Best O‘ahu Photography Spots

O'ahu, the "Gathering Place" of Hawaii, is a photographer's paradise where lush landscapes, vibrant culture, and pristine beaches come together. This island offers a diverse range of photography opportunities, from the stunning surf breaks of the North Shore to the rugged volcanic landscapes of Diamond Head and the tranquil beauty of Hanauma Bay. The rich Hawaiian culture and historic sites, such as Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center, provide fascinating subjects for cultural and historical photography. The vibrant cityscape of Honolulu and the serene beach scenes at Waikiki Beach offer striking contrasts for urban and beachscape shots. Whether you're aiming to frame the natural beauty, cultural heritage, or the tropical vibrancy of O'ahu, this island is a versatile and visually captivating location for photographers looking to capture the unique allure of Hawaii's most populated island.

Charina was amazing and so helpful! She helped me pick the perfect location to propose and had tons of good recommendations that I wouldn't have thought about. She also showed up early and helped us stage all our pictures and poses throughout the shoot. I couldn't have done it without her help.

The pictures turned out great, and I couldn't recommend her more. She edited our pictures and got them back to us much faster than expected. Her communication throughout the entire process was perfect. If you're planning any kind of photoshoot in Oahu, I highly recommend Charina.-TylerView Photographer profile
Nicole did a great job capturing all 13 family members in group and individual family shots. We are very pleased with our photos. Thank you Nicole for a very pleasant experience.

Nicole did a great job keeping me informed about our shoot to help us select a location and time.-LynneView Photographer profile
Kori was fantastic from start to finish. She helped us pick a location since we were unfamiliar with the area.

During the shoot, she helped us figure out how to pose with a few visuals and hung out so we could take photos during the sunset as well.

Highly recommend Kori for your session in Oahu!-JessicaView Photographer profile
Charina was WONDERFUL! She met us in a beautiful location and was on time and professional. She was quick and efficient for a 30-minute family photo session. It was so hard to pick our photos, and I would recommend purchasing more upfront if I did it over again. I am so glad we used Local Lens and Charina! You won't be disappointed!-KimView Photographer profile
Lina was simply amazing! We could not have dreamed of a better photographer to capture our engagement. Brady called her before the shoot to tell her that he planned to propose and Lina helped him execute the most beautiful surprise! Not only did she capture the most gorgeous images, Lina was our hype woman, best friend, and tour guide for the hour we got to spend with her. She was professional but personable, which made the shoot more relaxed and comfortable. She was also able to process our photos in only 5 days! Given the opportunity, we would book her again and again!-Addey & BradyView Photographer profile
We had such an incredible experience with Lina! From the start, she was extremely responsive and detailed in answering all our questions, even providing location options with pros and cons to help us decide. She arrived on time (6:45AM!) and was amazing with our kids, keeping them engaged with fun action shots and even bringing her own bubbles to distract and entertain them. Her ability to direct us on how to move and pose made the entire session so effortless and enjoyable. The photos turned out absolutely stunning—we loved them so much that we ended up purchasing the entire album. Highly recommend working with her!-ViView Photographer profile
Our photos turned out amazing, thanks to Lina! We appreciated how she guided us throughout the photoshoot. Lina is also kind and friendly, and was also very responsive when messaging. Thank you, Lina for the beautiful photos that will remind us of our wonderful Hawaii trip!-KendraView Photographer profile
Nicole was so great! She really captured the beauty of Hawaii for the perfect family photos on our vacation! Highly recommend!-StaceyView Photographer profile
