We recently had family photos taken with LeLuxe Hawaii and I honestly can't say enough good things about the experience. We had a huge crowd--multiple families, kids of all ages, and plenty of chaos--but they handled it all with such patience, professionalism, and ease. They somehow managed to capture the sweetest moments amidst all the moving pieces. We ended up with lots of beautiful photos that truly reflect our family's personality and love for each other. These are images we'll cherish forever. If you're looking for someone who's calm under pressure, great with kids, and able to deliver great, heartfelt images--this is the one. Highly recommend! read more

Never disappoint! We use LeLuxe Hawai'i to capture our family precious moment the first time we in Hawaii 10 years ago. 10 years later the quality, customer service, and professionalism remain intact. Love the communication with Mike. Communication is timely, instruction is clear and comprehensive. Our photographer (oh God, I forgot her name) was friendly, professional, and got to the meet up location before us. She scope out the place to make sure the lighting is right. She spent extra time with us to accommodate our families. Great service, speedy turnaround, and can't wait to see those precious captured moments of our experience in Maui! read more

Love working with LeLuxe! We've done two photo shoots in Maui with our family and all of the pictures have been amazing! Definitely recommend. 5 star photographers and so easy to plan and work with. read more

There was no extra images. None of the images were edited. We hired you to perform photos for a wedding renewal. You lied about having your camera stolen because you lost the memory card. The extra photos you provided were incredibly low quality from your 2nd camera. You didn't do your job properly. You didn't edit any of the photos you provided. You sent them to me after you found the memory card. I would never trust you to be a part of any important part of an event. So the extra photos are junk photos of low quality. read more

I am a sucker for beautiful photography so when I planned a babymoon with my family to visit Maui, I just had to find a great photographer to take sunset photos on the beach. Now, beautiful photographers come with a nice price tag, but if you go cheap, you will get what you pay for. I went straight to my Yelp app and searched for the best photographers on Maui and I did do a price comparison. LeLuxe won me over with their overall 5 star Yelp rating, their photos, and their price. They had a special offer and you even had the option to only book half an hour for less, but I had a 3 yr old and I didn't know how many good photos we can get with half an hour so we booked the hour with Kyle. Kyle was very responsive through text and through email. I love quick responsiveness! In order to book, you had to pay a small deposit which I really did not mind. We found the location pretty easily with Kyle's guidance and we had a seamless photo session. Kyle was very good working with my daughter and what was really sweet is that he had water to wash the sand on our feet and even carried my daughter back to the car when we were done! I can tell how much he loves his job/business. As promised, Kyle emailed a link 7 days after our photo session and I must say, I couldn't have been more impressed. They come a close second to my beautiful wedding photos! Whether it is engagement, maternity, wedding or family photos - you will not go wrong booking with LeLuxe! Thank you for the great photo experience! read more

We had an amazing experience with LeLuxe photography. This was our second time working with them and absolutely loved our pictures. They worked well with our entire family and accommodated our needs! We had a couple of outfit changes and they offered great poses and sceneries! We will definitely use them again when we visit Maui. read more

We just finished our photo session and I haven't even seen a single picture but I cannot rave enough about how amazing our experience was. It was a morning session with a tired 5.5 and 7yr old and their team was just above and beyond. I definitely recommend them if you have a family or group. They were great with the children and had creative ways to get them to take pictures together. They made the experience fun for the kids and less stressful for us parents; we will definitely use them again. Can not wait to see the pictures and I will post them when I do. They're are professional, easy going and amazing to work with it... if I could give more than 5 stars I would. I have attached a great action shot of their team with our children. If you have a choice go with this phenomenal team read more

We had a wonderful experience working with Leluxe Photography and love how our maternity pictures turned out. The lighting, location and overall aesthetic of the pictures was beautiful. Kyle was very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process from reserving a date to handling the payment. And our photographer, Umida was wonderful to work with. She is a very skilled photographer and was very great working with our 5 year old to get her to smile during the pictures. We would highly recommend LeLuxe Hawaii. read more

I was in search of a photographer while I was in Maui. I wanted to do a family beach photoshoot and was recommended by a friend to try LeLuxe Hawaii. Kyle was super nice and addressed all my concerns. On the day of our photoshoot, rain was on the horizon so I was afraid it would ruin our photoshoot. However, Kyle was able to find us a new spot to to take our photos. Our photographer was super nice. She was able to get us to loosen up and not be so stiff in our picture, which always seems to be my problem for some reason. We had so much fun! Our pics came out so pretty and it was all thanks to the amazing people at LeLuxe Hawaii. read more

