Here’s their amazing 5 star rave review of us!

After booking the Four Seasons Maui as our wedding venue, my husband and I knew we needed to get Hi Focused to do our videos after Four Seasons sent us some example wedding videos produced by them. Hi Focused is the best of the best and it’s no contest between them and other videographers on the island.

We booked their “Short Film” packages, which included 5 hrs coverage, an 8-min video, all raw footage, and 2 shooters + assistant. We ended up booking an extra hour of time just to make sure we wouldn’t be rushed the day of the wedding and so they had the chance to capture everything. Looking back, we are so happy we booked that extra hour! The wedding day was so relaxed and fun–glad we had the extra cushion in our timeline.

About a week before, Jordan and I touched base to go over everything and finalize some details. He asked detailed questions about things I wouldn’t have considered, just to make sure they were ready and could capture all of the details. He is a total professional who knows his stuff.

On the wedding day, Amber arrived to do my filming; Jordan was with my husband. Omg. Amber was a riot. She was so much fun to work with and was hilarious–it seriously relaxed me so much and I was constantly laughing. She definitely made me feel more comfortable, and according to my husband Jordan was also great to work with.

The whole team blended in so well and had great suggestions above and beyond the “must capture” list to truly make our day/video unique. Anna Kim was our phenomenal photographer and she & HiFocused worked together so well. They’ve worked together a million times so they coordinated well. It’s like the one-two punch of photo & video awesomeness.

I was also surprised at how small the cameras were. I think I was expecting more of like a movie camera and that everything we did would be staged.That really wasn’t the case at all. They gave some instruction on what to do for the camera, which was very helpful (pro tip: walk slowly, haha), but they mostly just let us do our thing and be ourselves. All of their equipment seemed compact and hi-tech (they even had a drone to capture aerial footage on the beach!). We shot a few important moments more than once to get it just right, but it wasn’t obtrusive. We appreciated they just wanted to get the shot done perfectly. Nothing was forced and everything felt pretty natural.

We cannot wait to see how the video turned out–we know it will be amazing! We are so glad we prioritized photography & videography in the budget, because you just end up missing so much on the wedding day. For me, I basically had tunnel vision and it felt like no one besides my husband and I existed. It was the most peaceful and relaxing day of my life, and we wanted to be able to relive it again and again through the photos and video, and see what we missed while we were busy kissing on the beach.

HI Focused is the epitome of professionalism and quality. Booking them was on the best decisions we made for our wedding. HI Focused is a dream vendor and we couldn’t be more grateful to have them. THANK YOU JORDAN & HI FOCUSED!!!

Here’s their amazing 5 star rave review of us!

