About Us
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. My goal is to create photographs that make you feel something, images that bring you back to the people, emotions, and moments that made your day uniquely yours. Our team is based in Kaneohe, Oahu but we often travel to other islands and California to shoot weddings. In my free time I like to play drums, surf, and travel.

Kind words
From couples who worked with Tone Photography Studio.
“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 Mike to produce our wedding highlight video and we couldn’t be happier with this decision. He 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 photography shoot 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””
“When “Tone Studio” company was first recommended to me, I was honestly a little skeptical because there weren’t many reviews on google. BUT, trust me when I tell you this, after being a bridesmaid like 10 times and attending countless weddings by now, I can truly say Shelby and Mike were one of the best decisions we made. Finding the right coordinator was a nightmare since I was planning everything from out of state for about two months. BUT When I finally spoke with Shelby, she immediately put me at ease. From our first phone call to meeting in person, she made me feel like she had everything under control and that all I needed to do was show up with my vows ready, and her partner Mike was the best photographer with a great eye to detail (he’d even tell me minimal things like to fix a single strand of hair, and I’m so thankful he did because those little things made all the difference in our photos). Their patience, kindness, and talent made our day feel so effortless, but even before our big day, I knew they had everything handled and that alone took so much stress off our shoulders. The photos are beyond beautiful, and the wedding recap video still has people talking, and I ho”

Shelby
Day of Coordinator/Drone/Second Shooter
My name is Shelby and I’ve been a Locations scout and manager for film and TV productions on Oahu since 2015, which basically means I’ve spent the past decade figuring out how to make chaos look organized. A lot of that work happened at Kualoa Ranch, which slowly became one of my favorite places on the island. After years of helping film crews chase light and hit deadlines, I started helping couples do the same thing, only now there are flowers, vows, and slightly less yelling. I still run timelines, keep things calm, and quiet
