I wanted pictures at sunset and he was able to capture the beautiful hues of the sunset in the clouds with our family. Thanks Rui! ”

“ Rojeena was great with our family! She was amazing in capturing our kids, even when they were cranky. She also mixed up the variety to make sure my mom was captured in photos with us as well. Highly recommend! ”
“ We recently worked with Rui for a family photo session in Kona, and we couldn't be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, Rui was incredibly friendly and easy to work with. He has a natural way of making everyone feel relaxed in front of the camera, which was exactly what we were looking for with our two teenagers. The session itself felt like a fun part of our vacation rather than a chore. Rui knew all the best spots for lighting and backdrops, and he was great at giving just the right amount of direction to keep things feeling natural. We are absolutely thrilled with the photos he produced. They captured our family perfectly and are the best souvenirs from our trip. If you are looking for a talented, professional, and personable photographer on the Big Island, we highly recommend booking with Rui! ”

“ Sej made us feel at ease and worked fabulously with my 4 yr old daughter. I would 100% book her again. I loved her creativity with the shots of our family. ”
“ We absolutely love our photos done by Kanekoa. I asked him for a location recommendation and said I wanted beachy golden hour photos and the spot he recommended was absolutely perfect and the photos turned out better than I could have imagined. He made us feel very comfortable and accommodated some last minute changes. I would highly recommend Kanekoa to capture your family memories on the Big Island! ”
