VIVIDfotos

majority of the budget go toward VIVIDfotos because they are worth EVERY. SINGLE. PENNY. When we first started to think of who to pick as our wedding vendors, I knew photography/videography had to be our top priority. I have a handful of family members that were both professional and amateur photographers, but I did not want any of my family members to work on our wedding day so that they can just enjoy themselves. This meant that we couldn’t just use ANY photographer for our wedding. I needed to feel confident that who we use would not only just have the ability to do what my family photographers can do, but exceed that. So, that’s when I looked to social media to check out which companies had a great portfolio online. Of course, there are many talented and great photographers almost everywhere you look, but I felt like many of the shots looked very similar to what my family members are able to do. However, VIVIDfotos had THE eye/vision that I haven’t seen before. So, I went to one of our local bridal shows and just knew I had to meet them to confirm that they are still the company I would want to use for our wedding. That’s when I met Crysta and Bal. They were both so nice, welcoming, and approachable. So, of course, I just wanted to scream “Shut up and take my money!” We weren’t planning on doing an engagement shoot because we wanted to save up money for other things in the wedding, but we were one of the lucky ones to win something from them. So, we did the engagement shoot, and OMG, every couple needs to do a shoot because that really helped with having our wedding pictures go much more smoothly. My husband and I can be very awkward with taking pictures, but Mel and Crysta made it comfortable for us. We loved all of Mel and Crysta’s ideas and recommendations for our shoot especially because they nailed all the pictures they captured that day. Bal is the mastermind behind their signature edits, so this is where VIVIDfotos blows all the other photographers out of the water. Mel + Crysta have the eye for the shoot, and Bal finishes the photos by taking it to another level. In the year leading up to our wedding, VIVIDfotos sent us very helpful tips/ideas on how to make wedding planning go smoothly. All the materials (stationary, boxes/packaging, etc) they use have really nice texture and quality to them. This is where it’s obvious that Mel was in the hospitality industry before. Whenever my husband and I met with Mel and Crysta, they put us at ease with wedding planning. They will go with your ideas and have helpful tips on how you can enhance them. Mel and Crysta know how to tactfully give reminders on deadlines to get everything ready in time for the wedding. On our wedding day, we had Mel, Crysta, and a couple other of their teammates help us capture what we were able to see and what we weren’t able to see via photography/videography/photobooth. I don’t know what else to say other than they nailed it! There were multiple last-minute changes on our wedding day due to less than ideal weather, but VIVIDfotos effortlessly adjusted to make it look like everything was meant to be that way. After the wedding day, they finished our pictures and video much faster than we anticipated. We recommend them to EVERYONE over and over again.

checklist of items to consider as we prepare for our big day, which was extremely helpful. They also sent us cute cards leading up to the big day to remind us to breathe, enjoy ourselves, and remember why we were getting married. As we got closer to the big day, we got to meet with Crysta and Melissa, and go over our wedding program, along with tips and things to consider to prepare for the photoshoot. On the day of, they came in full force, they worked with our day-of coordinators. They guided each shot, and even asked if we had any other photo requests. They took so many shots: me with my bridesmaids, my husband with his groomsmen, our first look, and photos prior to the ceremony. It was pretty muggy and I did sweat, but the captured photos they took were AMAZING and they kept on time! They captured so many things I forgot or was unaware that happened during the reception. About two weeks later, we received our photos, and met with Melissa again. I was only expecting digital files, but again with the details we received an awesome slideshow, printed shots of the photos in the slideshow, and our digital files. They were amazing to work with and they made this process so easy and wonderful. I am a simple person and didn't know what to do, but their guidance from beginning to end made this journey that much more enjoyable and memorable. I would definitely recommend them for documenting your wedding!

re our big day. We were lucky enough to do an engagement photoshoot with Melissa and she was such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I are pretty camera shy and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the lens and got us to really loosen up. Our engagement photoshoot not only gave us such natural photos we will cherish forever, but also provided us with practice before the big day! Melissa, Crysta, and Balbino were all in attendance on the big day. Melissa and Crysta perfectly captured our getting ready photos with our wedding party. Our venues were both indoors and they captured such great pictures during the ceremony and reception with amazing lighting. We couldn't be happier with the final product. In addition to the photos being beautiful, we received them so quickly. We were expecting a longer wait since we hired them for 12 hours, but we received over 900 edited images in such a timely manner. We love VIVIDfotos, they were such a joy to have at our wedding!

