Oliver Sangalang Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Kailua, HI

Oliver Sangalang Photography specializes in weddings and portraits that feel genuine, timeless, and full of heart. With a relaxed and thoughtful approach, I focus on capturing real moments—from emotional vows and joyful celebrations to quiet, in-between glances you didn’t even realize were happening. The goal is to create images that tell your story naturally, allowing you to relive the feeling of your day for years to come.

Ollie is a fantastic photographer! He is so talented and a lot of fun to work with! The photos he took were amazing. When he takes pictures, he can transform a boring place into a spectacular one! He even dressed up for the occasion! I will never forget how he was wearing a really nice suit on my wedding day. Really made an impression! He's very chill and very understanding. He's also very helpful, suggesting ideas for posing and where to place your hands (I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had this issue), and he makes the photo session so much fun. He will make you feel like it's just another ordinary day, so you will not feel any pressure. Ollie does not treat you like a client. He treats you like a friend, so the whole session is smooth, fun, chill, and memorable. Ollie is highly recommended, and I would definitely hire him again for any future occasions that require a photographer. If you really want someone to capture your moment, Ollie is your man!

Hawaii Wedding Film Photographer Megan Charlotte Karbowski

  • Serves Kailua, HI

Hi, I’m Megan—a film photographer based on Oʻahu and in Colorado, traveling worldwide. I’m passionate about preserving the magic of weddings through the timeless beauty of analog photography. My work is rooted in honest, artful moments—candid, unscripted, and full of feeling. I love the texture, warmth, and intention that film brings, and I’d be honored to document your day with images that feel both timeless and true.

Megan flew from Oahu to the Big Island to shoot our wedding in Kona back in January and I have only good things to say about her. She was so sweet and easy to work with through the whole process. We met with her on a call before the wedding to discuss our vision and she was able to help me narrow down our packed shot list and schedule for the day. Of course things don't go as planned the day of and she was flexible when we had a few changes during get ready photos. My husband has captured many of our moments on film so it was important to us that we found a photographer who shot film for our wedding photos. Megan did offer to shoot a mix of film and digital but we both agreed that the feel of film was what we were looking for. Megan took such amazing care to capture all the big and little moments from our day. Within a couple weeks Megan delivered over 500 images to us in a digital photo album for us to download. We are overjoyed to have these beautiful images to look back onto for the rest of our lives.

  • Serves Kailua, HI

I’m a published fine-art wedding photographer specializing in editorial, destination weddings across Hawaiʻi and California. My work blends cinematic landscapes, film-inspired tones, and genuine, unscripted moments to create timeless imagery that feels both refined and deeply personal. With a calm, unobtrusive approach, I allow couples to fully experience their day while I document both the grand celebrations and the quiet, meaningful details in between. From sun-washed coastal ceremonies to elegant estate weddings, my focus is always on creating photographs that feel as powerful decades from now as they do today.

Carol was the best photographer a bride could ever ask for! Her and her second shooter Mohammed, made the day so much fun and really captured the most amazing shots of our special day. Even the guys had fun! She is so talented and it was so fun to share in her creative process and be her muse. My husband and I are so in love with the images and album - everything exceeded our expectations! She was professional, skilled, reliable and so loving. She also knew how to be direct and take charge in a crowd, which is always a plus. She captured the nature and spirt of the day perfectly, we felt like royalty. I can't wait to book her for many, many more special moments in our lifetime together!

  • Serves Kailua, HI

My name is Amy Lee and I'm excited to share a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Taiwan and later spent four years living in Japan, which is how I became fluent in Mandarin and Japanese besides English. Now based in Hawaii, I'm fortunate enough to call this beautiful place home. When I'm not behind the camera, you can usually find me indulging in one of my many hobbies. I love coffee, snowboarding, and traveling - in fact, my goal is to visit at least two new countries each year! If you're planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement shoot in a far-off destination, count me in.

What can I say except for we are in Love. The entire experience with Amy was 5 stars! Excellent communication, she was flexible with my wedding timeline, and she was able to capture moments that I was not able to see myself. She is friendly, courteous, and professional, worked in sync with our videographer. We have seen our preview photos and they can't be any better. We will be booking her again for future events!

