Kai-Photo Hawaii

Kai-Photo Hawaii was so easy to work with for my wedding! Very helpful and kind. Definitely would recommend!

Kyler is awesome!! We first met him at Ko'olau Ballroom's wedding expo and he was really nice and very knowledgeable. We did both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures with him, so it was nice to get to know him before the big day. My husband and I were worried about our pictures being too "posed" but Kyler was able to make our pictures look very organic and natural and they came out beautifully. He has a very calm presence which helped put us at ease. This was great to have on a day as busy and stressful as our wedding day! What was also great was that he was very familiar with our venue and knew the best places to go to take pictures during our cocktail hour. He is so efficient and thorough and we were able to finish pictures a little early so we could enjoy some down time before the reception started. Highly recommend him and his team!! Thank you, Kyler!!

Kyler and Kai-Photo was one of the first vendors we booked, which worked out great because he was able to help recommend others to help fill out our roster. He was flexible as we tried to work out our schedule for the day, with a large gap of time between our ceremony and our reception, it took some work to make sure we had the proper coverage and to minimize the idle time. When my wife requested some photos with the ocean as background, he pointed out that the beach across from our reception venue did not allow commercial photography but there was a terrace on the 3rd floor that would be perfect for what she wanted, and that was just one of a dozen suggestions or ideas he had to help us out. And of course, the photos we got back were wonderful. Throughout this process, he was definitely a terrific partner in putting together our special day.

Kyler was so great to work with. I am personally not a big photo person and I get nervous in front of the camera and he totally made me and everyone else involved feel so comfortable and included. It was an effortless experience on our end and we could not have asked for more on our wedding day! 😍

We used Kyler for both our engagement photoshoot and the wedding! He is quick and efficient in making the photos look as great as possible (even with hundreds of people). He is sooo amazing at helping people who don't know how to pose like me and my now husband. Kyler and Mako were amazing for our wedding day and got all the shots we asked for and more. Kyler is responsive and will always give you his professional opinion if you're unsure of something. You can't go wrong with this company! Much love to Kyler and his team!

Kyler helped us plan our wedding ceremony while we were out of state and he made it an absolutely breeze!!! Everything went so wonderfully we joked it must not have been an actual wedding as we never felt stressed day of. Also I am an anxious person so kept having a lot of questions leading up to the wedding and Kyler was always available and answered everything question thoroughly!

Kyler was our personal photographer for my daughter's special beach wedding. I found him to be very personable, prompt, knowledgeable, experienced, and professional at all stages of the event. He understood the quality and importance of background, lighting, and positioning of the couple and wedding party. His photos captured the most loving and telling moments of the couple. Our family was amazed with the polished results and are very grateful he was our photographer. We thank you, Kyler!!!

We love Kyler and Kai-Photo! I wish we could give them more than 5 stars because they truly deserve it. We worked with Kyler in 2019 for our engagement photos after our family recommended him. We absolutely loved all of our photos and working with Kyler was such an easy and enjoyable process, that we were so excited to work with again for our wedding. Due to Covid-19, we had to postpone our wedding from October 2020 to October 2021. Throughout the two years that we have worked with Kyler, he has been nothing but professional, personable, extremely responsive, and always willing to answer our questions and offer his expertise when we need it. Words can't express how much we have enjoyed working with Kyler and how wonderful he is. He traveled from Oahu to the Big Island for our wedding and arrived on time and ready to go. He was so great with directing all of us for pictures, whether it was myself, my bridesmaids, or any of the guys. He was also so great with our 5 year old flower girl and ring bearer. I know that it can sometimes be challenging to engage young kids in photos, but Kyler knew exactly how to engage and interact with them during the photos that they were included in. Overall Kyler made the entire day and all photography so enjoyable and effortless for us, and I think it really shows through on our photos. We absolutely LOVE all of our photos and could not have asked for anyone or anything better! Kyler is very detail orientated and made sure to take the time to help us pose, direct us, or remind us to fix our hair or leis when needed. He was extremely attentive and was open to all of the things we wanted to do/incorporate into our wedding photos, such as going back to the same beach where we did our engagement photos to get a few in our wedding attire. He even helped us redo our photography timeline about a month out from the wedding, and we can't thank him enough. It turned out to be everything and more than we could have hoped for. Kyler is wonderful and I recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a photographer, whether it's for an engagement, wedding, or even a family photoshoot! His work is amazing, he is kind and so easy to work with, and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed

Amazing, amazing! Kyler was so fantastic He took the stress out of posing and man do I love how natural the pictures came out. I would highly recommend Kai-Photo Thank you for giving us the best memories ever!

