Tell us about your business!
We are Sav & Cam, a wedding photo and video husband and wife team! We met in middle school, started dating in high school, and now have been in each others lives longer than we haven’t. We started our business together several years ago now, and have been so grateful for all the corners we’ve visited and the people this job has allowed us to connect with.
What would you like couples to know about you?
Because we are a couple ourselves, we know what it feels like and what it takes to get to where you are, and just how special that is. We’re really in tune with one another, and work seamlessly as a team, which really makes our couples feel comfortable with us. It’s definitely a benefit having your photo and video team be married! Our work is cohesive and complementary of one another.
Above all, we really value authenticity and want to document in an honest way. We never want our time together to feel like a production, or make you do things you wouldn’t normally do. We want our time to feel almost like a double date - relaxed, fun, and in the moment.
Where are you based?
We are based in Hawai’i, on O’ahu! We’re really lucky to call this island home, and spend our days soaking up the slower pace of life here.
Do you travel for weddings?
Almost every wedding for us is a destination wedding! While we love shooting the occasional wedding in Hawai’i, we absolutely love to travel. This has always been a passion of ours, and it’s always so exciting to see where our couples take us, usually in places that hold so much meaning for them.
How would you describe your style?
Our style has been described as homey, vintage, true, honest, and artful. When couples reach out, a lot of them express how they feel like they were at the event themselves when they look at our images or videos. We always want an honest documentation of our couples and their day, since every one is unique - this is what gives the images and the videos life.
How would you describe your working style?
We really like to feel like friends with our couples. It’s important there’s a connection, since we’re together all day, on such an intimate day at that. It’s the most important that there’s trust between us - that you can feel like yourselves around us, which in turn allows us to document your truest selves. We’re easy going, and love chatting with guests. It all comes back to mutual trust and feeling like friends!
Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?
For photography, we shoot both digital and film formats. Film is a huge part of our process and definitely where our hearts lie. For video, we primarily shoot on film only - super 8 and 16mm are our specialties. However, we also shoot digitally if the couple is passionate about it, as well as offer digital add ons to our film only clients.
What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?
Probably the fact that we offer both photo and video as a team to our clients. We love working together, and being able to create images and then videos to deliver to our couples is really special and unique.
Where would you love to travel to for work?
We would love to travel to Europe more - we always love our time there for personal trips, so it would be so fun to travel for weddings! Some other places that come to mind are: New Zealand, Montana, Oregon Coast, and Wyoming.
Who is your dream client?
Our dream client is anyone who trusts us wholeheartedly. The best feeling is when someone comes to us and says, “we have full confidence and love your work - do your thing.” This really gives us the freedom and breathing room to create our best work, have fun, and play.
We of course love when our clients also have a similar aesthetic and vision to our own - fashion forward, unique details, and thinking outside the box are traits we love. But full trust in us will always be #1 and something we value over aesthetic.
