Vic flew to France to photograph our chateau destination wedding -- which included multiple events over two days, plus a boudoir shoot in the morning before our ceremony. I am so so happy we decided to work with her. We ended up with SO MANY stunning photos, including glamorous bridal portraits, couples shots, and priceless reaction shots of our friends and family. And she was just a joy to work with, we had so much fun. Turnaround for edited photos was super quick as well! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for your special day.

Every couple wants to feel seen and they absolutely made us feel that way. They asked questions about our relationship and that showed in the shots they chose. The photos reflect our humor and tenderness, not just pretty faces. The video includes a montage of candid laughter that always makes me laugh again. The team was so patient with the kids and older guests, which kept everyone feeling comfortable. They delivered a cinematic trailer that we shared with friends who couldn’t attend and it was a hit. The gallery interface made gifting images to relatives simple. I loved the balance of posed couple shots and documentary-style candids. They also suggested a few creative locations at the venue that made for stunning backdrops. Very grateful for their attentive approach.

She also had a detailed meeting with my husband and I to confirm our wishes for our day, which put me at ease because she took very detailed notes about what I wanted and envisioned on my day. Just before the wedding, Kylene confirmed the type of photography I wanted and which photos were most important to me. On the wedding day, she upheld all of my wishes and made sure my entire family felt included. Afterward, she provided a sneak peek of the photos incredibly quickly and put together an amazing album with my input. She also ensured I had access to my photos until I could download and purchase the ones I liked. I would highly recommend Kylene to anyone seeking special photos. She is truly amazing!

Masha is an incredible photographer. As a fellow wedding photographer, finding the right person to document our colorful wedding on Maui took some time, but as soon as I talked to Masha and saw her full wedding galleries I knew she was the one! She took such care to get to know us the months leading up to the wedding and on the day made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Just a few days after our wedding she sent over the most beautiful sneak peeks. When I saw them I immediately started crying she just captured our day so beautifully!!

By the wedding day, I felt completely at ease and able to focus on the moment with my husband rather than my insecurities in my head.

I am a lover of love and adventure. I am a pretty down person (I free dive with sharks so if that doesn't say something...) I moved to Hawaii in 4 hours notice and quit my corporate job to chase my dreams and here I am! I'm a bit of a minimalist like to think I'm pretty fun. I'm an ocean conservationist and use my skills to also educate people about human impacts and ways to make shifts in our own lives in order to help the planet. I am really big on quality over quantity. I would rather deliver a handful of WOW photos over a ton of average photos to fill a number.

Taylor Walston is considerate of those around her, kind, and efficient in her own work. She is easy going, yet confident in what she is doing and leads well!

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.

We hired Alvea Studios to take our first maternity photo shoot back in 2019, both my husband and I were expecting our first baby! We got to choose the location to have our shoot and both Abbie and Harold made both my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable. We are ones to not take pictures but I knew this was a milestone in our life we wanted to remember, I left having fun and it was the utmost positive experience we’ve ever experienced! Both were 100% professional, accommodating and captured every moment. After seeing the final product of pictures we were incredibly happy as it came out perfect! Something for my son to see when he gets older. They both were so awesome we also ended up hiring them to do my engagement photos in the summer of 2019 as well after my son was born! They even made a wedding teaser video for me, which came out awesome! Harold and Abbie have a gifted talent, to capture a moment in time with their photography I’ve never seen before with past professional family photos taken when I was a child. In the end I hired them for my wedding, my second maternity shoot back in 2021 and the last two years for our holiday Christmas cards. Consider them for any event you may have, both again are extremely professional and great at what they do!