My now-husband and I were together for almost eight years before we finally got engaged. Admittedly, I am not always the most patient of people, so I went through most of the research and planning months, even years before he actually popped the question. I figured that whenever the day finally did come, at least I would be prepared! I knew Hi Focused had to be a part of our wedding day when I found myself crying over strangers’ wedding videos on YouTube at one in the morning – over and over and over again. I must have watched every video on the Hi Focused blog at least three times, and some a lot more than that! The stunning drone shots, the vibrant colors, the poignant swells of music that tug at your heartstrings – I couldn’t get enough. I couldn’t believe how emotionally invested I had become in these weddings after a 7-10 minute video! It’s hard to be confident about all of your choices when planning a destination wedding, but picking Hi Focused was easy. No other videographer’s work even came close. I sent Jordan an email the very weekend we got engaged, before we’d even picked a planner, a date, or a venue. My husband and I both agreed that photo and video got priority over all other choices for the day, and this meant that if Jordan and his team weren’t able to be a part of it, then we would pick another day. Without doubt, this is one of the best decisions we made throughout the whole process. The questionnaire we filled out left me assured that the Hi Focused team knew exactly what we were looking for in our film, and Jordan followed it up with a phone call a few weeks prior to the wedding to discuss everything in more detail and review the timeline. Not only did he ask what was important to us, but he listened and followed through! He was very honest about whether we might need additional time in order to get the shots that we wanted, without ever feeling pushy or like he was trying to sell us on anything. He sent me a follow up list after our call to confirm everything we had talked about, and checked in again a few days after the wedding to congratulate us and see if we had any special requests. He made note of the songs I had especially liked from other videos and made sure to include them as well. We never felt rushed or uncomfortable on our wedding day, even when last minute scrambles due to rain put us behind. Jordan, Amber and Charles were professional and well-coordinated. We never felt like we were on display or had cameras in our faces – for the most part, we just got to be us, and bask in the moments of being happy together. When they did offer guidance or suggestions on what to do, it was still very natural and unobtrusive, and the results of those moments of guidance are some of my favorite shots in the film! Amber was with me while I got ready, and she was patience personified while helping me get mic’d up before getting into my dress. She was so professional, but at the same time so friendly and funny that I never felt uncomfortable or awkward. She was such a breath of fresh air, and really helped me feel like “me” again in the midst of all the primping and prepping and pre-wedding chaos. Everyone worked well with our photographers, too! I never felt like they were competing for shots or that they were in each other’s way. Their shots are flattering, gorgeously lit, and captivating. I love seeing and reliving all of the details that went blur. When Jordan sent us the finished video about nine weeks after the wedding, I noticed one request (to include my brother’s toast) was missing. I was hesitant to ask if there was any way he could include a clip, fully expecting it to take another few weeks to re-edit and worried that I might be annoying by asking. After all, we’re right in the middle of wedding season. Jordan responded with a few hours and was SO nice and accommodating – a new, corrected video was already being uploaded! I was blown away. I work in customer service, and my husband sometimes teases me for having ridiculously high standards and always being a little let down, even if I really enjoy something. Not so this time! Hi Focused went above and beyond even what I was looking for, and man did they deliver! The film is stunning, and is woven together into such a beautiful story – the speeches, the dancing, the laughter, the ceremony – all of the things that kind of blur together because there is SO MUCH you experience. All of it comes right back as you get to relive those moments. Absolutely, 100% worth every penny. I seriously cry and feel all the feels every time I watch it. Heck, my little sister said even her roommate cried while watching it! If you’re getting married in Hawaii (or heck, anywhere else – they travel!), make sure Hi Focused is a part of it.

Here’s their amazing 5 star review of us 🙂

Jordan and team have been marvelous in capturing our wedding in an authentic yet captivating way. They were able to ensure us with a peace of mind knowing that the hard work put into planning and creating our wedding are well recorded and kept safe. Their style of art is classic in a way that would endure the test of time and remain sophisticated yet moving when revisited with our kids and grandchildren for years to come. They have been a joy to work with as their clam and genuine demeanor is refreshing during the inevitable hectic wedding day. We especially appreciated their professionalism and work ethic before, during and after our wedding that continuously exceeded our expectations. Overall, we are extremely impressed and couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with to safeguard our wedding day! Mahalo Jordan, Amber, Michael and Willard- thank you for being our miracle makers!!

Jordan and his team were EXCELLENT!! Not only was the team thorough about capturing all the tidbits of our special day, but they made sure we were comfortable with the direction and vision the team was aiming for. Recommending them to anyone who wants a perfect wedding film.

Kauai Kukuiula Wedding Film

What an incredible day that worked out beautifully at Kukuiula!
I should mention that Hurricane Lane was hitting Kauai on
Ben & Amanda’s scheduled wedding day
so they moved it a few days early very last minute.
We found out about the change the day before
the wedding so me and my shooter flew out that night!
The forecast was for rain but the weather cleared with
epic lighting and an incredible sunset.
It’s crazy how it all worked out and how epic their wedding day turned out!!!
Thank you, Amanda & Ben for having us film your awesome wedding day!

Here’s their amazing 5 star rave review of us!

