Sylvia Mary Photography, LLC

Sylvia is one of the most incredible photographers I have ever seen. She will (literally) climb a mountain to get the perfect shot. She is creative and takes all of the stress out of being photographed. I am not a natural in front of the camera and I was worried my wedding photos would reflect that but with Sylvia, you would never know! The way she operates and her professionalism is like she isn’t even there (because sometimes she is in a bush .. or laying on the ground below you and you kind of forget.. she really stops at nothing to get the perfect shots! ) On top of her dedication she is beyond talented.. her photographs and editing truly capture not just the moment but the feeling of the moment. We flew to Hawaii to get married and to have Sylvia photograph it because there is no one else in the world I would have trusted and I am so so glad I did because our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous and magical! Sylvia is the sweetest and she really loves love; you can feel it in her aura! She goes above and beyond to make sure your day is special, perfect and stress free. I recommend her to everyone on Oahu (and elsewhere as well!)

From the very first shoot we did with Sylvia, we knew we’d found our photographer. We’ve worked with her for a couples shoot, our engagement session, and most recently our wedding—and every single time, she’s completely nailed it. Different settings, different vibes, and somehow she made every shoot feel effortless and every photo look incredible. On our wedding day, she was a total pro—everywhere at once but never intrusive. She caught every big emotional moment and all the little ones we didn’t even realize were happening. The photos are beyond perfect. Our families and friends are obsessed with the photos too. Sylvia just has that magic mix of talent, heart, and genuine passion for what she does. We’re so grateful we found her and honestly can’t recommend her enough. If you’re thinking about working with her—do it. You’ll be so happy you did!

Sylvia creates an experience that captures the moments that matter most and the moments you do not want to forget. Her ability to create an environment that fosters presence and connection over strict timelines and staged photos is truly a gift unique to her. On the days that fly by too fast, Sylvia is a calm presence that you can trust to capture the moments you missed, the curated details that took months of planning, the pure joy, the laughter, and the happy tears. Sylvia listens to your hopes for your photo collection and goes above and beyond to deliver a breathtaking and timeless portfolio, ensuring you can relive and feel the magic of each moment. She balances professionalism with care and personally invests in capturing your day, offering an experience that is both deeply personal and beautifully authentic. There is no one I trust more than Sylvia to capture the moments that I hold closest to my heart. While I am currently obsessed with her photos, I am most looking forward to revisiting these moments with my family, children, and grandchildren for years to come. Knowing that I will feel the love that was abundant in those moments, appreciating that love will always be abundant when I revisit, Sylvia has given me a gift that will keep on giving.

Deciding on a photographer for my wedding day was the most important decision I knew I had to make - and once I found Sylvia and had my initial consultation with her, the decision was easy. It was like she was my friend who knew me for forever, that’s how much she cared and how excited she was for me and my hubby to get married! From then on it was always fun and at the same time always professional working with her. She helped me with my timeline to maximize every moment of the wedding day. Her second shooter ended up being her husband which was the greatest blessing. The two of them were the ultimate hype team! Sylvia’s pictures speak for themselves. She somehow captures the most raw and beautiful moments. I really wanted to capture the pureness of the day - the candid moments that help you relive the day again and again. She exceeded my expectations at every turn. I can’t wait to hire her again for future events!
