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

I’m a Honolulu-based photographer with 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 celebration—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 timeless and cinematic. 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.


Whether it’s the first look, the laughter shared during the reception, or a quiet moment between you and your partner amidst the day’s excitement, I’m there to document it all with care and artistry.


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.

Jimmy photographed our elopement and we couldn’t be happier with the experience he provided. It felt like we’d known him forever by the end of our shoot, which helped us not feel so awkward and resulted in photos we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives.

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!

It was such a pleasure working with James! He was referred to us by our friends, who had previously worked with him for family portraits on their Hawaii trips. We were a group of 20+ people so you can imagine it being quite chaotic trying to wrangle a group that size for photos. But James was friendly, patient, and kept it light with the youngsters, all while maintaining his professionalism and capturing great moments. He also provided good insight and recommendations about places to go and see while staying on the island. We just received the edited photos from our shoot and we are happy he was able to capture these moments for us. Thanks Uncle Jimmy!

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!
