Hi, My Name's Rina.

Hawaii Wedding & Couples Photographer


I'm so glad that you're here!

I’m a Hawaiʻi wedding and couples photographer inspired by the rom-com films we grew up loving—capturing you in your moment across Oʻahu and beyond. I strive to capture THE moment: the laughter, the quiet glances, and all the in-between moments that make your connection unforgettable. We’re here to take beautiful photos, yes—but also to have a great time and create memories you’ll look back on fondly.

Why I love capturing LOVE

One of the best feelings in the world.

Growing up, I always found myself gravitating toward rom-com films and TV shows. I was on the K-drama train before it was “cool” — the classic gateway shows like Boys Over Flowers, To the Beautiful You, and The Heirs. Of course, I loved the Western classics too: Love Actually, The Proposal, Pretty Woman, She’s All That, The Notebook — and you already know I watched every Disney princess animation.


I’ve always been drawn to stories that show how two completely different people can come together — the good, the bad, and everything in between. So if you told me ten years ago that I’d grow up to be a photographer creating my own version of art to represent love, I would’ve been genuinely surprised.


I feel incredibly lucky that I fell into this path and even luckier that I’ve been trusted to capture so many people’s love stories along the way.

Your Love Story, Cinematically Told

What to Expect From Your Session

I love creating galleries that feel like a unique rom-com film, with fun, loud moments mixed with quiet, still ones. And if that’s not exactly your vibe? No worries—we’ll figure out what feels right for you! Whether it’s chasing each other along the beach, revisiting your first date spot, or taking a stroll through a park together, we’ll make it happen. You’re the stars, and I’m your producer/director (don’t worry—it won’t feel like a production).

From our first chat to the final gallery, I’m here to make your experience effortless, fun, and authentic. I ask thoughtful questions about your relationship—as deep as you want to go—to ensure your session feels truly like you. I’ll get you genuinely laughing and moving, capturing your love in action and motion.

 

Let’s Create Your Story Together

If laughter, love, and a little adventure sound good to you, we’re going to get along perfectly—and I can’t wait to create a session that feels like your own rom-com, capturing all the magic, the quiet moments, and everything in between in a gallery you’ll treasure forever.
