Wedding Photography
by Ikaika Pidot
With a passion for capturing the essence and emotion of your special day, my wedding photography services on the stunning island of Kauai are crafted to reflect the unique beauty of each celebration.
As someone who has been shooting weddings since 2015, I understand that your wedding day is a culmination of dreams, emotions, and shared promises. My approach to wedding photography is not just about taking pictures; it's about creating an artistic portrayal of your love story. From the intimate exchanges to the grand celebrations, I am dedicated to preserving every cherished moment, ensuring that the essence of your day is captured in a way that resonates with you for a lifetime.
As your visual storyteller, I am committed to delivering not just photographs but a curated collection of memories that will become a cherished part of your family's history. Join me on a journey where each frame tells a tale, and every image captures the beauty of your unique love.
Every wedding is unique and different, so before your wedding day I not only work directly with you on direction, shot lists, and timeline, but I also work directly with any planners or vendors to make sure all photography on your big day is streamlined, stress-free, and beautiful.
On this page you will learn more about my wedding photography services, what to expect when working together, and a step-by-step guide to booking your unforgettable experience. Your story begins here, and I would be honored to be the one to tell it through the artistry of my lens.

Documenting Details
A perfect wedding is an accumulation of hundreds of details, and I make sure I don’t miss a thing for the entire event.
What To Expect.
Pre-Wedding Consultation
I want to know your vision of the perfect wedding, so I would like to spend some time via zoom or phone to hear from you on what you are looking for in a photographer, as well as any details about the event.
Tailored Packages:
Every event is unique, so every package should also be unique. 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. What I mean by that is 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. Before the event, I will work with you on shot lists, mood boards, or anything else to help me understand your vision. If you prefer I don’t create any of those things, that’s totally fine too :) My goal is to prepare myself as much as I can before the event without causing you any unnecessary stress or extra work.
The Experience.
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 wedding 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.
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 wedding coverage, I guarantee delivery within 15 business days.
Step-by-Step Guide To Booking Process
-
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.
-
Once a standard or customized package has been chosen,I will send instructions on putting down a deposit to book the date of the event, as well as contracts for my services.
-
I have found it extremely 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. We will also talk about shot lists and mood boards (if desired) so I can begin the process of building those for you to edit.
If you prefer to have a consultation or a quick intro call anytime before this, I’d be happy to do so as well.

We loved Ikaika's work during our wedding on Kauai! He's a very warm and genuine person, which made us feel comfortable from day one. We wanted a photographer who helped us look like us (not overly filtered or distorted) and that's what Ikaika is great at. Looking back on our photos, they perfectly tell the story of our special day. Our family and friends are also so happy with how the photos came out! Would highly recommend Ikaika's photography.

Reisha M.
I cannot recommend Ikaika highly enough. He photographed our elopement last month and the photos were perfect. They were golden and dreamy and gorgeous. He was professional, flexible when our plans changed, and got the pictures back to us a week earlier than promised. I turned one photo into an announcement and my friend said ‘I honestly think this is the best wedding picture I have ever seen.

Ikaika is an awesome photographer. He shot photos of our Kauai wedding and the photos came out better than I could have ever imagined! He has a very relaxed energy so you don’t feel self conscious or worried when he takes your photos. He has a great eye and is a very hard worker. He returns the photos back to you super quick which is a huge plus!
