Photography by Hanakapi'ai

ere so much fun to be with. We were more than pleased with our images as well. We were most impressed with her knowledge of the island as she’s a local having grown up on the island. I was also amazed by her talent and eye for photography! The photos she took were incredible! If you need a photographer on that beautiful island, she’s the one!

ck throughout the wedding and captured beautiful moments throughout the wedding. She even stayed late to make sure she captured every moment. We were so happy with our choice, she cared so much about us and felt just like family. Would recommend her to everyone having a wedding in Kauai. Thank you for making our day so special!

ire process, listens to what you want (sent her a link to a Pinterest board with photo styles we were looking for aside from the "normal" ceremony photos --sunset, artsy, silhouettes, etc), and made us very comfortable with the process during our event so we looked natural. She had our sneak peek out to us quickly so we could share our day with family and friends, and our full album was ready before she had promised. She truly has a gift and that artistic eye. We are very happy we chose her as our wedding photographer. You will be more than pleased with her work!

pressures of the day and captured everything we wanted to express in our wedding photos and more! Our “Sneak Peak” was ready the very next day and we had all of our photos within 2 weeks – SO FAST! You will NOT be disappointed with her work, our photos are simply amazing and we couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

mazing. Our pictures came out so beautifully. We are so happy we picked her to be our wedding photographer. Thanks Hanakapi'ai!

work with; easy going and professional. Her creativity shows in her work and we are more than pleased with how our pictures turned out. We highly recommend Hanakapi’ai for any photography needs.

ient, funny, and an overall joy to work with!

time. Our private shots were done so beautifully with the ocean and near by ships in the background. She has an eye for the perfect picture and poses you for the perfect shot and all at the same time making it fun and making you get lost in your partners gaze and kiss without realizing she is snapping away. She gave me a sneak peak of photos right away and had the rest when we got back from our honeymoon. I would and do refer her for any wedding.

sure them forever. I recommend photography by Hanakapi'ai completely.

got married on a rainy day and she found ways to work with what we had, and she still managed to capture many beautiful shots! We are so lucky to have such breathtaking pictures to look back and remember our special day. I have, and will continue to recommend Hanakapi'ai to anyone looking for a wedding photographer on Kaua'i

ce we live in Michigan and needed help with locations, the timing of the sunset and ideas for what she thought we could do. When we arrived on location, we loved her even more! She is so professional, friendly and helpful. She came ready with a ton of ideas and really listened to what we wanted. She got our photos back to us incredibly fast and we are absolutely thrilled with them. We literally could not have asked for better. We put them on social media and our friends and family were amazed and shocked at all INCREDIBLE they turned out. I would 100% highly recommend her to ANYONE!

tures were absolutely gorgeous! She got us proofs and edited photos very quickly, which was just icing on the cake. I would recommend her to anyone needing a photographer on Kauai!

& aloha! If you are looking for a photographer for your special day call up Hanakapi'ai and will not be disappointed! Thank you Hana! With Love, The Vaughan's

nal pictures are amazing. Her ability to work with us and get us 'arranged' for the best shot was absolutely perfect. The final photos are the kind of pics you see in magazines and travel guides. Just perfect in every regard. Highly, highly recommend!!

trails and the beach.....AND she was several months pregnant!! Highly highly recommend.

ich was perfect. She captured the emotion of each moment and the beauty of Kauai in every photo. You won’t find a better wedding/event photographer anywhere!

we could ever imagine and then some! she was on time, organized, and her personality made us open up instantly. we posted some sneak peak photos on social media and were flooded by messages and calls on how stunning our pictures came out and how Hanakapiai was able to capture the love that was truly there on our special day! i could not be more amazed with what shes given us!!

ry rigid timeline and got the job done. She gave us 40 photos the next day, and we got our full album in 2 weeks! Our photos are breathtaking and our friends and family are still raving about them! She has given us beautiful memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. We couldn't recommend Hanakapi'ai any higher!

nd loved our ideas and incorporated them with all of her brilliant ones. Everyone who has seen our sneak peek photos has said it looks like a fairy tale. I don't think I could speak more highly of the experience and how she managed to capture the love my husband and I share. You cannot go wrong with Hanakapi'ai.

orite by far. The photographs she presented on her website were beautiful, artistic and thoughtful. Luckily, she had availability during our stay! Before we arrived, Hanakapi'ai was very responsive to emails and she offered multiple suggestions for location. Coordinating an exact time and place to meet was simple. Her husband Nathan accompanied her during the shoot to help and, upon meeting them, we were greeted with hugs. They were both so warm and friendly, which leaves you feeling more like a good friend than a client. The shoot itself was great. Both my fiancé and I felt totally comfortable and we never felt awkward. Hanakapi'ai made sure to take all of the pictures that we had asked for in advance and she had so many ideas for additional pictures. Here ideas were creative and gave great pictures. We were extremely happy with the finished product. She went out of her way to edit even the smallest details and she shows so much pride in her work. I would happily work with her again and would recommend her to any of my family and friends. I only wish she lived in San Diego, so that she could also photograph my wedding! Thank you Hanakapi'ai (and Nathan)! :-)
