    I can honestly say that working with What A Day was everything I had hoped for in our wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Corinne answered all our questions (there were a lot!) and she was so patient with us. Shooting our engagement was really fun! She had a ton of really great ideas, and got some super creative and unique shots of us. Being the subjects of a shoot can feel weird for newbies, (like us) but she was so great at making us feel comfortable, and making us laugh, that we forgot we were being photographed! Our pictures came out exactly the way I had hoped they would. Not posed and cheesy but real! And reflective of me and bryan as a couple. :)

    Amber and Corinne were both amazing at our wedding too! They were prompt, accommodated us by driving to two separate locations since the bridal party split up before the wedding, were quick but very efficient.. Got all the shots, beautiful and creative ones and were amazing at directing everyone in all the wedding day chaos like the pros they are.

    We loved having What A Day photograph our special day!!! And we are soooo happy with the way everything turned out. They were super professional, very responsive to emails and texts, really fun to work with, and most importantly we were beyond ecstatic with both our engagement and wedding photos in the end!

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with What A Day! Photography. Their service was exceptional and their quality of photos was amazing and timely. They took the time to really get to know us and what we were envisioning for our wedding. The whole process was fun and stress-free! We had a blast working with them. Their entire staff is fun and flexible to work with. On the day of the wedding, the entire staff was so sweet and got along with everyone. We took so many photos that we are entirely grateful for!

    We received our photos 3 months after our wedding day. All of the pictures were so magical and perfect!

    Thank you to Amber, Sunny, Corrine, and the entire WAD staff for capturing our special wedding day that we will remember for the rest of our lives.

    xo,

    We couldn’t be happier with our decision of working with Corinne and Amber from What a Day! Photography for our destination wedding! We first met with Amber at our wedding venue, the Moana Surfrider in Waikiki, a year before our wedding. From the moment that we met her, she made us feel so comfortable and confident in their work by answering our endless list of questions with her professionalism and warm smile. She really took the time to get to know us and how we met, and allowed us to get to know her as well. We knew instantly that we were in good hands! We met Corinne when she and Amber flew out to our hometown of San Francisco to photograph our engagement session. They did such a fantastic job of capturing us in our element in the most beautiful settings that we didn’t realize existed. During their stay, we felt like we became family with these two incredibly talented and sweet ladies!

    Leading up to our wedding, Corinne and Amber were absolutely wonderful with communication and even helped us by recommending our florist and videographer, whom we loved as well! The entire process of planning our destination wedding went so smoothly because of their help. The wedding day itself was a dream, and their photographs captured everything we felt and experienced that day to the next level!

    Throughout our experience with What a Day!, we were so excited to see our engagement photos featured on their blog and have access to many of the shots to share with our family and friends. The engagement photo book, wedding album, and parent albums came out so beautifully and we will treasure them for the rest of our lives!

    We look forward to working with these What a Day! again soon and highly recommend them to our closest friends, family, and you!

    I love the style of What A Day! Photography--sun drenched, unique, the way they enhance the natural beauty of anything they photograph. Couldn't be happier that we chose them as our wedding photographers. Corinne and Amber photographed our special day and spent about 8 hours with us all. They captured so many lovely photos that it was hard to choose the right ones for our wedding album. Guess I have to make another! The ladies are wonderful to work with, and really listen to your style and your needs for the wedding (they even ask to take a look at your Pinterest boards!). I love how they put in extra effort to understand you and your groom's style before even taking a single photo. The quality and finished product that What A Day! delivers is well worth the price, and I'd recommend them to anyone. Thank you, What A Day! :)

    Corinne and Amber did such an amazing job photographing our wedding. We are very happy with our photos and couldn't ask for a better team to photograph our special day! I really loved how involved they were leading up to the day of our wedding. Our consultation and emails with them really showed us that they wanted to make sure our day was going to be flawless. They were amazing from the begining until the end. My guests also commented on how much they loved our photographers! Corinne and Amber are both very sweet and talented photographers. We chose What A Day! Photography because of their talent and passion for photography. It was really special to share our special day with photographers who really cared and know what they are doing.
    As a bride, picking a photographer was the hardest thing for me. I am very happy with our decision to book them and we plan to book them in the future for other special events!

    What A Day! Photography did an amazing job! I would highly recommend them to everyone. They are easy to work with, everyone is extremely nice and professional, and they do a great job at what they do. They really capture those special moments on your big day so you can have them forever. And they pay close attention to detail which is important to me. Even the way they presented the picture to us was beautiful! Thank you What A Day! for everything!

    From their beautiful photos online and upon meeting Amber, we knew right away that the team at What A Day! would capture all of our important moments and make them picture perfect. Amber and Casey photographed our wedding in November 2013. While I might have been slightly frayed and nervous, they were so sweet and patient and easy to work with that I'd recommend them for that alone! But we received our photos a couple of months later and it was clear that the team at What A Day! is just as talented as they are kind. My husband and are very grateful to have worked with them!

