I aim to capture the romantic, unguarded, and elegant moments of your timeless love story.
It's not just clicking the shutter in front of a beautiful backdrop. Through visual imagery, I aim to capture the essence of your love and your human experience. My sessions are longer so there is no rush; where we can create together through subtle prompts and direction. Together we will collaborate and curate a session that is relaxed, playful, iconic, and allows you to feel effortlessly confident.
And this is far too important to leave up to chance.
It comes down to the details. With us, you're not just getting photos—you’re getting a personalized experience that ensures every moment is captured beautifully and honestly. Without this level of expertise, you risk photos that feel posed, emotionless, or miss the magic of the moment.
"Words truly cannot describe how incredibly talented, personable and genuine Masha is.

Plan Your Session Around Sunset for Golden Hour Magic
Incorporate the Dramatic Ko'olau Mountains
Dress for the Setting and Prepare for the Weather
Kaneohe’s lush landscapes and dramatic mountain views make it a stunning location for couples photography. Here are three tips to ensure your couples photography in Kaneohe, Hawaii captures the beauty and intimacy of your relationship:
Kaneohe is known for its breathtaking views of the Ko'olau Mountain Range, which creates a striking and dramatic backdrop for your photos. Whether you’re taking photos by the bay or in the gardens, positioning yourselves with the mountains in the background adds depth and majesty to your images. This unique setting is ideal for couples who want to incorporate Hawaii’s natural grandeur into their photoshoot.
The Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden is one of the most beautiful spots in Kaneohe, offering a variety of tropical plants, serene lakes, and towering trees. Whether you want soft, romantic portraits or adventurous, nature-inspired shots, this garden provides endless opportunities for stunning backdrops. Plan your session early in the morning or late in the afternoon to capture the soft, natural light filtering through the lush greenery.
Kaneohe’s tropical landscape can be a bit more humid than other parts of Oahu, so dressing in light, breathable clothing is essential for your comfort during the shoot. Neutral colors or earth tones work beautifully against the green backdrop. Also, be prepared for occasional rain showers, as the windward coast can experience sudden weather changes. Bring along an umbrella or cover-up to stay dry while still enjoying the beautiful scenery.
I would be honored to capture your wedding day on Kaneohe or abroad. To inquire about booking or schedule a consultation, simply reach out for more information.
