! He was a pleasure to work with and very professional.
We were excited and very happy to work with our photographer, Willy Navarro. He was an absolute pleasure and delight to work with and he made our photography experience a fun one w...
ith creative poses and a lot of freedom to do what we wanted to do. He also had his videographer who was very professional as well and made our day a memorable one. It was a pleasure to work with them and when we saw our photos and video we were amazed at the result. Beautiful Images!!! Just beautiful. From the initial consultation, to the planning online, to our actual wedding day, planning was made easy. We would recommend that you have a consultation with Image Sense Hawaii to find the right package for you. Willy was very flexible to adapt to our special requests. We would recommend them to our friends and family and will likely call them again should we require their services! Thank you Willy Navarro and to the wonderful Image Sense Hawaii team that made our day special!
Willy recorded the video for my wedding on Valentine's Day at A-Bay. He was great to work with and as soon as I received the video, within 2 weeks, I was very pleased! His work w...
as amazing and beautiful! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a photographer or videographer.
The first thing that I have to say is that as soon as we had our first meeting with Guillermo, we knew he was the guy that we wanted taking the pictures at our wedding. We had met ...
with other photographers that said they would do whatever we wanted, however when we told them what we wanted, they tried to steer us in a different direction. When Guillermo told us that, he actually meant it. For example, we did not want to spend too much time away from the party taking our shots...he totally made that happen! He also totally respected the fact that although some people enjoy doing the first look between bride and groom before the ceremony, it was important to my husband that we did not do that. He also explained his expertise without pushing. I think one of the reasons we enjoyed having him work our wedding (aside from how amazing our pictures and album came out) was how well he fit in! He was so amazing with everyone! He was completely comfortable with everyone and made them feel the same with him! He was able to laugh with us and add to the happiness of the event! The icing on the cake of course is how amazing the pictures and album came out. Within days he had the website set up and sent to us! After we picked the pictures, he had the album put together and sent us every quickly as well! The shots that he was able to get, especially because he worked by himself, we're just outstanding! We could not believe that he was able to run around that quickly! Guillermo helped make our wedding something that we can always look back on and remember how beautiful it was! You will not regret hiring him!
My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Guillermo a few different times. He did our engagement pictures, family pictures, and our wedding. We cannot express how much...
we enjoyed working with him. He was always quick to respond to us whenever we needed anything or had any questions, we always got our finished product quickly, he was a lot of fun to work with, he took all of our wants and need seriously, he is professional, and most importantly he was able to capture all of the most important memories of our wedding perfectly!! We are in love with our pictures from the wedding (as well as the others he has done) and we are so happy we chose him to capture our big day! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer, and our family will continue to use him for whatever events we can in the future!!
When we were looking for a wedding photographer I knew I wanted something special. I wanted something unique, artistic, and real. I didn't want my wedding photos to come out lookin...
g like every other set of wedding photos, I wanted real moments captured. When I came across Guillermo's portfolio I knew that he would be the right choice to capture our day, and I could not have been more right. Not only is our complete wedding set beyond what I could have imagined, but his artistic style, and our personalities really come across. We got a little of everything: the standard formals, decor pictures, family portraits, and your anticipated wedding shots and we also got what can only be described as PURE ARTWORK. I'm talking about the kind of thing you want to hang our your wall based on aesthetic quality alone and not just because it was taken on happiest day of your life. I really can't say enough good things about Guillermo. He's an absolute gem of a human, in addition to being one of the most artistically talented photographers I know. Looking through our final set of pictures feels like reliving every emotion we experienced on our day, that's how effectively he captured our REAL moments.
Profound talent, outstanding skill, amazing product and exceptional service. Willy not only enabled us to be our truest selves on our wedding day, but he felt like he was a part of...
our own family. He was discrete and unobtrusive, understanding and patient the entire day. He did not boss us around but were in fact gentle and loving. The pictures alone are quite amazing, but his ability to fit in anywhere makes the experience that much more fun. He will forever be in our hearts because he made our day utterly stressless and LOADS OF FUN!!!!! The best photographer, hands down. Do not make the mistake of booking another one. All of our love, L+T
I couldn't be happier. My wedding pictures were fantastic and Willy Navarro was great to work with. We were able to ask all the questions we needed and incorporate all of our speci...
al requests into the package we choose. I didn't realize a photographer has to work that much until I saw him moving around always looking for the perfect angle and trying not to miss a moment of the event.
Looking at the pictures now we can remember every moment of the day because he was always there ready to register every second of it. We got our formal portraits but also tons of candid picts of family and friends. His sunset pictures were gorgeous. I wanted to have a good one for my living room but there so many good ones that I'm putting one in every room, in my mom's house, everywhere (lol). He did a great job an I want to thank him by recommending his work to all the brides out there that are going to get married in Hawaii.