    Capturing the moment without the feeling of anything being staged was really important to us and pretty much the only ask we had of the photographer who we chose to do our wedding. We decided to go with What a Day! Photography from some reliably high recommendations and so glad we did. They really engaged the natural setting of the location of our Hawaii wedding and made most of the pictures just seem like we happen to be in the middle of the picture. We wanted the feeling of seamless impressionism and that’s exactly what we got. We were so happy to have been lucky enough to score What a Day! photography. We highly recommend them for anyone who knows you only get one chance to get things right on your wedding day. Thanks again What a Day!

    Years before I got engaged I already knew I wanted to book with What A Day! Photography. I heard of them through my friend's Facebook and once I got engaged I immediately sent Corinne an email. Corinne, Danielle, and Amber were absolutely amazing. I had so much fun working with them and they made me feel comfortable. The day of the wedding they captured my vision perfectly. Because of them I am able to look back and relive that beautiful day.

    Thank you What A Day! for all you did for us. We are forever grateful.

    Corinne and Amber were such a pleasure to work with from day one. When we first met up to discuss our vision and wedding details, they understood the look and feel we were going for, and immediately put us at ease.

    We're a pretty laid-back couple, so we were more than happy to have them take the reins and work their magic on our wedding day. Other than the formals, we hardly noticed our pictures being taken. The girls blended in perfectly and we were never overly-conscious of the camera's presence (we can be a bit camera shy sometimes).

    We recently received our package and couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out. The whole day was like a dream to us, and they were able to capture that sentiment exactly. It's nice being able to relive our wedding day through these photos; the only thing we're bummed about is that we can't do it all over again.

    Thanks Corinne and Amber! Hope to see you the next time we're on the island.

    The What A Day! team was fantastic - both on the day & with the quality and delivery of our pictures! They were great to have around on the day, easy-going, helpful, fun & went out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Even our guests commented on how friendly & fun the girls were. The quality of the photos was excellent & just the style we were looking for, not to mention the impressive quality of service. We were so happy we stumbled across their website and were available for us on our day. We had been looking forward to seeing all the pictures after the wedding & they certainly didn't disappoint!

    My hubby and I had a wonderful experience with What a Day! Photography. As a destination bride, you can imagine the things that go through your mind when selecting vendors from afar. What a Day! came highly recommended from our wedding planner, and luckily they were available on our wedding date. Once we decided to work them, they were extremely easy to work with from the very beginning. They were very clear about the various wedding packages available and the pros and cons of each. On the big day, the photographers arrived, and they were very friendly and were able to get the both of us to just "be natural". After our big day, the team put the best photos on their blog and on facebook, so it was very easy to share digitally with our friends and family. We also received the complete photo package with all our photos on DVD. The package even arrived with cute magnets, a very put-together photo album, and a few selected prints for quick and easy framing. Since we own the pictures outright, we are able to share the files with friends and family, and anyone can work with their local vendor to get prints. I recommend them without reservation.

    Corinne with What A Day! is just great! My fiance Sam and I live here in Honolulu, but are getting married on the mainland. Corinne took our engagement photos for us in September. Sam and I were both working and in graduate school with crazy schedules, and Corinne was so flexible about finding a time that worked with us. The pictures are exactly what we were hoping for! They are artistic, unique, and elegant, but still look like us :-). Most of all, we felt incredibly comfortable with her, which enabled us to take the best pictures we could. I would highly recommend getting her full style package, which included hair and makeup from Gemina at Faith and Beauty, and clothing. Corrine took some earlier photos for us where I had done everything myself, I feel like I do a pretty good job, and I could not believe the difference in the photos where Gemina had done my hair and makeup. At the time, it felt like an added expense we weren't sure was necessary, but now I would absolutely do it over again. Highly recommend!

    I can't rave enough about the wonderful team at What a Day! Not only did they capture my dream wedding, but they went above and beyond from start to finish of working with them. They really care about each individual wedding and really helped personalize the experience for me and my husband. They took the time to really get a feel for the us as a couple and the theme of our wedding and the images we hoped to achieve. The whole planning process was so not stressful and really exciting with them! On the day of the wedding all the girls from What a Day! were so sweet and unobtrusive and helpful. They made all of the bridal party comfortable in front of the camera and really made the shoots so much fun! They were also amazingly fast too, which was great for the boys! :) Getting my pictures about a month later was like getting to relive my wedding day again! All of the pictures were so magical and perfect! They captured my dream wedding exactly as we had talked about! Right down to the wrapping paper they made everything about working with them special and I am just so thankful and happy!!