JORDAN IS THE BEST! First off, they’re kind, professional, awesome to have around for your special day (they get all their shots, but you almost don’t know they’re there), they go above and beyond in every way from getting your notes before the wedding, to the day of, to editing your film, and if something unexpected comes up (like a hurricane did for our wedding!) they do whatever they can to still make everything perfect (like flying out days early for a wedding that was rescheduled for 2 days sooner, and succeed!). They know what they’re doing, you can trust 100% that your video will be amazing and better than you could’ve ever imagined. When I first started planning, I wasn’t even sure if I wanted a videographer, I thought a photographer would be enough, and that if we got a videographer we would go with the least expensive option. As planning continued, and I kept watching reels for other videographers, my opinion started to changed, and I realized that I would probably regret not spending more money for quality. In hindsight, after having chosen Hi Focused, who are the best videographers in Hawaii, I 100% agree not to skimp when choosing a videographer, and would hire Hi Focused again in a heartbeat. Your wedding day goes by fast, hiring a great photographer is also very important, but they don’t capture the moments the same way a video can, especially with the speeches, the laughter, dancing, the emotion in your eyes, the sounds of your friends and family cheering and clapping after your first dance. I watch my video every week and never get tired of it. I work for an A-list director in Hollywood, and it looks like an A-list director made my wedding video, the quality of their shots and their cameras are that good. Also, this didn’t happen to me, but I had a best friend who didn’t hire a videographer, and her photographer accidentally deleted all her photos =( Needless to say, that was devastating for her and her husband. If only she had hired a videographer, she could still have had her day captured on film to look back at and remember (and she’s not the only friend I’ve had that wishes they hired a videographer!). If you’re on a budget, I’d spend less money on flowers or decor, and spend more money on your videographer, it’s worth it (because our wedding was moved up 2 days we had to totally redo our decor, we had less flowers, no tent, less lighting, and basically a more simplified-though still very pretty-wedding, but the food and band and DJ were still excellent, and the wedding was perfect, and when I watch our video, I completely forget the stresses of moving the wedding, and just remember the pure joy of the day, and that’s due mainly to the fact of our perfect video). Also, when I watched other people’s wedding videos, I thought I liked shorter ones better, like the 4 minute ones, and if that’s all you can afford, then those are still great (my sister got married in Malibu and hers is 4 minutes and she loves it!), but we opted to get a longer video, and I really enjoy having the extra shots. I’d recommend 7 minutes or more if you can afford it. When it’s you on screen, you’ll never feel like it’s too long ha! In summary, if you’re getting married on any of the Hawaiian islands, I wouldn’t look anywhere else for a videographer, hire Hi Focused!

Here’s their amazing 5 star rave review of us!

We worked with Jordan and his Hi Focused team for our wedding and SOOO HAPPY with how our video turned out. When we first came across his videos on youtube, we knew that we wanted Hi Focused to capture our special day. It was a bit scary at first since we were having a destination wedding, but after communicating with Jordan through e-mails and a phone call we were rest assured that we were in good hands. Amber, one of his team members, worked with me (bride) mainly and I have to give her special props. She really made everything lighthearted and fun. I can’t thank her enough for taking most of the anxiety away from my big day! My groom had a great time with Jordan also. The day just went by so quick, but they captured the highlights of our day so vividly and for us to look back on forever. We can’t thank Hi Focused enough. Thank you Jordan and to your team for all your hard work!

Here’s their amazing 5 star rave review of us!

Being from California and getting married in Maui already made us a little nervous. With a destination wedding, you really don’t know what you’ll get until you arrive. However, our wedding planner recommended Jordan and after speaking with him & watching his sample videos on his website, we knew he had to be our videographer. All of his videos were amazing. Jordan called us a few weeks before & ran through all the details of how everything would run. It felt so nice to be able to show up on our wedding day and everything was taken care of. Jordan & his team were very professional, made us feel at ease, and I liked that he had everything planned out. We received our video so fast after our special day, and WOW. All I can say is…WOW. We couldn’t even have imagined the video to be that great. All of our friends & family have also been blown away by the quality. If you’re thinking of booking with Jordan, just do it. You won’t regret it! I would highly recommend him & his team to anyone needing a videographer!
