Read a little more about how I work!

THIS IS ALL ABOUT YOU DOING YOU, AND ME CAPTURING EVERYTHING THAT IS BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THAT. WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY THAT CAPTURE THE RAW AND GENUINE BEAUTY OF YOU, INSTEAD OF PUTTING YOU IN A BOX OF WHAT YOU SHOULD BE!

SAY GOODBYE TO
COOKIE CUTTER!

HEY FRIEND!

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based on Oahu, Hawaii!

My name is Sunny Golden!

This is all about getting to know each other and making your photography experience not-so-intimidating. Let's loosen up, have fun and become friends! I'm not here to put you into some cookie-cutter, stiff poses. You are WAY too unique for that! I'm about letting you love each other the way you do best and encouraging genuine interaction. You know, the good stuff that is actually YOU!

I also believe the connection between you and I is SUPER important because who the heck wants to be photographed by someone they don't vibe with....that'd be no one!

Get to know me a little more!

SOME RECENT ADVENTURES

Sunny is an absolute artist. Not only is she at the top of her craft, she has the kind of personality that will make you feel so comfortable and so beautiful in front of the camera. She took our Oahu wedding photos and I know I’ll look through them probably once a month for the rest of our lives, that’s how happy we were with her work! Thank you a thousand times over Sunny!

HIRE THIS GIRL!!! Seriously look no further. Sunny is equal parts talent and personal. She made the process of hiring a photographer flawlessly simple; providing me with recommendations and setting up a FaceTime call prior to our photoshoot to address expectations while also easing all of my concerns. Sunny was extremely accommodating to my husband and I for our one year wedding anniversary shoot. I was initially most looking forward to seeing the pictures from our time together but Sunny created such a fun atmosphere that I will forever treasure the photoshoot itself. We laughed and enjoyed our time. For a couple who feels awkward in front of the camera Sunny not only makes you feel like a natural, but, creates magic out of every moment. Our pictures are the proof! I could not be more happy! If you are looking for someone to catch your vision and make your photography dreams come true, you have found her! Thank you, Sunny!!

Sunny is such a joy! She is professional, has the best eye, and an infectious laugh. She kept our whole day light and fun. My husband and I are definitely strangers to getting pictures taken and the pictures turned out AMAZING! The candid-style photos and her editing brings out the best in you and the light. I cannot express the elation we’ve had looking through our pictures, working with Sunny, and all the memories we get to relieve over, and over, and over. Super recommend. :)

I can't say enough about how great Sunny is! From planning through the day-of, she was such an amazing photographer. She provided helpful feedback as we were planning the timeline, and she brought such great energy that we sorely needed during an otherwise stressful process. We booked her for a reception and for a catamaran charter, and she has a great knack for making people feel comfortable in front of the camera (so much so that my mother-in-law thought that we were high school friends). We also had a weather cancellation that she was super flexible and understanding about. She sent our first round of sneak peeks just hours after the event finished (!!) and the second round within a week's time, which was so nice to have. We are so happy with our experience with Sunny-- it was for sure one of the best investments we made for our wedding. Thanks Sunny!