Make Your Wedding Day Legendary! For the couples who dare to stand out, who crave the flair of editorial-like storytelling, and authenticity in every frame, we're here to bring your special day to life. Whether you're envisioning a mountaintop surprise proposal, an intimate elopement, or a grand wedding, we'll create an experience that's as unique as your love story. We believe that your love should be a reflection of who you are as a couple—your quirks, your passions, and most importantly your journey. That's why we take the time to get to know you, to understand your vision, and approach your story with grace.

Ashley has been a part of our journey from the engagement to "I do." Leading up to our wedding on the island, Ashley went out of her way to help us with vendors, shipping, and giving us advice on best practices on the island. We are forever grateful for her generosity and willingness to help us even when we weren't there. On the wedding day, Ashley arrived early to make sure everything was how it needed to be for her, but also took time to build bonds with our entire wedding party to make sure they were comfortable. Her way of guiding us through our photos while allowing us to be "ourselves" and feel authentic and comfortable was so natural for her. She was able to capture our love f0r our people and most importantly our love for each other in ways that we are truly blown away by. Every request was met with willingness and a clear vision. Her work prior to arrival was evident, her photos are truly magic, and her timeliness is unmatched. We found a reliable, trustworthy, kind, and generous photographer that has now turned into our Ohana. We are forever grateful for finding her!

Hey there friend! My name is Sunny Golden and I'm a wedding photographer based on Oahu, HI! I'm all about getting to know each other and making your photography experience not-so-intimidating! I'm not here to put you into some cookie-cutter, stiff poses. You are WAY too unique for that! I'm about letting you love each other the way you do best and encouraging genuine interaction. My goal is come alongside couples, listen to who they are and what's important to them. So I can then capture their special day in a way that that is meaningful to them. Not just generic and typical. I want this is be the very best for YOU!!!

Sunny was recommended to me by my Sister-in-Law after working with her to do maternity photos on Oahu. Sunny was warm and welcoming, she seemed like she really wanted to get to know me and my fiancé. She set up a Zoom call to chat with us and to learn about our love story so she could be sure to capture us in the way(s) in which were important to us. COVID cancelled our original wedding but Sunny was AMAZING. Not only did she work to reschedule with us, but she went above and beyond to let us know that she was there for us through all the stress. She even sent us a small care package to let us know she was thinking of us and cared about us! All of this care before we had even met her face to face!! As a worrier and an over planner Sunny helped me feel calm and confident leading up to the wedding day. Did I mention that Sunny is incredibly talented!?! In addition to her beautiful personality she took the most amazing photos that my husband and I will cherish forever. Neither one of us are used to being in front of the camera and she made us feel so comfortable. She had an awesome vision for our photos and took us to a spot that we had not even thought of. Her creativity is unmatched and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have Sunny on our wedding team!! <3

I'm Bree - With over fifteen years of experience documenting love stories in Columbus, California & Hawaii as well as International when needed. I believe wedding photography should feel calm and grounding. My approach is guided, not always posed; present, not performative. I step in when needed and step back when moments deserve to breathe. Your wedding day isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection. My role is to preserve the feeling of that day so it can be experienced again for generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bree was such a fabulous person to work with. She made the day go 1000x easier and we truly could not have done it without her. She was effortless in her ability to help us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera which was something we were worried about. She was kind to our family and inspiring to our friends. If I ever did this day over I would want to work with Bree again. She is the person I would recommend to the most important people in my life because I know she would make their days as perfect as she made mine!

Love Knot Photography

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

Together Carly and Elliot of Nomadic Love are the ultimate power team for your wedding day. As a husband and wife team feeding off one another’s strengths, they can truly maximize on so many more elements than a single person.

Awarded Best of Zola
Carly and Elliot from A Nomadic Love are truly one of a kind. They photographed one of our best friend’s weddings in 2019, another in 2023, and then ours in 2025, and we honestly couldn’t fathom having anyone else capture these moments. Their photos are truly unmatched. A Nomadic Love was the very first vendor I booked, long before I knew anything else about our wedding, because they were my one and only non-negotiable! Their style and editing speak for themselves, but what makes them even more special is who they are as people. They are so much fun to be around, they instantly make you feel comfortable, and seamlessly guiding you through each shot. They make everything so much fun, that you don't even really notice you are being photographed. Every experience I’ve had with them has been exceptional. Our wedding photos are beyond what we could have imagined, and we are still trying to narrow down which ones to print because every single one is that good. We’ve gotten endless compliments from family, friends, and are so happy with how our special day was documented through photo. Carly and Elliot are unlike any other, and we could not recommend them more
