“Married…with a heli-elopement package up on Roy’s peak. We had the most amazing experience with James, Ayaka and Tomomi. The team was so easy to work with and they knew what we wanted. They really made us feel comfortable and relaxed during the whole time. The photos and video turned out beautiful and we can’t stop looking at them. We would definitely recommend James for wedding/pre-wedding or even casual photoshoot. Thanks James and team for this wonderful experience!…”

Married 10.01.23 with a heli- elopement package. Thank you so much to James & his wonderful team for making our day so special! We had the most wonderful experience & highly recommend James Hirata to anyone. If we could give more stars we would! Right from the start James has been wonderful to deal with. He is a great communicator & absolutely knows his stuff. On the day James & Tomomi were incredible, they made us feel so special & comfortable. We were both so nervous going into the day not knowing what to expect but they made us feel at ease with their kindness & light hearted humor. James gives so much guidance with photos so you don’t need to know what your doing or feel awkward, he helps to make you feel comfortable & get the most of out of your special day. They also give great restaurant & holiday tips too! We have already received our sneak peak photos and they are incredible & have well & truly exceeded our expectations. We could go on and on about how amazing James and his team are! Please do yourself a favour & book with James & his team- you won’t regret it.
“…James and Ayaka made us feel so relaxed right from the moment we stepped onto the helipad and captured our personalities, our relationship and the most beautiful day, all in a matter of clicks! We are so grateful to now have so many wonderful photos and a stunning video we can treasure for the rest of our lives. Thank you to the amazing team of people helping us every step of the way! ❤️”
