Waialua, HI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $5,500

I’m a published fine-art wedding photographer specializing in editorial, destination weddings across Hawaiʻi and California. My work blends cinematic landscapes, film-inspired tones, and genuine, unscripted moments to create timeless imagery that feels both refined and deeply personal. With a calm, unobtrusive approach, I allow couples to fully experience their day while I document both the grand celebrations and the quiet, meaningful details in between. From sun-washed coastal ceremonies to elegant estate weddings, my focus is always on creating photographs that feel as powerful decades from now as they do today.

There are so many great things I can say about Carol. Other than having THE BEST photography skills, Carol has an awesome and fun personality! As a guy, I didn't think I would like posing for pictures. I felt it would be uncomfortable and boring. That was totally not the case! Carol had us do fun poses and she is really funny. She made me feel comfortable and the whole process was easy. I highly recommend Carol!

Award-winning Hawaii wedding photographer captures editorial imagery for the discerning couples appreciating a vibrant and unexpected take on wedding photography. Through artful compositions and thoughtful storytelling, I am to capture not just how your celebration looked, but how it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
I originally found Masha through Zola and was impressed by her editorial style photos. I am so happy that Masha was available to photograph our wedding. She made me feel so comfortable and so gorgeous all day. My husband was nervous about being in front of the camera but she helped guide our posing and he looks very natural in the end result! Photography is a large part of the wedding day and I'm grateful I spent that time with Masha. I am picky about photos since my dad is very passionate about photography, especially film photography. The photos (both digital and the film ones) turned out absolutely incredible. She took both traditional wedding portraits as well as some very dreamy gorgeous editorial-like photos. It's hard to convey how happy I am about the experience. I'm already dreaming about another vow renewal so I can book Masha again!

Hawaii Wedding Film Photographer Megan Charlotte Karbowski

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Waialua, HI

Hi, I’m Megan—a film photographer based on Oʻahu and in Colorado, traveling worldwide. I’m passionate about preserving the magic of weddings through the timeless beauty of analog photography. My work is rooted in honest, artful moments—candid, unscripted, and full of feeling. I love the texture, warmth, and intention that film brings, and I’d be honored to document your day with images that feel both timeless and true.

Megan flew from Oahu to the Big Island to shoot our wedding in Kona back in January and I have only good things to say about her. She was so sweet and easy to work with through the whole process. We met with her on a call before the wedding to discuss our vision and she was able to help me narrow down our packed shot list and schedule for the day. Of course things don't go as planned the day of and she was flexible when we had a few changes during get ready photos. My husband has captured many of our moments on film so it was important to us that we found a photographer who shot film for our wedding photos. Megan did offer to shoot a mix of film and digital but we both agreed that the feel of film was what we were looking for. Megan took such amazing care to capture all the big and little moments from our day. Within a couple weeks Megan delivered over 500 images to us in a digital photo album for us to download. We are overjoyed to have these beautiful images to look back onto for the rest of our lives.

  • Serves Waialua, HI

My name is Amy Lee and I'm excited to share a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Taiwan and later spent four years living in Japan, which is how I became fluent in Mandarin and Japanese besides English. Now based in Hawaii, I'm fortunate enough to call this beautiful place home. When I'm not behind the camera, you can usually find me indulging in one of my many hobbies. I love coffee, snowboarding, and traveling - in fact, my goal is to visit at least two new countries each year! If you're planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement shoot in a far-off destination, count me in.

What can I say except for we are in Love. The entire experience with Amy was 5 stars! Excellent communication, she was flexible with my wedding timeline, and she was able to capture moments that I was not able to see myself. She is friendly, courteous, and professional, worked in sync with our videographer. We have seen our preview photos and they can't be any better. We will be booking her again for future events!

Ashley has been a part of our journey from the engagement to "I do." Leading up to our wedding on the island, Ashley went out of her way to help us with vendors, shipping, and giving us advice on best practices on the island. We are forever grateful for her generosity and willingness to help us even when we weren't there. On the wedding day, Ashley arrived early to make sure everything was how it needed to be for her, but also took time to build bonds with our entire wedding party to make sure they were comfortable. Her way of guiding us through our photos while allowing us to be "ourselves" and feel authentic and comfortable was so natural for her. She was able to capture our love f0r our people and most importantly our love for each other in ways that we are truly blown away by. Every request was met with willingness and a clear vision. Her work prior to arrival was evident, her photos are truly magic, and her timeliness is unmatched. We found a reliable, trustworthy, kind, and generous photographer that has now turned into our Ohana. We are forever grateful for finding her!

Hey there friend! My name is Sunny Golden and I'm a wedding photographer based on Oahu, HI! I'm all about getting to know each other and making your photography experience not-so-intimidating! I'm not here to put you into some cookie-cutter, stiff poses. You are WAY too unique for that! I'm about letting you love each other the way you do best and encouraging genuine interaction. My goal is come alongside couples, listen to who they are and what's important to them. So I can then capture their special day in a way that that is meaningful to them. Not just generic and typical. I want this is be the very best for YOU!!!

Sunny was recommended to me by my Sister-in-Law after working with her to do maternity photos on Oahu. Sunny was warm and welcoming, she seemed like she really wanted to get to know me and my fiancé. She set up a Zoom call to chat with us and to learn about our love story so she could be sure to capture us in the way(s) in which were important to us. COVID cancelled our original wedding but Sunny was AMAZING. Not only did she work to reschedule with us, but she went above and beyond to let us know that she was there for us through all the stress. She even sent us a small care package to let us know she was thinking of us and cared about us! All of this care before we had even met her face to face!! As a worrier and an over planner Sunny helped me feel calm and confident leading up to the wedding day. Did I mention that Sunny is incredibly talented!?! In addition to her beautiful personality she took the most amazing photos that my husband and I will cherish forever. Neither one of us are used to being in front of the camera and she made us feel so comfortable. She had an awesome vision for our photos and took us to a spot that we had not even thought of. Her creativity is unmatched and we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have Sunny on our wedding team!! <3

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac did a wonderful job photographing our backyard wedding. He did a brilliant job capturing my visions as well as brought ideas of his own. We are very grateful we were able to book Isaac for our wedding, he truly immortalized the day and we have so many beautiful photos to reflect on for the rest of our lives.
