Aloha,

In 2012, Samuel sought to provide a simple and creative approach to wedding cinema and photography by offering a creative story-telling and journalistic style through his creative studio, The Loving Eyes Productions.
Searching for a photographer that meets the needs of your wedding and fits within your budget is a difficult task. Forget about finding a videographer on top of that. In an industry riddled with package deals and group services, the best deal always meant paying for something that you might not necessarily want in order to obtain the services you do. Often wedding service packages rarely meet the entire needs of the bride and groom.
By tailor-fitting photographic services to the desires of each couple, The Loving Eyes is able to capture the wedding day the way that they intended. Capturing each moment and retelling it in a story that ignites love and romance every time it is viewed.

Our Process

Let's Get To Know Each Other

Let’s first meet up over a cup of coffee and get to know each other. It is really important to us that we get along well. As much as we would love to shoot every wedding, we understand that not everyone is a perfect fit. As your photographer, we will be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day. We want you to find someone that you are comfortable with - even if it isn’t us.

Let's Build The Perfect Package

Whenever you are ready, we can discuss your wedding day plans and start building the perfect package. As we know no two weddings are alike, everything we do is unique to you and tailor-fit to your wedding.

Let's Get Camera Ready

I know most of you would claim to be “camera-shy”. I would include myself in that category too. So let’s do a test run before your big day to warm up to the camera and work together for the first time. Let’s get as adventurous on a hike in the mountains, or stay in a more comfortable setting walking on the beach.

Let's Coordinate The Details

Our goal during this process is to be a resource to you. We’ve worked with the most amazing vendors in Hawaiʻi and when it comes to weddings - we’ve seen it all, trust us. So if you have any questions we would be more than happy to help.

Let's Make Memories on Your Wedding Day

It may not seem like it right now, but it will come faster than you know it. And as they say, it will be over before you know it. Our hope is that you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show (so to speak). Trust us to capture the special moments throughout the day, so that you can cherish them for years to come!

Investments

Your wedding day is full of many exciting memories. You spend months planning every detail, from your dress to the flowers. And no matter how hard you try to soak it all in, it can often pass you by in a blink of an eye. That's where we come in. Every moment is meticulously captured so you won't miss a thing.

Our full-service production team will be alongside you every step of the way, capturing everything and in between. Let's build the perfect production suite together to capture the wedding of your dreams. Through our unique story-telling, relive the magic of your engagement and wedding day for many years to come.

Elopements begin at $400 and weddings begin at $3000

“We had our dream wedding in April 2019. Samuel’s work is so amazing and he is such an amazing person to work with. Really took the time to get the best shots possible. He made things so easy for us especially since we were coming from Colorado. We couldn’t have asked for a better team of professionals. We highly recommended him for your special event”

Sam was so wonderful to work with. He made it very easy to plan out everything from our engagement photos to our wedding day. The picture and video came out so beautiful!

We met a few times to go over the little details of our wedding day pictures and he reassured us that he will take care of us and take a lot of pictures of what we requested. Sam also gave us great ideas where we should do certain photo shoots.

You won't be disappointed. Both me and my husband highly recommend The Loving Eyes! Thank you so much!

Working with Sam was fantastic! Not only did his photos come out better than I’d ever imagine but he gave me so many great pointers and tips on what to expect during the ceremony. I’ve never planned a wedding so having those insights were a life saver!

During the ceremony and reception Sam even helped coordinate all of my guests to the appropriate locations. Usually when you think of a photographer, you would expect someone to sit on the sidelines just to capture the moment, but I believe Sam is the kind of person to step up and help wherever needed!!

If you’re looking for a great photographer, I would recommend Sam 1000 times over. Not only were his photos beautiful but his services went above and beyond!

Samuel was really wonderful to work with. We had an engagement shoot with him where he was very patient, since we were both awkward at taking photos. We also had our little dog Smokey with us, and Samuel was great with him.

For our wedding, Samuel worked so hard to take photos of everything - the dress, the decorations, the guests, the families, and our portraits for the entire duration of the event. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful!! We were lucky to get blessed by a double rainbow during the reception, and we all rushed out to the beach to take photos. Samuel captured some really gorgeous moments that we can hold onto forever.

Thank you very much Samuel!!!

Sam and his team were absolutely amazing! They did exactly what we asked and much more. They were very friendly, patient, and fun to work with. The pictures and videos came out beautiful. Communication was great and we recieved our pictures and videos very quickly. I definitely recommend them!
