About

My name is Mike and I am the owner of Tone Photography Studio. I like to approach each wedding with a documentary style, mostly capturing real moments and being in the background blending in on your day. By using a combination of film and digital photography, I take both a classic and modern perspective to capture timeless moments.

Our team is based in Kaneohe, Oahu but we often travel to other islands and the Bay Area, California to shoot weddings. In my free time I like to play drums, surf, and travel.

“We highly recommend Tone Studio for both photography and videography. It will be the best wedding investment you will ever make. He much more than just a photographer/videographer: he is a passionate artist with undeniable talent who creates spectacular content.

We hired Tone Studio to produce our wedding highlight video and we couldn’t be happier with this decision. They have surpassed, by far, every single one of our very high expectations. He has an eye for detail and he is able to use his creativity and imagination to tell a story and stir up emotions, all the while maintaining perfect lighting and composition. The finished product was perfect — a stunning video that is harmoniously edited and encapsulates everything about a wedding: beautiful, lovely, romantic, sophisticated, touching, elegant, and sweet.

He made such a favorable impression on us the day he filmed our wedding that we asked him to do a separate photoshoot the following week. Needless to say, the photos came out just as breathtaking as the video.

We are so glad that he was part of our special day. Thank you for commemorating the most important day of our lives and for creating this piece of art that we will cherish forever. ”