    We knew we found the “one” when we met Corinne, our sweet & talented wedding photographer. She took the time to get to know us, the story of how we met, and she shared her background as well. We felt so comfortable with her, which made for the most gorgeous photos! We were so pleased with our album and all the meaningful moments she captured on our special day! I absolutely love her aesthetic, perfect attention to detail, and how she edits her photos so beautifully. She was incredibly helpful and patient with any questions I had, and her expertise with our venue, Sunset ranch, was a big plus. We received our album and DVDs, and couldn’t believe the sweet details in how she presented it. She also included special photo magnets of our wedding! It’s clear how thoughtful and passionate Corinne is about her work. Amber, her assistant was so helpful and captured lots of unforgettable moments as well! We thank you both for all that you have done for us, Alden + Suzy. Highly recommend to everyone☺

    My experience with What A Day! has been nothing but exceptional. Everything from meeting with Corrine for the first time to seeing the photo's after the wedding has just been perfect. We have received many compliments on our photo's. I feel the team from What A Day! successfully captured the atmosphere and elegance that was present at our wedding and with my bride, all with an artistic style and at the same time presenting it naturally as one would remember it to have been if they were there on that day. Looking back on these pictures in the years to come will make it feel like they were taken yesterday, that's how vivid they are. From the start What A Day! was very helpful, understanding, no pressure added and willing and flexible to adjust to our personal requests and schedules. We currently reside in Glendale AZ so most of our planning was conducted over emails. Not being on O'ahu where What A Day! is presented it's fair share of hurdles but Corrine's professionalism and experience made the entire planning process as easy as can be. They also made us feel at ease and relaxed on our wedding day, which probably made for better photo's. We're not fan's of being in front of a camera but Corrine and Amber worked their magic. It made me wonder if any other photography team could have matched What A Day! I don't feel I need to work with any other photographers if I had too, I would definitely hire What A Day! again with no hesitations. Corrine and Amber did an excellent job and we couldn't be happier that we found What A Day! to be there on our day.

    I am so so thrilled to have had What A Day! Photography be part of our Big Day! The pictures were amazing. There are so many options for Christmas cards, I am having a difficult deciding which to use.

    The What A Day! team makes you feel so comfortable, that even those people who hate having their pictures taken (my Dad), cannot help but smile.

    Photos are the one thing that I believe deserve the most investment - creating lasting memories. I am so happy we made the best decision! Thank you What A Day! Photography!!!

    Our destination wedding in Hawaii was captured by What a Day, and we couldn't be happier with our choice. Planning this portion of the wedding was easy - What a Day is flexible, patient and understanding. We instantly felt at ease with them and they helped us relax in front of the camera. The result: unposed and natural special moments captured. Exactly what we wanted.

    I would highly recommend What a Day to anyone looking for a photographer to capture your moments.

    I can't say enough about the photographs taken by Corinne Gold of What a Day Photography for my grandson's 2 year old photoshoot. She was patient and fun which resulted in many smiles. The natural beach and playground backdrop was gorgeous and she managed to capture Zachary's personality as well as his long eyelashes! I would recommend her for ANY special event. Thanks so much again, Corinne!

    My husband and I had such a great experience working with What a Day! Photography. The team are very sweet and professional at the same time. They really get to know their subjects and the photos just come out amazing. They really know how to make you look so gorgeous! We already had the pleasure of working with them already for our engagement shoot and that was also a unforgettable day. I mean can a bed on a beach get anymore romantic? :)
    I would definitely recommend What a Day for all your photography needs because they are passionate about what they do. They always get to know you and make it more than just taking pictures but telling a story through their work.
    Our wedding photographs came out beautiful and there were so many compliments from our family and friends. We are glad we chose them for our special day :)

    Corinne is very professional and her works are so cute and stylish!
    I LOVE her photo so much!

    I found What a Day ! Photography when browsing and immediately decided to ask her to take our Wedding Photo!
    I am Japanese and living in Japan so I had been getting contact with her via Email. When me met in Hawaii after emailing long time, I was so happy to meet her and sure my decision was right!

    Thanks for Corinne, I was very relaxed when our photo time and laughed a lot with my husband ! There were many beautiful pictures.

    Thank you for Corinne and I wanna see you soon in Hawaii.
    I wish I want you to take photos of us again including our ... baby!

    Corinne Gold and her team were awesome! I love our wedding pictures they are so beautiful thanks to Corinne and her team. Corinne has an eye for beauty and what works and what doesn't. It was so easy working with the team at What a day! I love their beautiful vintage-y photography style and best of all they gave me all the copyrights to the prints, so I can make as many copies as I want when I want. It was wonderful working with Corinne and her team, there aren't enough words to describe how wonderful they are at What a day! Photography, I recommend them to everyone!
