HNL Studios - Honolulu, Hawaii

Brenda Cannon

There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing HNL Studios are. They really worked hard to bring the best in what they do! First conversation with Keshia was light and friendly, she’s very sweet and she listens to every detail as I was picturing how our wedding will look like. I wanted a beach wedding, sunset in the background and walk on the sand while my husband and I hold hands! Charles followed through on everything he said he would do. Brianna on the other hand is very pleasant, and has a magical way of finding the perfect angle and expressions. Great photographers to work with! Best photographers we’ve ever hired. HNL Studios showed on time, and when it was time to work they wasn’t joking, they was on it. We knew we made the right choice in hiring HNL Studios to cover our wedding when all our guests can’t wait to come and take photos with us all smiles @ the camera, they also enjoyed the Photo Booth showing all their moves. Thank you HNL Studios for making us and our guests enjoyed the night. Hands Down! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Magical! We were so honored and blessed to not only work with them for our wedding day, but for our engagement shoot as well! The entire team is full of genuine, talented people. They were the best vendors to work with - informative and quick to respond. They take great pride in capturing the vision that a couple has. You will not be disappointed. Thank God we found them! Thanks again HNL for being a part of our special day!

We worked with Charles and his team for our engagement photos, wedding photos, wedding videography, and photobooth. They made the planning process for the photo portion quite smooth. On the day of our wedding, they helped make us feel comfortable, we were able to enjoy all the moments without feeling rushed, and JJ, Zeb, and the team were super accommodating to changes and surprises along the way. Overall we were very pleased with our photos and loved how the video highlight got a little bit of everything of our wedding day. The team was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to work with. We would recommend them to our family and friends!

HNL Studios was by FAR our favorite wedding vendor to work with. From our very first conversations, they made sure that we were a good fit and put all of our pandemic wedding planning questions at ease. Through a year and a half of planning, including once rescheduling, they were there with us every step of the way. We really appreciated how helpful Keshia was in communicating with us. She even helped us with recommendations for other vendors, like our day of coordinator and our DJ/MC. We loved them so much that we ended up scheduling a second engagement shoot just to have the opportunity to work with them more. Charles and JJ were so fun to work with, and their directions put us at ease. It can be so awkward to pose for formal photos, and Charles gave us prompts and direction that helped really show our personality. You can actually see how much we are in love. They turned around preview images of our wedding within only 3 days, so we had something to share with our families and friends via social media and email. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos. Our guests absolutely LOVED our Photo Booth and had so much fun. They even customized our photo booth photo layout so that it matched my wedding stationary. Their pricing and payment methods were fair and honest, and worked well within our budget. Every single detail they handled was perfect. If you need a wedding photographer and/or photo booth, we cannot recommend HNL Studios enough. Thank you Charles, Keshia, JJ, Romeo, and the whole HNL Studios team for really making our wedding as stress free and special as possible. LOVE YOU GUYS!

HNL Studios surpassed my highest level of expectation for any photographer! From beginning to end, they have been nothing short of amazing. I appreciate the quick response to our inquiry, making it easy for us to book around our busy schedules. From Charles taking the time to speak to my husband to get a better understanding of what we were looking for in our photos, before the actual photoshoot. We sent him some pictures of what we were interested in and he was able to find us a beautiful location. The great communication between my husband, Charles, and Keisha, made it that much easier the day of our shoot. The most awkward part of any shoot is not knowing what to do, but Charles made sure to keep it fun, guided us every step of the way, and basically lead this photoshoot to complete success. We couldn't be more satisfied with the quality of their work and our overall experience with him and his team. We're obsessed with how amazing our photos turned out!! Definitely recommending them to all the couples we know and we look forward to working with them in the future. Again, THANK YOU HNL STUDIOS!!!

HNL Studios was wonderful to work with! They were very responsive, friendly and a true talent. We hired them for our wedding, and every interaction was thoughtful and professional. They made our planning extremely easy and fun. We were also truly happy with the amount of options included in one package (photography, videography, DJ, Emcee, photo booth, drone footage, and more). Keshia, our amazing point of contact, Romeo, our outstanding DJ, and the entire team were complete rockstars. We are very excited to see the rest of their work within the coming weeks and months. And we would highly recommend them to everyone!

Newly engaged You've come to the right place if you're reading this review! Charles and his team are AMAZING!!

I booked them for my upcoming wedding and got the package that includes an engagement shoot. Keshia was so helpful since the very beginning. She is always checking on me to see if there's anything I need help with and with this pandemic, there have been many changes in plans for my wedding. 🙁 But, HNL has been SUPER understanding and helpful.

My fiance and I took our engagement photos in January and we LOVE how our photos turned out! It was exactly what I wanted and they captured both us and the beautiful scenery perfectly! I love that we get to know them (and vice versa) before the big day so we could both get comfortable around one another. My fiance and I have never taken professional photos before so it was a bit awkward at first but, after HNL explained the different poses, it was a breeze!

Charles and Nikki are super down to earth and easy to work with. They are dedicated to their work and are passionate about what they do. When I told them where I wanted to take my engagement photos, they went there beforehand to scope it out since they had never been there before. Now that's dedication & service!

I can't wait for them to be at my wedding! I just know they will do an amazing job at capturing all the right moments!

HNL Studios was one of the first photography companies that we met when we were first starting out. I remember being so impressed with their work ethics and photos. If you look at each photo, you can tell that they spend a lot of time adjusting them to perfection. They set the standard high for our venue and still do to this day.
