Storytelling for couples who want to feel it all again.
Film & Digital

We’re a small team of photographers and filmmakers based in Hawai‘i, documenting weddings and intimate gatherings with honesty, emotion, and intention.

Whether you’re planning something big or beautifully quiet, we’re here to help you remember it the way it felt.

Hey Pono! These photos are absolutely incredible! We can't thank you enough for being the perfect wedding photographer and for making the whole experience a pleasure. You are a true artist, and your amazing skills have brought our special day to life in the most magical way. Your attention to detail and exceptional post-production truly brought our memories to life, and we can't stop smiling as we go through these pictures. Having you with us at our wedding and capturing the most important day of our lives is something we're truly grateful for. Your work will help us relive these beautiful moments for years to come! Thank you so much!

“We were weeping. The film is a literal masterpiece. You didn’t just capture what it looked like, you gave us something that felt like us. Watching the footage of my dad walking me down the aisle meant the world. Thank you for taking care of us without us even having to ask. You made us feel so seen, supported, and safe through it all. We’ll cherish this forever.”
- Kelly & Jess
We finally had a chance to sit down all together to view the images + film. You guys are magic! We LOVE it all so much!! Words can't adequately convey our gratitude, but please know we are beyond thankful for your time, talent, travel efforts to make it to CDMX, calm and positive presence, and, of course, the final products. The photographs are stunning; they look like they are straight out of a magazine. Blown away! The films are absolute perfection. We loved the storytelling and intertwining of all the little moments. It made us all teary-eyed.... and that song is such a vibe. Just wow to both!! Thank you for capturing our love, our family, as well as the places that have our heart: Nima and Mexico City. We will treasure these for years to come. With full hearts + tremendous gratitude,
- Kim & Koa
Pono, you were seriously the best. I never had to worry about a single thing with you. You were calm, kind, and just quietly there for all the important stuff without ever feeling in the way. And then when we watched the video... I didn’t expect to feel it all that deeply again. We’re honestly so grateful we had you there.
- Kayla & Gil

Before I ever documented weddings, I spent years photographing and filming in the community like nonprofits, families, elders, and everyday people whose stories deserved to be remembered. That work taught me to see what’s real. To pay attention to what’s quiet. To tell stories with care.

That same approach guides everything we do now. Weddings aren’t just events; they’re layered, emotional, deeply human experiences. Our job isn’t to stage them. It’s to witness them and preserve them honestly.

WHAT WE DO

(and Why it feels different)

THE PROCESS

Once you reach out, we’ll send a few thoughtful questions that help us understand your day, your values, and what you're hoping to feel when you look back on these memories.
We’ll also talk through coverage options (photo, motion, or both), what matters most to you, and what feels like the best fit
You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need to know what matters to you.
We offer a curated set of collections that cover photography, motion, or both. Each designed to balance storytelling, emotional depth, and value.
If your day has unique needs (multi-day, cultural traditions, documentary requests), we can always adjust.
We keep things simple and upfront so you can focus on the fun part.
Please inquire for custom collections
A signed agreement and a 1/3 retainer secures your date. From there, I’ll walk you through what to expect, what to prep, and how we’ll stay in sync.
You'll know exactly what’s included and when you’ll receive it.
I keep things simple and upfront so you can focus on the fun part.
Our approach is grounded and intuitive. We will guide you when it matters whether that’s helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera or keeping the day flowing. But we also know when to step back and let things unfold naturally.
Most people don’t know what to do in front of a camera and that’s okay. You don’t have to. We have worked in community spaces, nonprofits, and intimate gatherings reading the room and knowing when to lead comes naturally.
You won’t need to worry about what’s next. We’ve got you.
Your story is edited and crafted by us and never outsourced. Whether it’s stills, motion, or both, everything is delivered with intention: color graded, emotionally paced, and ready to be relived. Typical delivery is under 60 days.
No mass produced feel. Just real memories, preserved with care.