We're so glad we chose LeLuxe for our very first family portrait. Our daughter is just over 2 years old and has major stranger danger, especially towards men she doesn't know. This was the biggest reason why we had waited to have our first family photos, but since we were traveling to Hawaii, we took a chance. We were skeptical as to how the photos will turn out because of our kid's fear of stranger men. But let me tell you, Kyle managed to get our daughter to warm up to him in no time. She was laughing with him and responding to him more than she does to some of our distant family members. I don't know how he knew, but he had all sorts of shells ready for her to hold while being photographed. He even picked a fresh plumeria flower for her. Our daughter was smitten. Our hour photo session went by so fast and our daughter loved every minute of it. But the most important part, the photos! So when we first decided to have this photo session, our goal was to just have 3 good photos. 1 of our daughter by herself, one of us with our daughter, and just one good photo with all of us (us, daughter, my mom, and sister). When we received our proof, we ended up liking all of them! I can't thank Kyle enough for an amazing first family photo session, great memories with our family on the beach and outstanding photos we can now hang in our house. read more

Luxe was recommended to me by a friend. We booked Umida for our Christmas family photos. We flew to Maui from Los Angeles. Emily was professional, patient, and very efficient. Her photos were amazing and the price was very affordable. I think the family photos was the highlight of our trip. Nothing beats capturing these moments together. My family was very happy with her service and I definitely recommend her. If you're looking for a photographer, she is your gal! read more

Our photography session with LeLuxe was great! Umida is a great photographer with lots of patience and a good eye for composition. The owner Kyle was also extremely helpful with answering all my crazy questions and assisting requests whenever he could as I wanted to make this a special photoshoot in Maui with our newborn. Would definitely recommend them 100%. Thanks LeLuxe team! read more

I found LeLuxe through Yelp. From the start, Kyle was very responsive and always responded promptly to my texts to secure our date for our family photo session. I made my deposit through Venmo, which couldn't be easier. On the day of our session, we met Kyle and Lena and they were absolutely amazing! We have a 19 month old and it is so difficult to get her to smile or look at the camera but they worked their magic and we have the most amazing and natural photos of our daughter. She was laughing the entire one hour session and the memories are with us forever. That is PRICELESS! You can't book something less than an hour if you want fantastic photos! I'll be working on getting them blown up now and have them hung throughout our home. The photo link came as promised and we were blown away with how great they came out. We booked a sunset session and it was totally epic! Everyone fell in love with our photos. I will use them again in the future as my family grows and we return to Hawaii! read more

LeLuxe Hawaii - Our one hour sunset session - Wedding Planning Near Me

We booked a 60 minute session in advance. The communication was excellent, and our photos turned out amazing despite the poor weather. We have two small children and the photographer was patient and so good with the kids. She convinced them to pose along with us and managed to get them to cooperate for the whole session. We'll definitely use them again on our next trip. read more

Kyle and his wife Lena did the most amazing job with our photo session!! My husband and I came to Maui for our 5 year anniversary and I'm SO glad we decided to take photos while we were there! We will have these beautiful memories to hang on the walls of our new home! Kyle made us feel extremely comfortable the entire time and he gave good direction for poses while also making sure were natural and candid. I told him that I liked the "pastel" look and he really listened to what look I was going for and they came out amazing! Before the shoot, we were actually very nervous that it would rain, but he kept me updated on the weather throughout the day and in the end everything cleared up just in time and we were blessed with the most amazing sunset!! I have a few friends and family that are traveling to Maui soon and will definitely send them your way! Thanks again for everything! :) :) read more

My husband and I have never done a photo shoot together. I have once before and this was his first time. We were going to be on vacation in HI for a wedding and decided to look into some photography for our pregnancy announcement photos. LeLuxe was very responsive in the scheduling process and gave us lots of info on what to bring and what to expect. I thought their pictures previewed were great and they were running a special on the package we were interested in. Our family always stays in Kihei on Maui so that was also a factor. Our photographers were Kyle and Lena. Kyle did a great job coaching us through the process and was very comforting since we hadn't ever done this before. He was really good about making sure he got the shots we wanted as well as a few he liked as well. At the end of the session he said it would take 7-10 business days for the link to our pictures where we would choose 25 edited images we loved. (I've done a similar session for the same price and only received 10 images, so 25 was a steal!) That being said we were pleased when it only took two days to get our link. We took photos 7/3/19 and had the link in the afternoon on 7/5. I was able to look through them all and choose our images which were made available to us almost immediately, same day! Obviously we aren't from this area but I would highly recommend them to anyone local or visiting. And we would be happy to use the same company one day when we return with our little one. Mahalo LeLuxe! We really enjoyed our time with you! read more

