Working with Kainoa was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. He came fully prepared, demonstrated a deep understanding of his craft, and made the entire process feel effortless. What really stood out was how he took the time to ask thoughtful questions upfront to truly understand my vision. Not only did he capture the exact essence of what I wanted, but he did it with a level of professionalism and creativity that exceeded my expectations. On top of that, his turnaround time for editing was incredibly fast without compromising quality. He was easygoing, friendly, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. I couldn’t be happier with the final product and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable videographer.

Kainoa Keanaʻaina made our video for the Kaua'i Chocolate and Coffee Festival and all I can say is WOW! Fantastic job! He captured the essence of the event and makes you feel like you are right there in the action. Great camera work and editing set to a fun soundtrack. Love the vibe! Highly recommend!!!!

Kainoa is a wonderful person to work with when you want to have high-quality multimedia products. We contracted him to create a video highlight of the 2022 Young Pacific Leaders Workshop on Marine Sustainability. This 3-day Workshop convened 27 Young Pacific Leaders from over 20 polities in Oceania and Kainoa spent all 3 days recording footage. He was very professional and captured the key moments of the conference without disrupting the program. Kainoa goes above and beyond and genuinely cares about getting to know the people he is working with. Not only is Kainoa a great videographer and photographer, but he is a quick editor as well. He returned the finished product in a timely manner, and we are all very happy with it. I highly recommend his services to anyone.

Kainoa did a wonderful job live streaming a pretty complicated five-person panel at the Entrepreneurs Sandbox (a location he had not seen till the day before) in October of 2022. Super professional process setting up and meeting the livestream deadline. I would highly recommend his services.

Kainoa is a pleasure to do business with. He leads with a humble heart, yet has the knowledge and technical expertise to ensure success for every project or event. I've had the opportunity to work with him on several big productions, and a few of them were live events. He was in the hot seat, directing the live feed, yet he did so with a calmness that kept the team feeling confident at all times. He is well-versed in many areas of production, and his passion for what he does truly shows in his end product. Thankful to partner with Kainoa when we get the chance to!
