I will start by saying if you do anything at all, BOOK THESE TWO. Keani & Brad are so insanely talented - but even more importantly, they are incredible people and we consider them friends now! We can't recommend them enough and couldn't be happier that they stood by us through 4 wedding postponements!! Keani and Brad are so chill and made us feel so at ease and comfortable on our wedding day and throughout the entire process leading up to it. They made us laugh and took all the nervousness and pressure off us - which was amazing because we love the "candid" style. Also Side note - when our wedding was postponed 4x (like many others) - each time they called and checked-in on us, offered extra help in whatever they could do, and were so patient and understanding. They also talked through all of our questions (a million times) and helped brainstorm new creative entry/exit ideas while sending us tons of recommendations. When we flew in a week early before our wedding from NYC (where we live) they took the time to grab coffee with us and to talk everything through again. If we had more time there we would have made them hang out with us more! We love them so much and could not recommend them more. We will definitely be using them again for our next big event! They are truly THE best decision we made throughout the whole process!

Book Keani and Brad for your wedding. You won’t regret it. We are incredibly grateful to have had Keani and Brad photograph our wedding day (and pre-wedding shoot). From the first moment we met them, they were incredibly warm and friendly, and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. When we didn’t know what to do with our bodies, they knew how to give direction in a way that felt organic and natural. It felt like having old friends we had known a long time photographing us. They were also able to adapt to unexpected situations. Our wedding started later than we had planned, which compressed our timeline. Keani and Brad knew that photos were important to us, and were masterfully able to guide us through the must-have portraits (e.g. family photos) so that we had more time for the couple’s / sunset photos. Somehow, they were able to get the shots without making us feel rushed or overly-staged. We got sneak peeks of our wedding photos back recently, and they are incredible!! They made us look like celebrities in a wedding magazine. The were able to freeze the special moments we had together, and capture the spirit of our relationship. In addition, they beautifully photographed all the wedding details that we spent months thinking about - their photos will help us re-live our wedding day for years to come. Keani and Brad - thank you for being part of our wedding day. You guys are rockstars!! We are so lucky that we had you as part of our team throughout this process!

I cannot begin to explain how much we loved working with Keani and Brad! As soon as I found Keani’s Instagram and saw her work, I knew we had to have them shoot our special day. I was immediately obsessed with her entire aesthetic and was excited to have our wedding photos come out looking exactly like the kind of photos she creates. Keani and Brad are pros! They are not only punctual and organized but beyond that, they are extremely cool and make the whole experience very human. My husband and I met Keani and Brad early on in the process and immediately formed a strong friendship, which made shooting with them on our wedding day extra special and comforting. During the pandemic, my husband and I had a private ceremony with just the two of us, which Brad officiated while Keani shot the whole thing. It was incredibly intimate, and we'll always have special memories of that special day with just the four of us. Then, about a year later, once COVID restrictions were lifted and our visa process was underway following the first private ceremony, Keani and Brad shot our full family wedding, where yet again they proved themselves invaluable to us in making our day truly magical. Not only do we have them to thank for marrying us and shooting two of our weddings, we have beautiful photos to cherish and lifelong friends! My husband and I are already excited to go back to Hawaii just to hang out with them!

Ah where do I begin?! Choosing Keani and Brad as our wedding photographers was hands down one of the best and easiest decisions we made for our big day! One of the things that struck us most about Keani and Brad was their genuine interest in getting to know us as a couple. They took the time to understand our story, our personalities, and what mattered most to us about our wedding day. This personal touch translated into the most beautiful and authentic photographs. Oh my goodness, the final photographs exceeded all our expectations! What truly sets Keani and Brad apart is their innate talent for making the entire photography experience feel natural and fun! They guided us through poses with such ease that it never felt forced or staged. Instead, it felt like we were just enjoying a day out with friends, laughing and making memories, while they worked their magic behind the lens. If you're looking for photographers who are not only incredibly talented but also personable, friendly, and able to make the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable, look no further than Keani and Brad! They are simply the best, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had them be a part of our special day. Thank you, Keani and Brad, for not only being phenomenal photographers but also for being wonderful humans. We were looking for wedding photographers and ended up with lifelong friends!

To say we are OBSESSED with both Keani and Brad and their work would be an understatement. As a California bride, the thought of choosing a photographer for our destination wedding was a bit nerve-racking. But after taking a look at Keani's website and social pages, we immediately had to book them! Keani and Brad were our first vendor that we booked, more than 1.5 years out because we loved their work that much and were confident they were our perfect wedding vendor match! Also, husband and wife duo?! Can that be any cuter?! Our professional relationship quickly turned into a friendship after getting to meet them in-person. We had an instant connection, and it made our big day feel like we were just hanging out with our good friends (who just happened to be taking our photos all day). They made our whole bridal party and family feel comfortable, took the time to know us and our loved ones. Gave great direction, but never felt micro-managed. Captured literally everything (even the smallest details - TY!) And honestly, our photos speak for themselves. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer, both on the islands or even flying them out to the mainland :)
