As professional Maui Photographers, we have the honor of photographing folks from all across the globe. While we love ALL our clients, some of them sparkle and shine like no others. Such was the case with Christelle and Jefferey. A couple, obviously very much in love with a beautiful family in tow, we were privileged to photograph their wedding at Kapalua Bay on July 28, 2010. Rev. Pia did his usual outstanding job and the evening was perfect! Some pictures of the event follow.
Hawaii Wedding Photography
July 29th, 2010Maui wedding photography
July 19th, 2010April is always a busy month here on the valley isle; the weather is beautiful, cool crisp nights and bright sunny days that hover around 80 degrees. Perfect for ocean kayaking or a round of drinks at the pool bar. Rochelle and Hedley decided April was a good month to tie the knot so they talked a group of their friends and family, some of them from down under, into taking the plane ride out to paradise. I’m sure they didn’t have to twist their arms! The wedding was beautiful and the weather cooperated with us. After a bright blue wedding we finished with a gorgeous Makena Sunset.

Maui Commercial Photography
July 3rd, 2010While we spend a lot of time doing wedding photography, we are also Maui commercial photographers and enjoy the assignments that come along in that arena. Recently, we had the opportunity to do an estate in Kaanapali for magazine publication. The home was a beautiful one, with outrageous ocean and island views, where you could sit on your lanai and watch the skins tournament. We got some killer images and had a good time doing it.
Lighting and staging a house is radically different from the wedding photography we do and requires a whole host of equipment we never use on location for a beach gig. In some ways it’s easier, because the house doesn’t move around or get emotional, but in other ways it presents challenges you’ll never have at a wedding. It’s good to do different things and we’re glad to have the opportunity.
Maui Weddings
June 26th, 2010As wedding photographers in Maui, we have had the privilege to photograph people from all around the world at some of the most pristine beaches on the planet. Occasionally we are blessed with a passing shower but they are generally brief and tend to cool things down. Most people are unaware of how dry Maui really is. Maui Rainfall averages vary from over 300 inches per year at Puu Kukui in the west Maui mountains, to 12 inches per year in the Kihei/Wailea/Makena area. Most of the beaches we use fall in the 12 inch category, so rain is rare. I’m posting a shot of a wedding we did at Kapalua Bay in April, you can see how beautiful the weather was. This representation is the norm rather than the exception.
Maui Family Portraits
June 17th, 2010Alicia and Mike caught a fantastic Maui sunset last night. We haven’t seen one this intense in a while. While sunset is always pretty spectacular, this one went on for quite a while and kept getting more intense. Alicia and Mike had booked us several years ago and gave it another go this year, Thanks, guys! I think we got some killer images.

Maui Wedding Photography, Destination Weddings
June 11th, 2010A Maui destination wedding is one of the best ways to tie the knot. Maui has a large pool of professional photographers, awesome venues, reliable wedding planners and some of the best catering on earth. We were fortunate to have the chance to photograph Candice and Josh at the Haiku Mill, a rustic and beautiful wedding venue on the north shore of Maui. I’m posting a few shots from the wedding from inside the guest house where brides often get ready, as well as some shots from the outside. We have photographed Maui weddings at every major venue in Maui so if you’re looking for a private venue, call us for the photography, we’re well acquainted with the particulars of every location.
Maui Wedding, Kapalua Bay
June 6th, 2010On June 3rd, 2010 we had the pleasure of photographing Mary Kate and Dan at a morning ceremony on Kapalua Bay Beach. The morning was cool, as is usual and a little cloudy which softens the light and acts like a huge softbox. The wedding was intimate, about 15 guests in attendance and was beautiful.
What about the sunset, you say? Simple, Mary Kate booked us for the next evening, in a different location, to do those shots. The morning wedding gives the family a free day to celebrate and the evening sunset session the next day gives the couple a chance to rest and go at it again.
Mahalo Mary Kate and Dan. Much happiness and Aloha.
Hawaii Beach Weddings
June 5th, 2010What a privilege to live here on Maui doing what we love to do. It’s always a treat to take a group of people who have never been here before and bring them to one of Maui’s pristine beaches for a heartfelt wedding ceremony and photo shoot after. Even folks who’ve been coming here for years are surprised by some of the out of the way spots we know and delighted by them.
Our team has been working for years together, perfecting the art of both photography and wedding planning. We know where and when we can achieve the best results for our clients. It’s been a truly wonderful experience meeting people from all around the world and getting the positive feedback we so often get.
So if you’re looking for professionalism in people who truly love what they do, be sure to give us a call at 1-800-745-0344, and if you need a Maui wedding planner please be sure to check our Marry me Maui wedding planners at the same number. We look forward to hearing from you.
Quality Maui Wedding Imagery
May 6th, 2010There’s all kinds of photographers here in Maui, one for every budget and taste. We believe the images captured at your Maui wedding are some of the most important images you’ll have during your lifetime. We take our responsibility very seriously while we disarm you with our wit and charm. Even though we have a running comedy show while we’re doing our job, we are very experienced, having over 20 years in the field, and we’re very meticulous. Our team brings lights, stands and reflectors to create natural looking images that don’t have that “flashy” look you get when you rely on the camera’s shoe mounted flash.
Our editing process is very thorough and we spend several days going through your images retouching and enhancing the images so that what you get on your cd is print-ready and dynamic.
We’re not the cheapest guys on Maui and we’re certainly not the most expensive. What we do we do well and our pricing is very reasonable for the most important images of your life together.
Call us for a no hassle, no obligation consultation at 1-800-745-0344.
Maui Wedding Photographers

Our professional team of Maui photographers, second shooters and assistants are dedicated to capturing the beauty, romance and power of your special day here on Maui. We have decades of experience shooting at all of Maui’s most spectacular locations, from the Olowalu Plantation House to some of the most secluded and unknown beaches in Maui. We have the timing down and will guide you through the afternoon making the most out of that spectacular light Maui is famous for. Outdoor photo sessions on Maui are a challenge. The light is harsh during the day and always changing. A seasoned, Maui based pro is the best and most reliable way of making sure you get those images. You only get one chance, be sure to retain a Maui professional for that once in a lifetime event. When the cake is gone and the tan is faded, all you bring back with you are the pictures. Make sure they’re the best.
