Photography By Hanakapi'ai

Aloha, and welcome to Photography by Hanakapi'ai! I'm Hanakapi'ai, and I am thrilled to share my love for photography with you. I am a proud local of the beautiful island of Kaua'i, where I was born and raised. I spent my childhood exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Kaua'i - from the lush green jungles to the exotic sandy beaches. I left the island for college in California and later returned with my incredible husband and five adorable children.

My passion for photography started when I had my first child, fifteen years ago. With the memory of a goldfish, I wanted to preserve the precious moments of my child's growth. Thus, my learning journey of camera and photography began. When my husband started receiving frequent requests to officiate wedding ceremonies, I jumped at the opportunity to capture the couples' special moments and further developed my photography skills.

A visit from a college friend, who is one of California's top photographers, helped me take my photography to new heights. She taught me the art of turning photos into magic, and here I am, offering my services to capture your special day.
