Ohana Films

My husband and I are so thankful to Kent and Darlene and Ohana Films. When we were looking at videographers for our Maui wedding, the energy and fun of their portfolio leapt out at us. Our wedding planner also spoke extremely highly of Ohana Films, and we were so excited they were available for our date. Darlene and Kent are both so genuine and warm, and they truly became part of our wedding. The day-of can be overwhelming at times, but they made us feel comfortable in front of the cameras because they are just fun people to be around! Their deep experience and professionalism made everything easy for us—microphones and lighting and all the rest just seemed to happen, absolutely seamlessly. And of course, we could not be more in love with the end result. We knew it would be awesome, having seen their past work, but we were still absolutely blown away by the film they put together. They truly captured the emotions and fun of the entire day; from getting ready, through the ceremony, and into dancing the night away. The editing, the music, everything is perfect. We will treasure our video forever, and can’t recommend working with Ohana Films enough!

Darlene and Kent are an amazing duo! They traveled all the way to Cleveland, Ohio for our special day. They are like ninjas with their filming. And yet, many of our guests complimented how kind and fun they were! We had a guest who couldn't make it due to illness and they quickly sent over the ceremony footage so this family member could watch it. Truly special people they are! We cannot wait to see the rest of their work and have all the footage to cherish this special day forever.

I booked Darlene and Kent of Ohana Films for our June 30, 2018 wedding because they are the absolute best in the industry. In the Hawaiian Islands, their reputation precedes them as a sweet husband and wife team who have an artistic eye and incredible talent for videography and cinematography. Their website reads, “We approach every wedding video with a filmmaker's sensibility and treat each film as a work of art. Capturing genuine moments, both big and small, is very important to us. We are not going to ask you to fake any moments or perform in any way.” This comes across in their authentic documentary-style films, which are each unique, creative, and magical. After perusing their website it is easy to see why Ohana’s booking calendar often fills up a year in advance. Besides all this, Kent and Darlene are two of the most approachable, kind, and cool people I know. They kept in contact with me during my entire wedding-planning process and were so helpful with wedding advice (because, ya know, they have been to a few weddings ;-). I also loved to keep in touch about the small-kine animal rescue operation they have going on at their house (lol) and the adventures of Nana, Pumpkin, Daisy, Miso, and the one-eared Cementy. (Seriously, D&K are angels!) On our wedding day, as promised, all we had to do was relax and enjoy. Ohana quietly captured the entire day like a fly on the wall and what came out of it was a beautiful, candid, modern, epic, cinematic video production which you can see here: https://youtu.be/J4FFEtafOm8 When my husband and I watched the video for the first time we were blown away as it surpassed all of our expectations. We laughed, we cried (ok maybe just I did), and we relived the whole day in 8 minutes and 53 seconds of highlights. The video captured the very heart and soul of our wedding and allowed us to see moments we might have missed or otherwise forgotten. The music is *on point* and it is apparent a lot of time, thought, energy, and attention to detail was given to the film’s production. A value cannot be placed on this video, which we will be able to watch time and again, as well as share with family and friends. Mahalo nui loa, Darlene and Kent, for this beautiful gift we will forever treasure.

BEST VIDEOGRAPHERS EVER! Kent & Darlene are not only create the most impeccable wedding videos, but are the most wonderful couple to work with. Ohana Films was by far the BEST decision I made picking any of my vendors at my wedding. Trust me, coming from someone who is hard to please, I am happy to share that I was BEYOND PLEASED with Ohana Films. Kent & Darlene went ABOVE AND BEYOND what I had ever imagined and I couldn't be happier with my decision to use their extraordinary, unique, and creative videography skills for my wedding. They both are the most endearing, humble couple to work with and were extremely attentive to all details - even details I didn't notice they captured! The background music they chose for each ceremony was not randomly chosen, but was chosen because they were so attentive to what songs/genre of music my husband and I had casually mentioned in passing. Our wedding highlight video makes my heart melt every single time I watch it, it's one of the most beautiful video captures of my wedding events. IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THE 10 out of 5 STAR VIDEOGRAPHY SERVICE, OHANA FILMS IS IT! I can't wait to use them again for other special occasions!