We hired Kyler to photograph our elopement ceremony on Oahu and wholeheartedly recommend his services to other couples. We virtually met with several photographers while deciding on our final vendor, and Kyler stood out with his level of professionalism and attention to detail. He was also the photographer who seemed most genuinely interested in who we were as a couple and capturing our day in a way that was authentic to us. He had pre-prepared information to help us decide on our ceremony location, which ended up being in Waimanalo Bay. The notes he took on our first meeting were valuable in keeping us on track--there were several times I had forgotten important logistical things to do, but Kyler was there with a timely email to make sure everything got done. The day of our ceremony, Kyler was the perfect balance between calm/reassuring and directive. I thought I would be tired of posing for the 2 hours we had booked, but the time flew by. He gave great direction on how to pose and made us feel at ease. Our 100+ album of edited photos was available to us 2 weeks later and we were blown away by all the beautiful photos we have now to remember our day. We could not have chosen a better photographer. Thank you so much Kyler!

Choosing Kai-Photo Hawaii to be our elopement ceremony photographer couldn’t have been a better choice. Kyler and his team are true professionals and he really made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process beginning from our first call to discuss details and preparation for the big day, during the photoshoot and even afterwards with the support we received in choosing pictures to print. From the beginning to the end we felt well cared for and I am definitely happy to recommend Kai-photo to my friends and family.

In its simplest form, the photos are what’s left after the wedding celebration and frankly you never really know how the day went until you can see it through a pro’s eyes. From the beginning, KYLER made us feel at ease with his familiarity of venues, flexibility, and patience during our engagement session and wedding day. We were very pleased to see what moments he captured and will treasure the shots with family and friends the most. His coaching leading up to the wedding day along with his calm demeanor helped us to stay relaxed and enjoy our special day. We are very grateful to KYLER and DEREK for capturing the fun of our night.

Our photographer was awesome! We had some trying times with the weather. It was super windy and raining off and on. He was able to get some amazing shots even with the elements interfering. He was super patient, easy going, and very professional. Our photos turned out great! I would absolutely recommend Kai-photo to everyone!

Since our wedding was a destination wedding and our fabulous planner took care of everything we needed, we didn't even know the name of our photographer till the day of. That sounds a little suspicious if not crazy, but the moment I met Kyle, I knew our photos would be great. He was chill, he knew what he was doing ( the venue, too) and very easy to work with. Most of our guests and my husband don't speak English so he might had difficulties to arrange group photos, but that was the only hiccup we had. I just received photos and these are AMAZING! As a bride, everything went so quick and I couldn't pay attention to everything during the ceremony, but he captured everything. I LOVE one specific shot that my husband hugging my mom while giving her a lei which I couldn't see from where I was standing. I can feel her happiness and love from this shot, and it means a lot to me. I am very, very happy that we worked with Kyle. THANK YOU!!!

Kai Photo did the wedding photos for me and my husband. Everything went so well with them. Kyler was so great at responding to us quickly and professionally right from our inquiry. He answered so many of my questions and very helpful and informative up to the big day. On our wedding day he was very easy to work with and very patient with me (I was 30 minutes late to our sheduled time due to a dress problem). My husband, my parents and my in-laws thought Kyler and his team were super nice thoughout the first look photos, ceremony and reception. After the wedding, Kyler updated us on when we would receive our photos and it didn't take long at all and all the photos were amazing. I would definnitely reccomend Kai Photo to anyone who wants beautiful, professional photos. Mahalo, Kai Photo! Love, The Andersons!

