Toto+Meme Photography

I recently had the pleasure of working with Enzo + Daniella at my clients' Magnolia Plantation wedding in Charleston. They were a wonderful addition to the vendor team! They flew in from Hawaii to photograph this wedding, and arrived a few days early to be able to have time to connect with me, and scout out the getting ready space and venue for shooting locations, as they weren't familiar with the area. I loved the extra mile they went to be prepared for my couple's day! They were very relaxed throughout the day (which helped my couple stay calm and happy), very open to the day-of troubleshooting, and easy-going, fun, down to Earth, team players. I would definitely recommend them to future couples. My clients were extremely happy with their work in person and the photos they received afterwards.

Wow. Just wow. Cannot say enough good things about Daniella and Enzo. They are incredibly talented in seeing opportunities for pictures that you might not see. They also will go above and beyond to get the picture (lay on the ground, stand in water, climb trees, etc.). After doing an engagement photoshoot in Hawaii, they FLEW to Charleston, SC to take pictures at our wedding. They came to the venue the day before to scope it out and then also showed up to the wedding early. We couldn’t be happier with how the pictures turned out. Do not hesitate to book them. They are super personable, speak like 4 languages, and very nice and easy to work with. You will get two photographers who will do everything in their power to make your pictures great and will advise you as if they were planning their own wedding.

Don’t waste anymore time looking for your photographer, these guys are it! We’ve never had professional photos done before and they were amazing! Our engagement shoot was so fun and exactly us. We left the location up to them and we were not disappointed. They prehiked the area before hand and had a planned location for each segment, no wandering around and guessing. They also helped us choose the best outfits for the scenery we were in. They made us so comfortable helping with poses and placement and kept it light and fun. We didn’t feel awkward or over posed at all. It also helped that they hyped us up the entire shoot 😅. Having two shooters was so awesome, they captured literally every angle. They are both so sweet and genuine and made us so comfortable and relaxed. We felt like we’ve known them for ages and were being photographed by friends instead of some awkward strangers. We just received our sneak peak and can’t wait to see the rest! They made us look so good! 10/10 highly recommend!

Enzo and Daniella from Toto and Meme photography are some of the nicest people we’ve met in Hawaii. From the Zoom call to set everything up to the goodbyes at the engagement photo session, they were extremely friendly, dedicated, and genuine. It all started with a Zoom call (weren’t able to meet in person due to COVID), where Daniella got to know us, asked us what kind of scenery we wanted and what kinds of things we were comfortable doing (dancing, kissing, etc). We went on to schedule a session at the Ho’omaluhia botanical gardens. They drove there the day before and scoped out all the most scenic places for pictures and even hiked to an area where cars are not allowed to find a spot similar to the Instagram-famous shot on the road (now ruined by cones and signs that say “photography not allowed here”). The following day we met up around 2pm. They immediately offered to do things like hold my fiancée’s heels and water bottle in their bags. They explained that they always carry two cameras in case one gets damaged and they can’t afford to miss a shot which made us realize how heavy their bags must have been (especially with shoes and water in there). Still, they insisted on carrying our things so we could be at ease. Throughout the session, they constantly complimented us on our outfits and our ability to pose (which I’m sure they tell everyone but it certainly helped us feel more comfortable). They were really good at directing us to pose in a way that made it feel natural - it felt like they weren’t even there. They had little tips, tricks, and jokes to help us understand how to get the best poses. They were also very efficient and always innately knew exactly what pose to try next. They were so in sync. They constantly made it evident that they were invested in our pictures coming out great as they would spontaneously say “ooo that’s a really pretty picture do that thing again” even as we were just hiking to the next spot. All the while they’re laying down on the ground and reaching all sorts of discomfort just to get the best shot for us. Did I mention that they both speak English, Spanish, and Japanese? The pictures and poses they took were exactly what my fiancé and I had been looking for since we got to Hawaii but couldn’t get with anyone else. They provide clear direction, charisma, and ingenuity to their trade and have clearly perfected it. They have thought about all the little things they could do to make couples feel most comfortable and at ease. We left the session feeling like we made two new friends. They absolutely made our year. Especially during such sad times in the world, Daniella and Enzo went above and beyond to do something nice for two strangers - a testament to their character. We hope they will consider letting us fly them to Charleston, SC to do our wedding.
