5 out of 5. Recommended by 100% of couples
My wife and I just had our wedding in August with Alan (DAQI) as our photographer. He created such a friendly and comfortable atmosphere and was very flexible throughout the day with changes and photo requests. We could easily tell that he had a lot of experience and that he was genuinely looking to capture the best photos of us and our wedding party. Alan was also very quick at uploading the photos after the wedding, with some of them already available for us to preview the night of. The photos turned out fantastic and we have received so many compliments on them from our friends and family. We are more than pleased with Alan's services and would highly recommend him to any couple looking to capture their special day on camera.
I found Allen on social media and was immediately drawn to the life and energy in his photos. My wedding prep time was very short—just one month—but Allen took everything so seriously and even adjusted his original schedule to accommodate ours. He also recommended an amazing team for the venue, planner, and videographor, so I didn’t have to stress about finding them myself. Every one of his recommendations turned out to be just as professional and talented as he is, and the results were incredible.
On the wedding day, I was a little nervous and didn’t know how to pose, but Allen guided us step by step. He showed us how to look natural and beautiful in front of the camera, and now I understand how those vibrant photos come to life! His eye for aesthetics is fantastic—he knows the best spots, the best angles, and how to capture people at their most flattering. He also has such a warm personality that made the whole atmosphere lighthearted and fun. My family and friends all felt so relaxed and happy, which really shows in the photos.
The turnaround time was unbelievably fast—by the time I got home from Hawaii, he already had the edited photos ready! Not only was he efficient, but the editing style was exactly what I loved.
I feel incredibly lucky to have had Allen as our photographer. If you want beautiful, lively photos and a wonderful experience, I can’t recommend him enough!

We had the absolute best experience with Allen as our wedding photographer in Hawaii! From the very beginning, he brought such great energy and made us feel completely at ease. He knows exactly how to lift the vibe, keep things lighthearted, and capture the natural joy of the day. Instead of forced posing, Allen focused on genuine, happy moments between us and our guests. The photos turned out stunning—full of laughter, love, and real emotion. Every shot feels like it tells a piece of our story. We’re so glad we chose him and would recommend Allen to any couple looking for a photographer who is both incredibly talented and fun to be around.
Allen is incredibly skilled, and you can trust his professionalism 100%. I did a lot of research beforehand, especially since the light in Hawaii is so strong. I looked through many of his photos and saw how well he handles the harsh sunlight, so the pictures never looked overexposed. His style is all about capturing genuine, candid moments, not stiff, perfect poses, which left us with so many touching memories. On our wedding day, Allen was great at getting everyone excited and keeping the energy high. He really became one of the group, and the atmosphere was so fun and lively (he even won a prize in one of our games, haha!). He's also extremely dedicated. Our wedding was packed with events, and he made sure to capture every single moment. He even had his second photographer record a video of our first dance. We highly recommend him!
Choosing Allen as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. His photos are stunning—not just in quality, but in the way they capture the most precious, fleeting moments. Looking through our gallery, I see real laughter, quiet tears, and so many little in-between memories that make the day feel alive again.
Allen has a rare gift for making people feel at ease. He was wonderful with our kids and helped our family and friends feel comfortable enough to relax, be playful, and truly enjoy the moment. When we needed guidance, he gently led us without forcing anything. It felt like he wasn’t just photographing the day, but co-creating it with us.
Beyond his artistry, Allen is simply a joy to work with. His communication is clear and kind, and even when challenges came up on the wedding day, he handled them with professionalism and grace, always finding common ground. His assistant was equally incredible—helping with my dress, supporting my kids, and making sure I felt cared for throughout the day.
What makes Allen’s work stand out is his realistic yet deeply loving style. Every photo feels natural, personal, and uniquely ours. They don’t just look beautiful—they feel like home. We’ll treasure them forever. I couldn’t recommend Allen more highly to any couple looking for a photographer who is both an artist and a true partner on their wedding day.
