I am a destination wedding + elopement photographer based in the Maui, Hawaii but open to traveling anywhere your love story might take me! Thanks for being here on my little corner of the internet - stick around a while!

If you’re here, you’re probably deep in planning mode, saving way too many tabs, and wondering how on earth you’re supposed to choose vendors from thousands of miles away. I get it. That’s exactly why I made this guide! Over the years of photographing weddings and elopements on Maui, I’ve worked with some truly incredible humans. The kind of vendors who make the day feel calm, fun, and actually enjoyable instead of stressful. These are the people I trust with my couples, the ones I love working alongside, and the ones I’d recommend to my own friends. So bookmark this post. Screenshot it. Come back to it later. Whatever you need to do in order to snag my personal list of Maui wedding vendors I genuinely love. Let’s dive in!

My Fave Maui Elopement & Wedding Venues

South Maui Gardens
It’s lush, tropical, and feels like a hidden garden oasis. Alyssa & Colton’s day here was unreal, and there are so many little pockets for beautiful photos.
