Photo Hawaii!!! What can I say? Jp and I married on June 22, 2016 at the Royal Lahaina in Maui My wedding day could not have been captured any more beautifully than how Chris captured our moments. Before even meeting Chris in person, since I am from California, I felt like I already knew him. The months leading up to our wedding day, Chris made sure that everything was organized. He knew what kind of photos we wanted and which people would be involved. He assured me that everything will run as smoothly as he could possibly make it. Sure enough, that's what was delivered. We chose a sunset wedding so we knew we would be racing the sun. Chris showed up at my hotel room for pre-wedding photos, I wasn't too stressed about the wedding but still my nerves had the best of me. Once the picture taking began, I instantly felt at ease with Chris. It was easy to take direction from him, not once did I feel rushed. He took amazing photos of our wedding ceremony and reception. After the wedding we were able to go to Chris' studio to review the picture he had taken. Usually the process of putting the pictures together normally takes 3-4 days, I unfortunately did not have a couple days since I was leaving for another island. Chris rearranged his schedule and was able to accommodate us 2 days after our wedding and present us 300 of our best pictures. All of his picture were very captivating. The pictures were full of color and they came out very clear. The black and white pictures were never too dark, the lighting was always on point. My favorite pictures that Chris captured were not necessarily the straight forward pictures but the candid pictures. I couldn't believe how many amazing candid "in the moment" picture he captured. Every emotion of my wedding was captured by Chris. Living in the moment of the photographs always bring me back to my wedding day. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Thank you Chris for capturing our special moments! read more

Chris is a phenomenal photographer. He is an extremely kind and fun person, with great creativity and professionalism that produced the most beautiful Wedding Photos. He captured the true spirit of the day that was filled with love and laughter with our family/friends in attendance. We also took photos at the beach for sunset - they are so incredibly amazing! It is of great joy every time we look at the photos- again and again. We love our photos so much, you made us all look so good! Mahalo Chris Douglass! read more

I cannot express how thankful we were for having Chris Douglass as our photographer on our wedding day (July 18th, 2017). Chris is a constant professional and made me and my wife feel so comfortable during the crazy process of getting our wedding pictures taken. His communication and organization skills made everything on our hectic day flow so easily. Also, on the last day of our memorable trip to the beautiful island of Maui, he already had a slideshow dvd copy of our special day ready for us, which was totally unexpected. The way he captured our wedding day told a story that my wife and I will never forget. All the pictures he shot were incredible and more than what we asked for. All I can say is if you need a wedding photographer, look no further and ask for Chris. read more

Peter did a phenomenal job you did at our wedding. The photos were quite simply stunning. We've shown many friends back at home, and we've received the following comments: ' I have seen alot of wedding photos (including mine) but these are by far the best'. 'Amazing pictures, in fact 'amazing' doesn't even begin to describe them!! They are magical'. ' I have never ever seen wedding pictures so stunning' These are beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. Peter was fun to have around and really mastered the art of engaging children and adults to get the best possible pictures. We would definitely recommend Peter's services to anyone getting married in Maui read more

Christopher Douglas photographed my family of 8 on the beautiful island of Maui. We have three little ones which can be challenging when trying to do family portraits but Christopher was totally on top of it! He was knowledgeable, patient, and creative. The turn around time with getting the photos back was very quick and his prices are competitive and very reasonable. The photos exceeded out expectations and captured the emotions of the day. His use of lighting and depth were captivating. My husband and I were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and wanted to have family portraits taken the same place we were married- now we will have these keepsakes forever. We are so grateful! read more

What an amazing experience!!!! Chris did an amazing job shooting our wedding. Professional and VERY personable. We didn't have any idea of what kind of shots to take and we put all of our trust in him. My wife and I were not disappointed! He didn't care about the clock ticking on our package...he cared more about capturing the love. Chris, Veronica and I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for capturing our special day so wonderfully. read more

