Authentic, Creative, and Timeless.
At Nakai Photography, we believe that your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime moment, filled with special moments, emotions, and memories that you'll cherish for a lifetime. As a professional wedding photographer, I, Kenny Nakai, have made it my mission to capture the essence of your love story through my lens. With over 15 years of experience in the industry, I've had the privilege of documenting weddings in Italy, Mexico, Thailand, and the Bahamas, as well as domestic locations across the United States.

As a photographer, I don't just focus on capturing the big moments, but also the little, often-overlooked details that make your wedding day truly unique. I believe that a wedding is not just a celebration of love, but also a reflection of the personalities, interests, and quirks that make each couple special. My goal is to create photographs that tell the story of your love, highlighting your personalities, and capturing the joy, laughter, and romance of your special day.
