Adam A. Palmer Photography

Since we did not take engagement pictures, my now-​hubby and I wished to take some fun «Trash the Dress» pictures in the North Shore. After some online research, we stumbled upon Adam and I’m so glad we did. Adam took us to the beautiful Ke Iki beach, a location near and dear to his heart, and we had a ton of fun playing in the sand and water while he snapped away. He has an easy-​going attitude and seemed to truly enjoy his work and office. Less than a week after our shoot, he sent us copies of all his images. Thanks, Adam, for capturing such beautiful moments, even staying extra time, and also for picking such a special location! You will do yourself the BIGGEST favor by booking Adam A. Palmer Photography!

Adam is great to work with! Not only do all of the pictures turn out amazing, but he is incredibly friendly and easy going. I would recommend him to anyone coming to the island for a special occasion or if you live here and want to book a great photographer!

Adam was really easy to work with and very flexible. The photos turned out amazing and he took us to a couple of different scenic areas so that we would have even better pictures. He was very laid back and willing to work with my crazy bridal party. I highly recommend him!

We hired Adam based on his online portfolio since we planned our wedding from across the Pacific. It was the only thing we had to go on (that and a phone conversation). Adam lived up to expectations. He checked in with me a few days before the wedding to confirm details and showed up before our agreed-​upon time. He captured all of the moments we wanted and had ideas about different areas in our venue to get great photos. He was so easy to work with and even had out photos uploaded earlier than promised. The only downfall is that we have so many photos to choose from that turned out great. Not a bad problem to have. :)

I was searching (last minute!) for a high quality photographer for engagement pictures while we were on Oahu for a quick vacation. I checked several places, but either the prices were WAY too high, or I wasn’t happy with their photography portfolio. Luckily, I didn’t settle and found Adam A Palmer Photography– this guy has SKILL! Not only is he extremely talented, but he is SO down to earth, friendly and was super flexible. We had a really good time on the North Shore and got such great photos! Ive received so many compliments on them, and many people have commented on how beautiful the photography is. I am so happy and so thankful we chose him! OH last thing– we got our pics back sooner than promised– so awesome!

My daughter’s wedding was photographed in Oahu. He knows the island well and picks out beautiful beaches for the shoots. His prices are reasonable and the quality is an A+. I would highly recommend Adam for any of your photography needs. From weddings to family portraits.

Adam is an awesome photographer! He did our wedding photography at Loulu Palm Estate on July 3, 2014. I found him by doing a google search and sent him a request via his website. He called me back that same day to get an idea of what I wanted. It was very easy to stay in touch via email or phone. On the day of the wedding, he worked well with our whole family (we have children from previous marriages), guests, and was familiar with our wedding site so he got the most beautiful shots. He got our online gallery to us within a week and I am very pleased with our photos. I highly recommend Adam!

My wife and I got married in the mainland but we wanted to take wedding pictures while we were in Hawaii for our honeymoon. We found Adam online and contacted him. He always responded promptly to our emails.
The photo shoot day was unfortunately a rainy day! Adam was very flexible and offered us other options. We decided to go on with the photo shoot anyways. He was kind enough to offer us an umbrella. He was more worried about our picture quality than ruining his expensive camera and equipments.
He managed to take wonderful pictures despite the rain. The pictures turned out great. We cannot thank him enough for helping us create long lasting memories.

Adam, I can’t thank you enough for taking such beautiful photos of the big day. My husband, my family, the wedding party, and I could not be more happier with how the wedding photos turned out. The photos are so natural and beautiful and fun. I can’t wait to frame these photos and display them, and I’ve had the greatest time sharing the photos with family and friends. It was so great meeting and working with you as well– my husband and I thought you were so professional yet easygoing, and we appreciated how patient and friendly you were to not only us, but to our family, the wedding party, and other guests. You listened to our ideas but also had such great ideas of your own for the photos, which really helped create a smooth photo session after the wedding ceremony and during the sunset photos. The sunset photos were absolutely amazing, and we also really appreciated you staying extra at the reception when we were running a little behind during the program. Mahalo! –Ka’Lena and Miles Jansen

Working with Adam is such a pleasure.
As a hair and make up stylist in the wedding industry, I work with photographers all the time and I have many great things to say about Adam A. Palmer Photography.
From his performance on the wedding day, navigating through the excitement and chaos seamlessly catching every moment with out anyone even know he was there, to how fast and easy it was to get access to and navigate through the photos.
He is on the top of his game. There is no question you will be in good hands with Adam and team.
Aloha and best of luck with your wedding.