Excellent photographer. Creative and hard working. We not only had great pictures taken of our wedding but we also had fun while doing the photo session. The wedding album he desig...
ned for us will be a treasure for our whole life. We will show it to our children and (why not?) our grandchildren too, lol.
I wanted to let you know how much we loved our pictures and the wedding video that you did for us. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful job! We will treasure these images forever!
Willy was wonderful, he has made all of our photos unique, they are unlike any other that I've seen! He took the ideas that I (the bride) had and improved them. He was also very gr...
eat about clueing into our style and showing that through the pictures. He spent so much time with us through the entire wedding from before the ceremony to reception! He also gave us all the rights to our pictures which is amazing and not many photographers do that. He also made our video that was wonderful and provided a live streaming webcam for our family and friends that couldn't make it to Hawaii. I highly recommend him to anyone! Amazing photographer!
WIlly Navarro was everything that I wanted and more. He was incredibly professional and flexible and was always willing to work with me to find out what I wanted. Not only did he d...
o the normal standard photographs but he also did some really cool and artistic ones as well that I absolutely love. The best part about Image Sense Hawaii photography service is the price, I definitely feel like I got my moneys worth.
We found Image Sense Hawaii as one of the options that our wedding coordinator gave us. We picked them among several other photographers and we couldn't be happier with the result....
We really liked the sunset pictures in his website. Since we were having a beach wedding we really wanted a photographer that could capture all the beauty of a Hawaiian sunset. Our pictures were gorgeous.
We fully recommend Willy Navarro. His service was great, he was creative, he had several ideas and suggestions that ended up being great pictures that we would've never dream of taking. Overall a great experience.
We were very glad that we found Guillermo Navarro to be our photographer. We got married at the Hilton Waikoloa Village in the Big Island and planning a wedding from 1000 miles awa...
y is a bit intimidating. All our communication was by email or phone and Guillermo was great at taking the time to answer every question we had, gave us advice, suggestions and was very willing to accommodate all of our requests.
On the wedding day, he was on time, discreet and was very fun to work with. We started with "getting ready" pictures in my room.The pictures were great, he capture some great candid moments with my bridesmaids and my parents. He was fast enough to go to my fiancee's room and take some great pictures of the boys also.
During the ceremony I didn't even noticed him. He was discreet and I was surprised of how many different pictures he took.
The sunset pictures were perhaps the best. Just gorgeous romantic shots exactly as you imagine getting in Hawaii. I was very interested in sunset shots and I compared other photographers samples and I was very impressed with Guillermo's sunset shots. I was not disappointed because our sunset pictures were just incredible. He definitely has an eye for sunsets.
One more thing is that his company also does video and live streaming. We tried the live streaming because several friends and family couldn't make it and we loved it. Was so special to know that they were following the ceremony on a computer back home. Overall, very happy with the service, the pictures and the style. Just what we were looking for.
One thing I did not realize prior to the wedding was that the person you spend the most time with on your wedding day is your photographer, so it really is an important decision! A...
lthough we hardly noticed he was there at times because he is so quick and quiet.
It is obvious from his photographs that Guillermo Navarro is a professional, talented and amazing photographer. His style is perfect for a wedding, capturing all of the emotions from the day and not missing a moment. He knows what you want without being told, which is important since you have zero time to discuss on the day. He shoots with 2 cameras which allows him to quickly change the framing and composition of the shot in a fraction of a second.
Beyond his obvious talent for taking the perfect photographs, he is a really fun, nice person. He makes your wedding day that much more fun and exciting.
The information Willy provided regarding his services during the wedding planning was accurate and helped us to make the best choice for our wedding needs. Willy was flexible and ...
professional regarding music selection and questions and best of all: his work is AMAZING! He captured this shot of the sunset as my husband and I were walking down a path that is simply breathtaking! Our video is something we are excited to watch and share with our friends and family, and we are so grateful that Willy captured our wedding the way that he did - because it is the only way for us to go back and re-live it. Our family and friends have all commented that they were surprised at how well-done the video was...I guess everyone has gotten used to and expects the typical, average, cheesy wedding video - and they were pleasantly surprised with ours!
Image Sense Hawaii and Willy Navarro were wonderful to work with on the videotaping of the wedding of my grandson and daughter-in-law. The bulk of our communication was through ema...
ils and telephone calls, because I live on the island of Oahu and my grandson and granddaughter-in-law were coming to the Big Island for their wedding ceremony from the Washington, D.C. area. Our needs were met with sensitivity, personal attention, responsiveness, and a high degree of professionalism, quality service, and flexibiity when little changes needed to be made. Images and feelings of that memorable day were captured so beautifully!l I got my money's worth, and more! I highly recommend Image Sense Hawaii!