Excellent experience with LeLuxe, and would fully recommend! Kyle was easy to coordinate with over text on packages, pricing, location & time of day - and his advice was spot on: for a family with kids, definitely go with 60 minutes (time flies by!), and while we thought we knew of a perfect beach, their recommendation was even better! Umida was our photographer and she was so wonderful with kids, and she knew how to maximize the time to perfection. She was energetic, creative, and - most importantly - a wonderful photographer! We were inexperienced with family shoots - so we let her guide us, and we couldn't be more delighted by the results. Thanks, Umida & Kyle! read more

I cannot say enough amazing things about this incredible team!! First and foremost, they're kindness and communication is second to none! The photographer was incredibly patient and warm with children. She captured the background, light, and smiles beautifully! Kyle's communication, commitment, and understanding deserves a 10/10! Highly recommend selecting LeLuxe for family pictures! Would love the opportunity to work with them again!! read more

WOW. I honestly don't know where to begin... perhaps I can start by sharing just how enthused Kyle and Lena were throughout the entire shoot or end it with how amazing the images actually turned out but truthfully, I doubt that would even be enough to tell you just how great this dynamic duo really is. Our little family (husband, son, and I) have had several photo shoots done and it's without question that these guys were the absolute best to work with (this includes our Bay Area wedding photographer based in California). Although I appreciated their punctuality, knowledge, passion, patience, open-mind, wittiness, I especially loved how natural it was for them to work with children (our son is a shy toddler) while seamlessly bringing out the best in him; it's evident they've found their niche! All in all, if you're looking for the best photographers Maui has to offer, look no further! (: read more

Where to begin? I'm amazed at how beautiful my pictures turned out. Amazed not because I doubted their ability.... I did my research and being a fellow photographer I knew exactly what I was looking for, their portfolio fit the bill! I'm amazed because we showed up and my 4 year old was in TOTAL melt down mode tears streaming down his face, my husband completely aggravated by having to take pictures on his vacation and the rest of us living with the frustration. We were late I was mad, thinking there's no way we are getting good shots now! I was so wrong! Kyle quickly reacted to my 4 year old and by the time the shoot started he was laughing and throwing sand. My husband cracked a half smile which is about all he does anyway! My photos were absolutely beautiful I got 51 perfect shots of us in a very quick time frame. I couldn't ask for more. If you are looking for someone to capture beautiful pictures while you're visiting Maui I strongly recommend Leluxe Photography. You won't be disappointed, highly affordable, they work together flawlessly and it shows in the photos. This husband/wife duo is outstanding. They took on my meltdown, running late, aggravated, tired, frustrated family and made us look amazing. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! They are very reasonably priced too! read more

I did a photoshoot with LeLuxe Hawaii in August of 2021. It was my both my parents birthdays and we were also celebrating their 30th anniversary. My brothers and our significant others were looking to get them a special and memorable gift after all they've done for us. What's better than booking a photographer on our once in a lifetime Hawaii vacation of all 9 of us. We had Tenessa as our photographer and she was absolutely wonderful and sweet! I highly recommend. Best pricing and the best pictures. We did our photoshoot at Ironwoods of Kapalua. read more

Kyle and Lena were splendid to work with. From the very first step of reaching out to to last in getting us our pictures, they were highly responsive to our needs. They were very flexible to work with as we landed a location for our shoot and the pictures came out absolutely stunning! Kyle had a way with our son to ensure our photos had him smiling and enjoying himself. Lena knew just how to take the right pictures. We are so happy to have found them to do our maternity/family shoot while in Maui! We can't wait to return and do another shoot just to work with them again. read more

Found Leluxe on yelp and I am so glad my fiancé and I used them as our engagement photographers! I am not graceful and a little awkward.. definitely not good at modeling for romantic pictures.. but Kyle made it easy and fun!