ideo was so perfect and our guests loved it! They captured so many beautiful photos, we love them all. From beginning to end, Melissa and the entire team were so helpful in working out the details for capturing all the memorable moments of our wedding. All the personal touches and correspondence for the months leading up to our wedding made it a wonderful experience. We are so excited to use them again (not for another wedding, of course!lol) but for any future baby & family portraits as well.

d with the whole experience from our engagement photos, love story, and wedding day. They totally nailed everything. They feel like friends and you can tell they truly love what they do. They are worth every penny and we will cherish our photos and video for years to come. Thank you VividFotos team for your amazing work! -Kristie and Dan Kim

for! Also, their prices were totally reasonable! She was so much fun to work with and they got all the photos that we wanted! Totally worth every penny that we spent! Definitely recommend!

ell in love with the style of their photos and how they can do “signature edits”, by making the photos look like something out of a dream by doing amazing editing work in the chosen location. When we first met with the vividfotos team, they were very welcoming and we immediately felt comfortable telling them our vision and our story. They also helped us find the perfect locations for our engagement photos which was so much fun. I highly recommend doing engagement photos with them because it will help the photographers get to know you better and also the type of shots your looking for. When it came to the big day, we had our ceremony in the morning and our reception in the evening at a separate location. Vividfotos was there with us from sunrise to sunset, making sure that we got all the shots we wanted and also making the day go as smooth as can be! We couldn’t have asked for a better team! Definitely one of the best wedding photographers in Hawaii!

our needs was always fun, and their experience and expertise were a nice bonus as we really didn't know what to expect from the wedding experience or photography in general. They have a great grasp of areas in the state to do engagement and other photos, which helped us decide on our engagement photo location. During that time and at the wedding, they did a fantastic job of making us feel comfortable. We even had a bit of a mishap before our ceremony could start, and they suggested filling up the time by taking photos with waiting guests and family members, breaking the ice and keeping folks occupied. We rented a photo booth manned by their photographer Crysta, who brought more great energy and our guests had lots of fun with that. They melded into the shadows during the ceremony and reception but managed to get an astounding amount of great shots of great moments. I'm sure you get the point; VIVIDfotos is a wonderful team of high-energy, positive folks that are going to take really, really good care of you while taking and editing absolutely beautiful pictures. We didn't spring for cinematography, but in the end, we landed close to 800 photos, physical print-outs and in a USB, and a sexy-looking album that we get to customize. Their use of digital resources makes the entire process seamless and easy. Work with them, you'll love it.

ing us in our wedding was so easy when wedding plans get a little hectic. They truly are so organized from preparation worksheets aiding in the itinerary planning to the final day where the bride has no worries because all the pictures that were wanted were taken and the ease of it all. I have a very rambunctious wedding party and they rallied the group very easily.

m immediatly after we saw the finished product. WOW!!! They have great packages, which we got, and opportunities for savings!! Skip forward to the wedding day: Everything was perfect!!! They arrived at the venue bright eyed, bushy tailed, and ready to take amazing photos!!! We were comfortable with them from previous interactions, so taking photos weren't so out of the norm this go around. They got great shots!! Melissa and Crysta are so friendly, easy going, professional, and genuinely care about the look you are going for. Skip to the wedding album, AMAZING!!! They were patient while we picked out our albums pictures, over the course of 3 weeks, from the east coast, and via email. They respond fast!! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to capture the big day because your day will go by in a blur!!! Thank you Vividfotos and Melissa and Crysta!!!! 😁😎😁😎😁😎 Services they provide are photography, videography, albums, large prints, thumb drive of pictures, and lots more!! Book them!!

