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.

The final output was gorgeous and she took a plethora of photos so that we had lots to look through when we received the final digital images.

Anyhow we now have many photos that captured the beach, sunset, food and drink, smiling attendees, and our lovely wedding day. Thank you Anna!

My husband and I recently traveled to Maui for a honeymoon/babymoon. To commemorate the trip, we…read moredecided to book a photography session. I admittedly looked into things later than I should have and was relieved when Matthew told me he was available the day before we departed back to the Mainland. We opted for a 2-hour sunset session as I wanted to capture some of those beautiful Hawaiian shave-ice colored skies! We were pleasantly surprised when both Matthew and Madelynne showed up -- I wasn't expecting a second shooter! My husband is a bit shy/nervous in front of the camera, but these two made it so fun and easy! (In fact, after the trip my husband admitted the photography session was a major highlight of our vacation!) They were great at directing and open to ideas. They also gave us a few moments to enjoy the sunset to ourselves which made for some great candid shots. They have an excellent eye for capturing both expressions, moments, and of course, the breathtaking landscape of Hawaii. (definitely check out their website and blog -- they have the ability to capture lovely images at all times of day -- early morning, midday, sunset, and even the beautiful starlit sky) We started out in the early evening at our hotel and moved down to a secluded beach later for the sunset session. I honestly did not know exactly what to expect, but after receiving the images (super quick to boot - the turn around time for our session was about a week!!!) I was FLOORED - - I loved just about every single picture. Their style is so unique and unexpected...sophisticated, artistic yet accessible, playful and romantic. You'll definitely have a few pictures that you'll want to blow up and hang above the fireplace! :) For the quality of work you are getting, they are a STEAL. After doing some other research online, I am convinced they are one of the best on the island. I was also quite pleased with their response time -- communicating and coordinating was easy. Although Matthew and Madelynne aren't natives, they really do embody the spirit of the islands -- they are incredibly knowledgeable about island history (in fact, aside from their photography, I think they also do tours!) and spiced up our session with fun facts about Maui and the surrounding islands. (bonus!) Much Aloha goes out to Matthew and Madelynne from Maui Creative Photography! We are incredibly grateful for the beautiful pictures and memories. Book them while you can!!!

First, let me say that we haven't seen all our final photos yet but I am so happy with our…read moreexperience shooting with Matt and Maddy that I figured I'd post a review now based on the 2 teaser shots they sent and our great experience! If you're looking for Maui-based photographers who can capture the majesty of the island scenery with a photojournalistic style that still puts the people as the focus, you need to book the Maui Creative Photography team! It takes real talent to not let the beauty of Maui steal all the attention away from the subjects. We started taking annual family photos 3 years ago and while I don't always like photos of myself, I realized it was such a special way to document our family and preserve special moments. When we planned our second trip to Maui, I realized that it would be awesome to get a beach family photo session. I started googling Maui photographers, spending hours on their websites/blogs and reading Yelp reviews. I didn't feel a connection when reviewing the portfolios of some of the "big names" on Maui who have TONS of Yelp reviews. While I usually get nervous when I see a Yelp vendor with less than 10 reviews, I decided to go with my gut. I'm so grateful to the other Yelpers who shared their experiences with Matt and Maddy and wanted to make sure to add my own review. Go through their entire blog and you'll be so amazed by the stunning scenic shots, the artistic composition/framing of their subjects, the emotions that jump off the page, and the little details that they noticed. I requested a sunrise photo shoot because we stayed on California time and my 5 year old was in bed each night before sunset. Maddy and Matt were waiting for us at 6:30 am at the beach they suggested that was 5 minutes from our condo in Wailea. It was such a great choice with a number of fantastic backdrops: the dark black lava by the water, the vibrant green leafy ground cover (not sure what it's called but I saw it on several beaches), the sprawling tree branches, the golden sand, and even a lovely canopy of leafy trees. My youngest does not like taking photos, but Maddy and Matt had her laughing and jumping in no time. While one took the girls to shoot near the sand, the other took my husband and me near the lava rock. We had twice as many shots as I expected because they often shot different pairs of us (or solo shots) simultaneously. They were both so friendly and patient, they really put us all at ease. I am thrilled with our experience even though I haven't even seen the rest of the photos yet! That's got to be a true testament to how great these two are! I hope to return in the future to do a sunset session when my youngest can stay up later.

This year it was so special to come back with our son, now 9 months old and work with Tim again. He is not only a very talented photographer, but also incredibly detailed and professional. You can tell he takes his work seriously and genuinely cares about getting the best shots. At the same time, he is friendly, funny and amazing with kids. He made our daughter laugh, kept everything light, fun, and captured beautiful moments even with a wiggly 9 month old involved...lol.
