We are husband + wife lifestyle, candid, non-traditional photographers based on the north shore, Oahu. After many years of doing photography, in 2016, we started capturing and creating beautiful images for our clients. We love everything from the mountains to the sea. We love to travel and spend our time outdoors.
Raff was born and raised in Australia & Wi grew up in Thailand. We were married in 2015 and have lived in both Thailand and Australia. In 2019, we started calling Oahu, Hawai'i home. It's been quite the adventure! All the photos you see here or on our social media are REAL people/clients - just like you, not models.

Our story began 6 short years ago. I woke up one morning at a crossroads and, just felt that I needed to get away. Ten minutes later, I received an email. It was a ticket confirmation for the one way ticket to Bangkok that I, without any real thought, had just bought. I had previously lived there for two years.
Raff and Wi were very prompt in getting back to me and were eager to help with anything they could. Obviously since we were traveling with two young boys, there was a lot to think about and stay on top of, but they ensured we didn't miss a step. In the past my experience with family photos has not been the best.
When we started taking photos for our clients in 2016, we actually started with family photos! We have always loved meeting and working with families. Whether they are a big or small, we love them all! We love capturing their smiles and laughter and learning about each family. These sessions are so special to us.
One of our favorite sessions are couple photoshoots! These are some of our favorite shots of couple (engagement, maternity, anniversary, bridal, honeymoon, pregnancy announcement) photos we've taken of our clients. As professional photographers, we know how to make you feel comfortable and make your session fun while we capture some memories for you on the beautiful island of Oahu.
We are so Happy that you've found Love, Congratulations! We understand how excited and nervous you may be for your big day. So, we'd love to work with you, by your side, and capture this important day that you will look back on and treasure forever. Our wedding packages start at $2,290 and elopements start at $1,990.

My family and I had such a great experience with Raff & Wi Photography! I had inquired with them to book a family session for our Christmas photos. The communication from beginning to end has been so easy and so quick - this made everything stress free for me. During our photo session, my 6 month old and 2 year old didn’t make it easy to capture photos, but Wi was so patient and accommodating and worked her magic! The final edited photos came out way better than I imagined. I am so happy that we chose Raff & Wi Photography to take our first family Christmas photos!!!

We’ve been taking yearly family photos since 2015 and Wi has been the best photographer we’ve had so far. She’s very responsive, professional, patient, friendly, funny, and worked so well with our 3 kids ages 7, 5, and 2. She knew how to engage everyone and efficiently use the time we had to take the most beautiful images of our family. All our photos turned out so amazing! Wi captured our family’s laughters and the love we have for each other so naturally. Wi knew exactly how to direct us and knew the words to say to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera! We can’t thank her

We had the pleasure of working with Wi and she was nothing short of AMAZING! My husband and I, who have never taken professional photos ever, were very nervous and she took away all of those nerves. Wi immediately made us feel comfortable, allowed us to be ourselves and most importantly have fun. Not to mention the end photos are incredible! Raff and Wi are both truly talented. These photos are something we are going to share and cherish forever. We are so blessed that we found Raff and Wi capture these moments! We highly recommend Raff and Wi to anyone who is looking for a fun, personable, and

Raff & Wi are the perfect duo! Our family has lived on island for 3 years now and have waited to take family pictures until we found the perfect photographer. We couldn’t be any happier with photos that captured Hawaii and our family so beautifully. Thank you!

We had a very positive experience with Raff & Wi Photography. They were very flexible and accommodating with their approach up to the session. The session ended up being honestly really fun. This was our first photoshoot ever, and Wi made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We chose the soft proof option and loved getting to pick the photos that would make it into the final edit. The final copies are so stunning and we are so impressed. We are proud to share these with our family and friends, and are glad we made the choice to use their services to make a memory we will keep forever

We were in Hawaii for our babymoon and are so glad we did a photo shoot with Wi to capture those special memories. From the very beginning, Wi was very professional and communicative and made sure to support us every step of the way including helping me pick out which outfit to wear! She has a wonderful energy and made our photo session very fun and enjoyable, which resulted in the most beautiful photos that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. We loved the photos so much that we ended up purchasing additional shots as well. Highly recommend Raff & Wi to anyone looking to capture some incredible memories

We had Raff & Wi take our engagement photos last month, and we could not be more grateful for the time and effort that spent helping plan and keep this a surprise. They were very helpful and responsive from the moment I submitted an inquiry form. They helped me choose the location and how to plan the surprise and overall we had an amazing experience. We love our photos so much and will definitely be using them again in the future when we need photos taken!

My family and I returned back to Oahu for the first time in a few years, returning now with our two girls. I wanted to document it and I'm so happy we found Raff & Wi Photography. Wi was such a pleasure to work with before our arrival & during the session (esp with two small children). The photos were amazing!! Book ahead - it'll be worth it!

Raff and Wi are the most incredible photographers. They are a beautiful team and truly work seamlessly with one another. They are detail oriented, patient, kind, and professional. I am so grateful I took the time I did to truly find what I was envisioning for my Hawai’i Wedding Blessing. My husband and I had a very small ceremony in WA State in 2020 but were very sad we weren’t able to share the day with family and friends and plan our big celebration in our family home and backyard in Hawai’i. When restrictions lifted in 2021 we decided to go for it and have our celebration even though we
