I'm relaxed, I'm not too bossy, and I'll stay out of your way. I believe that wedding photography doesn't have to be safe and boring. I don't want to just give you photos, I want to give you works of art that will blow your mind, that communicate the essence of who you are, that tell stories beyond what you see, and that move complete strangers to stop and stare.
Weddings are supposed to be fun and I believe the photographer should be too! Whether it's the wedding party taking shots while getting ready, the inappropriate jokes that slip out when friends get together, or crazy ideas you want to do during portraits, we encourage it all. Cliche photos make me bored.

My husband and I were FLOORED when we received our wedding pics from Keoni. They are so stunningly gorgeous, we don't know what to do with ourselves! Every single picture he took at our 9/9/21 wedding is priceless and we are beyond happy that we chose him to be our photographer! He is a very, very nice guy and so talented and creative. I would recommend him a thousand times over with no hesitation!

We recently had a family photo session with Keoni in Oahu and couldn't be happier with our photos! We love Keoni's style and work. He had these really creative and cool ideas that got great wide shots of the beach, our family and the sunset sky. It was pretty awesome to have been surprised with those photos! We also liked that he does both styled and candid shots.
He is also great and friendly with kids. He made our little daughters smile so big and laugh which gave us great smiling shots.
He is also very quick and delivered all lot of photos within a week!
We highly recommend him

Keoni is great! The photos we have really help us relive the day whenever we look at them. Easy to work with, communicative and our pictures are gorgeous! Keoni totally has an eye for what we would want to share with friends and family as keepsakes and for the gram =P. We appreciate him for taking our requests for a long shot list.
Keoni was super professional while also helping us calmly get through the potential stress of getting our perfect wedding photos. He was familiar with the venues and locations and had a great process that left us super confident that we would have great photos, and

Keoni was so helpful through out the entire process from helping me choose outfits and locations for our engagement shoot while we were in Oahu. He was very easy to communicate with and exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend him to and of our family or friends looking to get photos done in Oahu!

After getting engaged in 2019, I was on the search for a photographer to take our engagement & wedding photos. Now.. I'm very picky when it comes to photos & I absolutely just wanted the best. I came across Keoni's business IG "kpixhi" & liked what I seen so I read some reviews & decided to reach out to him. Besides from the quality of the photos I seen, I also read that he made a lot of couples feel comfortable during their shoot which automatically sold me even more. I'm camera shy & was worried about looking/being awkward in our photos bc of not knowing

Keoni was easy and great to work with and his talent was evident with the photos. We love the photos and received many compliments from our family and friends. We were on a short vacation to Oahu, pressed for time and wanted professional family photos taken. Keoni squeezed us in between his sessions. Thank you, Keoni.

Keoni is AWESOME! I loved having him capture all the different moments on camera for one of the most amazing and memorable days of our lives.
For my now husband and I, it was super important to hire a photographer that would capture US, our story, the day, our loved ones in a way that so is US. We took engagement photos with 2 other photographers, but hired Keoni in the end because we loved his work. It is FUN yet CLASSY yet ROMANTIC. Which was exactly what we were going for. Plus, these are not just photos that remind you of the day - these are photos that will likely be framed and shared

My husband and I knew about Keoni’s work because Keoni was the photographer for my brother’s wedding and the pictures were beautiful and so different. We hired Keoni to take our wedding photos a few months ago, and we were so happy with how the photos came out. The background and variety of photos were exactly what we wanted. Keoni was very responsive throughout the planning and scheduling of the photos, promptly answered all of our questions, gave us a very reasonable rate, and was very punctual. He made the whole process so easy, and was a pleasure to work with. He listened to all of our

Keoni is an excellent photographer with an even greater personality! He captures moments with such vibrance and warmth of life and love and was just what we've been looking for! Modern yet classy, clean, bright, fun, and romantic! I noticed he was based mostly in Hawaii but Seattle too, which was so ideal -- since our wedding is in Seattle, and I was already visiting my husband in Hawaii! I messaged him crossing my fingers that he would be able to capture both our engagement session and wedding, and he was very timely, flexible, and so helpful!

Keoni did our wedding photography, which in itself was very professional and amazing. Guests would comment on how great he is, especially photographing our 1 year old (at the time.)
I really wanted amazing maternity photos and I immediately thought of Keoni, and he came through yet again!!! I wish I lived on Oahu so that he could keep taking pictures of my family for all of our big milestones. Highly recommended!!!

