JJO Photo was by far our favorite vendor from our wedding day!
Cullen and I emailed a few photographers we found on the Knot, including JJO Photo. JJ was the first to respond to my emails, he addressed our needs, he was enthusiastic, engaging,... and easy to work with right away -- a great sign. Beyond the contract phase, JJO Photo didn't disappoint.
They took incredible pictures on our wedding day and captured so many great memories for us! JJ works with his wife, Alison, and they are a strong team. They have two different points of view, which provided a diverse assortment of photos. We felt lucky to have both of them, and if we had worked with a different photographer, we would've missed the two perspectives.
When taking photos, JJ and Alison made us feel comfortable. They took us to several great locations on the North Shore of Oahu, based on where we were staying. The locations were stunning, and made for great backdrops. They provided direction when shooting, resulting in some iconic photos.
Before the wedding, Alison partnered with me and my bridal squad. She took photos of us getting ready, helped with our hair and makeup, and even took pictures of my rings and shoes (I'm still not sure how she found time for it all!). In the meantime, JJ was photographing Cullen and his friends getting ready.
Alison and JJ were invaluable in helping coordinate the first look between Cullen and I, as well as kicking the ceremony off on-time. Looking at the photos now, it's obvious JJ and Alison knew exactly who and what to capture. Their professional experience was evident from the first email communication to receiving our photo album. The whole process was an ease and we truly couldn't have been happier with how our photos turned out.
JJ and Alison ended up being more than our photographers on our wedding day. They became our wedding coordinators, style consultants and friends. We look forward to the next time we're back in Hawaii to celebrate more special occasions that JJ and Alison can be a part of. Overall, we highly recommend working with JJO Photo and can vouch that you'll be in the best hands!
