From start to end the Visionari team was nothing but spectacular to work with. Leanne made the entire process EASY. Jason and Enzo were my day of photogs, and they were beyond amazing!!!!! They were patient with everybody, especially me...The bride that had a hundred loose ends to tie one hour before cocktail hour begins. They put their cameras down and helped set up guest tables! I just couldn't believe how accommodating they were! All my guests couldn't stop raving about how great they were. So here I am, writing this review because Visionari absolutely deserve it!

We asked Ryan and his crew to take engagement pictures in addition to pictures of our ceremony and reception. Not only were the pictures amazing, their experience was integral to the success of our wedding. They found some amazing backdrops for our engagement shots (and that's saying a lot for the already scenic Hawai).
At the wedding the crew was there for us in so many ways. One example was Ryan bringing me a cooling towel so I didn't sweat through my shirt in the Hawaii heat. Also when it was time to cut the cake my wife and I had no idea what to do with our hands. Ryan walks

VISIONARI ARE TRULY SUPERB!
When we first got engaged the first topic for discussion was where to get married! Hawaii has always been a very special place for us having travelled there together twice.
Having an Overseas wedding has many benefits, but it also does bring many challenges such as finding companies and suppliers that you have had no previous experience with. Adding to this is the fact you don't get the opportunity to meet with the vendors prior to finalising a booking /service.
Fortunately we were extremely fortunate to find Visionari photography through the recommendation

I am so incredibly grateful to the Visionari team who not only did an incredible part on photography/videography at our recent Aulani wedding, but also how they went above and beyond throughout the entire day.
Jason, Enzo, Derek, and the sweetest lady, whom I didn't catch her name, helped us the day of the wedding. Jason was so sweet, creating positive energy with everything we gave him. He constantly apologized when I was sweating in the heat and would reassure me things were going to be finished soon. Honestly, apologies were not needed because I felt they worked tremendously hard that

My husband and I got married at The kahala, and visionari was on their preferred vendor list. My event coordinator was trying to push Derek Wong photography, but I decided to go with visionari bc they have a beautiful portfolio on their website.
Our photographer was Jason, and he definitely deserves a 5-star rating! He was very professional and easy going. Not only he took pictures of the poses I wanted, he also suggested some good ones. My ceremony was a bit longer than I expected, so we did go over our time. He was very patient, he made sure I got all the pictures on the list.

My husband and I came across Visionari as one of the preferred vendors with our wedding venue. During our initial phone meeting with Ryan, we felt confident in booking them as our wedding photographers...and we're so glad we did! Ryan was very professional and answered all our photo questions and concerns prior to our wedding date. We just got our photos and after looking through them, we were impressed with the special moments Ryan and his team captured, to the details of the decor (and even my awesome wedding shoes)! We love all our photos and we're so pleased to have chosen Visionari

This post is way over due but I recommend Ryan and his team 100%! It's so nice to work with a team who is so professional and knows all about weddings. They captured every detail of ours and were so good at giving us instructions on how to pose. So glad that we went with Visionari. They are the best!

My husband and I just received our photos online and the first word that came out of our mouths was "Wow!" We couldn't believe how well the photos looked! Mike and Jon nailed the lighting, camera angles, and most importantly captured the best candid moments which really meant the most to us. They were fantastic to work with! Detail-oriented, professional and just brilliant!
Because nothing ever goes according to plan, we ran very late into the reception and they stayed the entire time to complete the photos of all the guests! I admire their work ethics and dedication.

I wish I could give 5+ star to them on yelp! Ryan and his team are professional, they came half an hour/an hour earlier to make sure they have enough time to capture everything. We love the photos that they took, the color/contrast are just right, there's no detail lost in the photo. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to get married in Hawaii!

We hired Visionari for our Oct 2014 wedding in Maui.
Shout out to Mike and Jon who did a fab job capturing our wedding. They were (and probably still are) super nice, accomodating, talented and stealthy. I forgot they were there for the majority of our day. Our pictures turned out amazing. We get compliments on them all the time. I only have positive things to say about this company. I hope to use their services again in the future.

Visionari was definitely my first choice when choosing a photographer for our wedding (August 23, 2014). Looking at their albums of recent weddings they've done, I felt they captured all those moments perfectly. Ryan and his team at Visionar was the best decision when it came to hiring a wedding photographer! Here are just a couple reasons you should book them right now:
They were very professional. Ryan was super communicative and makes the whole process easy for you. He made it so easy to ask him questions, work through contracts and book him. It was so smooth and clean. His professionalism

Our wedding was 1 year ago, August 16, 2013. I had written a review last year, but from the looks of it, I forgot to publish it, oops. So here we go:
Everyday we get SO MANY compliments on our wedding photos. Lisa has a talented eye and knows how to direct to get the perfect lighting and composition.
Shoot, Lisa went knee deep into the ocean - WITH HER EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT - to capture me and my crazy bridesmaids, who were frolicking in our dresses, in the Hawaiian waters.
During our reception many of our guest and myself barely noticed Visionari's presences snapping away --- they are

Visionari captured the most amazing moments at my wedding including my dad doing the splits on the dance floor. I didn't need a videographer because I knew I was in good hands and that Ryan and his team would do an amazing job. Thank you for rushing my photos to me as fast as you could and for sending me a roughdraft of the slideshow to show something to my mom when she could not be patient. I love you guys so much and appreciate the hard work that you do. I will definitely recommend you to my friends. When I got my photos back I was very impressed as was my dad who is also a professional

I am a flake. Let me be clear, I am not always a flake, but I do flake about 65% of the time. I hate answering emails, phone calls, and texts. But, who can blame me when I take care of my very precocious and rambunctious almost 2 year old?
Over the years I have worked with MANY photographers, and Visionari rates at the very top of my list. They handled my flakiness perfectly, did not make me feel like I was a pain the the neck when I was nearly 2 weeks late with my deposit or when we changed our wedding date...TWICE. Each time they spoke to me with professionalism, made me feel at ease, and

When you dream about the biggest day in your life being picture perfect, you always have to remember this is a once in a lifetime experience and you have to make sure every aspect of your wedding is seamless from beginning to end, and for the photograpers at Visionari, they capture those precious moments and then some.

When we were first given the list of "recommended photographers" from our wedding site, Visionari was the first website we stumbled across. We were INSTANTLY in love with their photography!
Our communication was a bit fumbled from the start and being a destination wedding for me, I was a bit skeptical about their professionalism. But Ryan did everything he could to ensure that I would get nothing but professionalism and quality pictures, and I'm sure glad I chose them!
Their photography is seamless and unobtrusive. We could have gone through our whole ceremony without knowing

Visionari photographers Jon and Mike captured all the special moments from our wedding beautifully! We loved their photojournalistic style and artistic eye for lighting and reflections. It's important for us to feel comfortable with our photographers so we'd show our most natural smiles. Visionari's non-obtrusive professionalism was key to successfully capturing all the emotions from our special day.
We've actually met with Visionari two years ago and wanted to book them immediately--we felt that we'd have good chemistry. Planning a destination wedding in Honolulu