This is a much belated review (sorry Adam!). My wife and I had Adam take photos for our commitment ceremony in Ko Olina back in January 2012. Adam was friendly, punctual, listened to our input, and put us at ease. He took a bunch of great photos that we still enjoy today. Loved his work and highly recommend!

What can I say about Adam Palmer that hasn’t already been said?
We looked and researched long and hard when trying to choose a photographer for our wedding on the windward coast of Oahu. It was difficult making a decision without actually being able to meet with anyone, being that we did not live on the island. Based on reviews, his portfolio and pricing, Adam seemed to be exactly what we were looking for. He made everything easy and was extremely laid back and easy to work with. He arrived early and left late. The pictures that he took were nothing short of amazing. The staged photos that Adam took were excellent but where he really shines is in capturing moments. The photos he took allow us to relive the memory of the great day we had celebrating our wedding with friends and family. Along with his amazing eye for photos, Adam is an all around great guy and was a fun presence to have at the wedding as well.
I strongly recommend Adam without any hesitation. My wife and I will be returning to Oahu in the future and will be making a call to Adam to take more photos when we do. Amazing quality, value and service. 100% in my book!

We selected Adam to be our wedding photographer based on the positive reviews on sites such as this.
We were highly pleased with Adam and the quality of his photographs. We have absolutely no reservations in recommending him, and will confidently recommend him to everyone we know that needs a photographer.
The stress of finding a quality wedding photographer was starting to take its toll on us. A lot of the other photographers we considered were either way overpriced, or we simply did not «connect» for whatever reason. We found Adam online and decided to contact him for a consultation. We met Adam in person and were immediately taken by his positive attitude. We knew right then that he would be a great addition to our wedding team. We were so impressed that we booked him right then and there.
Adam promptly showed up on our wedding day ready to get to work. The stress and anxiety of the big day was nerve-​wrecking, but Adam quickly put us at ease with his positive attitude and quickly started taking our pictures, just as he described. The day was perfect, and Adam’s personality was a perfect complement. We thoroughly enjoyed the photo session. He had several photo op ideas, and capitalized on each one. He remained with us throughout our reception, and even stayed a little longer than we expected.
Adam had our photos ready to view in half the time we expected. Every single picture turned out great. We and our family loved them!
Adam has a sincere passion for what he does, and is a welcome relief from other businesses that focuses primarily on economic profit. I know that Adam is a genuine and honorable man, and will be blessed tremendously now and in the future.

AMAZING! The photos turned out beautifully. Better than I ever imagined. Adam really knows his stuff. He is also very prompt at returning emails and had our photos up on the web in just 9 days! If we decide in the future to do a vow renewal or have a family photo shoot we will be coming to Hawaii and using this guy.
Thanks again Adam!!!

My wife and I were lucky enough to be married in Hawai’i on the north shore and had the pleasure of working with Adam. He captured every moment, ensuring that we will be able to look back and have these beautiful pictures. He was professional, personable, and easy to work with.
Would love to have him take pictures of our family when we return (next time with kids) :)
Thanks Adam.