all from them the next day stating I HAD WON A FREE ENGAGEMENT SESSION!!! I was so happy because their booth at the expo was so bright, happy, and the people manning the booth were so chipper! My fiance lived in Oregon and I, in Hawaii. So we had a hard time being able to see each other. They worked with us to get the shoot done during a short window of opportunity. Melissa and Crysta are so passionate about the photos they take and it shows. My fiance and I were nervous about being photographed. Think, "Is this weird?", " should we cancel?", " I wonder how were are going to do it?" Rest assured, you don't need to worry about anything with VIVIDFOTOS! They have everything under control. We were so happy with the photos taken, the great customer service, and having their expert opinion, in all aspects of the photo shoot! Many mahalos to the Vividfotos team and our lovely ladies Melissa and Crysta! 🌺🌴🌺🌴🌺🌴🌺🌴🌺🌴🌺🌴🌺🌴🌺🌴

rowed our choices down to two and met with both. During the consultation with Vividfotos we were able to look over sample photo albums (which were amazing) as well as the signature edit photos, displayed on the walls (also amazing and stunning). Once we completed the consultation with Mel we knew at that Vividfotos was definitely the one we were going to choose. Mel was so friendly and professional, that the choice was easy. They have a variety of packages and we selected the package that included a engagement photo session, engagement photo album, wedding day photo session, wedding album, along with 10 signature edits. Mel and Crysta were amazing to work with during the engagement and wedding photos, as it’s not easy to “pose” for a variety of photos since we are definitely not models and are not used to being in front of a camera. However, working with Mel and Crysta they guide you throughout the entire process and make you feel so comfortable. Mel also had great suggestions as to places to take our photos so we could have a variety of backgrounds (engagement photos: sunset at the beach, wedding photos: Byodo In temple/Tantalas and reception photos: at the Prince). The photos came out amazing and we are so happy with all our albums and our signature edits. We can’t wait to hang them in our house. We couldn’t have chosen a better photography company to work with like Vividfotos.

d giving tips and tricks. They made us feel comfortable and posed us in creative ways. The photos came out better than we could have ever hoped for! We highly recommend Vivid Fotos to capture your wedding

aking us feel comfortable. She also assisted me with the wedding day timeline and any other details that I needed help with. She is professional and knows what she is doing. I really appreciate her time and work.

I contacted them via their site, Melissa has been excellent in responding to emails. I arranged to meet with Melissa and Crysta for a complimentary initial meeting, we talked about their wedding packages, edits, details, etc. and went over other options. They showed me some photos and a sample wedding guestbook with photos from another couple’s engagement shoot. I knew at that moment, we needed to hire them! We added on an engagement shoot as well, giving us an opportunity to become comfortable with being photographed (and to learn various lovey-dovey poses). We scheduled our engagement shoot about 6 months prior to our wedding, which also happens to be prime holiday season! Melissa and Balbino arrived just before us and texted us that they were there. Melissa took care of the permit while we chatted with Balbino. Both were so nice and made us feel super comfortable. They taught us typical, fun playful, and lovey-dovey poses, giving us positive reinforcements throughout the entire time! It took about 3 weeks (again, during prime holiday season) to get our all our “lightly edited” photos back. Melissa was so accommodating to our busy schedule since my now husband, and I were both unable to make any of the dates and times she proposed. She offered to meet us in town, brought us headsets and played a short video of our shoot. Every photo was beautiful, even the ones I thought weren’t going to look amazing somehow did! We also ended up ordering a “Well Wishes” guestbook for our wedding with photos from our engagement shoot. Crysta was so helpful when going back and forth making changes to photos, wording, fonts, etc. The site they use is extremely user friendly and will allow you to make suggestions, comments and finalize the entire book prior to it being ordered. During our wedding day, they arrived right on time and went to work capturing all my bridal details and the two of us getting ready. We did a father/daughter first look, a bride/groom first look, portraits of bride and groom and (tons of) family photos. Melissa and Crysta were so accommodating and patient with our big group photos and were so generous with their time. About a week after our wedding, we were sent a preview of about 15 photos, a nice surprise to keep the wedding bliss going. Then about a month later, Mel contacted us to get together. She presented us with another short video and a thumb drive with all of our 600 something edited files and a stack of 4x6 photos in a beautiful box. From the moment we hired them, I just knew they were the right fit for us! Throughout the time we’ve known them, we received encouraging and thoughtful cards and emails, as well as holiday greetings and a big thank you card just after our wedding day. Everything they do is beautifully presented and the overall experience is absolutely amazing! We will treasure this experience and these photos, FOREVER!

