The story of studio 3511 photography


aloha! i'm glad you are here! welcome to studio 3511 photography. i'm nicole seu, one of oahu's top family photographer (and artist). studio 3511 is also one of oahu's best wedding photographer. solo portraits, couples and surprise engagements are also some of studio 3511's favorite photography sessions on Hawai'i's beaches and jungles. i have been taking photos for over 25 years! i actually also love photographing engagements, parties, birds and sunrises. lately i have started taking photos with my drone and branching out to my own personal work with hawaii birds, sunrises and oceanscapes.


i am the main photographer + founder of studio 3511 photography. one of hawaii’s artsy and fun wedding photographers, editor and silly joke teller of studio 3511. i’m pretty shy, unless trying to pull a smile out from your kids in our photoshoot. i also walk around looking for good light and amazing spots to take photos at- spots you might never consider for a great backdrop- but believe me- they turn out cool! I do get weird looks when doing that tho... i love hanging out with my own kids + hubby when I am not taking photos. although it seems like i am always taking photos. pro tip: you can find my aerial and seascape photos for sale under the 'buy art-aerial shots for sale' page. hawaii beaches, oceans, sunrise and sunsets. 4x6 cards, prints in sizes from 5x7 up to framed 16x20 or larger- contact me for more info and customized images for your home!


i'm here to help you create moments to capture your heart. the laughter and the silliness. you and i create photos that you will smile at for a long time afterwards. i've worked with over 1000 families, couples and clients! great people who i now call friends after years of doing photos with their families and companies. i have also done work for companies such as the nature conservancy and pure skin by maggie. don't know the first thing about doing a photo session? no worries. i am here to help you answer questions such as 'what clothes to wear' and 'what is the best time of day for photos?' i personalize your session to you. from clothing, location and even how we interact, i aim to make your photo session stress free and give you amazing photos and memories.


i believe in happy and small moments that tell your story. from the magical moment the ring is pulled out, to the details in the wedding dress, followed by the tiny toes and toothless smiles. all the little things. photographs that lift your spirit and have your soul soaring when you need it the most. capturing your heart in those small quiet moments. the small and the grandiose. the beautiful little details and the grand sweeping gestures are all there. been taking pictures since 2000. i was born and raised on this amazing island with its beautiful landscapes and gorgeous lighting but also love travelling and taking pictures along the way. we can go on an adventure to find your perfect spot. call or email today!
