Nicole was great! As a native of Hawaii, she suggested wonderful places and backdrops for us to take our engagement photos. She was great at giving directions and communicating so she could take the best shots.

The sun did not cooperate with us, but she made the best of the situation and captured us at our best.

We would highly recommend Nicole if you are in need of a professional photographer while in Oahu!!!-Jeff DView Photographer profile
Charina made our surprise proposal so magical. The photoshoot was amazing, and the pictures were perfect. Charina did an amazing job and helped out a lot with my proposal plan also. The sunrise on Kahala Beach was so beautiful.-CharinaView Photographer profile
Thank you so much for the wonderful pictures and your fantastic work!!

I would love to do another photo session with Charina whenever I travel back to Hawaii!-KarenView Photographer profile
Nicole did a great job. I had very little faith in my ability to photo well, but she somehow made it happen. I always had faith in my fiancé. She looked great.

She helped us capture our special moment, and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks, Nicole. You were great.-DanielView Photographer profile
We had a last minute photoshoot with Charina in Oahu. She was very professional and took amazing pics for us.

This was our first ever photoshoot and the instructions she gave were detailed and got the best out of us. I would recommend her highly.-ShadabView Photographer profile
Nicole was a phenomenal photographer. Not only did she take spectacular photos, but she answered all of my questions and made this experience and my proposal run as smoothly as possible.

I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Nicole for your work!-BrianView Photographer profile
Nicole is excellent. Not only does she take beautiful photos - she helped my honey set up his entire proposal to be captured. She recommended a local beach and was texting with him the whole day to prepare and answer any questions he had. She also helped him by providing a beautiful tropical bouquet. She captured our proposal noninvasively, and now we have that moment captured forever!!! We then had an hour long engagement shoot where she took us around to different parts of the park and got tons of sweet organic shots. She captured our authentic joy, love, and authenticity, and I’m so grateful! 10/10 would recommend!!-Jon & KateView Photographer profile
Charina was a great photographer for my surprise proposal! She worked with us on such short notice and the photos came out amazing.-TonyView Photographer profile
Charina,

You were simply amazing. The photos are stunning. Thank you for your patience, and kindred spirit.

We appreciate you,
The Johnson Family💜-EbonyView Photographer profile

I’m so grateful she was a part of our special moment.-CaseyView Photographer profile

Is Castillo de Colomares worth visiting? ⁣
⁣
Absolutely, yes! 😎✨⁣
⁣
Tucked away in Benalmádena, this fairytale-like monument looks like it’s been plucked straight out of a storybook. Built in honor of Christopher Columbus, the castle is a mix of Gothic, Romanesque, Byzantine, and Mudejar styles—all blending together into one jaw-dropping masterpiece.⁣
⁣
It’s not just about history, though. Every corner is a photo op, from intricate stone details to dreamy turrets that feel like a set from a fantasy film. Add sweeping sea views, and you’ve got the perfect mix of culture, romance, and magic.⁣
⁣
So, if you’re looking for a unique and photogenic spot in Costa del Sol, Castillo de Colomares is a must.⁣
