Kristen is hands down the best photographer on Oahu! We are vacation photo junkies and we have had some not great experiences with other photographers here and across the islands. Not only did Kristen do an awesome job with the photographs, but I'd like to share how she helped my bride and I during a stressful start to the wedding when we were informed by the videographer he wasn't able to live stream 2 minutes before the wedding.

Kristen made a family-reunion photograph session over Christmas vacation seem like a breeze. She is easy-going and so fun to work with. She offered great tips for colors to wear (and not wear). She suggested appropriate props to help with levels. The day before our session, when we started to second-guess our chosen beach location, she quickly identified a new location that was beautiful. The weather wasn't great, but Kristen captured the 15 of us in great light. She made it fun, and I think we have some terrific family photos. I would use her services again.

I don't get it. She's super friendly, great with kids, takes excellent photos, and is an utmost professional. Wow. Superb! We had 15 family members out in Hawai'i and wanted family photos--a bunch of them. You know, the whole group, smaller family units, just the grandkids, just the granddaughters, etc. She was very helpful in knowing the local terrain, timing of the sun and locations. She made everyone feel at ease (which made for some great fun shots--included). To top it all off, my brother is a professional photographer, and he gave an enthusiastic thumbs up for her work as well, both the final

"Kristen Hook is pure talent at its best! She photographed our family after our daughter was born at 5-weeks-old, and again when she was nearly two! We are a family of four and my six-year-old son is a ball of energy. Kristen demonstrated the utmost patience and expertise as she chose the perfect location, the perfect shots, and captured the sweetest moments. She provided a link to all 400+ photos, and I truly loved them all! We will continue to use her services for years to come. "

We hired Kristen to do family photos while we were on vacation in Hawaii. We were quite a large group with a few babies and a few school aged kids. She did such a great job and was so easy to work with! She sent us all the photos, including the bloopers and we loved them! Everyone was really happy with how they all turned out. I would definitely recommend Kristen!

I don't write reviews often. I am very particular, and will not take the time to write something unless I am absolutely moved by a product or service. Kristin is it. Not only was she professional, friendly and on time... she made my husband-to-be and me extremely comfortable throughout the entire event. Her eye for the 'perfect shot' is amazing, and she was able to capture those 'Harry Benson' moments, which showed the essence of our personalities. Kristin made our wedding day most memorable, and beautiful. I would absolutely use her again, and highly recommend her for your upcoming event.

Kristen is AMAZING! Every photo is better than the next! Extremely professional, organized and so creative. She has fantastic ideas and makes you feel completely comfortable. We live in St. Louis, Missouri and decided to marry in Hawaii. I planned everything via email with Kristen and she has just been a dream to work with. My husband and I could not be more pleased with the outcome! We will ask Kristen to do our anniversary photos when we go back. LOVE HER!

Kristen was the photographer for our recent wedding. We heard about her from good family friends and since we aren't located in Hawaii we went based on the recommendation. We couldn't have been more pleased. Kristen was amazing! She was early and even captured shots I didn't think she would have time to do. She was flexible and always willing to try what I was suggesting. She made all our friends and family feel comfortable. In the end we have the best photos and it is amazing to go back and look at them and relive that day. Thank you Kristen for everything!

It was such a pleasure to work with Kristen! She has a way of making everyone feel relaxed, and has a great intuitive sense on the essence or energy of the wedding and the people involved. Although we just met on my wedding day, she was able to capture, not only the essence of our personalities in the pictures, but also of the loving energy that was present that day. She also has a way of bringing out the fun to catch great spontaneous shots! Kristen is talented and has a gifted eye for beauty deeper than just the surface. I would definitely recommend her services as a wedding photographer; and