We got married in November 2010 at the Four Seasons in Wailea. Peter was wonderful!! He was on time, fun, creative, and made the whole experience super easy and fun. Peter is a great guy and gets the job done. His photos are amazing!! He really goes the extra mile to make the pictures look perfect!! A day or two later we meet at his house and he already had a DVD of the photos ready. It was so exciting to see the photos so quick and be able to watch and show the photos on our honeymoon. In addition, Peter gave us a lift in his car to the ferry dock :) I would reccommand Peter to anyone!! We had a wonderful experience and had excellent photos to prove it!! read more

Wow! I do not even know where to begin! I want to keep this brief but words cannot describe what an amazing experience my husband and I had with Peter Thompson Photography! Our pictures are FLAWLESS. He captured every important moment of our special day. He made my whole experience so easy..all I had to do is follow his directions. Him and his assistant made my husband and I laugh the whole time which made for great pictures. If you are getting married in Maui this guy is the only way to go. After the wedding you get to meet with him at his studio and go over all of your pictures and options for ordering them. He doesn't pressure you to buy any but you will want to buy them all because they are all so great. Thank you Peter for giving us memories that will last a lifetime! read more

Wow, we were so pleased with Chris' service and professionalism! Sometimes, you're just really impressed with the customer service you receive and that was our experience with Photo Hawaii. When choosing a photographer, we were looking for the total package and found it with Chris. Not only is he incredibly talented, he delivers quality photographs with a great energy and personality that is so easy to work with. He was responsive, very helpful and kind. He was so flawless during the ceremony, as we didn't even notice him working. He's able to quickly capture the moments with such ease. He cared about our personal style, and even delivered our finished gallery days after our wedding. Highly recommend Photo Hawaii! If you're a bride looking for a talented, professional photographer who cares about delivering a positive experience, contact Photo Hawaii. read more

Pete was simply wonderful. He only had an hour to photograph and he got some really beautiful photos in that short time. He was fun, efficient, and was open to suggestions. He was also just fun to talk to. A couple days after the shoot we went to view the photos at his studio and he was very informative and not pushy at all which I really appreciated. Really nice guy and great photographer!! read more

I recently got married at the Royal Lahaina Resort on 06/04/18 and had the pleasure of working with Chris from Photo Hawaii. I'm so happy we chose Photo Hawaii as our wedding photographer! Chris responded very promptly to emails and helped to answer all questions. He was very professional, kind, and was easy to work with. Both my husband and I don't like taking pictures but Chris made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. I had a lot of shots I wanted captured in our 4 hours with him, so he was sure to keep us on schedule to get everything we wanted. The pictures turned out gorgeous! I'm so happy with our pictures and our experience. I highly recommend Photo Hawaii. Check out their Instagram @photohawaii_inc read more

Michael Cavallo exceeded all of our expectations!!! Michael Cavallo was a delight to work with. His personality and professionalism made us feel at ease from the very moment we met him. Michael made us feel like the most important wedding in the whole world. We never had reason to doubt his talents. He has a true instinct with lighting and timing. Michael was able to capture all the unique personalities of our entire wedding party. Our pictures turned out so perfectly beautiful. We will be proud to display these great pictures in our home for all to see. Michael was not pushy when it came to presenting all the different options for purchasing our photos. His kind, laid back attitude made it easy to review all of the choices we needed to make. We didn't feel like we had to make a decision right on the spot. Considering the high quality of his work we wanted one of everything! Great job Michael, I hope we will get the chance to work with you again when we renew our vows! read more

I was amazed at the high quality of the images and the fast turnaround! Everything I asked for and more - Chris and company did an excellent job of not just photographing but telling a story. I love these photos and love that I got a CD with all the images on it - wonderful! read more

We actually switched photographers about a month prior to our wedding because I fell in love with Chris' style and we are so happy we did! We can not stop looking through our pictures to relive our special day. From the very beginning, Chris was quick to reply to emails and you could tell he was very genuine, card about his clients, and really took interest in the wedding. The day of the wedding, he was prompt and made sure to capture a little of everything. He was like a magician the way he moved around so quickly from one spot to the next to capture the best moments all while remaining "invisible" throughout the entire ceremony. He captures great natural moments during the ceremony. After, he provides great instructions on how he wants you to pose for group and couples photos. I emailed him my wish list of photos I would like and he sure did his absolute best to capture all of those moments! The best part?! We left Maui with our wedding photos in hand because he had quick turn around time! He invited us to his lovely home studio and had our wedding slideshow ready to play with tissues on hand. All I can say is he did a phenomenal job and we are so thrilled with our photos! read more

