I'll be honest, I'm a bit of a wild child. I have a reputation for doing what it takes to get the shot.. if this involves barefoot climbing up a tree (happens all the time,) hanging off of a cliffside, tip-toeing around lava, adventuring through the Aztec jungles, laying facedown on lava rock, or ending up fully clothed in the ocean - this would be just a typical day with my camera. I am often found with random sticks in my hair. I hold that belief that if you're not at least a little bit dirty at the end of any task you didn't have nearly as much fun doing whatever it was you were doing (and yes, this includes eating.) I thrive off light, love, energy, laughter and creativity. I'm driven by your story and inspired by the beautiful hearts. I laugh often, travel as much as possible, and adventure regularly. I am definitely part mermaid and you can often find me rejuvinating in or exploring the Hawaiian oceans. I was definitely Greek in a past life and holding true to my Mediterranean heart, I'm Italian in this one. I thrive off of REAL moments, emotion, laughter and love. I strive to capture your day in as real of a way as possible. Working with and guiding you through the photography process effortlessly in a way to capture and curate your day in a way most authentic to you. My style is unique, natural-light based... REAL Moments... REAL Emotion... Genuine... Auhentic.... Lovely. Images and moments that will stick with you in this lifetime and the next.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

We are located in Waikiki on the beautiful island of Oahu! While we LOVE to travel and will travel anywhere, a travel fee may apply for any location outside of Oahu.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

We have been in business since 2009. Jenna Lee has photographed over 100 weddings as the main.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

I believe in light. I believe in love. I believe in vibrations. I believe in the power of moments. I believe in running wildly barefoot through a field and dancing in the rain; connecting with the earth; breathing in the incredible energy of this life we have been gifted, of this love we have been gifted, of this moment we have been gifted. This moment. I want you to live in your moments. BE present. Simply BE. Kick off your shoes and dance wildly, love freely, without a care in the world. Rest assured your moments are in good hands. I live to curate these moments. Your moments. Your magnificent day, allowing you to be FULLY present in YOUR moment. Because these are some of the most important moments of your life. 
I enjoy pushing my clients to the edge of their comfort zones. A session with me is unlike a photography session you'll ever experience elsewhere... Because it's not about posing, it's about YOU... getting lost in eachother, in this beautiful world, and having a beautiful experience. This allows me to capture you and curate your day in an authentic way. After all, this is YOUR story.. I'm just here to tell it.

What's the typical wedding coverage package that you offer? What is the price?

Our wedding packages start at 5 hours with Jenna Lee as the artist on scene curating the day and range to include unlimited hours with all sorts of goodies (wall-art, albums, etc) We have a range pf packages are flexible to fit all of our clients unique needs.

Do you have a studio where we can meet? Do you use Skype?

We have a home-studio to where we can meet with clients. However, parking in Waikiki can be a pain in the (_(_) and so for this reason, we prefer chatting at a coffee shop. We do Skype and Facetime! :)

What are your professional degrees, credentials, affiliations? Have you taken any recent educational workshops or classes?

First and foremost I am an arist, a curator, a mover and a shaker... a wild free spirit. I have always been drawn to capturing moments.. and this is not something that any class could have taught me... It's what drives me and touches my soul. I could care less about the tecnical aspect... I'm not there to create a technically sound anything..I'm there to curate gorgeous moments... and capture them authentically, and in a way that speaks to you. If my images make you feel anything then I've done my job.
