Amity Mason filmed our dream Maui wedding! We had a small intimate ceremony at Maria Lanakila Catholic Church and then our reception was at Lahaina Loft. Amity took pictures of us getting ready for the first look, our first look, our ceremony, our reception, and our family/guests, and she also took my husband and I around Lahaina town for an hour to get various shots near sunset.
Amity made us feel at ease and comfortable, which is a great feat given I married an introvert. I was immediately struck by her warm professionalism as well as how cool she looked with her camera set-up: she has camera holsters on her hips and will whip out a different camera or a different lens, depending on the situation! She was able to get a variety of shots, and our final images turned out beautifully. Amity was able to capture some of our most intimate loving moments and natural expressions between ourselves and with our friends and family. I loved how creative some of her shots were, and how they all looked natural. I also appreciated that she was flexible with allowing me to ask for a couple of shots that I thought would look cool.
Aside from her equipment, pleasant personality, and professionalism, another thing I really liked about Amity was the fact that a few times she showed me a shot she had just taken on her camera's viewfinder. That made me feel more relaxed because I could visually see that the shots were turning out great because no matter how good a photographer's portfolio looks, a bride will always have a nagging fear that she won't look good or that wedding photos will be a disaster. I'm a worrywart by nature so I can't NOT stress! However, Amity made us look really good and I had nothing to worry about! Growing up, my family took a lot of family photos with various photographers so in the past, I've had photographers that made it hard to be yourself or look natural, or they had a knack for catching you at the wrong moment, but I can honestly say that Amity got us relaxed and was able to capture AMAZING shots of my husband and I. We have a collection of wedding photos we will treasure for years! ^_^
A lot of our friends and family were impressed by the photos, and I'm amazed by how much I love some of the shots and how Amity captured some moments of pure love with my husband and with our parents. Amity gives you a great variety of both traditional and unique shots, as well as a nice mix of black and white shots with color shots. She also was great at capturing little details at the party, such as the cake and centerpieces.
I highly recommend Amity for your Maui wedding.....and if you're not getting married on Maui, her Instagram also expresses that she can travel for a wedding. ;) read more
