š Why These Creatives Stand Out for Your Maui Event

Tailored to your vision: Whether youāre doing an elopement, family-celebration, or full wedding event, they offer flexible packages and personal service.
Story-tellers: These photographers donāt just take pictures ā they capture your story, the emotion, the connection, the waves, the breeze.
Video support: At least one provider offers video (Evangeline Lane) making it easy to capture motion, moments, and memories that still photos alone might miss.
š Tips for Booking & Making the Most of Your Session
Plan early: Maui seasons fill up! Especially for golden-hour (sunset) sessions.
Choose the vibe: Think about the style you want ā editorial, natural, journalistic, film-based.
Location & timing: Since youāre staying at Luana Moana, coordinate with your photographer for the best spots near MaŹ»alaea and beyond.
Bring three things: one outfit change (optional), mindset of letting go & enjoying, and maybe a prop or personal touch (lei, custom sign, etc.).
Trust the creative: Let them guide you to the best light, mix of posed and candid ā the best images often happen when youāre just being yourselves.
Your time on Maui deserves more than captured moments ā it deserves images and video full of heart, setting, aloha and authenticity. With one of these professionals, youāll find more than a session ā youāll find a memory that lasts forever. š“š
