Ashley | Owner & Head Photographer
Former solo backpacker turned boy mama of 2. Her love to explore took her across several countries at the age of 20. In Italy she first found her love of travel & wedding photography after her dad gifted her, her first Nikon. That camera was her trusted companion and took her on a whirlwind adventure from the desserts of Morocco, the Piazzas of Italy to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro with UNICEF.
Her love for photography is shown in the people she meets, connects with and the detail and love she pours into each one of her photographs.
Rina | Associate Photographer
This 22 year-old storyteller was born and raised on Oahu and grew up with an interest in photographing everything around her. Capturing her daily life, Rina found the nostalgia and beauty of photography captivating which led her to graduate from the University of Hawaii, West Oahu, with a Bachelor's Degree in General Creative Media. Nothing excites Rina more than creating images for families and friends to cherish for a lifetime. She wants to make memorable experiences for those who put their trust in her and will always work her hardest to make those memories extra special. She looks forward to meeting many new people through her photography and cannot wait to create some memories with you!
Strat | Videographer
Strat embarked on his journey in the film industry back in 2009, setting the stage for a career driven by a genuine passion for storytelling. Initially stepping in front of the camera as a stuntman from 2013 to 2019, he honed his craft and explored the dynamics of on-screen film. However, as his creative pursuits expanded, he transitioned into the realm of directing.
Throughout his career, Strat has worked with notable brands such as Red Bull, Stella Artois, and Nomad, lending his talents in a variety of other projects.
