About 808 Pictures | Professional Photography Across Hawaii Since 2004
Capturing Hawaii’s People, Places, and Special Moments
At 808 Pictures, we believe great photography is about more than taking pictures. It is about preserving memories, telling stories, celebrating relationships, and helping people and businesses share their vision through beautiful imagery.
Established in 2004, 808 Pictures has grown into a photography network connecting clients with professional photographers throughout Hawaii. With a network of approximately 50 photographers serving Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island, we help individuals, families, couples, businesses, and organizations explore photography options suited to their needs.
From a family enjoying their first Hawaiian vacation to a couple celebrating their wedding, a business launching a new brand, or a resort showcasing its property, every photography project begins with a story worth telling.
Our mission is simple: make it easier to find professional photography in Hawaii and help people capture the moments that matter.
Our Story
808 Pictures was established in 2004 with a passion for photography, creativity, and the unique beauty of the Hawaiian Islands.
Over the years, photography has evolved dramatically. Digital cameras, modern editing tools, online galleries, and changing marketing platforms have transformed how photographs are created, shared, and used.
Through these changes, one thing has remained constant: the value of a great photograph.
A family portrait becomes part of a family’s history. Wedding photographs bring an unforgettable day back to life. A professional headshot helps introduce someone to the world. A commercial image can communicate the character of a business in a single frame.
These are the moments and opportunities that inspire what we do.
Today, 808 Pictures connects clients with a network of approximately 50 photographers across the Hawaiian Islands, helping people explore photography services for personal occasions, vacations, celebrations, and commercial projects.
Our focus is on bringing clients and photography professionals together while making the process of finding the right photography option more straightforward.
Photography Services for Every Occasion
Hawaii offers an extraordinary setting for photography, but finding the right photographer for your particular needs can take time.
808 Pictures helps clients explore photography options across a wide range of specialties, from personal portraits to professional commercial assignments.
Family and Vacation Photography
A Hawaiian vacation often brings together the people who matter most. Professional family photography gives you a way to preserve those memories with photographs that can be enjoyed long after your trip has ended.
We help families explore photography options for beach portraits, vacation sessions, children’s photography, maternity portraits, and large family gatherings.
Whether you are traveling with young children, celebrating a family reunion, or arranging a multi-generational portrait, we understand the importance of capturing these moments naturally.
Weddings, Engagements, and Couples
Hawaii is a wonderful place to celebrate love, from intimate beach weddings and destination celebrations to romantic getaways and surprise proposals.
808 Pictures connects couples with photography options for weddings, engagements, elopements, anniversary portraits, and couples photoshoots.
Every relationship and celebration is different. Our goal is to help couples explore suitable photography options for their preferred location, style, and occasion.
Maternity and Children’s Photography
Some of life’s most meaningful moments happen as a family grows.
Maternity portraits, photographs of young children, and family sessions can preserve important stages that pass all too quickly.
We help expecting parents and families explore photography options for documenting these milestones in Hawaii’s beautiful natural surroundings.
Commercial and Business Photography
Photography is also an essential part of how businesses communicate with their customers.
From professional headshots and corporate portraits to product images, fashion photography, advertising campaigns, and brand imagery, professional photographs help businesses present themselves with clarity and confidence.
808 Pictures connects businesses with photography options for commercial projects, subject to photographer specialties and availability.
Hotel and Resort Photography
Hawaii’s hospitality industry relies on strong visual storytelling. Hotels and resorts need photographs that showcase their accommodation, amenities, architecture, dining spaces, and guest experiences.
We help hospitality businesses explore photography options for websites, marketing materials, property presentations, and commercial campaigns.
Whether the project involves a boutique property or a larger resort, the right photography can help communicate what makes a place distinctive.
Serving All Four Major Hawaiian Islands
One of the advantages of 808 Pictures is our presence across Hawaii’s four major islands.
Each island has its own atmosphere, landscapes, communities, and photography opportunities.
Maui
From the coastal communities of Kihei and Wailea to the resort areas of Kaanapali and Kapalua, Maui offers a variety of settings for portraits, weddings, family sessions, and commercial photography.
Oahu
Oahu combines the energy of Honolulu and Waikiki with beautiful beaches, resort properties, and diverse urban and natural environments.
It is an appealing destination for vacation photography, couples portraits, weddings, business headshots, and commercial projects.
Kauai
Kauai’s lush scenery, dramatic landscapes, and relaxed island atmosphere create distinctive opportunities for family photography, couples sessions, weddings, and hospitality imagery.
Big Island
The Big Island offers remarkable variety, from resort areas along the Kohala Coast to coastal communities around Kona and Hilo.
Its varied landscapes provide opportunities for personal portraits, commercial photography, and hospitality projects.
Photographer availability, specialties, and location options vary by island. When contacting us, sharing your preferred location and photography requirements helps us explore suitable options.
Why Choose 808 Pictures?
Choosing a photographer is about finding someone who understands what you want to capture and how you want to use the resulting images.
We aim to make that first step easier by connecting clients with photography options across Hawaii.
Established in 2004
We have been serving photography needs in Hawaii since 2004, with experience spanning personal portraits, celebrations, and commercial projects.
A Network of Approximately 50 Photographers
Our network provides a starting point for clients looking for photography options across Maui, Oahu, Kauai, and the Big Island.
A Wide Range of Photography Services
From family portraits and beach weddings to corporate headshots, product photography, and resort imagery, we help clients explore options across multiple photography specialties.
Local Knowledge Matters
The right photography location depends on more than scenery. Access, lighting, travel time, weather, venue policies, and local requirements can all affect a session. These practical considerations are important when planning photography in Hawaii.
Photography for Personal and Professional Needs
Whether you are preserving family memories or developing imagery for your business, we recognize that every project has different goals, priorities, and expectations.
Photographer availability, experience, specialties, and package details vary. We encourage clients to share their requirements so suitable options can be explored before booking.
Our Approach to Photography
We believe the best photography starts with understanding the people and purpose behind each project.
For a family session, that might mean creating a relaxed experience where everyone can feel comfortable.
For a wedding, it might mean understanding the moments that matter most to the couple.
For a commercial project, it might mean developing a clear brief that identifies the intended audience, brand identity, and final use of the photographs.
Every assignment has its own priorities. By understanding those needs from the beginning, clients can make more informed decisions about the photography experience they want.
We also believe in practical planning. The right location, suitable timing, clear expectations, and an understanding of applicable rules can make a meaningful difference to the final experience.
Our goal is to help clients begin that process with greater clarity and confidence.
Our Commitment to Hawaii
Hawaii is more than a beautiful photography destination. It is home to unique communities, cultural traditions, remarkable landscapes, and an environment that deserves respect.
When planning photography sessions, we encourage clients and photographers to respect local regulations, private property, protected areas, and the natural environment.
Beach access, commercial photography, wedding ceremonies, and resort photography may be subject to specific rules or permission requirements. These details should always be confirmed before a session takes place.
We also believe that photographs should represent people, places, properties, and products honestly, particularly when images are created for commercial use.
Beautiful imagery and responsible practices belong together.
