My philosophy

Lasting memories through breathtaking, soulful imagery

Romantic couple spinning together on a sandy Hawaiian beach at golden hour near the ocean.
Black and white close-up of a couple sharing an intimate forehead touch.

Your love story is completely unique, and I’m here to capture exactly how it feels—laughing, playful, and maybe a little chaotic (in the best way!). I love the little in-between moments—silly glances, sneaky smiles, the things that make you you. My goal is to make your session feel effortless, fun, and completely yours, so your gallery tells your story like a little cinematic rom-com. Whether we’re running along the beach, revisiting your favorite date spot, or just wandering around laughing, I’ll be there to catch it all. Click to see how we can make your session feel totally you and end up with a gallery you’ll actually love.

Meet the Photographer

Hey there, my name is Rina!

I'm a wedding and portrait photographer, based out of Oahu, Hawaii. I love storytelling and capturing everyday life in a way that others normally wouldn't think to! I'm greatly inspired by everyday life, new scenery, and strive to capture your authenticity through my lens. You'll catch me grabbing a matcha, watching concerts and buying cute table books for inspo!

Camille TIo

My fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Rina for our engagement session, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Even though we tend to be a little camera shy, Rina made us feel completely at ease from the very beginning. Her warm, fun personality created a relaxed atmosphere, turning what could've been an awkward experience into something truly enjoyable. She has a natural talent for capturing genuine moments and bringing them to life in her photos. Rina doesn't just take pictures--she tells your story through her lens. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for not only beautiful photos but a great experience from start to finish.

"Rina photographed our engagement shoot and our wedding and we couldn't be happier with how our photos came out! Her talent for storytelling is truly captivating and her editing style is stunning in every way. My wife and I are pretty camera shy but Rina is so easy-going, she made us comfortable in the spotlight. Rina is easy to work with and so passionate about her craft. If you decide to book a shoot with Rina the only problem you'll have is choosing which photos to frame. She's amazing!"

"Rina did a family session with me, my husband and our 10 week old son. She was so accommodating, patient and fun to work with. We got our pictures back quickly and loved them all! We will definitely be coming back when we need more family Pictures!"

kara G.

"My friends and I had a graduation shoot with Rina and we had tons of fun! As someone who doesn't really know how to pose, I was very grateful Rina was there to guide me. She has a very welcoming personality and pays close attention to details, from evening out our stoles to the hair ties on our wrists. She was also very accommodating with specific poses that we want/didn't want and tried to make it happen for us. Attached I have some of my favorite photos from our shoot, which we also got back in a timely matter. I would love to work with Rina again in the future :)"
