Theel Productions

My fiance and I don't live in the same state, and when we decided that I was coming to Hawaii to visit we knew we needed to get engagement photos ASAP. After taking a look at Ari's work for about 3 seconds, I knew I wanted her to be in charge of our engagement photos. When reaching out she was super timely and friendly in her response. After booking, she made sure to check in and see that I had gotten to the island safely and to check about the timing for our photoshoot. She helped me figure out which outfits to wear and even though we were a little bit late she was still ready and waiting for us to go. She suggested we take some photos as if we were out on a date to get us more comfortable (and let us get some yummy ice cream as a snack). She had us laughing, giggling, dancing around, and kissing for the whole shoot. And she made two very awkward people feel comfortable in front of the camera. Even when people started crowding the beach we were on to watch sunset and check out the seals she helped us feel like it was just us on the beach. I didn't think we would get our photos so quickly either. They arrived in my inbox 4 days early and boy were they the best treat of the day! She was able to capture the bright colors that my fiance loves, the moodiness that I love, and still that light and airy feeling that we have when we are together. She caught all of those genuine and candid moments (even us getting swept up in a wave) and managed to make them all look natural and unstaged. I immediately sent them to my friends and family, posted them on social media, and ordered our save the dates so I could share my favorite ones. Ari is truly a wonderful and talented photographer, and if you don't already have one you should book her immediately!

Ari is beyond anything you would want in a photographer! From her technicality, creativity, and loving personality, she is such a great person to work with for an event/private shoot. Not only does she know how to work the camera, but she definitely knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of it! So much love for her and her work!

Ari is absolutely wonderful to work with! I hate being in front of the camera and she put me at ease so well, I was more than pleasantly surprised with the resulting photos! She really captures those intimate moments so well. She has an amazing eye and I love the advice she gives for styling and makeup, too. She's a gem and I can't thank her enough for all the photos I have from her!

Ari is so professional and easy to work with. I felt so confident walking into our shoot and she directs you, so you are comfortable right away! Her style of editing is just gorgeous, if you haven’t booked Theel Productions… what are you waiting for!?

First of all, Ari is so sweet and friendly! She makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera while providing direction to get the best shots. I also love the way her photos turn out. Edgy, moody, minimalistic, and overall beautiful. She definitely has an eye for beauty and knows how to capture it well. Thank you again Ari!

There just aren’t enough words to describe how amazing each and every photo that Ari snaps. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions. She also knows how to put the subject at ease while being energetic and engaging!! She has Such an artistic eye and  just a genuinely nice person.I Love to work with her again and again! Highly recommend

I have worked with many photographers on the island but I honestly can say that Ari is the best one I have ever worked with so far. She is super kind and very humble about her work. I love the energy she brings to every shoot we have together, she is literally my favorite photographer on the island.

Ari is so amazing and talented! She makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful and her pictures are to die for!! 10000 times would recommend!

Ari and Brody are a DREAM. TEAM. I wanted my wedding photos to catch the essence of the day. The little silly moments, the quiet simple memories, the emotion, and the details. They did all that and more. It was a windy, crazy day on the beach, and they worked with our guests and wedding party to put us all at ease and capture genuine moments. My husband's and my couples photos look like something out of a romance novel. They got wonderful shots of speeches, laughs, reactions, dancing, and we basically forgot they were there - in a good way. And they caught some perfect silly moments as well. If you're looking for a bunch of prom posed photos, this is definitely not the team for you. If you're looking for beautiful memories captured in a beautiful way... this is your team! The only advice is WORK WITH THEIR ADVICE - I never got around to creating my checklist of who/what I want photos of thinking with a guest list of 40 it wouldn't be that hard, and they did a remarkable job working through instinct, experience, and I'm pretty sure reading my mind. This part isn't advertised, but Ari got pictures back to me within a week of our wedding. I've had friends wait for up to a year!! Witchcraft. I can't wait for the video!! If you've seen their work (they edited their own wedding video - it's breathtaking) you know they're all about capturing the emotion of the moment. Love these guys (and shout out to Jordan as well! He climbed trees to get good shots and helped put us at ease with his great sense of humor!). They helped make our day special in the moment, and captured memories my friends, family, husband and I will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Theel Productions!!!

Theel Productions is amazing! I highly recommend! Ari was super helpful and easy going. My husband and I both had fun doing our wedding video with them, plus they threw in a few photos for us that were beautiful. The video was amazing! It perfectly captured all the emotion and happiness of our day, it was all so dramatic, like a trailer to a movie. I watched it over and over again, and still do! Thank you so much! <3

Wow! Way beyond our expectations! We hesitated as too whether to include video in our planning, but OMG! It is the best memory of the wedding day you can get. The Audio track from the ceremony along with the music they choose....it’s like a movie trailer for the rest of the bride and grooms life. DONT LEAVE VIDEO OUT! I am sooooo glad we found them. Theel Productions are professional and they know what their doing and love doing it and it shows.

Ari and Brodie are the best!! I was so happy to have them as my photographers on my big day! The are so fun and great at capturing the days moments! Also during my couples pictures after the ceremony I was getting a bit light headed and almost passed out, and They came prepared with water and snacks!!! I don't know if any other photographers do that but I thought that was awesome!! I will be recommending them to all my friends and family who wants great photos! They are the nicest and most professional people I have met and they are worth every penny!

Ari and Brody did a fantastic job on our wedding. From meeting us for makeup, the ceremony, and reception, these two were punctual and thoughtful. They did not impose on the flow of the wedding and captured all the important moments. I would highly recommend them for all your photography needs!

If there is anyone you can depend on, it is Ari. Organization, competence and knowing there is someone always available and ready to solve any situation that arises, Ari and Theel productions lead the field. She is such a pleasure to have around and so genuine in her caring to make everything come out beyond our expectations. We will look forward having Ari as our photographer for any future event. She is so comfortable to work with, that we think of her as part of the family. I would highly recommend her not only for her abilities that seem second nature, but also for her wedding packages and great prices

Ari was awesome. We instantly had a great connection and she took her time to explain everything which made the process super relaxed and enjoyable. She was effortless in her ability to make everyone feel at ease and capturing the genuine moments verses a forced pose or a forced smile. Even during an expected hiccup out of anyone's control, Ari kept me calm and managed the situation beautifully. She was an integral part one of the best days of my life. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone who not only cares about quality photos, but in addition a stress free process, fast photo delivery and extremely personable yet professional care.

We had a great experience with Ari and Brody! We were able to meet them in person before our engagement shoot and they were so relate-able and made us feel really comfortable with the large purchase we were making. Our photos turned out beautiful, we could not have asked for better results and FAST turn around time! We had all of our wedding photos within a week. I would 10 out of 10 recommend.
