Kauai is often called The Garden Isle — and for good reason. With its dramatic cliffs, lush valleys, golden beaches, and slow, romantic pace, Kauai offers one of the most breathtaking backdrops in Hawaiʻi for photography. At 808 Pictures, our team of professional Kauai photographers specializes in capturing authentic moments that feel natural, emotional, and timeless.
Whether you’re visiting Kauai for a wedding, honeymoon, family vacation, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, our experienced photographers understand how to work with the island’s light, landscapes, and rhythm to create images that truly reflect your story.
Professional Kauai Photographers You Can Trust
Our Kauai photography team is part of the trusted 808 Pictures family, serving Hawaiʻi since 2004. Each photographer is carefully selected for their experience, calm presence, and ability to make clients feel comfortable in front of the camera.
We believe great photography isn’t about stiff posing or rushed sessions. It’s about connection — to the island, to each other, and to the moment. That philosophy guides every family session, couples shoot, engagement, and Kauai wedding we photograph.