Deciding to go with Kai-Photo Hawaii for our engagement and wedding photography was a decision we will never regret. We hired Kai-Photo because after meeting Kyler, we felt that we found someone personable, exceptionally skilled and truly dedicated to their art, genuinely interested in getting to know us as a couple, and easy to work with. We aren’t camera people, so having a photographer we felt comfortable around and could trust was incredibly important to us. On top of all of that, we don’t know of anyone who does panoramic crystal albums the way Kai-Photo does. From the first time we contacted Kai-Photo and throughout the months that followed, Kyler responded quickly and meticulously answered all of our questions. The way he gave us information, suggestions, and timeline deadlines in manageable chunks showed us how organized, knowledgeable, and experienced he was. Kyler worked with us to create a wedding photography timeline that would get us the shots that we wanted in the amount of time we had, suggested efficient ways to get photos with all our guests in the amount of space we would have, and even offered to look at our reception program for us when we mentioned that we weren’t sure if the timing was right. Talk about going the extra mile, and we found that this work ethic also showed in the photos that Kai-Photo took and processed for us. Kyler worked around our schedules to do a two-location engagement photo shoot that told our story, even accommodating that the locations were farther apart than what would be normally recommended for the time constraint. This was our first experience with a professional photographer so we were nervous, but Kyler was able to help us feel comfortable. He balanced giving us solid directions with asking for our input regarding special poses or backgrounds. It ended up being a super fun experience, and it was neat that Kyler was getting excited about the photos and wanted to show us sneak peaks of shots he got. He sent us the link to our online gallery in less than two weeks, and the photos were amazing! We loved the variety of special moments captured against the vibrant scenic colors and creative lighting setups. Kyler and another photographer, Kristy, came to our wedding. They were both friendly and professional as they met our family and wedding party, which helped everyone to feel at ease. Kyler’s attention to detail really stood out to us; he caught little things like the bottom button of one of the groomsmen’s jackets that shouldn’t have been buttoned, or fixed how my dress fell to show off its intricacies. Kyler and Kristy blended in seamlessly during the ceremony while getting their shots; we hardly even noticed they were there and yet they captured so many of the moments that we want to remember. Even when things happened outside of “the plan” like family members not all present for family photos, waves coming onto the shore where we were going to stand, guests asking to snap photos with their cameras, and my last minute request to take a few extra photos with my bridal party, they handled it calmly and with grace. We received our processed photos just about five weeks later and are thrilled with how they came out. The link to the online gallery has been great to share with family and friends, and we continue to get compliments about our engagement session and wedding photos. We feel so fortunate to have found Kyler of Kai-Photo Hawaii and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

We were very happy with our experience working with Kyler! He is very professional and honest. He is very experienced and knowledgable and made a lot of suggestions that were helpful.

Superb service!!! Kai Photo was very responsive from the start. We had multiple telephone discussions to detail what exactly we will be expecting for the big day. They were very organized on the day of the event and arrived promptly. Fast turnaround time for the photo editing process as well. We look forward to working with them in the near future.

It was wonderful working with Kyler to plan the details for our wedding in Hawaii, and although we are located on the mainland, Kyler was always available to answer our questions via phone calls and through e-mails. He was also very attentive to our requests, and closely worked with us throughout the process to make sure everything would run smoothly the day of the wedding. When the actual day of the wedding arrived, Kyler and his team made the photo experience quite enjoyable and fun for us and our bridal party. We received the post-processed photos a few weeks after, and we were extremely pleased to see how perfect all of the photos looked to capture and remember our special day. It was a joy working with Kyler and his team, and we highly recommend their services to anyone seeking amazing quality and utmost service. We look forward to having another photo opportunity to work with Kai-Photo Hawaii.

We have had photos taken by Kai a couple of years ago. This year, we decided to do something together as a family to include our kids in our vowel renewal. I was busy with work and was briefly explaining to Kyler what I would like to do. After considering my requests, Kyler suggested to do a sand ceremony for our family. He scheduled everything for us from the officiant to makeup artist. All I had to do was worry about bring the sand bottles for the ceremony. His photos were beautiful and the colors were vibrant. The location suggested was also beautiful as well. It was a memorable ceremony for us and our kids and we now have photos as proof! I would definitely recommend Kyler and his services. He was fast, efficient, and very punctual---which is a plus bc it seems everyone is on island time there =)

Our pictures came out beautifully and professionally done! It's a bit expensive, but I'd rather pay to have really good pictures than pay less to have disappointing pictures. If having pictures of your special day is important to you, then this is worth the investment! Kyler is very knowledgeable, gave suggestions at our pre-wedding session, is familiar with Hawaii locations so he knows the advantages and disadvantages of the site (you can tell he has a lot of experience), and is great about being flexible to let you enjoy your special day and guests... yet he catches so many great moments on camera that we missed. My friends and family also enjoyed the photos and complimented them a lot! We highly recommend Kai-Photo Hawaii!

