Welcome to my Blog!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Lysandra I am the luckiest person I know. I live and work on the windward side of beautiful Oahu, Hawaii. I love what I do. I have a terrific family that appreciates my innate need to re-create the beauty around me in photographs. My clients and their most joyful, real moments are the primary source of that beauty - and our gorgeous Oahu scenery is the perfect backdrop. My style has been described as lush, romantic, vibrant, natural, relaxed, and carefree.

Although I am based on the windward side of Oahu, I love to travel! Just ask about service across Oahu, to the outer islands, or to the mainland.

I am a proud volunteer for Operation Love ReUnited, which serves our deployed military service members and their families. I believe in giving them something to which they can hold on, during a time of letting go. I am also a member of HeArts Speaks, which connects photographers with animal rescues.

Accidental Wedding Photographer: Lysandra Cook Hawaii Portrait Photography



I had a family session scheduled at the beach at the Hilton Hawaii Villages and I went a little early to check things out and scout around. While cruising around the beach and lagoon area I was approached by a bride and groom holding a point and shoot camera. They said they had just gotten married and wanted some photos. The groom said that when they had their pictures taken earlier in the day he left his sunglasses on for all the shots because it was so bright. They were hoping I could take a few shots on their camera. I was happy to oblige but given the bright day and the strong contrast from shade to full sun their camera had difficulty on full auto. Rather than attempt to figure out their camera I offered to shoot a few shots and send them the files.

Congratulations Michael and your beautiful wife whose name I didn't catch. May you have many happy years together.
