Highly recommend!!! Travis was phenomenal and so lovely to work with. He was amazing with my niece and nephew who are very young too, and get some great shots with the little kiddos. The shots are gorgeous and the whole experience was amazing (which as a previous actor) is not the norm with photo shoots in my experience. Would highly recommend :) Some of the shots below are from the shoot so you can see some of the magic he helped create and capture read more

We used the complimentary photo session offered by the Ritz and couldn't be more pleased with our photos. We scheduled with the concierge a few days before and met our photographer in the lounge of the hotel. She took our family of 4 to several locations around the Ritz property and down at the beach. She suggested poses and made sure to get lots of shots. When we were done we went out for dinner. She texted about an hour later and we came to view of photos. They all looked so good! We ended up purchasing the flash drive with photo release. She also air dropped the photo album to our phones. It was well worth the $$$. These are photos I'll treasure forever. read more

This was our 2nd time getting the pictures done from them and would totally recommend them. They accommodated all our requests- super responsive. And great pictures..... captured 4 different locations & moods in 39 mins. Made us feel like a star :) read more

Very pleasant people to deal with, particularly Travis,our photographer, and Patricia, who arranged our session and reviewed our pictures with us. Great experience overall. read more

We used the complimentary photo session at the Montage Kapalua Bay for our honeymoon. Having just got married and knowing how much professional photographers cost we thought what did we have to lose? The photographer we worked with was very nice and made the photo shoot quick and easy. We did one too many cheesy photos for my personal taste, but my husband and I are more the goofy type. She was open to suggestions and asked us if there were poses we'd like to do, which was a nice option. The most important part was she knew exactly where to go to get the best shots at the resort for our sunset shoot. Our photos turned out incredible and the video was really fun. We would have purchased more photos but we have gained a little "happy weight" since the wedding and didn't want too much photographic evidence haha!! (Pro tip: be sure to watch what you eat the day before you shoot, hydrate, and stay away from salt!) Last thing: for people complaining these photos are overpriced, you must not know the going rates for professional photography. Getting the digital images without a watermark is pricey, and I thought Pacific Dreams prices were high, but fair. You aren't paying just for the image, you are paying for a professional who knows focus, lighting, composition, shutter speed, and more. How much are your memories worth? More than a simple iPhone photo I say! ;) It would be nice if they offered a retouching option! (Perhaps they do and I didn't ask?) read more

Working with Jorge, James and Pacific Dream was so good, so fun, and the pictures so stunning we came back for a second family photoshoot in one week!!! ....My husband and I visited Maui for a combo anniversary/our daughter's 1st birthday trip. Since it was a special trip we really wanted to capture the memories; and pictures last a lifetime. I'd already had a professional shoot for her 1st birthday back home in Orange County but I'm super picky about the quality of professional photos and those weren't up to my standards so when my friend, who had recently returned from Maui, highly recommended Pacific Dream Photography, I decided to give them a shot. First off, when I sent a contact request form, James responded right away and was super helpful. We decided to book a shoot the next day. Once we got to Maui, working with James (our photographer), and Jorge (the owner) literally could not have been a more fun, pleasant experience!! Jorge was so kind and welcoming that we felt comfortable before we even got in front of the camera. Once we met James in person he was so down-to-earth that we knew we were in great hands with him behind the lens. He kept us relaxing, having fun and keeping our 1yr old happy and smiling for an hour. That's talent!! We booked a sunset shoot at the Montage Kapalua Bay and the photos turned out so stunning, and the experience was so great, we decided to book a second photo shoot during our vacation. This time we booked the sunrise shoot. We had all new shots and locations and the experience was just as perfect as the the first one. I highly recommend getting the video slideshow with your pictures. What a wonderful way to tie the story/emotion of your pictures/experience together. We loved ours and the music they set it to as well. Bottom line...coming from an avid photography fan, and one who's probably more critical than most, I've gotta say that Pacific Dream exceeded my expectations in every way. Were they worth the money? ABSOLUTELY! If you're looking for a fantastic photographer to make capturing you and/or your spouse or family a fun experience that delivers outstanding quality photographs, look no further, Pacific Dream Photography is what you want. So excited that they just opened a location in Dana Point, CA. Looks like we've found a new local photographer back home too. Yay! Thanks again to Jorge and James. You guys are great! read more

My dear James! Thank you for capturing our engagement in Maui! I am forever grateful to have you there that day! You went above and beyond that day! James was already at the beach before 7am waiting for my fiancé to proposed. You did such a good time capturing our love! Our engagement photos are perfect! Thank you for everything! Wishing you all the best with your future clients! read more

