Joanna Tano Photography

Joanna Tano's photography captivates your attention and your heart with camera work that displays both the grace of the natural environment and the profoundly expressive intimate moments of the wedding ceremony and celebration. Joanna respects the mood of each moment by combining the use of natural light with imaginative lighting techniques and a good sense of composition. With a series of unplanned pictures telling the tale of the wedding, she can produce dramatic wedding galleries thanks to her photojournalist and editorial style. Joanna takes care to blend into the background of the wedding ceremony, opening her aperture to the attendees' heightened excitement. (While planning her own outdoor wedding, she realized the value of hiring a sensitive photographer who understands the bride's expectations.) She finds renewal and inspiration in the elements of the sea, sky, and land; as a photographer, she is particularly drawn to the dramatic forms found at Makena Beach and in Iao Valley.