I was so glad that I found Kai Photo! From the initial email to meeting him for the photoshoot, it was all a breeze. He is super responsive and gives his most honest opinion in regards to all my questions and concerns (what color dress I should wear, what color shows up best with the pretty blue background of Hawaii, etc.). My boyfriend and I are not the best with posing or anything, but he was able to make us comfortable and take such great photos. Kyler suggested a few poses and they all turned out great! We especially loved the silhouette photos that not a lot of photographers do. Lastly, he got us the pictures in just a couple of days! Will definitely be back and have him take more pictures next time!

Kai photo was great to work with. Our pictures are breathtaking. He was there before our schedule time, he took every picture we wanted and more. Our day couldn’t have gone any more perfect. Would definitely work with Kyler again! Thank you.

As most know, planning a wedding and the day of the wedding is a whirlwind of mind blurring decisions and events, Kyler made everything easy and seemless. I mentioned that I wanted more casual candid pictures and he caught moments that were priceless. At the last minute, we had a change in schedule and he worked with me to de-stress the change into a smooth revision to our schedule. Kyler is easy to work with, has a good eye for different picture shots, and very flexible to accommodate exactly what you want for memories. Thank you Kyler and your team for capturing our wedding memories.

Kyler was AMAZING! I was a very hands off person. I was not your typical bride and did not really know the wedding basics and shared that with Kyler during our first conversation. He sent us options, gave us advice (unplugged ceremonies are the way to go people!), and most of all caught the best moments on camera! Our ceremony was small (40 people) and our party the next day (200 people) was a whirlwind and Kyler got photos of moment I don't even remember! The quality of the photos is something you cannot capture on a cell phone. I appreciate that although I didn't know what I wanted, Kyler was intuitive! He made suggestions based on our style and that is something that made me feel more comfortable during the more formal photo sessions. I am so grateful for his expertise, his super awesome chill personality, and his follow up. Bonus - our photos were delivered FAST! I wanted to incorporate his photos in to our thank you cards and he had 3 days worth of photos ready in 3 weeks. AMAZING! Mahalo Kai Photo for everything!

I cannot say enough about how amazing it was to work with Kai-Photo. From the very beginning they made our process easy, exciting and informative; he helped coordinate our officiant and our hair/make up artist for the wedding (both of whom we also adored), and was always friendly and helpful if we had any questions. The wedding day was beyond beautiful and his recommendations for location and specific photos were exactly what we had envisioned them to be. I would highly recommend Kyler and Kai-Photo Hawaii to anybody looking for a super friendly, professional, extremely talented and well-organized photographer for any occasion - I know we will definitely be contacting them for any future photography needs!

Kai-Photo was the absolute best! They have done 3 weddings for our family. They knew where to get all the best shots at each venue and how to cue us into the perfect pose. They were friendly, flexible, and professional. Would absolutely recommend to everyone.

As almost any [married] couple will tell you, this very special day will fly by! Thus it's VERY important to have photos and/or video to capture every beautiful moment so that you can treasure it forever. Working with Kyler from Kai-Photo was probably the best decision we made when planning our destination wedding on Oahu! My husband and I were definitely a bit anxious planning our wedding from 4500 miles away (East Coast), but working with Kyler made us feel so much better about everything. He helped us plan our family and friends list for specific shots and even met with us shortly after we landed in Honolulu to go over our timeline and make us feel at ease. When the BIG day came we ran into a few obstacles, as most couples do on their wedding day, but Kyler was very flexible and, even though we had to start our ceremony a bit later than expected, he made the most out of our time with him and we even got an unexpected first look photo shoot in which turned into some amazing shots! After the ceremony, we traveled to different locations around the coast and Kyler truly made us feel like celebrities while taking some absolutely stunning photographs! I didn't know we could look so good (lol)! My husband and I are so unbelievably happy that we chose Kai-Photo for our photographs and wedding video as he truly captured the love and happiness we felt on that beautiful day!

We just got married a month ago in Hawaii and Kyler was absolutely amazing! We were very concerned with hiring a right photographer for our wedding. We got married at a chapel that had in house photographers, but we wanted hire one on our own to make sure we end up with great wedding photos. Kyler was very prompt with all our questions, even before we made our decision to go with him - he showed us his previous works at the venue which we were very pleased with. We did a mini photo session the day before the wedding and Kyler was very professional and helpful along the way. He made great suggestions with location, poses, and everything else. We would highly recommend Kai-photo!

