Abby made us feel SO comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. My husband isn’t the biggest fan on taking photos but he was having such a good time! Abby and her husband are the sweetest!!! Highly recommend if you are in Oahu, she was so flexible with my busy schedule. Thank you Abby!!!

Best photographer! We were on vacation in Waikiki and at the last minute decided to get family pictures taken. I am so glad I went with Aloha Dreams. Abby was sweet and kind, made us feel so comfortable. She was very accommodating to our lack of planning and that alone deserves five stars. Pictures turned out amazing! I love every single one. Thank you so much!

We were a bit intimidated about being in front of the camera before our shoot but Abby was super down to earth and made us so comfortable being in front of the camera. She was also super good with communicating and was very efficient with the turnaround time. The photos far exceeded our expectations!! We had a great experience and would highly recommend Aloha Dreams Photography!!!
Good to know
Questions, answered
Do you shoot in both Destin and 30A?
Yes, both. Tell us where you’re staying and we’ll suggest a nearby public beach with great light, whether you’re in Destin, Miramar Beach, Santa Rosa Beach or Seaside.
Should we pick Destin or 30A for our photos?
Go with whichever is closest to where you’re staying, so nobody has to sit in the car. Destin is all white sand and emerald water, and 30A adds natural dunes and a quieter feel.
How much is a session in Destin or 30A?
Family and couples sessions start at $700 plus tax, for a full hour, at least 75 edited high-res images and print rights. Elopements start at $1,400. A $200 deposit holds your date and goes towards your final payment.
What if the weather is bad?
We recommend booking near the start of your trip, just in case. We’ve shot for over a decade and only had a handful of rainouts, since showers usually pass in 5 to 10 minutes. If shooting really isn’t possible, we reschedule for free.
What should we wear?
For the beach, whites, teals, neutrals and blues look great. We’d skip busy prints and stripes, but it’s totally up to you.
What’s your cancellation policy?
You get a full deposit refund up to 24 hours before your shoot. Within 24 hours, we’re unfortunately unable to refund it.
