Aya Tagai
Studio Manager
After graduating in Japan, I began my journey with a world-renowned fashion brand, excelling as a Visual Merchandiser and shaping experiences that spoke through beauty and detail. Yet, my heart carried a dream to live and create in Hawaii. In 2020, that dream came alive when, together with Jun, I co-founded blanc. Today, I pours the same care into every couple and family blanc serves. With warmth and intention, I ensures each client feels seen, cared for, and deeply connected through the experience they share.
We fell in love with Jun's work.
blanc photography deserves more than 5 stars!!

The Style - Capturing Wonder
For over 20 years, my work is built around a single theme “Wonder.” Not the grand, dramatic kind but the moments of wonder hidden in everyday life. I believe wonder exists not in the extraordinary, but in the ordinary moments we often overlook.
My philosophy? Life is already art. The way we live. The paths we wander. The rhythm of the everyday. Even the beauty of simply being.
Each photograph is crafted with care to honor your emotion, your story, and your presence. Here in Hawai‘i, surrounded by natural light and breathtaking landscapes, I bring this vision to life. Whether it’s an intimate wedding in Waikiki, a family session in Ko Olina, or an elopement on the North Shore, every image becomes more than a picture, it becomes a memory your heart will always return to.
Jun Tagai
Founder | Photographer
Since kicking off my professional journey in 2001 (back when film was the standard and Harry Potter just came out), I have earned recognition and accolades for my evocative vision as a visual storyteller. But honestly? I’ll tell you it’s not about the awards.
It’s about creating timeless images that let you relive your memories, not just see them.
An Eye Beyond Beauty
I have been carrying a camera longer than most people have been carrying smartphones. Along the way, I’ve cultivated an eye that goes beyond beauty, capturing the heart of life itself, relationships, stories, and those blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments that somehow end up meaning everything.
"Photograph is not taken, they are created"
Photography for me, is more than a visual record.
It’s a way of preserving emotion, moments that make us pause, feel, and remember.
