Best Wedding Photographer
Stefanie and Anna Riedel of Absolutely Loved were voted best wedding photographers in Hawaii by the readers of Honolulu Magazine.
Founding photographer, Stefanie Riedel doesn’t consider herself a romantic, but rather an artist who knows how to capture the love between two people on their special day.
Absolutely Loved’s wedding photography style is photojournalistic; romantics, spontaneous moments and detail shots are their specialty.
One of the surest signs their customers are satisfied is that they tend to come back. “I also enjoy doing pregnancy photography, and I get a lot of phone calls from previous wedding couples,”
“We focus on the individuality of clients and their families, we keep things distinctive and fresh.”
Stefanie and Anna Riedel approach each wedding with a commitment to capture the couple’s unique story of Love and Joy.
Absolutely Loved’s candid wedding photography brings a journalistic approach to wedding photography.
“I tell prospective clients that I shoot each wedding as if I were writing a story,” explains Stefanie Riedel. More often than not, she says, the story tells itself.
Anna Riedel combines a fashion photographer’s eye for beauty with a sense of whimsy and warmth. Anna often suggests to clients that formal portraiture sessions be completed before the wedding day. “This allows the bride, groom, bridal party, and family to enjoy the rest of their celebration immediately after their ceremony,” she says. “It also allows the clients to get to know us better. We want them to feel relaxed and comfortable. That way they can be themselves on the big day. That’s when we capture real moments.”
Absolutely Loved captures images that reflect life as it is lived, not life posed. We are there to immortalize a feeling or an experience, not a dramatic pose that the subjects have struck. For us, it’s all about keeping clients relaxed, in the moment, and truly enjoying being themselves so that the process of creating photographs becomes invisible.