can tell that they really calculate their shots, but with efficiency. We booked them two years ago when we started planning because we just had a good feeling about them. And we were right. Mel & Bal were so responsive to our emails (remember, we’ve been back and forth for about 2 years!) and nothing got lost in communication. They even sent us a “Welcome Packet” that had tips on what to expect on the wedding day and even a suggested list of group photos to take! Throughout the whole planning process, they were so professional, responsive, thoughtful, and overall great. Fast-forward to our wedding day, Mel and Crysta were so professional & friendly. I’m not good in front of the camera, but they coached me through everything, every single time. They were so organized, systematic, and efficient with their photography. Talking to them didn’t feel like we were talking to vendors or “people we booked.” They talked to us like we were friends for a long time, and that’s honestly how it should be when it comes to photography or videography. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Although we did not book them for videography, they do a stellar job with that as well. We cannot thank VIVIDFotos enough for spectacularly capturing all the moments of our special day!

ry schedule conscientious. We were most impressed by their attentiveness to how we felt. As a couple who rarely takes pictures (much less selfies), I was worried about being stressed and having our pictures come out awkward. But from great pose suggestions to a solid plan for taking pictures all around the venue without being rushed, we were very comfortable and are extremely glad we went with VIVIDfotos. They’re awesome!

my vendors to see how things were going, except for Melissa. She sent us things regularly through mail and email regarding our wedding, as well as just checked in to see how we were doing and make us feel special. On top of all that they take amazing photos. Thank you Vivid!!

) on IGTV and daily story on Instagram. Their personality and creativity truly shined through and thats when we knew they were the photographers for us. The day of the event they were professional, patient, and did whatever it took to get the perfect shot. Within hours they sent us a sneak-peek of our special day. They truly captured our happiness and love!

place a time to for our shoot but unfortunately there was SO much traffic that we had to pick another location. She was sweet enough to reschedule our shoot for another day to make sure we were truly happy with our photos. Melissa was always an effective communicator and made the whole process smooth! We were on the fence about adding on videography because of the additional cost but Melissa never pressured us or made us feel uncomfortable. We decided to go for it and I must say, I do not regret it one bit!! I've watched the videos over and over haha. A couple of other awesome things from VIVIDfotos: Melissa makes delicious cookies for our meetings and our USB and photos come BEAUTIFULLY wrapped and very professional. Thanks Melissa and Bal for the beautiful wedding photos and videos !

isingly we won a free engagement session at the bridal expo with VividFotos. We met Balbino at the expo but his wife Melissa was our photographer for the engagement shoot. We met Melissa for the first time and she was such a sweetheart from start to finish. We fell in love with VividFotos when our proofs came in. The way she captured us in the photo was unbelievable. Not only capturing us as a couple but our surroundings and knowing the right angle to position not only the camera but themselves. Melissa wasn’t afraid to lay on her belly down on the grass which I thought was a little odd but I can see why she did that. We loved it so we decided to book them for our wedding!! VividFotos was so patient with all of us. We had a HUGE bridal party. Talk about 20 total. But they did it! They captured every priceless moment that happened on our special day. My favorite are those candid shots they took. They’re communication was excellent. Anytime i had a question, they responded right away. They truly are the definition of the BEST PHOTOGRAPHERS on the island. Definitely recommend VividFotos. You won’t regret it.

