About Me

As your Filipino Best Friend,

I understand the hesitations that can come with selecting vendors for your wedding day.

I’ve been in the position of feeling wary about entering into a high-pressure sales environment with vendors, unsure about their process, and honestly seeking a genuine connection with the vendor.

I aim to build lasting relationships like trusted friendships that go beyond just a transaction.

This is precisely why I chose to pursue a career in professional wedding photography. My wedding photography aims to emphasize the importance of showing your treasured photographs within your homes.

During my upbringing, the absence of any personal or familial pictures in my own home was quite noticeable. The circumstances surrounding my parents’ separation and their hectic professional lives resulted in limited interactions between us.

I want every family to have photos in their homes to remind them of the love they share despite their busy lives.
My Company Details

I Prefer Vibrant Colors

Vibrant colors have the incredible power to evoke strong emotions and create a sense of excitement and joy.

As a Honolulu Wedding and Intimacy Photographer, my ultimate goal is to capture the essence of love and celebrations perfectly shown through vibrant hues. The vivid pops of color in your love story adds an extra layer of energy, making them visually striking and memorable.

After all, love is not color-blind. In the world of gray devoid of vibrant hues that is dull and uninteresting, you sought color in the form of your partner and is the most beautiful masterpiece spoken into existence by God. Love is not color-blind; love allows you to see.

Edmar was the best! We had such a fun time. And he made it super easy with signing & releasing photos and was very professional. Photos came out amazing! he is very talented and I’d definitely do another photo session again. We love how they turned out.
Tiffany R.
During the photo shoot, he was kind, patient, and adaptable. And, he provided effective tips on posing and positioning. This all helped me feel much more comfortable because posing is already awkward in itself and the weather conditions weren’t the best on that particular day. I was also impressed with his lighting equipment! Given the time of the day we were shooting, it made such a difference in my photos.
Tina N.
Edmar did a great job breaking down the process for me, showing the theme, doing multiple meet ups prior to the day of the shoot, helping with posing so I would be prepared ahead of time. He also made it clear he was available for any questions or concerns.
I think it’s very obvious Edmar is very passionate about what he does, and that was very apparent the day of the photo shoot when you could see his excitement in setting up everything as the day went on. He created a very fun and welcoming environment!
