“We were instantly drawn into Charina's work, the moment we visited her website. She is like sunshine, bringing so much heart, joy, and warmth into every moment. Her kindness, creativity and genuine spirit made our experience unforgettable."
"If you are looking for an amazing photographer…look no further!! David and Charina are awesome at what they do. From the very first interaction, through the entire photoshoot process, all the way until you have your gorgeous pictures in hand, David and Charina have you covered! David was extremely patient and offered great suggestions during our photoshoot, capturing the most beautiful moments with my (very busy) toddler. Charina did an amazing job editing our photos elegantly and professionally…and the best part, I had the pictures delivered to me print ready a day earlier than promised! I can’t wait for our next family photoshoot. Seriously, couldn’t recommend them enough!!"
"I just wanted to say, it was an absolute pleasure communicating with Charina about my surprise proposal shoot in Hawaii. We were travelling from New Zealand, and I wanted to surprise and propose to my partner in Hawaii. Charina and her partner David, did an amazing job. Communication with me was 10/10 to ensure I was confident, happy, and safe with the preparation leading up to the shoot. Working with David at the beach was such a breeze, very collaborative and welcoming. It allowed my partner and me feel at ease with the whole shoot. The photos turned out beautiful, stunning, and captured our moment perfectly. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Thank you, Charina and David, for everything!"
