Kolo Family
Losing our dad was the hardest thing we’ve ever faced, but having Manoa Media there to document his final farewell meant the world to us. The video helped us share the service with family overseas and captured the depth of love, respect, and legacy he left behind. It was beautifully done, with so much sensitivity. We couldn’t have asked for better.

So easy to work with, and the results blew us away!
Made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and absolutely nailed the aesthetic. Highly recommend them for any event, especially if you want that island magic touch