budget...its the biggest day of our lives and so much effort goes into it and the big day arrives and goes by so fast! I can't stress how important it is first of all to book a photo and video team for your special day- trust me you won't regret it...and VIVIDfotos is an exceptional choice! My husband and I are so grateful we chose them to capture our special day! Photo and video is one of the more pricier vendors aside from your food/reception venue but they are so reasonably price especially for the amazing work they do! For us it was a priority to have our day captured with a team that truly understands weddings and love stories and who really care for couples and wants to be apart of their happiness to exude all that emotion. The VIVIDfotos team did exactly that! They're our most involved and caring vendor- always willing to answer ?s beyond photo/video and to help with anything! The team is amazing from the start: Melissa's so prompt with replies from my first inquiry and throughout, our 1st meeting with Bal and Mel went smoothly- they showed us their amazing work and told us about their company answering our questions but never making us feel pressured into committing to them- they're such talented owners, photographers and an awesome husband and wife team! I believe everything happens for a reason and when my first option for photo/video didn't end up working out I was so stressed and devastated but it was a blessing since it led me to finding VIVIDfotos and we were much more comfortable with them-they're easy going and a better fit for us! The rest of the team is just as talented: Derek and Crysta are awesome in capturing the video aspect of our day and Ryan's creative eye in editing all the footage to display our love story into our same day edit and wedding videos are PRICELESS! I still cry with joy each time I watch my videos or look at my pictures...my loved ones all agree that they turned out spectacular! It's due to the VIVIDfotos team: they are truly wonderful people who are amazing at their craft and willing to help in any way! They even helped make our wedding slideshow after we had scanned all our photos-awesome job Crysta: we loved it! What I believe sets them apart is their pricing, passion, knowledge and unbelievable work! Their attention to detail and presentation is top notched! We went to pick up our wedding pics and some were shown to us in a slideshow they created (I love the songs they chose) I was in awe, teared up and totally speechless! Everything was packaged so sleek and nice in a black box with our USB drive and printed pictures wrapped up in a black silk ribbon! Again their attention to detail is amazing, like in our same day edit: our ring shot was done in a bible book- WE LOVED IT! We had a catholic ceremony- it's an important part of my life and for them to incorporate their creativity and come up with that bible ring shot- it meant so much to me! They truly get to know you as a couple: meeting with you several times so they can best portray your story in their art and it shows- we're so happy with how our wedding videos, pictures, same day edit, and signature edit came out so personalized...true BRILLIANCE! They also gave us a handwritten card to get some SB coffee on them to help relieve stress! Truly the best!

d not be an area that you compromise based on price. That being said, VIVIDfotos price was reasonable and they offer a bunch of packages at wedding expos, etc. to save you a bit of money. Melissa, Bambino and their entire VIVIDfotos crew were so easy to work with, professional, and responsive; these are all qualities that you want in your wedding day photographer and videographer if you want these photos and videos to capture your special day...forever. Your wedding day will be a blur--the day flies by so quickly for all of the planning time you've invested. There are moments and items that you've spent a lot of time and energy on that you simply will not see because everything is such a blur, but VIVIDfotos will be there to capture every moment, element and emotion. Their turnaround time is very reasonable, quality is unparalled and editing skills are dramatic, emotional, and captivating. I could not imagine any other photographer or videographer capturing our wedding day--we are so thankful to have worked with such an amazing team!

g that we would never be able to afford... BUT their prices were very comparable to other photographers... and we were so happy with that cause their pictures were jaw dropping! They were so friendly, organized, and professional. We immediately felt comfortable with them. Our engagement photos were magical and so we booked them for our actual wedding event. Everything they do... down to the way they package our USB drive and write cute notes (they even sent us a Starbucks gift card a few months before our wedding)... is absolutely elegant and beautiful. I’m in love with our wedding day pictures! They really made sure to include pictures/poses that we wanted. Their signature edits are completely stunning! You truly get more than your money’s worth! I would highly recommend them and definitely plan on using them in the future for any major photo shoots we have.

t. I really wanted to do something different so I suggested an underwater shoot. And guess what.... they made that happen! and to prove they are the best, they got an amazing shot while getting stung by jellyfish (this was my choice btw. They asked if we wanted to stop but we all wanted to get that underwater shot). Mel and Bal are so talented and you can tell they love what they do. For our wedding we hired them as our videographer (yes they do cinematography as well) and our wedding videos came out everything I had hoped they would be! And talk about efficiency. They got our whole video done one month after the wedding! They are a great company and I highly recommend them to everyone! (P.S. I still use their services for family photos and hopefully in the future baby gender reveal).

got our photos back a week after the wedding.