I have gotten so many compliments from friends and family about how much they loved the pics and how well Kyle captured our personalities and relationship. Thank you Kyle! read more

We had pics done with Kyle on our 25th wedding anniversary . Kyle was great to work with and my husband definitely cracked him up . We haven't received our pics yet but Kyle did say it would be 7 to 10 days and we did pics on Oct 15th it's only the 20th now . I wanted to go ahead and start my review because I was a little worried about being rushed with only 30 minutes ( which is what I picked) but we weren't at all rushed . Thank you Kyle ! I can't wait for pics ! The sky was amazing on Oct 15 10-27-19 I wanted to add to my review . I received the email with my pics and they are great !! Definitely do sunset pics in Maui !!! The sky is amazing and Kyle was so right is pushing our time back 15 minutes!!! We will use you again for our 30th!!!! read more

My family & I had such an amazing experience with LeLuxe Hawaii. From the moment I requested for a quote on yelp, everything has been so easy. Communication, payment etc. Tenessa was our photographer & she did a great job directing us. The lighting and scenery turned out perfect. It's amazing how many shots we were able to achieve in that short amount of time. She was able to capture some beautiful shots of my growing baby bump. My 3 year old daughter loved her & smiled in every picture! Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to book a photographer for their special event. read more

My family and I had a wonderful experience with LeLuxe Hawaii. We were traveling to Hawaii and wanted to capture family memories on the beautiful Maui beach :) Kyle responded to our message right away and was very knowledgeable and helpful. Setting up the appointment was easy and straightforward. Tennessa was our photographer and she was awesome. She is friendly and made us feel comfortable.We told her what type of photos we wanted, and she offered a lot of great ideas and took the time to make sure the background scenery and lighting was good. We received the photos this week and love them! Thank you Kyle and Tennessa for the great family memories! We hope to work with you again next time! read more

Taking family photos is a yearly tradition for our family and decided to take this year's family photos during our trip to Maui. LeLuxe Photography was recommended by family and friends and we are so happy that we had them capture our memories. Umida was so wonderful and fun to work with! She has an amazing energy and was really great with providing us direction. Umida was also awesome working with our two young boys ages 7yrs and 4yrs. My husband had been in communication with Kyle and he was very responsive and timely. We were so impressed how quick the images came back to us. We received them while we were still on vacation! The team at Leluxe was such a joy to work with. They really made the experience fun and easy. We loved our images and highly recommend them to capture your memories. read more

I heard about LeLuxe from a friend who was also referred by their friend. I submitted a contact request form on their website and received an email response within a few hours. Kyle provided the pricing details and included all the possible additional fees which was very helpful. I was able to schedule a shoot that worked best for our schedule during our time there. Our photographer, Umida, was fantastic! We told her that we were not comfortable in front of the camera, so she coached us along the way and really made us feel more comfortable. She captured some truly great moments of our family. What I also really appreciated, was that after she had taken photos of us with her ideas, she asked us what types of pictures we would like to get as well. So whatever we had been visualizing for the photoshoot, she allowed us to explore that which was amazing! We received our digital gallery within a few days, before we even left the island which was a pleasant surprise! The gallery was easy to access and navigate and the instructions to select our favorites were clear and accurate. Once we selected our favorites, we received the downloads within a few hours. Highly recommend LeLuxe if you're in Maui or planning to visit. They had great schedule flexibility, pricing was clear and accurate, the process was so seamless and easy, and the photos were beautiful. Thank you team LeLuxe for a wonderful experience! Hope to see you guys again in the future for a sunset shoot read more

A couple of days after returning from our trip to Hawaii we received all of our edited photos and were stunned at how well they turned out. We worked with Kyle to setup 2 one hour sessions. One morning session and another session at sunset. He was easy to communicate with and provided all instructions to meet them at 2 different sites close to our hotel which would allow us to get amazing backgrounds. We thought it would be almost impossible to get photos of all the different combinations from our group of 17 (including 5 kids) but Ian and Lena were great at giving us direction and captured all of the moments we were hoping for. We are so happy with our decision to document our family trip and couldn't be happier with everyone at LeLuxe! read more

We have used LeLuxe Hawaii for our family photography for two occasions in Maui. We can't say enough about how great the photos turned out. LeLuxe was easy to work with. They made our photo shoots fun on both occasions. Highly recommend them for any occasion. read more

Umida was a pleasure to work with and our family photos turned out great! We had a three year old, fast-setting sun and crashing waves to deal with but she dealt with it all like a true professional and we are quite happy with the results.

