Best Turnaround Time, Guaranteed:
I always strive to go the extra mile for my clients. Unlike the industry norms, I guarantee not only top-notch photography, but you also have my word that I will be available for consultation whenever you need. Plus, with any package, I guarantee delivery within 15 business days.
Professionalism Every Step Of The Way.
From scouting locations to coordinating with vendors to developing inspiration boards with you, I work to make sure I’m seamlessly in the right place at the right time to capture each moment so you can simply enjoy your special day. I have a very calm demeanor, a strong work ethic, and an innate ability to work intimately with small or large groups. By working closely with you and all involved, I will not provide any unnecessary hassle, uncertainty, or stress, guaranteed.
Where Experience Meets Local Knowledge
After shooting over 600 groups all around Kauai, I have learned how to get the best photos in all conditions. If you are not used to being in front of the camera, I will gladly guide you through movements and poses to create authentic scenes along Kauai’s beautiful backdrops. I also understand weather patterns along the coast and mountains well, making sure we capture the best photos we can during our session.
What To Expect.
Pre-Booking Consultation
I want to know your vision for our photo session, so if you would like we can spend some time via zoom, phone, or email so I can understand what you are looking for in a photographer, as well as any details about the event.
Photo Packages Available:
Choose which proposal photo package is right for your vision. I also understand that every event is unique, so if you are envisioning an event outside of a traditional model, I’d be happy to customize packages to meet your unique needs and preferences.
Collaboration:
I want to make sure you receive the photos you want, taken in the way you want them to. If you are someone who wants direction, I will happily guide you through poses and movements. If you prefer to not pose, I will position myself throughout the event to capture candid, authentic moments. My goal is to prepare myself as much as I can before the event without causing you any unnecessary stress or extra work.

To begin the process, please fill out the form on my contact page or write me an email. Please include tentative event date, general guest count, and a little info about the two of you and your vision of the evening.

Upon receiving an inquiry from you, I will send over a price sheet detailing process and package information. If none of these packages are quite what you are looking for, I’d be happy to build a custom package based on your needs.

I have found it valuable for me to get to know my clients a little bit before their big day, so via zoom, phone, or in person, I’d like to chat with you about your vision for the event, as well as other needs or preferences you may have.
If you prefer to have a consultation or a quick intro call anytime before this, I’d be happy to do so as well.

Ikaika captured beautiful photos of my family while we were on Kauai for my parent’s 40th wedding anniversary, which was no easy feat with 14 people, including 4 kids until 8 yo! He was patient and made everyone feel relaxed during the photoshoot. He was also very timely with the delivery of the photos. I highly recommend hiring him to capture your next special moment.

There are many options in Kauai for family photographers but I was drawn to the artistic style of Ikaika. Even though we were located in the south shore and he is based in the north shore. He was accommodating to travel to us. In his portfolio, there were many candids as well as posted photos with great use of natural light. He was easily accessible by email and phone, and we really appreciated his flexibility in working with our schedule while trying to book a time that would work for all of us. We were two families with 3 kids under the age of 10 and 1 infant. He was patient, kind and flexible. Great qualities needed for working with kids. We also requested certain shots with different members of the families and he was happy to fulfill our requests. We are happy with our photos and how they turned out. I highly recommend Ikaika to anyone who appreciates beautiful photos taken by an amazing photographer.
