Derek had reached out to me about planning his surprise proposal and wanted to do something special for his longtime girlfriend! We talked about a lot of different ideas & then settled on capturing the surprise & then going on an adventure session on Maui’s West Side. I quickly recommended that he get reservations at Merriman’s Restaurant & luckily he was able to get a table & reservation made. Him getting reservations at this amazing restaurant sort of dictated that we would finish on the rocks in front of the restaurant!
We communicated mostly by text & a few(calls), but were able to get all the details nailed down & the day finally comes & I am positioned in the perfect spot. Katrina was completely unsuspecting & they got out of their car & he positioned her exactly in the right spot, dropped to a knee with a ring in hand & popped the question. She was completely surprised & you can see the moment when she realizes that I am photographing the important moments. Afterwards we explored this gorgeous tropical forest then raced to get to the rocks in front of the restaurant for a terrific sunset. And let me say that the sunset did not disappoint! Was so much fun creating these images with these two lovers. After we finished he whisked her up to Merrimans for a romantic dinner spiced up with the huge diamond he gave her & the sound of breaking waves!
Perfectly executed plan to go on a beach walk on Maui’s west side. Climbing up the rocks to the overlook Rebecca had no idea & that is exactly when Dmitry dropped to a knee and and asked for her hand in marriage! With the wind whipping like a 100mph and her hair flying in circles she said yes! The rocks below getting blown w water as the wind made it the adventure as memorable as important! Congrats!to these two on taking the leap together ❤️💍🥂👍🏼

Years & years ago I shot Carrie & Jim’s wedding. I still remember the gorgeous details of her dress & the images we shot on the balcony of their suite @fairmontkealani. Now back on Maui with their kids on vacation soaking in the sunny & the memories! Luckily we stood on this cliff as these giant waves exploded on the rocks below & the wind carried the water 50 or 60 feet in the air. Was so impressive! Later we adventured to a bunch of cool spots & then found a perfect private sunset. Was terrific seeing them again and meeting their kids.

Thank you so much for taking a look at my Maui Wedding Photography Galleries. Being a passionate Maui Photographer for over two decades I have been refining my style & continuing to grow ever since photographically. Originally I started working at three prominent Maui Luxury Hotels, where you are quickly taught to go above & beyond in delivering exceptional service. This starts with being prepared for whatever task is at hand, anticipating the client’s needs (Even before the client knows he/she needs something), having a fantastic attitude & creating an experience that is unmatched! I have carried this Five Star Experience directly into my photography business! By implementing these practices for more than two decades, I have honed in on making the experience as important as the quality of the imagery!

Oh my goodness this wedding was something else. Absolutely a fairytale wedding for Temako & Earl. Their backstory is incredible with Earl sweeping her off her feet for years & when both of their dads were sick he would drive 1.5 hours to go see one parent & then turn around to go see the other parent almost daily. When he finally asked her, she immediately knew the location as they had an amazing lunch there years before & the wedding was set.
Finally the day of the wedding comes & it is a beautiful day, except there are constant rain squalls that keep moving through. The groom is standing at the altar in perfectly sunny weather & then his bride walks in & right when she meets him at the altar, the first squall hits with a sudden downburst, but it was no matter to this sweet couple. About one minute later the squall moved past & the sun lit everything up & the wedding continued. Four more one minute squalls came & went along with their rainbows & finally they kissed & made it official. I love that the weather was not going to dampen the mood & the proceedings! Later we got the huge wedding party to hook arms walking on the greens of this perfectly manicured course as they laughed & had so much fun.
