Just married - post ceremony shoot at Kualoa Ranch. How they were madly in love was easy to tell even with this hand shot from how they gently hug each other. Becca and Elliott's elopement wedding at Papailoa Beach in the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. Family is all - They have decided to tie their knot at the exact the same venue as his parents got married at.
Haiku Gardens with beautiful nature of Hawaii welcomed them to the "team married". We went on a drive from Palm Springs to Salten Sea, and stopped at this abandoned drive-in theater in the middle of the desert. Epic location for a stylish couple from Japan. Very fortunate to be able to photograph at one of my dream location.

Kay was our photographer for our engagement shoot in Hawaii. The entire experience was amazing and I recommend her to anybody who is looking for the best photos. She is very detail oriented and will make sure the pictures come out beautiful, natural and unique. We loved working with Kay and could not be happier with the photo album.

Kay was absolutely amazing! After searching many photographers for our destination wedding I came across her work and knew she was the one. From our first conversation to communication on Instagram she was always there for me. Everyone loved her energy and makes you feel so comfortable! She sent over highlight photos the day after our wedding and they were amazing! We cannot wait to see the rest of them! You will not regret hiring this wonderfully talented woman!

We had already planned a vacation in Hawaii (Oahu to be exact) since we were vaccinated and things were finally opening up in May. Just a couple of days prior to leaving, my now husband surprised me, and made made arrangements to get married while we were there. I could not believe that everything was arranged as to the license, beach location and officiant. The only stumbling block was finding a photographer. My husband talked to our Officiant about the difficulties we were having finding someone (used Weddings of Hawaii) that was not exorbitant to the point of gouging. Our Officiant recommended

Kay is AMAZING! Our wedding package included an hour of engagement photos which turned out amazing and we used them for our save the dates. We just got our sneak peek photos from our wedding and they look so so so good.
We got married in Hawaii and loved her so much that we hired her to photograph our local reception in California. The fee for her services were comparable or cheaper than local CA photographers. I asked her why that is and she said she loves to travel so she adjusts her prices accordingly so she can travel.
She was one of the easiest vendors to work with, especially when we had

Where do we start?!?!.....Kay is such an amazing person to work with, so easy going and definitely makes the photo session fun. My husband and I, have had the pleasure of working with her twice; once in Japan for our engagement shoot and then just recently for our maternity shoot. She's always trying to find the best spots, angles, and locations for that perfect picture you're looking for. We highly recommend Kay for photography needs!

This is everything I can ask for and beyond from a photographer. She was there on time patiently waiting for me while I was lost. Showing us all the posts that my husband was able to follow with a smile. Prior to our meeting, take the time out of her busy schedule researching where there will be a good spot to capture the most beautiful sunset for that day. We are very pleased with the natural results. We will definitely have Kay do our next photos session when we have a family with children.

Kay was my dream wedding photographer! She was so sweet and made my husband and I feel so special. Our elopement was just the two of us, so it was really nice to work with someone as caring and attentive as Kay. I’m beyond happy with our photos and I highly recommend her for all your photo needs!

Kay was wonderful to work with. She slowed down our crazy, hectic and frantic day to make things easy, enjoyable and relaxing for us. Her and her team accommodated all of our needs, acted very professionally, and was the least bit intrusive. They did not put us into situations we'd be uncomfortable with but pushed us enough to get us the perfect memories of the day. Most importantly the photos were just the best we could ever have hoped for.

We booked Kay Salera Photography for our wedding in Okinawa, Japan in October 2019, and this was undoubtedly one of the best decisions we made. First and foremost, communication was quick and thorough. Being unfamiliar with wedding photography ourselves, Kay was friendly and always willing to help clarify any uncertainties we had. Further, when we mentioned that we were also considering hiring a videographer, Kay went the extra step to provide us with numerous recommendations, all tailored to the style and budget we were looking for.
On the day of the wedding, Kay’s presence proved invaluable

She is an amazing photographer with creativity! She normally does wedding photography but this time we did just for my portrait at the beautiful beach in Honolulu (Hawaii) before sunset. I was a bit nervous in the beginning to do the photo shoot as I haven't done much in the past but she knows what she is doing for sure that eventually I could relax and enjoy the shoot. She chose the beach with less people which I thought was rare for the area so close from Waikiki. I'd want to do it at the different locations sometime in near future!
