James Edens, O'ahu Wedding Photographer
Wedding Photographer based in Honolulu, Hawaii

I have a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of Hawaii and the dynamic energy that comes with every wedding day. I’m passionate about capturing the essence of your wedding—from the quiet, intimate moments, to the spontaneous joy and emotion that unfold throughout the day.


My photography style is a documentary approach with an editorial flair, focusing on the real, unposed moments that tell your unique story while also crafting beautifully composed images that feel intimate and genuine. This balance allows me to create a visual narrative of your wedding day that is both authentic and visually stunning—one that transports you back to the feelings and atmosphere of each moment.


I believe in forming a genuine connection with each couple I work with. Getting to know you on a personal level allows me to understand your story and what makes your relationship special, enabling me to capture the emotions, interactions, and little details that truly matter.


This allows for a more relaxed and comfortable experience, resulting in photos that feel true to who you are, not just as a couple, but as individuals sharing one of the most important days of your lives.


My goal is to provide you with a collection of images that not only capture the beauty of your wedding but also reflect the genuine love and connection you share.

James was amazing to work with. I would book him again in a heartbeat and definitely recommend his services. He was easy to communicate with pre wedding, and was very professional at the wedding. He made us feel at ease when taking the photos. My husband hates smiling and posing for photos, and even he like the experience and how the photos of him came out. I appreciated all the little things he did to make the photos magnificent and our wedding day enjoyable.

If I could give James more than 5 stars I would!!! Highly recommend! We used his services for a maternity photo shoot. Working with James was comfortable and easy throughout the process from initial conversations all the way through editing final photos. He was patient with my many questions, took into careful considerations my preferences, and was thoughtful in his approach to capturing our maternity shoot in just the right way-- and we LOVED the outcome! As a longtime Hawai'i resident, he had key knowledge of the best spots on the island for what we had in mind and knew how to work with the landscape and the lighting. My husband and I both agreed that we are very happy we went with James and that we had quite a bit of fun doing the shoot!

I am so grateful that I found you. I was in a predicament with my first photographer not being able to meet my needs for the previously agreed upon price. So with 1 month to go until the wedding, I was frantic trying to find a good fit, and James was the perfect match! We loved how much care and consideration he showed when we were doing our first look. We had amazing tender photos of us together, and were able to get multiple shots with all the different locations around our venue to give us a full wall of memories.

James did our wedding photography at Halona beach. His energy for our sunrise wedding was impressive! He had such attention to detail fixing my dress, my hair, and even our poses. The wind was not in our favor that morning, but he managed to work with it and was able to capture breath taking moments of our big day!

James was an amazing photographer for our wedding. He was very communicative in the weeks leading up to the event and worked around our wedding schedule. He arrived early, scoped out interesting spots at the venue for shots, and was ready to go as soon as we arrived. He was extremely personable. Everyone at the wedding was complimenting us on James's professionalism and friendliness. He did a great job accommodating requests for group shots and taking plenty of candid photos. He was firm but nice about making sure we got specific shots (e.g., sunset photos). The photos were delivered shortly after the wedding and are of the highest quality. We strongly recommend James for your wedding!