I have waited awhile to write this review to calm down. As a bride I know we can feel very passionate about our event but after 6 months this situation is still unacceptable and no bride should ever experience this. ESPECIALLY the purposeful photo bombing their photographer was doing in my guests personal photos throwing up his peace signs in their shots( see attached picture)!!! A disgrace for any wedding photography company. First of all; There never was a contract and I take part to blame for not having Kyle put in writing all that he was promising. At the last minute he either under delivered on promises, made changes or increased expenses. Not something you need the day before your wedding. But I am not going to get into that because the other issues were sooo much worse Second; because his wife is breast feeding he tried to say she would not be there. I had to threaten to cancel because she is the true photographer of the company. Lena has an amazing art for posing the pictures, props and guests perfectly with lighting. I understand the butting of a mother and suggested she pump or take time to feed the baby during the meal and come back for the cake cutting but he said maybe at first but then the night before said no that she would be leaving. In the end the pictures she took were by far the best but she left after the ceremony and we were left with subpar pictures for the reception by Kyle and their replacement photographer who used a terrible light splash style that ruined most of the dancing pictures Third; when we were ready to go exactly on time for our ceremony he tells us to hold on for ten minutes because he needs to set up his equipment to record it. Every professional we hired that day came early to set up their equipment before their start time. Delaying the ceremony 10 minutes for a sunset wedding meant that we had to rush for our pictures afterwards and could only squeeze in a few before the sunset. They brought spotlights to light us up but it was obvious we were under them in the pictures defeating the beautiful sunset we had planned on capturing for most of the shoot. Fourth; they did not even take one picture of myself and my Maid of honor... not one of me and my dad either where we were looking at the camera. The only reason my husband got one is because he asked them to take it. I expect a wedding photographer to know what basic shots to take and for me to not need to coach them. Fifth; I expressed that I did not want to be facing the sun on my special day and Kyle insisted that it was for the best and that my husbands shadow would cover my face. It did not turn out that way and I had to stand on my tip toes so that my eyes would not water and at other points I had to close my eyes, during my own ceremony! And lastly if not by far the worst is the photobombing their photographer was doing in my guests photos of each other. This one made me outright sick to my stomach. There is absolutely nothing funny about that and is beyond disgraceful for a wedding photography company. I use Yelp so that others don't have to experience these situations. I hope this saves another bride from having her special day affected like this. I had high hopes for Leluxe but they are just not professional. It is a home side business that does not serve the needs of a real bride. read more

**updated** Stop. Look no further. You have found your DREAM photographer. Not only are Kyle and Lena lovely people to work with, they will listen to your ideas and make sure they understand what you are looking for, and if you are clueless like me, they will make suggestions and even brought items to include in our shoot. I'm looking at my images (finished ahead of schedule might I ad) and I am in AWE. It doesn't matter if you are getting married, renewing vows, or just want to capture some amazing family portraits like I did while on vacation this is the photographer to use! * I've never teared up at pictures, but they came out wonderfully. Let me start by saying, prices were affordable, kyle was easy to talk to, and when the day of our shoot came, they did the unthinkable... they got my daughter to smile! They worked so amazingly well with my kids, i have never seen a photographer be able to connect with them so quickly. This was the first shoot i have ever left laughing, instead of sweaty and frustrated. We had an amazing time taking pictures with them, i cant wait to see the finished images and will update my review with the overall product. Lena was in the sand and waves making sure she captured to perfect images. read more

Thank you Kyle and his wonderful Ohana at LeLuxe for making our photoshoot memorable and fun! We had two kids ages 6 & 2 and Our photographer Umida was amazing! She was very accommodating when we were a few minutes late to Palauea Beach, which was recommended due to where we were staying on the island. The sunset was amazing and the beach crowd was small, it seemed very private and intimate. Our photographer made the kids have fun as well as made sure we captured a few candid and action shots which we ended up favoring! check out their deals for 1 hour session and amount of edited photos. I thought they worked within our budget very well and gallery photos were delivered in the timely manner as promised. The best part was the easy communication with LeLuxe while we were planning on our traveling and arrival as well as day of (weather questions). I would highly recommend families take an hour of their vacation time to create invaluable family memories with the help of Kyle ( special shout out to Umida) and The LeLuxe Hawaii Ohana! read more
