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