Kyler and his second photographer, Hiko, made our event unforgettable! He really went above and beyond our expectations - even staying overtime just to ensure that we got the shots we wanted. My wife and I have never looked better! Thank you Kyler!

Having Kai Photography as our wedding photographer vendor was the best decision I could ever make in selecting the best of the best. They were extremely professional, fun, interactive, and most importantly, made me feel comfortable and completely happy being photographed on the best day of my life! More than I could imagine! Normally, I'm not photogenic, but the photographer made me feel relaxed, and I had fun taking photos with my now husband. Both my husband and I would definitely recommend this wonderful company to our family and friends for future events. Luckily enough, we decided to also keep Kai Photography in mind for future events: vow renewal, possibly baby photos:) . We extremely look forward to working with them in our life events, as we consider them family as well.

My fiance and I live on Maui but met on Oahu at Chaminade University. We decided to take our engagement photos at the place where we first met. Not knowing many professional photographers on Oahu, we did some research and found Kai-Photo Hawaii. They stood out to us because several people commented on how great the service was and the quality of the photos were astounding. They were very quick to respond and schedule something with us. The day of, everything went great; from beginning to end. We got our edited photos back within a week and they did not disappoint. Both the color and black and white photos came out amazing. We highly recommend Kai-Photo Hawaii to anyone looking for professional photography. Thank you Kai-Photo Hawaii.

Kyler of Kai Photos worked with us through phone and email consultation to help us select the service that would best suit our family. On the day of the wedding, Kyler arrived on time. He was pleasant and professional, and created beautiful images of a wonderful day. He sent an email with a link to view the photographs very soon after we returned home. We are very pleased with the quality of the photographs and the variety of images he captured. We highly recommend Kai Photo as a company to trust with special moments of your life.

Kyler was our photographer for our July 2018 wedding, and we could not have been more pleased! He was very professional and friendly throughout the entire process, from the planning stages before the wedding, to the actual day, and afterwards as we chose our wedding album photos. I was nervous about planning our wedding from afar as we live in Australia, but Kyler was very receptive and quick to return my emails. We even had a facetime meeting, which gave me a good feel of what it would be like to work with Kyler. We worked together on making a timeline for the day and everything went smoothly. The photos Kyler took were fantastic, and we had many compliments from friends and family about them! Thank you, Kyler, for being part of our big day and helping capture special memories that we will have forever.

Thank you for capturing our special day !

Very creative photographer. The quality of his photos are stunning (even under low lighting) and very detail oriented. The poses he suggested were nice and "post-worthy". He's very easy to work with, takes care of everything (very instructive), and very accommodating. There was never any moments of frustration, only fun and laughter. Thank you for documenting our important day. We would definitely come back for future photo engagements.

We met Kyler a few years ago when we hired Kai Photo for our wedding in 2015. We loved his work and were very pleased with the photos that came out. Fast forward 3 years later, we decided to do a family photoshoot/maternity mini session with him, before the arrival of baby #2. We would’ve asked him to do our maternity photos for baby #1 in 2016, but we ended up going with a photographer on Kauai while we were on our babymoon there. Kyler is very easygoing and gave us his honest recommendations on what he thought would be best for our photoshoot. He recommended several spots and went with a beautiful location on the east side of the island. He had suggestions on different poses for us that captured different parts of the landscape, which I really liked. He was also very good with our super active almost 2 year old boy, who was uncooperative for most of the session. (Kyler has two little daughters himself so he knows how it is to work with the kiddos/toddlers). It is usually a struggle for us to even get a smile out of our son for photos, and I’m surprised Kyler was able to capture several shots of him smiling for the camera. He also was very patient with our son and receptive to his needs, such as giving him time to explore his surroundings or suggesting he take a snack break, etc. Lastly, I like that Kyler is attentive to details so if my hair wasn’t in the right spot or the flower in my hair wasn’t showing, he would have me fix/adjust it. We are soooo happy with the photos that came out for this photoshoot and will definitely use Kai Photo again in the future!

We LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! our wedding photos! Kai-Photo's did a fantastic job! My husband and I liked the fact that they do candid shots! Kyler was our photographer and he did such a great job with capturing the moments! We got married on September 1st and I can't stop looking at our photos. Kyler also was our photographer for our Engagement photos. Again, job well done! We would highly recommend Kai-Photos! Answers email efficiently! Provides helpful tips. We did not know what we were doing for our engagement photos (poses, etc) and Kyler was very patient and made us feel at ease and comfortable. If ever we need a photographer in the future, we definitely will contact Kai-Photos! :)

There's no need to look further for a photographer. Kai-Photo is the best around. They are very easy to work with, very professional and extremely talented. Photos capture precious memories that we can look back on forever and we are beyond pleased with the photos Kyler captured for us. We will continue to work with Kai-Photo for all of our needs and highly recommend you do to!

Kyler shot a honeymoon photoshoot for us when we visited Oahu last week. He was so great, shooting more pictures than expected and had them ready less than a week later. We did sunset pictures and they turned out so beautiful! Highly recommend!!

Where do I even start?! Kyler was the epitome of professionalism, thoughtfulness, and transparency. We had a medium sized destination wedding in May that was relatively low frills, but the one thing we wanted to invest in was the photography. We knew the pictures would be the one part of our wedding that would live on forever and help us remember our special day. I considered quite a few photographers before our wedding, but I found myself coming back to Kyler's photos again and again. I was really drawn to his aesthetic, his use of light and nature, and his ability to capture the beauty of both landscape and candid emotion. When we first contacted him, he was incredibly prompt in his reply, usually getting back to us within hours. When he wasn't able to response as quickly, we would let us an expected timeframe to hear from him. We really appreciated having clear expectations from him in this regard. We were able to take a trip to O'ahu before our wedding and had the opportunity to meet Kyler in person. He was incredibly prepared and detail-oriented: he followed up to confirm our meeting beforehand, sent us directions, along with a pin of his exact location where he would be waiting for us, and left us his phone number if we had trouble finding him. When we met him, he not only had several photo albums for us, he also started sketching out a timeline for the photography (and for our wedding!) with different pricing scenarios. At that point, we ourselves had JUST started thinking about the event timeline (we didn't have a professional coordinator), so this was incredibly helpful and above and beyond our expectations. And we hadn't even signed a contract yet! When we finally did officially hire Kai Photo, Kyler was very accommodating, including amendments to the model release clause that would respect our privacy. He continue to be just as helpful up until the day of our wedding - giving suggestions for the shot list, discussing an unplugged wedding so ceremony pictures are as unobstructed as possible, helping us think through the timing and location of photos. He also solicited our thoughts as well about what pictures we wanted. I was particularly comforted by the fact that Kyler had shot where we were having our ceremony. It was really important to me that our photographer was familiar with our site, so they knew where the best lighting, angles, photo opts, etc were - and Kyler definitely came through in this regard. In fact, he had even worked with the event manager at our site and helped us make sure we had enough time to get to our ceremony after our first look pictures! We had talked over the phone a few times the week of the wedding, and when the big day came, Kyler was early to the site for our first look and was ready to get to work. He had ideas and gave us direction for poses, which we appreciated, without it being too awkward, while also giving us space to be ourselves. During the ceremony, he was well positioned and unobtrusive, so we could really be present. He moved quickly through our shot list and was VERY patient with our friends and families assembling themselves for the photos. However, the candids during and after the ceremony are where his work really shined! He was able to capture such authentic emotions and moments at angles we didn't think were even photographed! To us, this was the real value of Kai Photo, and for this, we will forever be grateful for hiring Kyler.

I found Kai-Photo Hawaii online. Kyler took over from there, being very responsive to all my inquiries. It was a process that took several days, as we were traveling for over a month and only had internet connection in the evenings at our hotels. Kyler was able to answer all of our questions and we signed a contract and paid on-line. Our son and his bride married on the mainland, but came back to Hawaii for a dinner party we hosted at Vino. Kyler agreed to an additional photo session at the beach beforehand and took "formal" group photos of the families prior to the party. He then took mostly candid photos during the dinner, as well as photos with the bride and groom with each table of guests. Kyler was on time and was a true professional. We all LOVE the photos! The beach pictures are stunning, as are the family ones. And the photos taken during the dinner are wonderful memories of the tables, food, and guests that were there, and they will be cherished forever.

