Jolene helped make my proposal photos so perfect!!!! She got all the right angles, guided us in posing, and showed us all the ideal spots to take pics. Super easy to talk to and clearly passionate about her work. If you're looking for a photographer (esp for surprise proposals), I highly recommend!!!!!

Very friendly, and great communication. Jolene made my surprise proposal easy. Quick to reply to any questions via email. Provided clear and easy instructions on getting to the location for the surprise. She also picked the perfect location for the sunrise because the pictures came out looking perfect. She had us do many fun poses and also captured specific shots that I requested her for. Everything went perfectly with her.

Jolene was wonderful!
She helped me plan my proposal to my now fiance. Giving me a range of location options along with the pros and cons of each made the planning experience far simpler. She also helped me choose a restaurant for a romantic dinner afterwards.
The quality of the photos she took were wonderful and she promptly sent us pics that we were able to use for social media and to send to family. She guided us through different poses and ensured that we would be able to cherish the moment for years to come.
I would highly recommend Jolene and would definitely hire her for photography

It was good quality work and communication virtually during covid times. Jolene proposed multiple locations for video shoot, which were very scenic. Initially, we didn't like some of the shots and clips for my proposal theme, however, Jolene and her crew successfully completed all the follow up activities for any video and photo edits, very good work.

Jolene was amazing in helping me to not only set up a fantastic surprise proposal but also capturing the moment perfectly. Having not spent much time on Oahu, I had a lot of questions and concerns and Jolene had answers and solutions. She sent me a walk-through video on how to get to the location of the surprise proposal, including where to park etc ( I had never been there!). She made sure I was fully prepared, which my nervous self appreciated greatly. The day of my proposal everything went according to plan. My fiancée was definitely shocked! I didn't even look around for Jolene to make

Jolene is beyond amazing! I hired Jolene for a surprise engagement in Poipu a few days ago and she could not have been more perfect - she was extremely professional, very sociable + fun, and the photos are spectacular!
From the time I first reached out to her all the way to the shoot, she was very accommodating and always quick to respond to make sure everything was perfect. I had to adjust the time of the proposal the day before and she was able to accommodate the time change with no problem.
Privacy was something that was really important to me, so on the day of the shoot Jolene got to the

I hired Jolene to take my wedding photos at Waialae Beach, and I'm so glad I did! She was quick to respond to my emails and checked in with me a few days beforehand. She arrived early and braved the wind (so much hair in the face), rain and short attention spans of my two dogs!
She is amazing; I was so impressed with her suggestions, from where to hold the ceremony, to the poses (and being that I am not very adept to having my picture taken, she even showed me where to put my hands, etc.) and she is so patient and kind, so it felt like a friend was behind the camera; very comfortable and

Jolene did such a great job on our wedding photos! Islander Weddings was our wedding planner for our destination wedding and Jolene was booked through them. I was a little nervous about not picking the photographer myself, but I had nothing to worry about! I was able to communicate with Jolene beforehand to come up with a plan for our photography time, and she was very helpful. At the wedding she was easy to work with and took so many amazing photos! Highly recommend her for your destination (or local) wedding!

Jolene was wonderful to work with. She met us in Waimanalo Beach for our wedding pictures. Not only was she on time, she also was excellent on communication and very fun to work with. The pictures turned out beautifully. Everyone loves them. I cannot express how happy and grateful I am to have found Jolene to capture that wonderful day!!

I booked Jolene for my marriage proposal at Lanikai Beach and she was punctual and prompt and consistent with communication. Her photograph skills exceeded my expectations and she even captured my family's reactions. It seemed like there were multiple photographers.
I work for a major tech company that holds numerous events nationally, but Jolene is the best photographer I have worked with by far!
