My fiancé and I are in the military and ended up going on vacation to Oahu. We booked Kristen to take engagement photos. For two people who aren't really good at the whole romant...
ic picture thing, Kristen made us feel very comfortable and we ended up having a really great time. She was really good at getting us to just be ourselves! I would definitely recommend Kristen to anyone looking to take pictures on the island. She knew all sorts of spots to choose from and honestly was so great to work with!
I met two photographers before I met Kristen. The moment I met her, I knew she was the one I wanted to work with. I was constantly going back and forth over the amount of hours I...
wanted to have her, but she was extremely patience with me. When it came to the day of the wedding, she showed up half an hour earlier. She snapped picture after picture and even got my husband to smile for a posed picture!! (something I am unable to do). It was so easy working with her. She placed us in a few poses but nothing was forced (my husband and I are more of a candid couple). Several family members later commented on how nice Kristen was and "she sure did take a lot of photos."
Once we got the pictures, I was stunned and relieved. She captured what felt like every second of the entire day. All 2000+ pictures came out better than I could have imagined. She caught every detail I was unable to fully appreciate the day of the wedding. My biggest regret is not hiring a videographer, but having Kristen made reliving the moment just as special as a video. If I’m ever in need of a photographer again, I will know exactly who to call. I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends!
First of all, Kristen is amazing. She was very professional, but also very fun! It was such a relief to be photographed by someone that can make you feel at ease in such a stress...
ful (but exciting) time. Normally I am not very comfortable being photographed, but with Kristen I did not feel that way at all! She is very easy to work with, flexible with shot ideas, and is fantastic at capturing the moment. I am so grateful we were able to work with Kristen, I highly recommend her!
It's been 2 years since we had our photos taken by Kristen and I'm still in love with the photos!
She did an AMAZING job. She was so nice. It was great!
I have our photos all over ...
the house and I always remember that day and it makes me smile, thanks to Kristen!
Kristen, thank you so much! You probably have no idea how much we loved the photos and that day!
Thank you!! I hope that one day we can do it again!
I literally could not have asked for anything more for a wedding photographer. Wedding photos are so important and you only have one shot - and she is absolutely AMAZING!!!! Kriste...
n did an awesome job relaxing myself, the groom, and the wedding party (even as it was raining on our wedding day!) and suggested such fun poses. She was so professional and fun to talk to and gave an awesome artistic twist to our photos. She was SO QUICK to get our photos to us which was amazing - I had them in about a week. Overall, do not go anywhere else! Kristen is absolutely perfect!!!
Kristen was amazing!! She was so patient working with us and had so many great ideas for photos. The photos came quickly and we had a so many great photos to choose from. I would...
work with her again and again. I am so happy that Kristen was there to capture our special day!
Kristen Hook Photography is more than what you see on the website - fabulous photos - taken by a professional and committed photographer. She was able to put my fiance and I at eas...
e during our engagement shoot and made us at ease throughout the planning process and during the photo shoot - which made our time even more enjoyable. I have met photographers who only have a select few of their best work but Kristen was able to provide us with many great photos to choose from - from our short session. I would highly recommend Kristen Hook Photography to any bride looking for a photographer in Hawaii.
In general, wedding photos are very nice but in my experience, many photos are "forced" and/ or obligatory. Kristin of course got all the family shots that anyone would want but wh...
at sets her apart is her energy level and her true desire to capture the essence of the event. She was EVERYWHERE something was happening. From her arrival at about 1pm until the reception was closing up at about 8-9pm- she was non stop. I literally saw her running to position for the best shots when things were happening and the results were astonishing. I have dealt with many photographers in my many lines of work and have never come across anyone with her sincere desire to make the finished product a real representation of the event. We feel so fortunate that we found her. As many of you are probably doing right now, you are planning an event in a place (Hawaii) where you may have never been and most likely you don't have any point of reference for choosing a photographer. I assure you that if your choice is Kristin, you will be as pleased as we are.
My fiancé and I used Hook Photography for our engagement photo shoot while we were vacationing on Oahu. First, Kristen recommended the prettiest beach we have ever seen and we trav...
el a lot! She was on time, polite, helpful, and captured our engagement perfectly. We did a 2 hour shoot and I loved every picture, no exaggeration. She truly is so talented and was the best photographer to work with. Her use of natural light and incorporation of the Hawaii backdrop truly captured the true essence and beauty of Hawaii while still making us feel like we were the center of attention. She answered all my questions- before during and after our shoot. I would recommend her to anyone on any island of Hawaii. She is so worth it ! Couldn't imagine using anyone else after our experience with her. Thanks Kristen!!!!!!!
I was really impressed with our photographer Kristen. She was so thorough and also agreed to meet up with us ahead of time which always helps! She knew exactly what we wanted and t...
he pictures have turned out amazing!
We hired this photographer for our wedding and got back stunning photos! We got to keep all our images and can decide what we want to do with them. The shots were amazing, and sh...
e was so wonderful to work with. Definitely didn't even notice her at all during the ceremony!
