ABOUT US

Hawaii wedding photographers renowned internationally for their photojournalistic artistry.
The photographers of Absolutely Loved translate spontaneous wedding moments into timeless keepsakes, to treasure for your entire lives. Their vision of your wedding day resembles a scene in a movie sequence, harmoniously blending the beautiful landscape environment with you and your fiancee.

Stefanie Riedel grew up in the small countryside town of Simmern, Germany. Here she was surrounded by gothic architecture and inspired by the painter Franz Marc, a key figure of the German Expressionist movement. She regularly visited Paris and studied artwork at the Louvre. In her adolescence, Stefanie was intrigued by painting and sculpture, heavily influenced by Da Vinci. During this time, she discovered her talent for photography. Her passion was children and their striking honesty, which resonated in her photographs.

In her early twenties, Stefanie lived in Micronesia and worked as a teacher. From there she landed in the Hawaiian sunshine and began to raise her family. It wasn’t long before she found success as a wedding photographer. From a young age, her daughter Anna was involved in the business. She and Stefanie have become a dynamic team, blending mature expertise and fresh innovation.

When they are not shooting, they like to play with their golden retrievers and Leon the Maine Coon. Stefanie loves paddle boarding and Anna is an avid surfer.

Their refined style and relaxed personalities are key to making you feel at ease on the most important day of your lives. They meticulously capture the true essence of your wedding as it unfolds naturally. Absolutely Loved's style is a mix of artistically candid snapshots and tasteful compositions.

Their work has been featured in multiple magazines, such as Pacific Weddings, Wedding Style Magazine by Grace Ormonde, Marriage Magazine by Grace Ormonde, Hawaii Bride and Groom, Honolulu, Smart Magazine, and InStyle Weddings. They have been chosen to photograph celebrity weddings.

Absolutely Loved's photography team are happy to travel to destination weddings.
