I had a very unique vision for my “elopement-plus”, and Christian was absolutely amazing from start to finish! She helped us find stunning spots around Kona and knew exactly when to guide us or let us be in the moment. Her warm, friendly presence put everyone at ease, and her creative ideas, like trendy reel video shots and some gorgeous drone footage, were such a bonus. She delivered our gallery even sooner than expected, and every photo was breathtaking.
“Christian has an incredible eye & captured our wedding day beautifully.”
She had a great demeanor with both the young and the old. She retook shots to make sure we got the big wave in the background and delivered the photos in less than a week. There was also no pressure to buy more or less than we wanted. She was very helpful and professional. We couldn’t be happier with the pictures she provided
“She took outstanding pictures at our wedding and went above and beyond.”
Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her. She was on time, prepared and knew where to go and how to direct people. We did a first look shoot, which I really enjoyed and highly recommend because it was a dedicated time for exclusive photos. During the actual ceremony and reception, everyone is distracted and excited to get the party started! So it was really nice to have that more peaceful and intentional time together. She has great advice, so anything that you are unsure of, let her know, and she will guide you in the right direction.
“She brought an air of professionalism, confidence, and love to the experience.”
Every part of your day deserves to be remembered. We can cover it all—first looks, intimate vows, candid reception moments, and the in-between.

Working with Hawaii Adventure Portraits was an incredible experience from start to finish. Their team was professional, fun, and so easy to work with, making our post-wedding portraits truly memorable. Our photographer, Christian, was amazing. She is not only exceptionally talented but also multi skilled, capturing photos, video, and even stunning drone footage all at the same time.
“We ran into the water, got soaking wet, rolled in the sand, and shared the kind of ‘notebook-worthy’ moments you could only dream of.
From the moment we met our photographer, Christian, we felt really comfortable. She was super friendly and warm, which made everything feel relaxed and fun. We had such a hard time picking our favorites because we loved so many! We couldn’t recommend Christian and Hawaii Adventure Portraits enough!
“She got creative with posing, and it felt more like we were all just hanging out and enjoying the moment than doing a formal shoot.
Our day wouldn’t have been the same without her. She was on time, prepared and knew where to go and how to direct people. We did a first look shoot, which I really enjoyed and highly recommend because it was a dedicated time for exclusive photos. During the actual ceremony and reception, everyone is distracted and excited to get the party started! So it was really nice to have that more peaceful and intentional time together. She has great advice, so anything that you are unsure of, let her know, and she will guide you in the right direction.
“She brought an air of professionalism, confidence, and love to the experience.”
