heyyy bestie, i'm tehlor

When we first met Tehlor, she did a Christmas photoshoot for us back in 2022. We enjoyed it so much and we just vibed with her. After a great experience, we decided to book her for our wedding which was in April 2024. We love how our pictures turned out and we couldn’t be happier, she’s so sweet and the best hype girl!

Tehlor is absolutely wonderful

I'm here to show you that your life is ART and catch those once-in-a-lifetime moments for you, preserving them as memories to look back on and hold close for years to come, down to the tiniest and most special of details. I'm here because one day when you look back to remember, you can truly say you didn't miss a thing. 

 

Sharing a life of gratitude and forming friendships with you all along the way, constantly reminds me to never forget what my real mission and life purpose here is, and that's bringing people closer together.

this is us
tehlor and Keej

If you’ve seen me around, chances are you’ve also seen my boyfriend Keej — he’s a huge part of my life and the reason I went full-time into photography in the first place. Our love story changed everything for me. He’s my partner in creativity and chaos, my biggest inspiration, and my best friend. I believe everyone deserves to be loved this deeply, and capturing that kind of connection makes my job the best job ever.

a girl in love
with love and life.

I'm Tehlor! (pronounced Taylor hehe)

 

Full time entrepreneur, photographer, sunshine in human form, and forever hopeless romantic. I'm based in Kane'ohe, O'ahu, where I was born and raised in between the bay and the Ko'olau mountains. As I've gotten older I've truly learned to fall in love with my life and I'm here to help you do the same by documenting your most precious moments truthfully and naturally. I believe the best photos feel like hugs. They're honest, dreamy, and soulful little time capsules that take us back to what truly matters. I'm not here to over-stage or micro-manage your big day, but to pay. attention. and let it unfold exactly as it does. My goal is to support you in being fully present so you can feel everything, and remember that your life is the true art piece.

I started photography back in middle school (mostly just photos of my friends and I doing goofy things!), intent on documenting everything because I knew how much I'd treasure looking back on those nostalgic times in my life. That instinct never left, and now I get to do the same for you. Whether it be your wedding day, your growing family, or a random Tuesday you decided to romanticize, I'm here to help you hold on to the good stuff.