Kristen did an AMAZING job on the photos for our wedding and engagement shoot. She is truly talented, and she has a gift for capturing the moment. She gives great direction, is al...
ways professional, sweet and accommodating! We have SO many terrific pics to choose from (over 2000!). We definitely plan on working with her to capture our future life events and milestones. Thanks Kristen!
Kristen was a great photographer and got us some beautiful shots. She even ended up staying at the reception longer than our contract called for and the final images were delivered...
faster than expected. We got initial web access to our images in less than 2 weeks, with the final Cd's arriving shortly after.
We had a destination wedding at Turtle Bay Resort in Oahu, Hawaii. Kristen was our photographer & she did an amazing job with our photos. She was so nice & sweet. She sent us our w...
edding photo gallery in about a week & I am in LOVE with all the pics!! I can't believe she took almost 2000 pictures & they were all amazing. Thank you so much Kristen for your fabulous work!! I would highly recommend her!!
We used Hook Photography for our wedding day, and were not disappointed. Upon meeting Kristen for the first time, we connected very quickly and my husband and I both felt that she ...
understood what we were looking for, and how to capture it. Such a specific thing is very hard to communicate, so of course we were nervous while awaiting the photos....but my goodness, she captured almost every single part of our day and thank goodness!
They aren't kidding when they say your wedding day goes by so fast and practically flashes before your eyes. I am so happy that Kristen was with us during every step, because I don't think I would have remembered it quite like she captured it.
She has an incredibly creative eye for details, and while we only had 30 people attending the wedding, they were a rambunctious crowd that she was able to confidently manage :)
I would absolutely recommend Kristen for your special day. You can't beat her price, your photos will be fantastic, and you will hopefully make a new friend like we did!
We're an adventurous couple who also care a great deal about attention to detail, style, and aesthetics. This made it somewhat challenging to find a photographer who was able to ke...
ep up with the way we chose to celebrate our wedding (in the water and on double hull canoes!). We are so happy we chose Kristen. Her adventurous spirit, incredible eye for beauty and detail, and ability to shoot in any environment allow for limitless creativity. She was a welcomed addition to the day of our wedding and created images that far exceeded our high expectations. Her photographs left us often speechless, and always inspired. We will cherish them forever.
We love all of our photos from the wedding, they turned out better than we could have imagined! She captured every moment beautifully and we would recommend her to anyone.
We are so lucky to have been referred to Kristen- she is absolutely amazing! She is genuine, sweet, punctual, dependable, creative and utterly gifted. We had a blast during our pho...
to shoot- Kristen listened to our ideas, and had plenty of her own to contribute. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed (and extremely good looking), and we were able to be spontaneous and catch moments that we hadn’t even imagined. Kristen was eager to explore, and make use of, all of the beautiful backdrops of our venue so we can remember the details of our special day forever. I would recommend her to anyone that is looking for an exceptional photographer, no matter what the venue or occasion is.
I LOVE my wedding photos. I am VERY picky and did a lot of research, Kristen's photos just popped out at me like a artist. She is so detailed and creative. I have done a lot of pho...
to shoots but by far Kristen is the most amazing photographer.
I wanted something different not the same old boring wedding photos. And I got exactly what I was looking for. When I came back home and posted my photos on Facebook everyone was so blown away one the photos. Everyone said it looked like a magazine cover. Kristen made my wedding day and every time I see my photos I smile knowing I got the best photographer in the world. THANK YOU KRISTEN

Kristen Hook, owner and photographer of Hook Photography has been very helpful through much of our wedding process. when we began communication she even offered to meet my Kama'ai...
na friend for approval. She did a great job with our pictures and even did some cool photography trickery in our photo shoot. She also worked very well with our videographer to get to get everything done.
Kristen did an amazing job photographing our wedding. She was a pleasure to work with and got our pictures back super fast. I highly recommend her for any wedding or special event....
Her work is first class.
Kristen photographed our wedding on the North Shore of Oahu in April 2012. I found her on the knot.com and contacted her after I reviewed just some of her amazing work. After we m...
et with her, we knew our search for our wedding photographer was over. She has the best energy and made us feel so comfortable and confident about working with her. She went above and beyond on our wedding day and even after it was all over. She was so easy to work with, and accommodating, my whole family and all of our friends raved about her. The real 5 star rating and reason I am writing this (which I NEVER write reviews) are our photos that we received back in only a couple of weeks!! I have friends that have waited MONTHS for their photos!! Her photos of us brought tears to our eyes and left us speechless. The only thing we wished we would have done differently was have her for longer on our wedding day. We had her for 5 hours and I would have paid to have her for the whole day if I could go back!! She is worth every penny!! And far under priced if you ask me. Her creativity and gifts shows in her work. My fiancé hates taking photos and she captured him and I in a way that I have never seen before. He couldn't be more thrilled that we were able to have her photograph our wedding. We were so pleased with her, we even scheduled a trash the dress session a week later!! We're not sure which photos we like more!! She has the most amazing camera equipment that she gets under water with. I have never seen photography like it!! Check out her web page to see photos from her trash the dress sessions. I can't say enough about her as a photographer, her work, and as a person to work with...she was truly a pleasure and a 5 star and more!!
