My wife Sarah and I recently came to Maui to celebrate our 10 year anniversary (she's pretty…read moreamazing and I'm the luckiest man in the world!)... my wife really wanted to take some professional photographs to capture our memories and put up in our house. She searched for a quality photographer that fit what we were looking for... she reached out to my sister in law and she told Sarah about this guy she follows on Instagram who does amazing work. Sarah began to follow him and well she feel in love with his work. I looked at his work as well and we were so blown away we had to book with him. Sarah reached out to Lucas and we set a time and place to meet when we got to the island. We are Christians, we love Jesus and to find out that Lucas was a disciple of Christ was so comforting, we knew we were gonna have a great shoot. We arrived at the beach Lucas chose and the waves were crashing and the scene was absolutely breathtaking. As we walked towards the beach I began to chat with Lucas and found out he graduated from the same college I did, crazy coincidence!!! Lucas really let us have input on the different shots we wanted taken and he was super helpful with positioning us and also encouraging us to be ourselves and as we looked at his work a week later he really captured who we are with amazing detail and beauty. We walked along the beach, we splashed in the water, we climbed up some rocks to capture amazing shots and the whole time Lucas was cheering us on and getting great photos. Seriously the way he utilized the sunset lighting turned into the best photos I've ever been a part of. He is truly gifted and if you are looking for the best on the island then give Lucas a shout you will not be disappointed. As we closed our shoot we continued to talk and learned he was engaged to be married... we all prayed together as we closed which was awesome and I felt so comfortable with him I even invited him to dinner with us... he graciously declined because he wanted us to have a great date night but honestly if he came we would have a great time either way. Can't say enough about this mans character, his passion and his skill set, he's amazing! Thanks Lucas, you blessed us richly!!!

I actually found Jasmyn on Yelp and right away I loved her style and approach to photography. Natural, candid and beautiful. My sister is a professional photographer too so I knew what I was looking for. When I shared Jasmyn's work with my sister, she also agreed that Jasmyn is talented and has great style. She was so easy to communicate with and very responsive. I especially love how she really wanted to get to know us and what our vision is for our photo shoot. What really put the cherry on top was her creating a Pinterest board with some style ideas for what to wear for our beach photo shoot. I'm so glad you suggested a beautiful white dress because the photos look amazing on the black sand beach! She was so fun to work with and was totally chill when my baby started to get fussy/hungry/tired during the shoot (oh the baby trifecta!) and was so patient when I needed to stop to comfort him or nurse him. We had such a great time and now have timeless beautiful photos to capture our memories. I recommend Jasmyn to all my friends who plan to visit Maui and want photos, whether it's maternity or engagement or wedding or family!

She chose the perfect location for our shoot and made us feel so comfortable in front of her lens. It's not always easy to photograph a large family with toddlers but she was so patient and fun that made the whole process enjoyable. We now have the best photos to look back on and remember our amazing trip to Maui. PS. I also love that it was just her and her camera. No fancy lighting and equipment. We highly recommend her if you're ever in Maui. You and your family will have forever memories , captured in beautiful digital images.

If you acknowledge photography as an art form and are looking to hire a professional who is true to…read moretheir craft, vision and expertise, then you'll LOVE Wendy's approach to her work. We had the pleasure of working with Wendy on our last visit to Maui. She was responsive, focused and punctual. We hadn't been to the area in a few years so she was very willing to offer sound options in terms of site/ venue for a family photo shoot with my husband and our two young and very energetic children. The colors and hues she emphasizes in the shots are bright and vivid which is what first attracted us to her work (at the generous recommendation of another local photographer who we also enjoyed on a previous trip but was unavailable on our travel dates this time around.) We were looking for someone that was comfortable with candid imagery and capturing "real" moments for our family, so we felt that Wendy was a great match for our goals on this shoot. Wendy's attention to detail and direction before, during and after the shoot far exceeded my expectations. She was a joy to work with. Thank you for sharing your light, Wendy!