at day. She made us feel very comfortable talked us through everything. My wife and I felt her personality was very fun and bubbly, which lightened the pressure of the photoshoot. Following the photoshoot, we were impressed by the quick turnaround for the photos. The photos turned out great and we loved that the how the colors were so vivid (their name is fitting). At that point, we booked VividFotos for our wedding day. Closer to the wedding date, we booked a second photoshoot following my wife’s make up trial. This time around, Bal was the primary shooter. He was very easy to work with and we instantly felt that same comfort level as with Melissa. The photos turned out just as great as the first photoshoot with the same quick turnaround. On our wedding day, we had VividFotos booked for a full day package. Melissa and Bal were the main shooters with Crysta present for support. The three of them were so much fun and easy to work with. They created such a fun environment. Since we had two engagement sessions with them prior to the wedding we were comfortable with their work style and it made us feel much more natural in front of the camera. Consistently, the turnaround time for our photos were very fast and the photos were great. They captured every moment and delivered epic signature edits. Since that day was such a blur, those photos have helped us to relive it. We cannot thank everyone from VividFotos enough for all that they did. They are great at what they do and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for photographer.

to get along with and they knew exactly how to capture our engagement shoot and wedding day to make it one to remember forever! Mel has been so awesome in making sure we were more than catered to. Bal made sure he captured the look we wanted. Derrick made sure the videos were awesome. Ryan made sure our love story captured “us”. And Crysta has been so accommodating to what “look” we were looking for. Thank you VividFotos for being the best ever!!!

ir photography is beyond beautiful and more than just the typical "wedding" posed photos. Everyone's mouth drops when we show them our photos! The team is very personable and nice. I would recommend them to everyone 150%! LOVE VIVID!

m to be our wedding photographers. I really wanted to have videography because I wanted to capture all the special moments. I went back and forth on videography, however, Melissa was so sweet and worked with my budget. We got our wedding photos and videos just last week, a month after our wedding, and I absolutely love everything! Melissa, Balbino, and their awesome team did such a wonderful job capturing our special day! VIVIDFOTOS is the best!

r and she captured some great moments. She was quick to respond to emails and calls and we received our photos 2.5 weeks after our wedding. Thank you!

thing that we will have to look back on. From the first time my husband and I met Vivid Fotos, we instantly knew that we made the right decisions. They were so friendly and easy going. Our first photo shoot (engagement pictures) went well. They really know how to make you feel comfortable and trust me we were super awkward. Our photos turned out great and I couldn't wait for them to capture our wedding day! The prices are very reasonable and they do awesome work!! Very easy communication which is super important during the hectic time of planning a wedding! :)

edding is so stressful, but they took the time to ask how our planning was coming along and answered any questions we had even if they were not related to photography. We are extremely happy with how our engagement photos and wedding photos came out as well as our photo albums. And they delivered them FAST! I would definitely recommend VIVIDfotos to everyone!

ing for artistic, unique, and memorable photos captured on your wedding day, hands down, choose VIVIDfotos. I am so pleased with the photos I received--photos I can look back on for years to come, as well as hang in my home (because they are just AWESOME shots). Aside from the insane talent they provide, VIVIDfotos is so responsive and thoughtful. Mel responds to emails within a day and provides tons of information to help stressed brides rest assured that their special day will be perfect. I could not imagine choosing another photographer to be a part of/photograph some of the most important memories of my life!

quick turnaround time!

by early next week... but Melissa emailed me that night! This is how our relationship has been since. They are always quick to respond and are on top of it. It's really important to feel comfortable with your photographers since they are basically glued to you the entire wedding day. For most of us, we are not used to having a camera in our face for more than a few minutes of day, nonetheless for 8+ hours. We opted for the package that included 8 hours and videography with another local company (10th Letter Media), recommended by VividFotos. Our package included an Engagement session that we had about 8 months before our wedding. Balbino was laying and sometimes crawling on the sand to get those magnificent shots. We used the amazing pictures for our Save the Date Cards. Even the in between time leading up to the wedding, Melissa was in contact with us checking in on us. The week before the wedding, they event sent us a HANDWRITTEN CARD WITH A STARBUCKS GIFTCARD! They told us to go have a cup of coffee on them - without talking/stressing about the wedding. How thoughtful! Even though our package included 8 hours, Melissa and her team spent near 10 hours I would say on our wedding. All the pictures were amazing, and even made the shots with rain look spectacular. When the pictures were ready, Melissa made an amazing slideshow of the pictures. She also developed about 150 of the pictures and put them in this cute box with their fancy USB drive (with all the pictures). VividFotos not only takes great pictures, but their presentation is great! They go all out on the packing - from start to finish - great experience. Even with all my comments and edits to our wedding album - Melissa was quick to respond and make the changes. I just picked up the album last weekend and it is perfect! We got our wedding pictures proofs in less than 2 months and the finished album in about 3.5 months from the wedding. Talk about efficient! I would recommend VividFotos to anyone looking for a wedding photographer - or even for other photo sessions. I wish Melissa and Balbino the best in all their future endeavors. *Since we hired them, they have expanded to have their own videography and photobooth business. Book them for all!

