If you’re considering using Keani and Brad, this is your sign! DO IT! You won’t regret it! We can’t say enough great things about them! We live in California and planned our destination wedding in O’ahu. I literally searched the entire island for someone who captured emotion, moodiness and richness in tone. The one thing I would never settle for anything but the best was our photographer! We finally stumbled across Keani’s work and immediately had our planner contact her. We scheduled an engagement shoot a year prior. We flew out and showed up to their recommended spot and we all became friends immediately! It isn’t always comfortable being lovey dovey in front of strangers, but they made us feel right at home, gave us great direction and captured our love beautifully! This was a little taste of what was to come. Our wedding photos — there aren’t words to express our love for the work they’ve done. I wish I could just attach all of the photos to let them speak for themselves. We are seriously blown away and moved by all of the images and get to cherish our big day that was perfectly captured forever and for generations to come. We are so grateful for all of the love they put into their work and for our new found friendship!
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 :)

Let’s start here: “I can tell we are already going to be friends” a true snippet from our initial phone conversation/consultation. Keani and Brad are magnetic, your first conversation feels like you’ve known them forever, they immediately walk you through their photography packages and process with ease and understanding. Listening to who you are and what you are looking for and in our case, we were two people who weren’t quite sure what we needed but we knew the style of photography was up our alley- little did we know it was going to be the most MAGICAL EXPERIENCE (second to our wedding of course). Their style is unmatched, they float around a wedding effortlessly and feel so warm and loving they feel like a guest, you practically want to invite them to sit down and have drinks! We both felt so comfortable with them, especially my husband who hates taking photos! It was truly a gift to share this experience with Keani + Brad. Every shot is executed with such detail, the final result is breathtaking and brings you to tears. This duo, professional, timely, personable, soulful, truly artists of their craft who will not let you down. They love what they do and you see it across all the weddings they’ve shot. I’ll leave this here, seeing their Instagram makes me jealous of all the other couples,
I just want to work with them all over again. Can’t wait to renew our vows ;)

Keani + Brad were the perfect duo to capture our wedding day! From the moment we booked them I (the bride) was excited to work with them! They were so personal from booking, by connecting with me via phone instead of back and forth on email (it really made the difference)! My only regret with them is NOT adding on videography! If you’re thinking about it, DEFINITELY DO IT!
Blew my expectations out of the water! My husband and I are so lucky we found Keani and Brad to photograph our wedding. We eloped in Maui with just our parents and siblings present. They helped with locations, hair and makeup recommendations (Amelia Hair and Makeup), florist recommendations (Bella Blume), and even honeymoon recs! Anything we needed they had suggestions. I don’t consider myself photogenic and they helped us pose naturally. Our photos came out better than we ever could have hoped for. If you are in need of a photographer on the islands, def check them out! We can’t wait to someday shoot with them again.
