All my family and friends love the pictures she takes, even before editing.

The Best Family Photo Experience on Maui -- with the Amazing Lisa Bernasek!…read more Family photo sessions usually fall somewhere between "mildly painful" and "please, make it stop." But our time with Lisa Bernasek completely flipped that script. From the moment we met her on the beach, she put us at ease -- no stiff poses, no forced smiles, just genuine laughter, ocean breezes, and that Maui magic. Lisa somehow managed to capture our family exactly as we are -- joyful, goofy, and (thanks to her direction) surprisingly photogenic! Even my husband, who typically treats photo sessions like a root canal, admitted he actually had fun. That's saying something. The photos turned out beyond stunning -- vibrant, natural, and full of the aloha spirit. Every shot feels like a little time capsule from our trip, filled with the warmth and beauty of Maui. If you want photos that truly capture the feeling of your time on the island -- not just what you looked like -- do yourself a favor and book with Lisa. She's a true artist, an absolute professional, and just a lovely human. Mahalo, Lisa, for giving us memories we'll treasure forever!

At eight months pregnant, traveling with my husband and our two young daughters, I wasn't sure how easy photos on the beach would be, but working with Graham made everything feel effortless. He was incredibly professional, insightful, and efficient. Graham had everyone in the family's name memorized upon arrival which was so sweet and just a reflection of how detail-oriented and kind he was. He guided us through poses, directed eye contact, and kept the girls engaged so we never felt stiff or awkward. He worked quickly while still capturing beautiful, natural moments, which was a lifesaver with little ones. What really stood out was how well he knew the beach we chose. He positioned us in the best lighting and scenic spots without wasting time wandering or guessing. After our shoot, Graham even texted us recommendations for places to check out during the rest of our Maui vacation since we had asked. That thoughtful follow-up meant a lot. Our photos are outstanding! The entire experience was seamless, warm, and memorable. We are so grateful and would recommend 808 Pictures to any family visiting Maui.

There are LOADS of photographers on Maui who can take pictures of you and your family, wedding, or…read moreother special event. Are they all good? Pretty much. Are they all GREAT? Hell no! Only one that I know of brings a truly unique, magical, and powerful artistry to the job and uses it to create amazing, beautiful, fun, and unforgettable images of her clients that will be treasured for years to come. That photographer is Alicia of The Captured Experience. Why do I believe this? I did a full day road to Hana shoot with her in January 2022 and it was mind blowing: I have always hated having my picture taken (because pictures look like me, and I've never felt particularly attractive), but I had a wild hair and signed up for a shoot with her. She made it fun, light hearted, and relaxed, and the images that resulted are incredible. And it's not just my opinion: check her FB and Insta for comments from other clients. If you want average, run of the mill pics on Maui, keep looking. If you want unique, once in a lifetime memories, she is THE ONE. You will not regret it.

Hiring her is a blessing, and you won't regret it. She is an absolute pleasure to work with - an expert who is dedicated to her art but also encourages her clients to have fun. We hired her for two occasions: A sunset portrait session (lots of laughs, as we splashed around in tide pools) and our wedding ceremony (she even helped with small details & fixes, while skillfully capturing precious moments on camera). I am floored & insanely happy with the photos she delivered. Each album is such beautiful a keepsake of our time in Hawaii that we will cherish forever...The pictures are epic, magical, and stunning! BEYOND WORDS. Beyond blessed to have her as our photographer!!! (And, we will absolutely hire her again next time we visit Hawaii!)