other details. They had great recommendations and suggestions and on the day of it all came together. They captured beautiful moments when we were getting ready, during the ceremony, and during the reception. They did a great job capturing the lighting and the beauty of our venue. They kept everything really nice and relaxed and were really great at guiding us through all of the shots and making recommendations when needed. We got our finished photos and USB and we are absolutely thrilled with the results. We used the "Perfect Pair" package with them and the videographer 10th Letter Media, so if you are looking for a videographer as well, they are a great team.

ter seeing their work, my wife set out to hire them for our wedding and we were not disappointed. Their services and the quality of services and products exceeded all of our expectations. From the packaging of the engagement and wedding photos, to a card that they sent to us two weeks before the wedding along with a Starbucks giftcard and a note reminding us to "take some time to unwind before the wedding," I can honestly say, they were one of the best decision we made for our day. Bottom line, if you want the best wedding photographers in the state, nay, the nation; scratch that, the world, contact Mel and Bal or just checkout their instagram/facebook account.

e extremely professional and nice to work with. We don't live in Hawaii so this was a destination wedding for us. Planning a destination wedding feels a little like throwing darts—you don't really have the ability to easily see places and meet people. Nonetheless VIVIDfotos gave us, from the very beginning, 100% confidence that we made the right choice. They were very helpful in answering all of our questions, giving us advice about the location, checking in along the way, and making us feel sure that photography was at least one thing we had covered. Thank you guys!!

ry flexible and helped ease the stress. She has such a great eye for capturing an image and you can see in the photographs that she takes such great care and loves what she does. We also used VIVIDfotos for our maternity photos! Balbino was also there with Melissa and the husband/wife duo made the photo shoot so much fun. It was so easy to work with them and they are such perfectionists in the best way possible. They are such artistic photographers and you can see in their work that they love what they do. Our photos came out amazing and we couldn't be happier. They have absolutely captured a few of the greatest milestones in our lives and now we have the photos to help us remember them. We love them so much!

d done a professional shoot before. We chose to hire them for our wedding because of our great experience and beautiful photos from our engagement shoot. Mel helped me through the entire wedding planning process reminding me of things I never would have thought of. The day of they were on time, got to work right away and they had the perfect balance of in the background yet available if needed. We received our photos less than two months after the wedding and our photo album shortly after. The photo album was great because I got to edit it multiple times before it went to print. Also, we were able to send access to an app to our friends and family of our top 40 photos to give them a preview. It was a great experience working with Vividfotos, highly recommend them!!

able photos to capture our memories for a lifetime. We really enjoyed working with them and would highly recommend VIVIDfotos to anyone looking for a photographer who not only captures the important moments but also makes the process fun and stress-free. The only problem you will have is deciding what photos to choose!

ee allowing anyone else but Melissa and Balbino to showcase our wedding day. We really got blessed with them and would never recommend anyone else besides VIVIDfotos. Thank you Mel and Bal for helping us capture our special day in a way that we can always treasure!

artners throughout the wedding process: from the time that we first chatted (while they were on vacation!) to fine-tuning our album. In addition to their artistic skills, the team has awesome communication, attention to small details like helping me get into my wedding dress (at the moment that I really needed help), and patience and professionalism in working through a hectic yet important life event. The wedding day flew by so quickly. Thanks to VIVIDfotos, we have beautiful photos, both posed and candid, that we can always look back and remember our wonderful time at the stunning island with lush, green surroundings and breathtaking ocean views.
