Grace T Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Kailua, HI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500

I’m Grace Troutman. I’m a wedding & elopement photographer who loves to frequent the West Coast, Hawaii, and the Midwest (where I grew up.) I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

“Grace T Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly responsive and provided us with so much inspiration and guidance to help us plan the perfect day. Their team, including Hannah and Mike, were dedicated and fantastic. They captured our wedding in the most candid and romantic way. They helped us plan the flow of the day by contributing feedback and building the schedule, and we even got special moments, like a pair of bunnies that photobombed our engagement shoot! We couldn't have asked for a better photography experience and would highly recommend Grace T Photography to any couple looking for a talented and personable team to capture their special day.”

Kailua, HI
  • Photojournalistic style

I'm Jasmine, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Kailua, Hawaii, with over ten years of island living and a passport that stays busy. My style lives at the intersection of photojournalism and nature editorial. I shoot what is actually happening, the real tears, the stolen glances, the chaotic in-between moments, in places that make the photos extraordinary. I cover proposals, elopements, micro weddings, and full wedding days across Hawaii, US National Parks, and destinations worldwide including Europe, Canada, and Australia. I believe a wedding photo should transport you right back to that moment every single time you look at it.

“Working with Jasmine Brooke Photography has been a genuine pleasure. She's thoughtful about prioritizing the couple's experience and stays flexible when plans need adjusting. I loved working with Jasmine she was extremely professional, kind, aware of my needs, and everyone’s around including the other vendors, she was very open and and willing to work with me, which I find super important. In Wedding’s collaboration between vendors is how a Wedding runs smoothly and how we all grow as professionals. I really appreciate her and definitely recommend her as a fellow visual artist her work is beautiful, and she is impeccable as a professional wedding vender. The images she produces are breathtaking and show real care in every frame. As a fellow visual artist, I deeply respect her professionalism and recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for a photographer who treats her work and relationships with equal integrity.”

I moved to Hawaii in 4 hours notice and quit my corporate job to chase my dreams and here I am! I'm a bit of a minimalist like to think I'm pretty fun. I'm an ocean conservationist and use my skills to also educate people about human impacts and ways to make shifts in our own lives in order to help the planet. I am really big on quality over quantity. I would rather deliver a handful of WOW photos over a ton of average photos to fill a number.

Hi, I’m Megan—a film photographer based on Oʻahu and in Colorado, traveling worldwide. I’m passionate about preserving the magic of weddings through the timeless beauty of analog photography. My work is rooted in honest, artful moments—candid, unscripted, and full of feeling. I love the texture, warmth, and intention that film brings, and I’d be honored to document your day with images that feel both timeless and true.

“Megan flew from Oahu to the Big Island to shoot our wedding in Kona back in January and I have only good things to say about her. She was so sweet and easy to work with through the whole process. We met with her on a call before the wedding to discuss our vision and she was able to help me narrow down our packed shot list and schedule for the day. Of course things don't go as planned the day of and she was flexible when we had a few changes during get ready photos. My husband has captured many of our moments on film so it was important to us that we found a photographer who shot film for our wedding photos. Megan did offer to shoot a mix of film and digital but we both agreed that the feel of film was what we were looking for. Megan took such amazing care to capture all the big and little moments from our day. Within a couple weeks Megan delivered over 500 images to us in a digital photo album for us to download. We are overjoyed to have these beautiful images to look back onto for the rest of our lives.”

“Where do I even begin?! From communication to execution, everything was utter perfection. From the start, Brittany listened to my elopement vision (sometimes crazy) and gave her recommendations and expertise. The day before the forecast called for rain so she helped brainstorm other locations in the event we couldn't hike, but *thankfully* it did not rain and we met at the base of the mountain the next day about an hour before sunrise for a sunrise ceremony! Not only did she drive a way to get to the mountain, she hiked up with us, and took epic pictures at the top and back down at a cove. Pictures were sent back to us super quickly and were STUNNING! My friends and family still talk about our pictures to this day (3 years later). They even turned out better than our large family friend's wedding back home. If you are looking for an adventure shoot, elopement, wedding, bridal, engagement, or whatever, DON'T hesitate to book Brittany. She is the BEST!”
