Hawaii Wedding Photographer, Hawaii Wedding Photography
It was over two years ago when I first met up with Crystal & Mitch. Originally, there wedding was supposed to be held last year however due to some life changing events, the wedding was postponed to the following year. Seeing them again felt like seeing old friends which I haven’t seen in awhile. It...
Outstanding pictures. 13 and 23 are my flavorite. Vote for Frank Amodo on November 4th! You got my vote.
The pictures are so awesome and beautiful, the story added a special personal touch.
Absolutely beautiful! Made me cry all over again!
I love those photos of when they first see each other – too sweet! Gorgeous job of capturing the emotion!
WoooooHoooooo! You just made my day. Perfect Frank! Frankin cherry. Thank you so much. Every picture has a particular emotion and when I look at them I feel the exact same way I did when it was taken I know where I was and what I was doing when you were taking them. -Mitch
(speechless) -Crystal
p.s. haha Crystal not actually around while I type this.
It’s funny how that all the weddings that I have photographed, it never rains. Someone mentioned once before that I always bring out the sunshine. Well, the sun didn’t come out this time and it rained all day and made the grounds extremely wet. Everyone was a bit concerned. But everything changed up until the...

UPDATE: We just put in an offer. We’re praying that it’ll get accepted (crossing fingers and toes).
It’s now been a year and half since we’ve been watching the market and it feels like the right time to buy. Kiyana is getting bigger and the little apartment were in is not cutting it for her. We...

Tina: Thanks for the comment. YES! That townhouse was awesome. We did look into it but it was WAYYYY over our budget. Funny how you just posted because at this moment, I’m currently working on yours and Ben’s images! The photos came out beautiful.
I recall you being pleasantly surprised when you saw our little Ko Olina “home”. Good luck with your search! (Oh, and think about schools too!)
Thanks Guys! Don’t cross your toes too much because it just might cramp up!
Crossing fingers & toes for you too! We just bought a new house so I know how exciting time this is for you. Goodluck!!
Ooh! Crossing my fingers and toes for you! =P
I just recently got an email from Sam + Kuan and it made me all warm and fuzzy inside. And the email went something like this:
WE LOVE YOU (me, kuan, sis, bros, including the in-laws)!
What a great way to end the night. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We will cherish these images for a...

Goodness you are so talented! I just love looking at your work. When are you coming to Florida to do my family pictures?

YOU ARE AN AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER, Frank. Although it’s been over two years since you photographed my wedding I never fail to check out your blog at least twice a week. I would get remarried to my hubby just so you could photograph us again.
Absolutely amazing!
You’re my ultimate favorite photographer in the whole world, you’re SO freaking TALENTED, it’s unreal to be so good!!!
Thanks for sharing all these amazing photos!!!!
-Fanny B.
Too…much…good stuff! Gorgeous photography overload!
Amazing and inspiring work as always! Really world class shots here my friend.
If you have been communicating with me within the last month, I’d probably have mentioned to you that I’ve been sick. Kim got the flu, Kiyana got sick and of course I got it too. One week later, we all got better and the following week, Kim gets a relapse. Kiyana gets sick again (high...

jen: I use Canon Flash units. 420ex’s 580ex’s. I shoot 90% of my weddings solo. Sometimes I have an assistant which is pretty rare. I like shooting alone. Much more flexibility and in complete 110% focus on the B&G
what type of external off camera flash do you use and how many assistant to you bring with you?
mmmmm spam musubi… shot list… evil. =)
Cheers Frank! Awesome new blog! We’ll home over the holidays, got time for a family session?
-Jaymie and Audrey
That is a great idea to use a shot list! I’m looking forward to using it on our next wedding! Great blog!
Hi Frank, it’s my first time leaving a comment here but i’ve been a secret fan of your blog ever since i saw Renee’s wedding pics! btw,FAQ answers were great! I also agree with you on the shot list. we trust your work 120% so we won’t worry about the shot list! can’t wait to have our day photographed by you!
Good post Frank. I would have to agree about the shotlist. And I’ll let you know about those details I want photograph.
Ok my wedding is done but I still check your blog . I totally agree about the shotlist! I didn’t have one. I had faith that my awesome/uber talented photog will be able to capture the “moments”. And of course, we had the most amazing first kiss shot! “Swept Away” baby!
Thanks for the FAQ! YEP, right on the money about the shotlist! Thanks for the TIP!
Frank, you are so true about the photographer’s shot list. I had no idea. I can see it being so evil. I’ll make sure that Christina doesn’t make a shot list (hehe), I just told her about it and she just trashed her list!
thanks for the post frank. I been checking 3 times a day just to see what you put up. so exciting.
Congrats to Ericka & Jeff who are now chosen as one of the finalist in the photo contest. The photo is entitled, “Swept Away”. Amazing how Jeff swept Ericka off her feet for the “First Kiss”.
Criteria of the photo was to convey and nostalgic feel and captures that magical and emotional moment in a wedding...

I finally had a day off a few weeks ago. We spent the entire day strolling through the malls. There was a store we stopped at which had a pair of shoes that caught my eye (not for me). A small pair of black low cut Converse Chuck Taylor shoes. I thought to myself, ahhhh….this...

Kiyana is sooo adorably cute! She definitely would make the cover of a magazine/ad. Her cuteness has so much personality.
awesome! Kiyana rocks those Chuck Taylors. maianna would love to be in one of your ads! but she has some time before she’ll fit in a pair of chuck taylors. And thank you and Randy so much for this weekend. Crystal and I are so excited and anxious to see the pictures. we even stalked randy at Sam’s Club j/k. we just so happened to bump into him.

Last year when I met up with both Kristina & Myron, I immediately felt we all had a connection. I was made for them, they were made for me. I was chosen to be their photographer, I chose them to be my sandbox. One year later, it finally happened. They finally tied the knot. It’s...
