Meet Your Built-In Besties at Leialoha Socials
Leialoha Socials was created in 2023 from a deep love of storytelling, connection, and capturing the moments that pass by too quickly. Founded by Iniki Leialoha, a former Air Force crew chief turned creative visionary, the brand was born after her own wedding experience, when she realized just how fast the day goes and how meaningful it is to have instant access to the memories that matter most.
Having a dedicated content creator means you don’t have to think about capturing anything yourself. You get to stay present, live fully in the moment, and trust that every meaningful detail is being documented as it happens.
With a heart grounded in Hawai‘i and a creative eye trained on emotion and elegance, Leialoha Socials exists to turn fleeting moments into forever memories. We’re not here to interrupt your day. we’re here to quietly catch it all, so you can relive it again and again.
3 years later, Leialoha Socials has captured more than 200+ weddings and has traveled all across the U.S! As a team of 5, whether your wedding is captured by Iniki or one of our trained Leialoha Socials creators, you can expect the same signature energy, elevated experience, and thoughtful care from start to finish.
Capturing all the magic in-between
At Leialoha Socials, we specialize in behind-the-scenes wedding and event content, capturing the moments that happen between the posed photos and planned timelines. The happy chaos, the deep breaths, the belly laughs, the quiet tears. All the magic that usually lives only in your memory.
Wedding content creation is not meant to replace your photographer or videographer, it’s meant to fill in the gaps they simply can’t. While your photo and video team focuses on the polished, timeless shots, we’re there capturing everything in between: the candid laughs, the quiet nerves, the inside jokes, and the moments that make you feel most like yourselves. Our role is to document the real-time experience of your day as it naturally unfolds.
As your dedicated content creator, we work closely with you before the wedding to truly get to know you, your personalities, your dynamic, what makes you laugh, what grounds you, and what moments matter most. By the time your day arrives, we’re not just another vendor, we’re your behind-the-scenes bestie, moving with you, hyping you up, and capturing your joy exactly as it shows up.
Using the latest iPhone Pro technology, we curate authentic, in-the-moment photo and video content designed for instant reliving and sharing—without ever pulling you out of the experience.
We Can't wait to capture your memories

What’s the difference between a wedding content creator and a videographer?
A wedding videographer focuses on cinematic films shot with professional cameras and delivered weeks or months later. A wedding content creator captures real-time, behind-the-scenes moments on a phone or lightweight camera, delivering candid wedding videos and short-form clips quickly. In Hawai‘i, many couples choose both for different purposes—one for legacy films, the other for instant, shareable content.

What is a content creator for weddings?
A content creator for weddings captures authentic, in-the-moment footage throughout your day, focusing on emotions, details, and experiences as they happen. This includes candid clips, vertical video, and wedding highlight reels designed for social sharing. As a destination wedding content creator in Hawai‘i, the role also includes documenting travel moments, scenery, and the full experience—not just the ceremony.
back
Is wedding content creation only for social media?
While wedding content creation is often optimized for platforms like Instagram and TikTok, it’s not limited to social media. Many couples use their wedding highlight reels and candid footage for private keepsakes, sharing with friends and family, or reliving moments immediately after the wedding, especially for destination weddings in Hawai‘i.
back
How much does a wedding content creator cost in Hawai‘i?
The cost of a wedding content creator in Hawai‘i typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,500, depending on coverage time, deliverables, and whether travel or multi-day events are included. Pricing may vary for destination weddings, elopements, or full weekend coverage. Packages often include same-day or next-day delivery of candid wedding videos and highlight reels.
back
Do wedding content creators replace photographers or videographers?
Absolutely not!! Wedding content creators do not replace photographers or videographers. Instead, they complement them. Photographers focus on still imagery, videographers produce polished films, and a wedding content creator captures the in-between, unscripted moments. Many couples in Hawai‘i choose all three to ensure no part of their wedding experience goes undocumented.
back
What kind of content do you capture?
Everything from getting ready moments and first looks to reception fun, décor details, and
family candids. We focus on authentic emotion, movement, and storytelling so your content
feels elevated, not posed or forced.

"she truly captured it all!!"
She knew exactly what content to capture at every moment and quickly learned who the wedding party and family members were, allowing her to film them all night long. With the hundreds upon hundreds of photos and videos she delivered, you would think there were multiple content creators present. The wedding day was a complete blur for us as a couple, waking up the next morning and having all the content organized, labeled, and ready to view by 11:00 a.m. felt like a dream come true.
"They completely blew us away!"
We feel so lucky to have had Alicia capture our big day. She knew exactly what details to capture and created the most amazing edits set to my favorite Taylor Swift songs. Beyond that, the content exceeded every expectation. Alicia beautifully captured candid moments between me and my husband, heartfelt ceremony highlights, gorgeous detail shots, high-energy dance floor clips, and even thoughtful messages from our family and friends.
"I can't stop talking about it"
I still look back on my photos and videos everyday. My family even loves the content because they were able to truly live in the moment without feeling like they need to take pics of everything. I feel like that’s the best part, reliving your wedding the next day instead of waiting forever for official pics! It’s so raw and meaningful and I just can’t say enough good things about this business. I so truly & highly recommend booking Leialoha Socias to ALL future brides!
"I have absolutely no regrets!"
From the very start, our consultation with Iniki was seamless. She took the time to understand exactly what we wanted captured on our wedding day—and she delivered everything we asked for! Not only did she document the key moments of our wedding, but she also captured all the behind-the-scenes moments we would have otherwise missed. With the whirlwind of a wedding schedule, it’s easy to lose track of what’s happening with your guests.
"It was clear she genuinely cared"
Her attention to detail, warmth, and enthusiasm brought such a positive energy, and she perfectly captured every beautiful moment and emotion.The photos and videos are beyond breathtaking—they truly tell the story of our love and the beauty of Hawaii in ways we’ll cherish forever. Leialoha Socials has such a gift for capturing not just images but feelings, too, which we’ll be able to revisit every time we look at our photos.