BRIDES!!!!!! READ AND HEED!!!! Where do I begin? I booked Peter as our photographer for our wedding approximately 8 months in advance. After a discussion on the phone, he convinced me to also hire Tracy Flannigan from A Dream Wedding, Maui. I agreed, and soon after signed a contract with both Peter and Tracy, and also paid my deposit. During the next few months, I would go on to have numerous emails and phone conversations with Tracy, as we planned my special day. Two weeks before the wedding, I placed a call to Peter, just to follow up and go over a "shot list". Within minutes, the conversation turned bizarre. Peter informed me that I should have received a call from Tracy the day before to inform me that he would not be my photographer.um WHAT???!! Yes, in fact , he would be taking a vacation with his girlfriend that happened to fall right in the middle of my wedding. WTF!? However, I should not worry, as Tracy had already selected another photographer for me. So, he was sorry, but he trusted that Tracy would take care of the situation. Mind you, we had a signed CONTRACT! I hung up on him, and immediately began searching for another photographer online, with 2 weeks til the wedding. The next day, I called him again, and after a heated discussion finally got a "reason" why this had happened. Peter said " Do you really want me to tell you what happened?', I said YES, please! His response, " I forgot ok?? You booked it so far in advance, I forgot. What else do you want me to say?" I told him what I thought of him and hung up. I promptly called Mike Sidney Photography, told them the story, and booked them on the spot. The receptionist, Nicole was so kind and understanding. As for Mike Sidney himself? This man is a CLASS ACT! I cannot say enough good things about him. Total professional, caring, and an ARTIST! Our pictures look like they came out of a fairytale book. He truly saved the day, and on 2 weeks notice! Shame on you Peter! This is no way to create good karma for yourself. Brides, you have enough to be stressed about without wondering if your photographer will show up, steer clear!!!! read more

Peter photographed our wedding at the Four Seasons in Wailea. We loved working with him and are so happy with the photos he took! He was great on the wedding day - fun and easy going, making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We were so impressed with how quickly Peter delivered our photos to us. I know many people who have to wait months before seeing their wedding photos. With Peter, we previewed our photos less than a week after our wedding. After we selected the photos for our albums, we received digital proofs of the album layout within one week. We loved our photos and the album design that Peter prepared for us. Working with Peter was easy and hassle free from start to finish. I highly recommend Peter for your wedding day! read more

Chris from PhotoHawaii photographed our wedding on April 28th, 2017. We had our ceremony at Gannon's and had Chris for just two hours. In that time he managed to shoot the bride and groom prior to the wedding, our site, set-up, cake, all of our details, the entire ceremony, group shots after, and took us down to the beach immediately following it all to get some amazing sunset photos. It's less than 5 days later, we are actually still in Maui, and today we went and saw our wedding pictures at his home studio! All 250 of them--edited! It was amazing to have such a quick turnaround for the pictures. Chris photographed our day in a way that can be described in one word. Perfect. We love all our pictures, and loved our time with him. He made us feel very comfortable and not rushed whatsoever. He also gave great direction and kept us feeling at ease and natural. The entire day went smooth but like most couples we felt it went by so quickly-- luckily Chris caught our special moments and helped us relive them. read more

Chris Douglas did an amazing job on our wedding photos. He was wonderful to work with and made everyone feel very comfortable. The communication was incredible and he responded to emails quickly. Chris even had our proofs ready in 2 days and we were able to view them prior to leaving Maui. There were no high pressure sales to purchase more than what was included in our package but he doesn't need to as his work does it for him. Of course we had to purchase everything. Thanks again Chris for the awesome job and great communication. Everyone who has seen our pictures comments on what a GREAT photographer we had and wish you were located in Arizona. read more

Michael was so much fun to work with. He did the perfect job in capturing our magical day!
