I believe that authentic photography starts way before the camera
The Experience
I spend a lot of time before your wedding day to get to know you—what your love looks and feels like, what matters most to you, and how you hope your day will unfold.
This is accomplished through multiple virtual or in person meetings to get to know your vision. On your wedding, I approach the day by observing, anticipating, and letting moments fully unfold before I step in. While most of my work leans into candid storytelling, I’ll also be there to guide you through portraits. If you’re not sure what to do with your hands or feel like “you’re not good at posing,” no worries. I’ve got you. My goal is to help you look and feel your best while still keeping the day genuine and full of real moments.

The Investment
Travel is bespoke, just like your wedding. For celebrations beyond the island of O’ahu, I create custom travel quotes that cover airfare, accommodations, and transportation. Inter-island and mainland travel wedding inquiries are always welcome.
Yes! My film cameras (Contax G2 + Fuji GA645) are always at my hip, right alongside my digital (Canon R5 Mark II). While I primarily shoot on digital, film is used intentionally throughout your day to add that signature warmth, texture, and nostalgia. The amount of film is completely customizable and can be tailored to your needs and vision.
Every gallery shot by me is hand edited by me, with deep attention to color, tone, and emotion. You can expect your final gallery within 8-10 weeks of your wedding, with a curated preview of 50 images delivered within the first week.
For full wedding days, I often bring along a trusted second photographer. This is always someone with a trained eye for emotion and detail, professional gear on par with mine, and years of experience. This ensures your story is told seamlessly from every meaningful angle.
So important, and something I take incredibly seriously. Every image is backed up to multiple secure locations immediately after your wedding. Film rolls are stored carefully, hand-checked in TSA, and processed through a trusted professional lab.
This makes me so happy! Begin by reaching out through my inquiry form here. From there, we’ll schedule a consultation to connect, dream, and ensure our visions align. Once we’ve found that perfect fit, a signed contract and a 25% retainer will officially reserve your date.

"Claire was fully invested in capturing the essence of our wedding day with care and intention. Her creativity and attention to detail are extraordinary, and each image tells a story full of emotion. When we saw our photos, we were overwhelmed with gratitude, not just for her incredible talent, but for the heart she put into every shot. I knew I could trust her fully, and she served me as both a vendor and a friend. I can’t recommend her enough—she will forever be the one I trust to capture life’s most precious moments."
"Her creativity and attention to detail are extraordinary"

"Claire is the kind of photographer who instantly makes you feel comfortable—like you’re just hanging out with a friend. She gives great direction when it comes to posing but still keeps everything feeling natural and candid. And her attention to detail is amazing. She catches all the little in-between moments you wouldn’t even think to capture, making every photo feel extra special. Both of our sessions were in the middle of winter, and she was out there with us, smiling through the cold and making sure we got the most beautiful shots. She truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful!"
"She truly went above and beyond"
– Jensen & Drake, 2024
"My husband and I were nervous to choose a wedding photographer as we both don’t love being in front of the camera. However, Claire was absolutely perfect–she captured the most amazing photos while making us feel so comfortable and natural. She was a huge reason the day felt so easy and relaxing. I get emotional looking at our photos, as they perfectly capture how much love we felt on our day."