Long story short: Keoni is AMAZING! So happy we decided to go with him for our engagement photos. I can't stop looking at em!
Long story: Keoni is an awesome photographer and person. He made an awkward situation into a fun, chill and laughable one -- and honestly one that I can't wait to do again! Our first location ended up being a dud (we needed to hike and it was a rainy/cloudy day) but he was quick to recommend another spot, which gave us some pretty amazing shots! I would whole-heartedly recommend Keoni - he's talented, laid back, and an overall cool guy to spend some time

We are really impressed with Keoni, his "style," and the quality of his work!
Hiring a photographer is one of the biggest decisions you can make when planning a wedding. We attended a wedding expo and found him there. I'm so grateful we did, because a lot of other photographers' work was sort of dark and cliché. When we happened upon Keoni's booth, we looked at his sample work, and it was the exact ascetic we wanted for our outdoor wedding: bright, happy, modern, fun and romantic!
We hired him right away and worked with him up until the big day on the main things: timing

We booked Keoni for a 1 hour engagement session during our vacation in Oahu and he was awesome! As soon as we booked our session, he provided very helpful recommendations for shooting locations based off the style of photo we wanted. He was also very accommodating when we decided on a location change and continually stayed in communication with us via texts and email.
Leading up to our shoot, my fiancee and I were very nervous yet Keoni was able to make us feel at ease minutes after meeting with his light hearted jokes and laid back attitude. It seriously felt like we were just hanging out with

Keoni is amazing! Very professional and helpful. His photos turned out beautiful and made me feel like I was at my wedding again looking back at all the photos. It started to rain a little while we were doing our photos but he already knew what to do and how to make sure we still looked great even in the rain. Thank you Keoni!

My husband and I came across Keoni's portfolio as one of the wedding photographer recommendations from our coordinator. Both my husband and I loved the style of his photos. We quickly booked Keoni for our Norhtshore beach wedding last October. The process of booking was all done online professionally and efficiently. On the day of our wedding, Keoni and his assistant showed up on time at our wedding. He was friendly and very easy to get along with. I felt very comfortable, and so did my husband, who can get very awkward taking photos, esp with strangers. It felt like Keoni and his assistant were

We know Keoni through a friend, loved the work we had seen on his site and decided to ask him do our engagement photos.
Working with Keoni was easy and enjoyable, he was very professional but laid back at the same time so we felt really comfortable. (We aren't used to taking nice pics, we are more of the hiking pic couple haha). Our engagement photos turned out great so it was a no brainer to have him do our wedding photos as well.
For our wedding we did a nine hour package. He met us at our hotel and did photos of my self and my bridesmaids then my husband and his groomsmen.

We loved working with Keoni and his crew! He was so easy to get along with and he made it less awkward being in front of the camera for me. He took our engagement and wedding photos. They honestly were like family at the wedding. So funny and awesome. I can’t even say enough about them! He was able to work with us on our destination wedding. We love love love the pictures! We feel like he was able to capture who we were and what we wanted. We were speechless when we saw them. Can’t wait to so them off! Don’t hesitate to call Keoni!!

We loved working with Keoni! He was a fantastic photographer, and perfect for our wedding! We get a lot of compliments on our photos. He's really able to adapt to any setting or shot: we have some beautiful ones of my husband and I, some adorable ones of our nephews (the ring-bearers), and a bunch of creative, fun shots that really captured the day. If I had it to do over, I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Keoni came recommended to us by a couple of people, so we hired him for our beach wedding in Hale'iwa. First of all, he was super easy to work with, very flexible, and his prices were extremely reasonable. But price wasn't what we really cared about - we wanted to have great photos to remember our wedding, and as beautiful as the wedding was, we were shocked at how amazing the photos came out. Keoni was amazing - in just a 2 hr shoot, we couldn't narrow down our absolute favorite photos to less than 100 of them. Because of the great photography, the photos of our wedding will always

My husband and I could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding at Cafe Julia at the YWCA. Keoni was extremely hard working and professional, and most importantly for me, kind, patient and FUN! He was also very adaptable, which is helpful on the Big Day, as things don't always turn out as planned or on time. He took us to a few spots he had scouted previously for our first look and pictures with the wedding party. We felt very comfortable and I think that was reflected in our pictures; they turned out beautifully and really captured everyone's personalities. He understood the style

I had the pleasure to work with the team at Kpix and I cannot say enough. They worked with me before the wedding to find the best package and locations for our needs. During the ceremony they captured shots that were not only breathtaking but far from the typical "prom" poses that I see so many of. Following the ceremony we shot in several locations that really completed our wedding portfolio and will adorn our walls for years to come. If you are looking for a great photographer I cannot express a greater endorsement for this team. What a pleasure.

Keoni is one of the most creative photographers we've come across. Best vendor decision of the wedding! He was patient, gracious, and had a silent confidence that made us all feel very comfortable. He managed to get great shots in a variety of different locations and really captured each moment. He got night shots, outside, inside, sunset, low-light, movement, emotional.. he even got a picture of our fire-breather! These guys definitely know their equipment and it seems that no scenario was too tough for them shoot beautifully and with a lot of class. We get to remember our special day through
