A black and white photograph of a bride and groom walking away from the camera on the lawn of Huialoha Church in Kaupo, Maui. A lava rock wall separates the lawn from the ocean in the background, and the wind sweeps the bride's wedding gown to the side.

My photography style is timeless and consistent, true-to-life yet artistically refined. I capture a mix of candid, photojournalistic, and traditional portraits in a way that’s tailored for each couple. 

my style

I’m more than your Maui wedding photographer – I’m your storyteller. Each emotion and detail - the tear you dab away, the side-eye you give when sharing an inside joke, the attire and jewelry you carefully selected – that’s your love story. It matters to you, and it matters to me.

your story

My refined process and distinct skill set allow me to be an attentive and dynamic presence on your wedding day.

I’ve photographed hundreds of Maui weddings, so you can feel confident working with someone familiar with the island’s unique environment. And with my experience comes an ability to see beyond my lens. I’ll notice the strand of hair that’s out of place and lay your train across the sand just so.
