“ It was lovely to meet Rui, and he tried to make the rainy situation work. ”
“ Rui was absolutely fantastic to work with! My fiancée and I don’t usually enjoy being in front of the camera, but he immediately put us at ease and guided us with simple, helpful direction that made everything feel natural. 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! ”
“ We had a great time at our family sunset photo session. Rui was easy to work with and it was non-stressful and kids seemed to enjoy themselves too on the beach searching for shells and cool rocks. The pictures turned out awesome. I have had a great experience so far using flytographer for the third time now in Hawaii. All the information and interesting facts we learned about the island was great. Thanks Rui! ”