I researched several photographers' websites, but many of their family photos seemed a little tacky. When I came across Wendy's portfolio, I was impressed by her more artistic and candid style. She uses film, which is extremely rare these days! She agreed to meet us early in the morning, and she suggested a beautiful, secluded beach nearby. It turned out to be the perfect location because we had the entire beach to ourselves. She brought a couple props for the shoot and gave us just the right amount of direction. She made us feel really comfortable, and we even forgot she was there sometimes. I am absolutely amazed at how many beautiful pictures she was able to take in just one hour! I really love the joy she captured in the photos, and now those photos will always be a happy memory of our time in Maui. Thank you, Wendy!

We were referred to Forever Maui Photography from our hotel concierge and I'm so glad we booked a…read moresession! The process was simple and easy. I booked a complimentary 30 min session online and received a reminder text the day before our session with the time and location to meet our photographer. They have photographers all over Maui but we figured it would be easiest to do our shoot near our hotel. Your photographer will have your photos ready to view and purchase within a few hours, so fast turn around! They also give you a nice wooden flash drive when you purchase the digital package. Our photographer was Saray and she was amazing! She was professional, kind, patient, prompt, and had a great eye for memorable pictures and poses. Seeing our photos actually made me cry because they were so beautiful :)

After inquiring with several photographers, I decided to go with them because I loved the way they used light to capture the beauty of the people and beautiful scenery. Wow, am I glad I chose them. From the start, they were amazing to work with. I was not sure what location(s) I wanted to take photos at and Bri provided several options and sample photos that they took at each location so that I could make an informed decision about where I wanted to take the pictures. They also use an online portal to make the engagement process super quick and easy. When the day of the photoshoot arrived, Bri and Josh made the photoshoot so fun and relaxed! They were so down to earth and easy to talk to, and suggested poses for me and my husband so that we did not have to awkwardly stand there wondering what to do haha! It was such a fun experience and I loved every second of it. Now, the best part -- Bri sent over some sneak peek pictures and I am obsessed with how beautiful they turned out. Their talent is out of this world and they are worth every penny. I am waiting in anticipation for the rest of the photos. :) Josh and Bri, I cannot thank you both enough for capturing this special time in our lives. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again, and to everyone reading this review, do no hesitate to book them for your photos. You will regret it if you don't!!

I refused and that's when they revealed that they had double booked with a wedding. They told me either I had to change the date or they would refund me. They made it out to seem as if it was an accident but it was a Saturday night and to me, someone probably asked to book them after I had already had a contract and they decided to put the wedding first because it brings in more profit. To me, that's pretty bad business etiquette. Why bother making clients pay a deposit to reserve the date if you're going to cancel on me when something better comes along? I told them I was pretty disappointed but they didn't offer any additional solutions. In all fairness, they were nice to talk to, their portfolio looks great, and their prices are decent but even though I did have other dates available, I no longer trusted them and did not want to work with them anymore. But now it's late and I haven't found another photographer so we're no longer doing photos in Hawaii which I do blame them for. Hence the one star review.

We couldn't recommend Amber enough and will definitely continue booking her for all of our future family sessions in Maui!

We had a trip to Maui coming up and wanted to get family portraits done so we decided to book with Amber as well. I am so glad we did because I think we've found our forever family photographer! We've had photo sessions before that felt stiff and overly posed and the pictures ended up looking like the generic stock image that's included when you buy a picture frame. It's also very hard to get our 4.5 year old son and 13 year old four-legged son to stay engaged for an entire photoshoot. And we also just had a baby to add into the mix! A two-hour photo session could have very well ended up being super stressful with baby, kiddo, and mom & dad crying. Our session with Amber was completely different and so much fun! She captured our family in a way that felt authentic, natural, and genuinely us! She is also like a baby, kiddo, and doggy whisperer and we have some photos of them that are absolute gems! These are more than just photos. We now have something that takes us back to a special moment in time and we will truly treasure forever.