My husband and I took a short babymoon vacation in Montage Kapula Bay Resort, and we booked a session with Pacific Dream Photography. Our photographer was James Hoot, and working with James was such a fun and amazing experience. His photos are so professional, he was able to captured all the perfect lighting. When I received the video he made, it actually made me cry, the musics, video and photos are all perfect in this short video he made for us :) Before our photo session, I communicated with James through emails, he always reply immediately, and was able to remember what style of photos I want to achieved on the date of shooting. I highly recommend James because we simply love every photos he took for us!!! BOOK YOUR SESSION WITH HIM! you won't regret! read more

These guys were phenomenal. The picture session was quick (but not rushed), and James did a phenomenal job taking video and photo of my wife and I. The next day, an associate came to our hotel room with an iMac, displayed all of our photos, and we were glad to purchase them. Definitely a hallmark experience, if you find yourself at the Montage, be sure to take advantage of their photographers. read more

Hands-down the best photography company on Maui! They helped me capture the perfect proposal! Our photographer, Travis, was in on the whole plan and helped disguise the proposal as a photo session, while capturing great pictures of us in the most picturesque spots. He captured every perfect moment of the proposal for us to forever remember, too! The photos turned out great and were delivered digitally the next day! I definitely recommend Pacific Dream Photography to anyone! read more

I had an amazing couple session with my fiancé. Our photographer was very professional and the photos turned out incredible. We not only had the best time but also have some of our favorite photos ever. 10/10 recommend pacific dream photography! read more

We haven't had family photos taken in a few years so when I learned of the complimentary session offered through our hotel, the Montage Kapalua Bay, I booked it right away. Originally we had a 5:15pm appt booked but they notified me of a 6:15pm sunset cancellation so of course we switched to that time instead. I thought that was really nice of them to ask us if we wanted to change times. Our photographer was Tiffany and she was so easy to work with. She had great ideas for poses and we loved all the photos she took of our family. We were able to see our pictures the next day. I highly recommend Pacific Dream Photography! read more

We booked our complimentary session through the Montage and we were so happy we did! The photographer was really nice and made us look beautiful on the impeccable landscaping of the Montage and the beautiful beach. Now we have professional photos of our family to remember our 30th anniversary trip to cherish! Really happy with the whole experience of Pacific Dream photos! read more

Our family visited Maui in October and decided to be photographed on the Montage Resort grounds with Pacific Dream Photography. James was fantastic! He was very friendly and very good with our young boys. The photo presentation was convenient for us since the company came to our hotel room tos how us. We never felt any pressure to buy. The product is excellent, the staff very friendly and professional. We are so happy with our photos and definitely recommend Pacific Dream Photography. read more

My fiancé and I recently had our engagement photos done and they turned out beautifully! We had a great experience with Tiffany, our photographer, and Jenna, who helped us with the appointment and photos. We were so pleased to have great photos of ourselves in some of our favorite spots on Maui! read more

Working with Pacific Dream Photography team was great. They worked around our schedule, made us feel comfortable and got some great family shots! We are so glad we did. read more

We just did our second shoot with Pacific Dream. The first time we did it at the Grand Hyatt Kauai and we most recently did a shoot at the Montage in Maui. Everyone we communicated with and met was very professional and friendly. Most importantly, the quality of the photos are amazing. Great scenery, and no cheesy stuff ( unless you ask for it I guess). They pick a time of day when they know the lighting will be ideal. There is a nice mix of composed and candid shots too. Lastly they make a video during the shoot and it's very nicely done. All in all, a great experience and a wonderful memento. read more

I wanted to call our the amazing job Pacific Dream Photography (Tiffany) did with our family photos in Oct 2016. The setting at the Montage in Kapalua Bay is amazing, and I couldn't believe some of the photos Tiffany was able to capture with 2 young boys. They actually looked at the camera at the same time, and she really performed some magic. Would highly recommend Tiffany if you would like a family shoot with young kids. read more

Five stars! Tiffany and team did an incredible job despite the difficult "conditions". With two grumpy, hungry toddlers right before their dinner time we didn't think the photo session would generate more than a couple of good shots. We were wrong! Tiffany did a fantastic job and not only do we have a beautiful video but we also have a few dozen photos! And they were ready with the proofs the next day. Couldn't have been easier! read more

My fiancé proposed to me on the beach at the Montage and had photographer take pictures when he did it! He booked the photographer with Pacific Dream Photography through the Montage. Tiffany, our photographer, was amazing! She did a great job hiding and waiting for my fiancé to finally get me to the beach. The photos are beautiful and capture the proposal perfectly! After the moment was over, she had tons of suggestions for poses to do and asked if I had any ideas or pictures I wanted taken. We had a wonderful time, and I definitely recommend Pacific Dream Photography and Tiffany! read more

We stayed at the Montage Kapalua bay, and booked a complimentary photo shoot with Tiffany. She was great. Very friendly and patient, and had good ideas. Our family of 4 has a 9 year old and 3 year old, and she did a great job of keeping both kids engaged and having fun. Our gallery had a wide variety of shots to choose from, and I think it was the perfect mix of standard portrait poses and candid shots. We purchased a package that includes digital files and prints, and I'm really happy with the results. I would definitely recommend Pacific Dream Photography! read more

