We had Anna Kim Photography do the welcome dinner for our son's wedding, and the bride's family had…read morethem do the wedding. We could not have had a more positive experience! First - I had a special photo of my son and I (from when he was 4) that I was hoping to recreate on his wedding day. Anna actually brought the photo on the day and they took so many photos, and were so painstaking to even get the hand and body positions perfect. I will cherish the photo that they created! On the day - the team showed up well before our event, and they even mounted flashes up high, around the space (inconspicuously), so there would be enough light at our outdoor venue. They took pictures of everything - the layout, the flowers, and then they captured everyone's expressions as they arrived, and all of the laughter and love during the evening. We have received over a thousand photos, and I have no idea how we will choose - they are all stunning. Throughout the process, Anna was quick to set up Zoom calls (we were off-island and in another time zone!), and quick to respond to emails personally and promptly. She was warm and personable throughout, just a truly kind person to work with. Her team members are all very kind, energetic (!) and eager to do whatever is requested. I wish we could hire Anna and her team for all our events!

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our elopement at Four Seasons Resort Lānaʻi…read more From start to finish, Anna was absolutely incredible. She immediately put us at ease and made the entire experience feel effortless, natural, and genuinely joyful. Eloping can feel intimate and emotional, and she struck the perfect balance of being calming, professional, and wonderfully warm--never intrusive, but always exactly where she needed to be. Her eye for light, scenery, and candid moments is exceptional. She captured not just beautiful images, but the feeling of the day--the love, the excitement, the quiet moments, and the magic of Lānaʻi itself. Every photo feels authentic and timeless, not staged or forced. Beyond her talent, she was organized, responsive, and such a pleasure to work with. We felt completely confident trusting her with one of the most important days of our lives--and she exceeded every expectation. If you are considering her for an elopement or wedding, don't hesitate. She is truly exceptional, and we will treasure these photos forever.

Little did I know what a true gift it was for our family. Lisa met our group of 8 at the designated park right on time. She really has a great way of working with both adults and kids and has an eye for focusing on the person but encompassing the beautiful background. We never felt rushed and were able to request specific groups for pictures. We all left feeling really positive and excited. The hardest part was waiting for the results and hoping they would turn out as great as we had hope. The results are in! They are ALL amazing! We may not be the most photogenetic family out there, but all our pictures made us look fantastic. Lisa took the most beautiful pictures we have ever had. I am so thankful and appreciative that we did this photo shoot. I can't recommend Capture Aloha Photography enough. I ended up buying all the pictures because I don't know when we will all be together again and they were truly outstanding. And the price is very reasonable. I have no complaints. I just wish I had known about them sooner.

The Best Family Photo Experience on Maui -- with the Amazing Lisa Bernasek!…read more Family photo sessions usually fall somewhere between "mildly painful" and "please, make it stop." But our time with Lisa Bernasek completely flipped that script. From the moment we met her on the beach, she put us at ease -- no stiff poses, no forced smiles, just genuine laughter, ocean breezes, and that Maui magic. Lisa somehow managed to capture our family exactly as we are -- joyful, goofy, and (thanks to her direction) surprisingly photogenic! Even my husband, who typically treats photo sessions like a root canal, admitted he actually had fun. That's saying something. The photos turned out beyond stunning -- vibrant, natural, and full of the aloha spirit. Every shot feels like a little time capsule from our trip, filled with the warmth and beauty of Maui. If you want photos that truly capture the feeling of your time on the island -- not just what you looked like -- do yourself a favor and book with Lisa. She's a true artist, an absolute professional, and just a lovely human. Mahalo, Lisa, for giving us memories we'll treasure forever!

Hands down, our photo session with Baby Hawaii photography (Tracy) was the highlight of our Maui…read morebabymoon and we had an amazing experience! Tracy specializes in maternity photography and also does underwater photography. She also does family photography. My wife and I opted for the basic package which includes a 1 hour photo session plus photo processing. I personally know the basics of photography (as a hobby) and I can tell Tracy is well experienced/versed in colors, composition, and lighting. Her communication and service were excellent! Tracy would quickly reply to our emails, calls or text messages. Emails were highly detailed with preparation instructions. She knows her way around Maui and all the photo hotspots --- sunsets, beaches to greenery to name a few. My wife is a bit camera shy, but Tracy gracefully, confidently and comfortably helped direct my wife for posing. Afterwards, we got a quick preview of our photo which was breathtakingly beautiful. "I can't stop looking at it!" Says my wife at the time of this review (and since our trip from Maui). We also loved the fact that Tracy has a variety of maternity gowns available to borrow for the photo session. Saved me lots of $$ for a dress that my wife would only wear once. Spouses pay attention to this fact as it will save you $$ in the long-run! We had a small mishap with rainy weather and timing, but Tracy was incredibly accommodating for us to help capture our dream photos. We can tell she is very passionate about her photography and we definitely felt in the best of hands. If you're interested in maternity photos in Maui, look no further! Baby Hawaii offers a great experience at competitive rates (yes I quoted others too!) that are well worth it! We highly recommend Tracy for your photography needs! We hope to be back in the future with our little one perhaps for a family session. Big thanks again (Mahalo!) to Tracy for making our trip to Maui a memorable one!

I found Caitlin's portfolio online, and I reached out for additional information after seeing her incredible work. Initial contact occurred via email, and she responded very quickly (I think within an hour or so). We arranged a Zoom call to make sure it was a good fit at her suggestion, which was extra effort that we appreciated. She immediately made us feel comfortable and confident that we found our photographer. She described her approach to the work, and had a lot of fantastic ideas for the shoot that we were on board with. Communication was easy and prompt the entire time, and the shoot itself was nothing short of magical. The weather and location were absolutely perfect, and my wife and I had a blast the entire time. Caitlin truly went above and beyond to make us comfortable, guide us artistically, and create a wonderful atmosphere. The results were breathtaking. We received our edited photo gallery faster than we expected, and we were thrilled with the results! We would absolutely recommend Caitlin for any photography needs in Maui. We hope to return with our baby boy for another photo session as soon as he is ready to travel. Thank you Caitlin for helping us to capture this special time in our lives! PS: she also had great food recommendations that we otherwise might have missed.

We have a 20 month old who was not very interested in taking photos and she was able to still get many BEAUTIFUL shots of our family. Very natural photos which have life and vitality. Not your typical staged, stagnant family photos. She is very kind and easy to work with. Great with kids! Other photographers in the same price point only offered half of shooting time she provided and only 10-15ish edited photos. She offered 1hr for 100 edited photos. Quite a significant increase in value considering her work is so excellent.
