Planning a photoshoot while visiting Hawaii? We know it can feel a little intimidating — especially if it’s your first time being professionally photographed. But don’t worry, we’ve got you!
At 808 Pictures, we’ve worked with thousands of couples, families, solo travelers, and surprise proposals all over Oahu. Our goal is to make your experience fun, easy, and unforgettable — from your very first message to the moment you receive your gallery of gorgeous images.
Here’s what to expect when you book a photoshoot with our Oahu photography team:
💌 Step 1: Booking Your Session
The first step is simple — just send us a quick message with:
• Your travel dates
• Preferred shoot location (or let us recommend one!)
• Who’s in your group (solo, couple, family, proposal, etc.)
• Sunrise or sunset preference
We’ll respond quickly with availability and the perfect package based on your needs.
Booking is fast, secure, and friendly — no stress, no pressure.
📍 Step 2: Picking the Perfect Location
From the vibrant shores of Waikiki to the peaceful sunrise magic of Lanikai Beach, we’ll help you choose the best backdrop for your session. We’ve scouted every inch of Oahu and will match your vibe to the ideal setting — whether it’s:
• Romantic + private
• Bold + dramatic
• Family-friendly + fun
• Iconic + Insta-ready
We also offer location suggestions based on:
• Crowd levels
• Lighting at your scheduled time
• Accessibility for kids or elders
• Beach vs. botanical vs. skyline preferences
👗 Step 3: Outfit Tips + Shoot Prep
Once you’re booked, we’ll send you styling tips so you feel confident and camera-ready. We recommend:
• Neutral or soft color palettes
• Light fabrics that catch the breeze
• Avoiding busy patterns or logos
• Barefoot or beach-friendly shoes
Want to dress it up? Go glam. Want to keep it chill? Keep it barefoot and breezy. We’ll make you look amazing either way.
📸 Step 4: The Photoshoot Experience
Don’t worry about posing or being “good” in front of the camera — that’s our job!
During your session:
• We guide you gently through poses
• We keep it fun, relaxed, and real
• We capture both posed and candid moments
• We work with kids, pets, and all personalities
• We use the best light, angles, and backgrounds to flatter everyone
Most sessions last 30–60 minutes, and we often explore 2–3 nearby backdrops during the shoot to give your gallery variety.
You’ll feel like you’re just enjoying a walk on the beach — with a camera that just happens to catch your best side 😘
✨ Step 5: Photo Delivery
Within 3–5 business days, you’ll receive:
• A beautifully edited digital gallery
• High-resolution downloads for print or sharing
• Optional print add-ons or rush delivery if needed
No watermarking. No upsells. Just stunning images you’ll love forever.
