Timeless Wedding Photography on Oahu, Hawaii

Capturing candid moments, elegant portraits, and island beauty — from Honolulu to the North Shore.

TONE studio

Welcome to Tone Photography Studio, where we specialize in capturing authentic, cinematic wedding photography across Oahu. Whether you're planning a beach wedding in Waikiki, an intimate ceremony in Kailua, or a luxury event at Kualoa Ranch, we’re here to document your day with artistry and intention.

With years of experience as a wedding photographer in Honolulu and the Oahu wedding community, we understand how to blend natural light, meaningful moments, and Hawaii’s breathtaking backdrops — from sunset beach ceremonies to mountain elopements in Waimea Valley.

Our work is rooted in storytelling, whether you're looking for candid photojournalistic coverage, fine art bridal portraits, or a stylized engagement photo session. We offer custom wedding photography packages, including full-day coverage, elopement photography, and destination wedding shoots throughout the island.

We’ve photographed weddings at iconic venues like Loulu Palm, Turtle Bay, Haiku Gardens, and private estates around the island. As an Oahu-based wedding photographer, we love working with couples who want more than just pictures — they want lasting memories that feel true to who they are.

About

My name is Mike and I am the owner of Tone Photography Studio. I like to approach each wedding with a documentary style approach, mostly capturing real moments and being in the background blending in on your day. By using a combination of film and digital photography, I take both a classic and modern approach to capture timeless moments.

Our team is based in Kaneohe, Oahu but often to travel to other islands and the Bay Area, California. In my free time I like to play drums, surf, and travel with my girlfriend Shelby.

Kind Words

“We highly recommend Tone Studio for both photography and videography. It will be the best wedding investment you will ever make. He much more than just a photographer/videographer: he is a passionate artist with undeniable talent who creates spectacular content.

We hired Tone Studio to produce our wedding highlight video and we couldn’t be happier with this decision. They have surpassed, by far, every single one of our very high expectations. He has an eye for detail and he is able to use his creativity and imagination to tell a story and stir up emotions, all the while maintaining perfect lighting and composition. The finished product was perfect — a stunning video that is harmoniously edited and encapsulates everything about a wedding: beautiful, lovely, romantic, sophisticated, touching, elegant, and sweet.

He made such a favorable impression on us the day he filmed our wedding that we asked him to do a separate photoshoot the following week. Needless to say, the photos came out just as breathtaking as the video.

We are so glad that he was part of our special day. Thank you for commemorating the most important day of our lives and for creating this piece of art that we will cherish forever. ”

They made my husband and I feel very comfortable and took amazing photos in such a beautiful style. Their quick turn around time after was very impressive as well! ”