You will always remember special, magical moments in your mind as being stunningly perfect and beautiful. How do you share those feelings with people who weren’t there to share it with you? How do you explain to your children how perfect the day was that their mom and dad got married? How do you have proof of your happiness? It’s all about the pictures!!!
When I was planning my wedding, my cousin gave me a bit of advice for which I will always be indebted to her. She said, «Make sure you have a good photographer. You will want to remember this day always.» So, I went on a hunt for a photographer… The wedding planner with whom I worked had his own suggestion; however, his photographer (who also does AMAZING work) was quite a ways outside of my budget… That’s when I happily stumbled upon Adam’s website.
After looking at his website, I conferred with my fiancé, and we agreed that he was the guy for us! Little did we know, what we saw on the website did not do justice for the «real deal.»
Adam is AMAZING!!! If you want someone who is happy to shoot your wedding photos, is not pushy or overbearing, who has his own unique creative vision, who provides service unlike any other, and who is faster than all get-​out, you’ll select Adam Palmer.
My husband and I couldn’t be happier! Even my wedding planner will be calling on Adam to do shoots for him!!!
Adam — Thank you so much for making my wedding day memorable and beautiful. A lot of times, brides don’t get to see their wedding… It’s all a blur and it happens so fast. Thanks to you, I will always see what you saw, what others saw, and I will be able to look back on it and walk down memory lane. I appreciate all you did for us, and for all the memories you captured!!! (Just wish we could have gotten a picture with you in it, too!!!)
Future brides or event planners — or people who read reviews: If you are in need of a Class-​A photographer who produces top of the line images, you would be foolish to turn away from Adam…

I know my review is kinda late but I think he deserves a great review. My husband and I got married at Turtle Bay in Feb 2012. Our catering coordinator recommended Adam because his price was right and that her previous clients were satisfied with his work so we decided to try him out after looking at his online portfolio.
A week after our wedding when we returned to the mainland, he sent us a link to our wedding photos and I was BLOWN AWAY by his talent. I am absolutely anti-​photographs but it was my wedding so I had to get over my distaste for taking pictures. I am not photogenic and I hate posing because I feel awkward and it shows on photographs. But Adam was a pro and took candid photos and they came out great. He has the «eye» and not many photographers have that. I wish him alot of success in the future and as I mentioned before, his price is so reasonable compared to other photographers (up to 50 percent less) and in Hawaii of all places (where a lot of people go for that destination wedding. A lot of predators come out wanting your money).
Seriously, I usually don’t have a lot of faith in photographers because most think that buying a 5000 dollar canon SLR makes them «professional» but Adam is a true artist and would have probably produced amazing wedding photos of us with a Kodak disposable.
I highly respect his talent and I am not at all surprised he has great 5 star reviews on Unilocal

Adam is AWESOME! Per Adam’s suggestion my husband and I were married on a quiet, secluded beach on Oahu. We couldn’t be happier with the location and the way the pictures turned out. We were married on a Monday and the pictures were literally up on the website 2 days later.
Adam has a great personality and does fantastic work. He is very responsive via email and available by phone — a huge plus especially if you are planning a destination wedding — and is very helpful in recommending other vendors. All in all, Adam is a fantastic photographer and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to have some beautiful wedding pictures taken on the island of Oahu.
Thank you Adam!!!

My wife and I got married here in Virginia, but wanted to take some wedding photos on a beach in Hawaii. My wife had found Adam through a wedding website.
We contacted Adam and told him what we were looking for. He recommended his sunset package to us. Adam was always available through email (he responds so quickly!).
We met up at a very quiet/​secluded beach on the North Shore of Oahu. Adam was early (as were we) and we began shooting. He took so many photos of us and posed us. He was really easy to work with and easy to talk to. He’s quite friendly and welcomes any new ideas. At the end of the shoot, he showed us the photos on his camera. He got the DVD (with a beautiful case!) to us with our images within a week. Really fast!
I recommend him!

Adam did an awesome job shooting my family!
I wanted to take advantage of Hawaii’s beautiful scenery and have family pictures on the beach with my mom and sister. The last time we had a family portrait taken was when I was 6 and I am now grown! I wanted to find the perfect photographer who would be able to capture the beauty, love and different personalities of my family as well as the amazing scenery that the beach has to offer. After doing some research we found Adam and I’m glad we did!
This was our first photoshoot of this type and I was unbelievably nervous, but Adam made us feel comfortable. He had poses already thought up and was also open to suggestions of our own.
After posting some of the pics on my facebook page I have gotten COUNTLESS compliments and inquiries! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the outcome of the pics and I highly recommend Adam to everyone looking to take pictures in Hawaii!
