It's all about those candid moments
Aloha,
Recently everyone has been affected by the Corona and it has impacted many couples that had their wedding plans posponed/cancelled as well as many businesses in the wedding industry that have been put out of work during this time. I am hoping to offer up some relief during these times and I hope that it will work mutually for both of us.
1. If you had a photographer and had to cancel because of corona/conflicting dates than if available, I will be glad to help you with your wedding while matching their package with proof of cancellation.
2. If you are still looking for a photographer for 2021 than I will gladly help you and I am currently offering a $200 discount to every couple during these stressful times.
How I work, I strive to capture those tiny moments that pass by unnoticed. I create an atmosphere where every couple can just be themselves whether it's totally in love or just crazy...or both. I strive to create images where every couple can look back in years to come and relive it in total perfection.
mahalo,
Keoni Kitagawa

Keoni and his assistant, Mike, did a phenomenal job at our wedding. My husband has always *hated* having his picture taken, but Keoni was so fun and down-to-earth, that he ended up having a really great time with the photos. Keoni just has a great energy. You can tell he loves his work and has a vision in his head for each shot. We were blown away when we got our photos back after the wedding. They were everything we had hoped for and then some. Also—we had a instax photo guest book and ended up with extra film. Mike took the initiative of taking some photos with it at the reception, which was a sweet surprise when we looked through the guest book on the honeymoon. I feel like our day would have been vastly different with anyone else. Keoni was the perfect choice!
My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Keoni for our wedding in December. We initially got in contact with Keoni due to his familiarity with our venue, Cafe Julia. We were so impressed with his responsiveness, kindness, and extensive portfolio. Choosing to book with Keoni was one of the best decisions we made in the entire planning process. He made capturing our love so easy, especially for two people who aren’t exactly fans of having our pictures taken. When we needed direction, he was happy to provide it. When we had ideas or requests of our own, he made it happen. We both appreciated how calm and easy-going Keoni and his assistant were for the entire wedding. I was having a very difficult time not freaking out about everything that needed to be done, but he helped me focus on what mattered. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. 10/10 Would recommend.
This review is long overdue! If you are considering hiring Kpix to be your wedding photographer - look no further! We chose Kpix per our friend and videographer's recommendations - and we were so happy that we did! Keoni shot our engagement photos - which we absolutely loved! My husband hates taking photos and I was worried about how he would do taking professional photos for an hour long session. Keoni was so easy going and hilarious and he actually made the photo shoot fun for both of us! My husband looked so natural and happy and handsome in all of our engagement photos - I couldn't have asked for a better shoot!
On our wedding day, Keoni again got everyone so relaxed and the entire time that he shot photos of us and our bridal party, it was such a blast! Kpix successfully captured the essence and emotions of our best day ever - and I could not be more thankful for that. We will forever be able to relive every moment of our wedding day through these amazing photos! They did such an amazing job taking simple yet elegant photos, as well as artistic shots that all captured our day perfectly! He edited and provided us with our photos so quickly. And the presentation of our flash drive with our photos on it was absolutely beautiful!
We loved Keoni's great energy, his fun-loving attitude, and his creative genius, and so will you!
Any questions?
Keoni was an absolute joy to work with. He was very easygoing and made the process fun for everyone. We appreciated that both him and Sean made us feel very comfortable while taking pictures. The day went by smoothly without any worries. To our surprise, Keoni sent us the finished edits not even one week after the wedding! The pictures were perfect and we loved every single one of them. 100% would recommend KPix to all our friends and family! :)
My husband and I were FLOORED when we received our wedding pics from Keoni. They are so stunningly gorgeous, we don't know what to do with ourselves! Every single picture he took at our 9/9/21 wedding is priceless and we are beyond happy that we chose him to be our photographer! He is a very, very nice guy and so talented and creative. I would recommend him a thousand times over with no hesitation!
Keoni is great! The photos we have really help us relive the day whenever we look at them. Easy to work with and communicative and our pictures are gorgeous! Keoni totally has an eye for what we would want to share with friends and family as keepsakes and for the gram =P. We appreciate him for taking our requests for a long shot list
Keoni was super professional while also helping us calmly get through the potential stress of getting our perfect wedding photos. He was familiar with the venues and locations and had a great process that left us super confident that we would have great photos, and the results still far surpassed our expectations. Keoni has a real artist’s eye and both got all the shots we wanted and also captured so many other moments in a truly unique way that we’ll cherish forever.
Loved the photos taken by Kpix. We wanted our pictures to capture all the moments from our wedding, which is exactly what Keoni and his team did. Loved our first look photos too. We didn't want to look like we were posing for the pictures. He caught us in our usual silly selves. We're so glad that we chose Kpix!
We loved working with Keoni and his crew! He was so easy to get along with and he made it less awkward being in front of the camera for me. They honestly were like family at the wedding. So funny and awesome. I can’t even say enough about them! We love love love the pictures! We feel like he was able to capture who we were and what we wanted. We were speechless when we saw them. Can’t wait to so them off! Don’t hesitate to call Keoni!!
My husband and I came across Keoni's portfolio as one of the wedding photographer recommendations from our coordinator. Both my husband and I loved the style of his photos. We quickly booked Keoni for our Norhtshore beach wedding last October. The process of booking was all done online professionally and efficiently. On the day of our wedding, Keoni and his assistant showed up on time at our wedding. He was friendly and very easy to get along with. I felt very comfortable, and so did my husband, who can get very awkward taking photos, esp with strangers. It felt like Keoni and his assistant were just our friends taking photos during the wedding. It rained on our wedding day, Keoni and his assistant were out in the rain doing their jobs. They were very professional and fun to be around.
The photos turned out amazing. We are so in love with our wedding photos and got nothing but compliments from all our families and friends. They were truly beautiful and caught all the moments of our special day. We highly recommend Keoni and guarantee you will not regret choosing him as your wedding photographer.
He picked great locations, the end results were so beautiful. A wonderful, enthusiastic person to have on your wedding team.
Keoni is so easy and fun to work with. My husband and I really aren't great at having our photos taken, he especially hates it and feels awkward, I just don't think I am very photogenic. But our photos looked amazing and we didn't feel awkward at all, it was a lot of fun. There was even a slideshow with music. I am so happy we decided to go with Kpix. I would highly recommend Keoni to anyone. We received our online photos in less than a month, which is pretty good considering it was around the holidays.
I can't speak highly enough of Keoni and his team. We planned a destination wedding, and without ever meeting in person, Keoni made us feel confident that he understood what we wanted. He was easy to get in contact with and flexible with our one million questions. The photos were unbelievably gorgeous, and he truly captured everyone's personalities. We absolutely would recommend using KPix!
Loved Keoni and his assistant! They were both so friendly, professional, and it was just so much fun to have them around on the day of the wedding. He came a little earlier and scouted the venue for potential photoshoot locations, and although I haven't seen the photos from the wedding yet, I know they will be amazing!
I highly recommend them. They have incredibly affordable packages and you will not regret having him there on your big day!
I had a small chapel wedding with no bridal party and a small reception at a Japanese tea house. I booked Keoni alone, just a couple weeks prior, for four hours. He was efficient, affordable, friendly and professional. I was clear upfront that we wanted photos of PEOPLE. Facial expressions, moments, etc, and he sure delivered! He captured so many precious shots of our guests, parents, children, many beautiful memories I would never have gotten to see for myself.. and all the key parts of the ceremony were captured in real time without being obtrusive or distracting at all. The turn around was fast with great communication throughout, and delivered with an elegant personal touch. I highly recommend Keoni and don't doubt you will be any less than thrilled with the quality, deference to your requests, good taste, artful presentation and overall great experience of working with this fine gentleman.
Where shall I began?
Aloha All,
When I saw Keoni's photography his style and originally was what caught my eye! I love great quality photography with a contemporary look. I felt his photos depicted grace and style as well. He was easy to work with and his prices were very reasonable. He also was a great listener when I asked for certain requests and he went with the ideas that I had as well which we greatly appreciated.
See... I feel when you are looking at photography and especially a wedding...You really want to feel a story behind the moment and truly treasure it. When friends and family looked at my wedding photos I think they were moved by how Keoni used the natural lighting and scenery which truly captured the highlights during our wedding at the Hale Koa. I actually think now looking back upon that day and evening that the photos have been the best memories from our entire wedding! Trust me, you want to have great photos to remember the event because it goes by in a blink of an eye.
Keoni, may your path in photography keep on prevailing. May you keep on taking amazing photos that people will treasure & love. Thank you so much for doing our wedding photos. We were both honored and blessed. For others reading this...May you make the right choice in picking Keoni and you wont be sorry with your photos!
Aloha,
Chris and Sarah Larson

"Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything."
As we started to plan for our wedding, we didn't realize that choosing a photographer would have been a daunting task. Honolulu has so many good photographers - each with their own style and range.
Although, I like to think that our wedding was simple and easy, there were a few must haves for the photographer: 1) to capture us with beautiful pictures of the ceremony, stills and moments that would last forever. 2) to capture our guests in moments that we just could not see, as it is impossible for the bride and groom to be everywhere, and 3) to be creative.
Booking a photographer without actually meeting can be a little nerve-wracking, but Keoni responded immediately, provided us with a sound contract and set an appointment to meet. From his website, we were confident that needs #1 & 2 were met. Upon our first meeting with Keoni, we immediately knew that need #3 would be met and relaxed. You see, Keoni has a creative style which emulates how comfortable he is with himself. After that, it was so easy to talk to Keoni and give him an overview of what our wedding was going to be like. We only had one goal in mind for our wedding and that was to make it fun for everyone, including ourselves.
Wow.
When we received our photos - we were amazed - and still are. Keoni captured everything we wanted and more. We were very impressed by the quality, so much so, we were like, "oh we should've done this and with so and so..." because his photos were so great. Every photo has a meaning and feeling surrounding them, especially those he captured of our guests - so much warmth and laughter. The stills of us...fabulous.
We can't recommend Keoni and Kpix more, to all of you who are planning your wedding and looking for a great photographer, please stop here - look no further and book Kpix Hawaii Photography. You won't be disappointed.
Mahalo Keoni.
Keoni was awesome! He made us feel comfortable and listened to our ideas. He had some great poses and worked quickly with our family posed shots. I highly recommend him!
Keoni was a great photographer who made me and my groom feel comfortable. He caught great candid shots of us that most photographers would not be able to take.
Keoni is an amazing photographer! He truly captures your special day in such a unique way! He captured all aspects of our wedding and even listened to our ideas and implemented them. He was very professional and a pleasure to work with!

I was born on the beautiful island of Oahu but I am blessed to be a dual citizen of Switzerland and the USA. I currently try to travel 2x a year to somewhere different and so far my passion for photography has led me to all the corners of the earth from Indonesia, Israel, Europe, Japan, Canada and the United States. I have shot for various magazines, newspapers, and studios in which I picked up different skills which has given me a unique blend of style in photojournalism and posing. The coverage of your wedding day will be a blend of photojournalism, relaxed portraits and a fashion shoot.
