Booking is simple. Start by filling out the contact form at studio3511.com/contact or emailing Nicole directly. Share your session type (wedding, family, senior, engagement), your preferred date range, location ideas if you have them, and any questions. Nicole typically responds quickly and will walk you through everything from there — including location suggestions, wardrobe guidance, timeline recommendations, and pricing.

who is studio 3511 photography
Studio 3511 Photography is a professional photography studio based in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, founded and operated by Nicole Seu. Nicole has been photographing on Oʻahu for over 25 years and has worked with more than 1,000 families, couples, and clients. The studio specializes in wedding photography, family portrait photography, high school and college senior portraits, engagement sessions, and aerial drone photography across Oʻahu. Studio 3511 is known for a relaxed, natural, and joyful approach — creating images that feel authentic rather than stiff or posed. Nicole is born and raised on Oʻahu and has deep knowledge of the island's locations, lighting, and permit requirements.
Does studio 3511 travel for photography outside of Oahu?
Yes — Nicole loves to travel and has photographed weddings and portrait sessions on Maui, the Big Island, and the US mainland, including locations like Seattle and Boston (including a senior session at Fenway Park). If you're planning a destination wedding or session on another island or on the mainland, reach out to discuss travel logistics and availability. Nicole brings the same relaxed, location-savvy approach wherever she shoots.
What is the photography style of studio 3511?
Studio 3511's style is natural, documentary, and joyful — a blend of candid moments and guided direction. Nicole describes it as "a little bit documentary, a little bit improv, and a little bit of directing." She captures real expressions and genuine moments while also helping clients feel comfortable enough to let those moments happen naturally. The result is images that feel authentic and timeless rather than stiff or over-styled. Nicole pays close attention to light, location, and timing to create photos with depth and atmosphere. She's particularly known for finding unexpected, creative spots — the kind of backgrounds that make people ask "where was that taken?"
