I would book with Kanekoa again - highly recommend! ”

The location he chose was stunning, and he captured a great variety of shots—from the beach and ocean to dramatic lava rock backdrops. He did an amazing job documenting our engagement in a way that felt genuine and effortless. Beyond his photography skills, Rui was also incredibly personable. We truly enjoyed chatting with him and hearing his stories throughout the session. If you are looking for a photographer in Kona, I can’t recommend Rui highly enough! ”