Kyler and his crew were excellent to work with. They are very prompt and professional in all of their communications. Their picture were absolutely beautiful. They did a great job capturing the lighting and making everything look amazing, in spite of the fact that it rained during the ceremony. I really enjoyed working with them. They finished processing our wedding photos and sent us an online gallery within two week of our wedding day. The wedding cake, the food, all of that is temporary, and when it's all over, all that's left are the memories...and the pictures! Thanks Kyler!

Let me say from the first time we communicated with Kyler, we felt taken care of. His professionalism along with his caring heart made our decision easy to have him be our wedding photographer. Kyler and his team pay attention to detail and really captured what we wanted. He is very clear with his directions and the approach that he is trying to do. We really enjoyed working with him as he communicates respect and dignity. Whenever we had a question/inquiry, he responded right away and made sure that we were heard. On the wedding day, Kyler and Hiko gave us a sense of calm and captured the best moments as we didn't stress. They were really awesome from start to finish. The photos came out beautiful and we really enjoyed the services that they provided. I highly recommend Kyler and his team if you want the best photos for your special day. Mahalo Kyler!

I am glad that we used Kai-Photo as our photographer!! He was on time, super nice, and entertaining. Pictures came out faster than we expected and thank you sooo much for the amazing experience !

Awesome family portraits from our week long vacation to Hawaii! Had a great experience with Kyler. Especially since we were tourists, we were so glad to have someone who knows the area and recommend to us the perfect backdrop, which was also really family friendly for my three kids. And the pictures turned out great - the lighting, the touch up...were all fantastic.

Kai-Photo recently did my maternity photos. I wanted a location near the water and Kai offered many different beach/park options plus sent me a link to different sample photos at those locations. The morning of the shoot was rainy and they were so nice about giving me options to reschedule if I wanted to (I ended up not canceling). My photographer, Kyler was very professional, easy to work with, friendly and helpful in creating poses with the props we brought. He took our ideas (some of which were a little weird) and made it look great. We felt at ease and had a lot of fun. Although photos usually take 2-3 weeks to process, Kyler sent it to us quicker! Overall, I would highly recommend Kai-Photo because they were easy to work with, were professional as well as friendly, quick with communication/responses, never made me feel stupid when I asked questions or wanted a certain type of pose, and the photos were BEAUTIFUL! I've worked with many photographers in the U.S. (personally and professionally) and Kai-Photo was one of the best experiences I've had. Thank you Kyler & Kai-Photo!

Kai is very professional and our pictures came out amazing!! I highly recommend him.

Great to work with and capturing memories

Great communication despite me being abroad, and when members of wedding were late, Kyler rearranged the photo schedule without hesitation. This helped my stress level immensely. Not to mention stunning photographs. Top notch professionalism!

Kai-photo was absolutely amazing! I cried when I re looked through all our photos! He captured so many beautiful and natural moments!

As a photographer myself, I was very picky about who shot my wedding. I was looking for technical expertise, of course, but I also wanted personality and emotion as well. We were so happy we chose Kai-Photo. They were so easy to work with and we were very comfortable, which translated into better photos! During the ceremony, we didn't even notice they were there, but the emotion they captured was amazing. All our requests were handled without hassle and they were quicker than we expected to get us our pictures. I feel Kyler went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend Kyler and his company for any event!

Kyler was an amazing photogropher! He was very professional, had great ideas for poses and backgrounds. I felt completely at ease! The photos have turned out so beautifully. 100% would recommend.

Kai Photo is great to work with. They are helpful from a distance being that I planned a small wedding from NY and reliable. Kyler and his team was always there to answer any questions, and would respond right away. It made me feel comfortable from the beginning till the very end. The photos are gorgeous we are very happy with them, Kyler also rec our videographer who we loved!!! I would strongly rec and rest assured if you are planning from another time zone! Hope this helps

It was a pleasure to work with Kyler and Grace for our wedding photography! We mostly worked with Kyler (though exchanged some nice emails with Grace, too!). Kyler was always prompt to reply by email and had very helpful suggestions as we worked together to think through the wedding timeline with respect to capturing important photos. He was just as punctual on the wedding day and in getting the finished photos to us within the timeline he specified, and most importantly he was just a really fun and pleasant person to be around. He did an amazing job of putting us at ease and capturing the spirit of our day, both in posed and candid shots. As a result, we now have a great selection of photos that record truly memorable moments from our wedding!
