Your story is unique and deserves to be told in the most authentic way possible. It's my promise that I won't ask you to jump into the ocean if you’re afraid of water and to do anything else that isn’t true to you.
Authenticity
Sit back and relax. I’ll come to your wedding day or a family photo session with a creative vision and a well written plan. When you trust me, I can do my best work for you. I want you to truly enjoy and be present on your day.
TRUST
I’m all about sharing unfiltered and genuine moments of our lives. I know having your photos taken can feel incredibly vulnerable, so I hope that by being real with you, you can do the same for me. I truly believe vulnerability is our superpower as humans.

As soon as you step into this island, we are Ohana (family) sharing big one breathe. Respecting and honoring the local culture and environment would be something I would ask you to share with.
The photos were gorgeous! Yoona did a fantastic job, from choosing where to shoot, the energy, she was truly great. Yoona will make you feel comfortable and special at the same time. She is great! Thank you Yoona!

Yoona went above and beyond to deliver the perfect photos of our romantic trip to Hawaii. She is very enthusiastic, has great imagination and supports her clients throughout the photoshoot. Will definitely recommend her to our friends
Kate & George
Yoona is fantastic and helped make our day so very special! Neither my partner and I feel natural having our photos taken, but Yoona made us both feel very comfortable with her enthusiasm and professionalism. She’s so kind and sweet and we would 100% recommend. We received the photos promptly and they were stunning- her editing was great. Thanks again Yoona :)
Ray + Chelsea
Yoona is such a wonderful photographer to work with. She is super talented, creative, and really has such a fun personality! I looked at many different portraits by many different photographers and Yoona’s photos jumped out at me. I’m very happy that Yoona captured the beautiful essence of my day in these photos.

Absolutely dreamy & romantic destination wedding for Jess & Howard at Four Seasons, Oahu, HI. Their traditional yet classic bohemian tropical wedding sealed their bows with unforgettable memories. From the breath-taking Hawaiian pacific ocean front ceremony location view with lots of bright eye-catching details to the receptions where they placed playful elements like citrus fruits and oversized greenery lots of island-inspired cocktails and music, this full wedding day was filled with nothing but the joy and the laughters.
Give your potential clients a sneak peek into what you do. Write about your preferred photography style (e.g. casual, moody, bold), and the type of shoots you do such as family, weddings and/or maternity.
Also highlight how you’ll tailor it to every couple – because everyone has a unique story to tell. What they see here is just a glimpse into what you’ll be creating for them.

Love stories
Doung and Jin's beach front wedding was paired with nature-inspired details such as seashells, driftwood, tropical flowers, etc. The couple added Chinese cultural elements in their ceremony which made this wedding even more special.
One of our favored venue is Kualoa Ranch, located in East/North side of Oahu island where we also celebrated Hwani and Michael's wedding day's together. Filled with tropical, vivid, and family oriented Hawaiian theme, this full day wedding with additional photographers, ended with dancing party under the full moon.

Country music to deep dark techno to pop music... you name it..
I'm a big fan of music since i was very young. my mother was a pianist back in south korea, and it has always been in my life deeply. I've been wanting to go back to music festivals so bad lately!