We had a wonderful session with Tiffany at the Montage Kapalua Bay. The weather did not look promising for the day we had scheduled but Jenna promptly called us well ahead of time to make sure we had an opportunity to reschedule. Tiffany made sure our family of five had lots of individual as well as group poses to choose from as well as varying backgrounds. She made us feel comfortable and the photos turned out great. Highly recommend using them! read more

We booked Pacific Dream to do our family photos. There were 11 of us including 2 year old twins. Jenna was great to work with. She was organized and kept things moving. The photos she took captured different settings as well as video. She focused on each individual family as well as the whole group. The viewing process was fast, professional and pressure free!! I highly recommend them!! read more

Our family of 10 booked a photo session during our stay at Montage Kapalua Bay. I wasn't sure if this was going to be worth our effort, but decided if it worked out, I would be grateful to have the memories captured professionally. Rachel, our photographer, was beyond professional and skilled. I've actually never seen a photographer so prepared, organized and adept at getting 10 people to do what was necessary to successfully complete our session (in 45 minutes or less) without the kids melting down or getting impatient. We had three generations, multiple families and my special-needs grandson, which all combine to make it a challenge to get good photos, let alone great ones. I was so surprised at the quality of the photos. The light was perfect and every one of us looked great. The next day, Rachel was again extremely prepared and efficient. She had already done her homework and had a process that made it SO easy for us to navigate the many photos and choose the ones we wanted. Simple and perfect. I would highly recommend Pacific Dream Photography to any one wishing to document their time in Maui. They made it so easy and without expending much time on our part. Thank you, Rachel and Pacific Dream Photography! read more

Our total family of 13, ages 5 to 75, were together celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary. Tiffany of Pacific Dream Photography took amazing photos and we are so happy with the results! What a great way to preserve the memories! read more

If you are looking for a photographer to capture your special moment at the Montage Kapalua Bay then you are in for a treat! Pacific Dreams had great photos for us to choose from for my dad's 70th birthday celebration. We were a big group of 16 with mostly kids and it was a great experience during and after when we viewed the photos. We were even able to get photos for our holidays cards! Totally worth the complimentary session. read more

Five stars for Pacific Dream Photography!!! Tiffany was lovely to work with; she was friendly, easy-going and flexible especially with the rainy weather- really going above and beyond to get us the best pictures/views at the Montage :) Thank you again for the beautiful pictures, we couldn't be happier with how they came out! I look forward to taking more pictures with Tiffany/Pacific Dream Photography in the future~ read more

James was amazing. He perfectly captured our family and children (ages 6 and 1) in the morning light of Kapalua. There were so many great pictures that we couldn't decide and ended up getting them all! He was also prompt in preparing the canvas we purchased (it arrived home shortly after we did) and followed up multiple times on the prints to ensure that we selected them as part of our package. We look forward to seeing James again on our regular trips to Kapalua and having him capture our family over the years. read more

Having our family pictures done was long overdue so when we booked our Maui holiday, it seemed the perfect time to take them. Our photographer, Deborah, was very friendly and easygoing. She knew her lighting and guided us through our sunset pictures with patience and ease. She took many shots and the nicest surprise was the video that she was taking all along and that became part of the slideshow. It was a great decision to get our pictures done with Pacific Dream. read more

This is now the second year in a row that I've used Pacific Dream and I highly recommend them! I had such a hard time going through my images with them because they are all great! I have never had a shot of both my kids looking in the camera and smiling..until now! The photo session doesn't take long, they take you to multiple places around the Montage and best of all, they have your images back to you by the next day! I highly recommend Pacific Dream! read more

We worked with James for our 26th wedding anniversary and vow renewal. He did a great job capturing great moments during our service without knowing he was there. After our renewals he had lots of great places in and around the Montage to get photos. We are very happy with the photos he took and also the video. James thanks! read more

Had a great vacation in Maui. Pacific Dream Photography photo session was offered through our hotel, the Montage. We weren't going to do it at first but it was the first time most of our family had been to Hawaii so we thought it might be cool to get some professional images to capture the moment. One of the best decisions we made! The photo session experience was great. They accommodated our schedule, changing times at our request us a few times. They came to our hotel. James, our photographer, was excellent. Absolute 5 star professional. Responsive to our wishes, patient, positive, and able to advise on lighting so that we were able to capture some truly great shots. It's no pressure to buy any photos, as there is no obligation. But the photos look so amazing that it is hard not to want to get close to the complete package. Our trip was over a year ago and I still think this was one of the best purchases we made there. Whenever I look at these photos, they still make me feel all the wonderfulness of being in Maui with my family. Thank you James and Pacific Dreams Photography for capturing these moments for us. read more
