    Willy recorded the video for my wedding on Valentine's Day at A-Bay. He was great to work with and as soon as I received the video, within 2 weeks, I was very pleased! His work was amazing and beautiful! I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a photographer or videographer.

    We were very glad that we found Guillermo Navarro to be our photographer. We got married at the Hilton Waikoloa Village in the Big Island and planning a wedding from 1000 miles away is a bit intimidating. All our communication was by email or phone and Guillermo was great at taking the time to answer every question we had, gave us advice, suggestions and was very willing to accommodate all of our requests.
    On the wedding day, he was on time, discreet and was very fun to work with. We started with "getting ready" pictures in my room.The pictures were great, he capture some great candid moments with my bridesmaids and my parents. He was fast enough to go to my fiancee's room and take some great pictures of the boys also.
    During the ceremony I didn't even noticed him. He was discreet and I was surprised of how many different pictures he took.
    The sunset pictures were perhaps the best. Just gorgeous romantic shots exactly as you imagine getting in Hawaii. I was very interested in sunset shots and I compared other photographers samples and I was very impressed with Guillermo's sunset shots. I was not disappointed because our sunset pictures were just incredible. He definitely has an eye for sunsets.
    One more thing is that his company also does video and live streaming. We tried the live streaming because several friends and family couldn't make it and we loved it. Was so special to know that they were following the ceremony on a computer back home. Overall, very happy with the service, the pictures and the style. Just what we were looking for.

    Profound talent, outstanding skill, amazing product and exceptional service. Willy not only enabled us to be our truest selves on our wedding day, but he felt like he was a part of our own family. He was discrete and unobtrusive, understanding and patient the entire day. He did not boss us around but were in fact gentle and loving. The pictures alone are quite amazing, but his ability to fit in anywhere makes the experience that much more fun. He will forever be in our hearts because he made our day utterly stressless and LOADS OF FUN!!!!! The best photographer, hands down. Do not make the mistake of booking another one. All of our love, L+T

    One thing I did not realize prior to the wedding was that the person you spend the most time with on your wedding day is your photographer, so it really is an important decision! Although we hardly noticed he was there at times because he is so quick and quiet.
    It is obvious from his photographs that Guillermo Navarro is a professional, talented and amazing photographer. His style is perfect for a wedding, capturing all of the emotions from the day and not missing a moment. He knows what you want without being told, which is important since you have zero time to discuss on the day. He shoots with 2 cameras which allows him to quickly change the framing and composition of the shot in a fraction of a second.
    Beyond his obvious talent for taking the perfect photographs, he is a really fun, nice person. He makes your wedding day that much more fun and exciting.

    We traveled to Hawaii from Oregon for our wedding and planning a wedding long distance was tough, but Willy was a delight to deal with. Not only were our wedding pictures beautiful but he was extremely professional making sure all of my calls and emails were returned and answered all of my questions. Would highly recommend for a wedding photographer.

    WIlly Navarro was everything that I wanted and more. He was incredibly professional and flexible and was always willing to work with me to find out what I wanted. Not only did he do the normal standard photographs but he also did some really cool and artistic ones as well that I absolutely love. The best part about Image Sense Hawaii photography service is the price, I definitely feel like I got my moneys worth.

    Willy was wonderful, he has made all of our photos unique, they are unlike any other that I've seen! He took the ideas that I (the bride) had and improved them. He was also very great about clueing into our style and showing that through the pictures. He spent so much time with us through the entire wedding from before the ceremony to reception! He also gave us all the rights to our pictures which is amazing and not many photographers do that. He also made our video that was wonderful and provided a live streaming webcam for our family and friends that couldn't make it to Hawaii. I highly recommend him to anyone! Amazing photographer!

    Excellent photographer. Creative and hard working. We not only had great pictures taken of our wedding but we also had fun while doing the photo session. The wedding album he designed for us will be a treasure for our whole life. We will show it to our children and (why not) our grandchildren too, lol.

    We found Image Sense Hawaii as one of the options that our wedding coordinator gave us. We picked them among several other photographers and we couldn't be happier with the result. We really liked the sunset pictures in his website. Since we were having a beach wedding we really wanted a photographer that could capture all the beauty of a Hawaiian sunset. Our pictures were gorgeous.
    We fully recommend Willy Navarro. His service was great, he was creative, he had several ideas and suggestions that ended up being great pictures that we would've never dream of taking. Overall a great experience.

    The information Willie provided regarding his services during the wedding planning was accurate and helped us to make the best choice for our wedding needs. Willie was flexible and professional regarding music selection and questions and best of all: his work is AMAZING! He captured this shot of the sunset as my husband and I were walking down a path that is simply breathtaking! Our video is something we are excited to watch and share with our friends and family, and we are so grateful that Willie captured our wedding the way that he did - because it is the only way for us to go back and re-live it. Our family and friends have all commented that they were surprised at how well-done the video was...I guess everyone has gotten used to and expects the typical, average, cheesy wedding video - and they were pleasantly surprised with ours!

    Image Sense Hawaii and Willy Navarro were wonderful to work with on the videotaping of the wedding of my grandson and daughter-in-law. The bulk of our communication was through emails and telephone calls, because I live on the island of Oahu and my grandson and granddaughter-in-law were coming to the Big Island for their wedding ceremony from the Washington, D.C. area. Our needs were met with sensitivity, personal attention, responsiveness, and a high degree of professionalism, quality service, and flexibiity when little changes needed to be made. Images and feelings of that memorable day were captured so beautifully!l I got my money's worth, and more! I highly recommend Image Sense Hawaii!

    Willy Navarro taped our wedding ceremony recently. He was recommended by the fairmont orchid. He put mikes on the groom and minister and did a good job of taping the ceremony. He even added additional Hawaiian footage to the final DVD which was a nice touch. If I had a few criticisms it would be that the guest interviews had poor sound (used the camera mike I think and it picked up the wind) and that at the very end he asked us, while we were busy, what music we wanted on our DVD and we didn't have a good chance to think about it. But we chose the song we wanted anyway. Overall a good vendor.

    If planning a church wedding please think twice. Videographer may be good with beach weddings but not with church weddings . No guests shown in the video, focus was only on bride and groom, no camera rotation.
    Paid for 4 hours, video is only an hour and 25 minutes, had no idea the 4 hour charge was for the presence of the videographer and not for videography.
