Thanks for your video testimonial Karen & Mike! Read it below.
"Hi we're Mike & Karen from Michigan. We found Jen on facebook, she made it so easy for us to book and come here to Maui have a beautiful photo shoot at sunset. She gave us great places to go shopping for our clothes, great directions. We just had a blast and we will definetly book her again the next time we come back to Maui. Thank you Jen!"

Using an engagement session to narrow down and determine who to use as their wedding photographer gave them the ability to know for a certainty who the right choice for them was. Of course I didn’t know any of this until after they booked me for the wedding, and that’s when they told me that their Maui Photography by Jen was their best session, and the pictures were better than what they hoped for!
They noted that my philosophy of making a session fun is what they really loved. I believe that fun sessions are where great shots come from. Photography is more than pictures, it’s about understanding and appreciating the chemistry of love, the dynamics of emotion, and getting the heart involved. Balancing artistry and lightheartedness with capturing the beauty of love in Maui defines the amateur from the professional photographer, as professionals make the difficulty look easy.
Having fun in a photo session allows a couples chemistry blossom, and when their chemistry is combined with a working photojournalism chemistry, that’s what defines the posed shots from the WOW shot!
Shannon gave us a very kind review after she got her pictures. Heres what she said:
"What is not to love about Maui Photography by Jen? Jen is a photographer that is sweet, fun and talented! We had our engagement pictures done at Secret Beach this fall and they turned out amazing...every single picture. We also had a great time shooting with her. She even got into the water a few times to get the perfect shots of us. We are definitely booking her for our wedding next October in Maui and couldn't think of a photographer who would be a better fit for us and our guests. Need a Maui photographer for any event? Jen should be at the top of your list!"
Thanks Shannon for your sweet words! :)

At first like many couples they were nervous, but making a session fun is what I believe is the environment where great shots happen. Because though you can fake a smile, you can’t fake chemistry. Allowing ample time for a session enables a couple to become comfortable with each other in front of me, and once we establish a comfort level, then I as the photographer become part of the chemistry. And that’s the difference between posed shots and WOW! shots, the couples chemistry. As the photographer its my job to capture real emotion, and when that happens that I'm reminded again why I truly love what I do.

Here's what happened on the picture below. I was photographing some romantic shots of just mom and dad. The girls were off to the side gagging and were grossed out. I had to get them doing that! So I brought them into the frame for that one! :)

While there’s no doubt that a large family is a great deal of work and sacrifice, what an amazing blessing it must be to be have the opportunity to love and be loved as you mold 4 unique individuals, whose varying needs and personalities surely mean there’s never a dull moment. From this Maui photographers perspective the larger the family the more love to be shared, and that’s a blessing beyond compare.

Once your “Big Day” finally comes, it seems at the time to be a date you could never forget; the excitement, planning, drama and stress, combine to make a wedding memorable. However without realizing it life can get in the way, and when it does a spouse or couple who never intended to forget a wedding anniversary date, have.
Because anyone can forget, couples who look to prevention, opt for key dates that are hard to forget as a favorite memory aid option. Thus depending on your culture, geography or faith, choosing a date that’s unforgettable varies, but no matter whom you are or where you’re from, memorable dates really are “preventative medicine”.
Why if you are about to be married should you consider using such? Because forgetting a wedding date is and shall remain one of the greatest of marriage faux pas, and a memorable date helps to prevent such from occurring.
While we all have laughed at sitcoms, movies, books or plays that feature someone else forgetting their wedding anniversary, failing to remember your own wedding anniversary is a definite no-no. Thus at the turn of the new millennium a whole new generation of couples had a once this century opportunity to marry on a matching day, month and year.
As a Maui Wedding Photographer these dates are booked months, even years in advance; 01-01-01, 02-02-02, 03-03-03, 04-04-04, 05-05-05, 06-06-06, 07-07-07, 08-08-08, 09-09-09, 10-10-10, 11-11-11 and last but not least 12-12-12. For couples who this year chose 12-12-12 know this was the last of the unique all matching dates.
As a Maui Wedding Photographer weddings on 12-12-12 were shot from morning to evening. For couples who chose that epic date, congrats, may you never forget your wedding anniversary. For couples who look for a special date for your special day, remember booking a talented Maui Wedding Photographer is not a decision to be put on a “to do” list for later because finding a special date, and the best Maui Wedding Photographer is not something to be left to chance.
A word to the wise; no matter your date be sure to book your favorite Maui Wedding photographer early because competition for a memorable wedding date with the best Maui has to offer in a photographer is going to be competitive, as socially known dates are a favorite way for tomorrow’s couples to prevent memory failure.

Ten, twenty, twenty five, fifty years or more has led to this occasion, the celebration of lifetime love and treasured family memories. There can be no more wonderful way to celebrate the beauty of lifetime love than by bringing the whole family to Maui because Maui offers something for everyone; mountains, palm tree’s, sun, surf, sand, sightseeing, and adventure. Maui delivers everything your family could ever want in an amazing Maui family reunion.
Because Maui offers so much it’s important to preserve your Maui memories, those you will cherish a lifetime with the Best in Maui Photography.
Word to the wise; don’t expect just anyone to be capable of capturing the challenges of photographing generations of your family in a portrait you’ll cherish while capturing the beauty of Maui though because family photography is an art form, and like an art form, family photography demands talent, tools, experience, and dedication to perfect. Simply trying to go it alone or relying on someone who’s untrained in multi generation photography won’t suffice because just like owning scissors doesn’t mean you’re a hair stylist, simply owning a camera doesn’t make one a photographer. In order to capture the amazing Maui landscape and the chemistry of your family’s love, only the best in Maui photography will do.
If the best is what you’re looking for, the best in Maui photography would know how to help your family have fun, look natural, and capture the beauty of Maui simultaneously. That’s exactly what Jen delivers. As a photojournalist, Jen is an artist located on the beautiful island of Maui who knows the island and where to go for those “WOW” family portraits. Jen knows how to capture the true chemistry of family love in a way that amazes.

The second and best reason you should use a Maui photographer on your honeymoon is because unlike wedding photography, honeymoon photography is about your intimate love.

That’s exactly what Jen accomplishes. As a photojournalism artist located on the beautiful island of Maui, Jen knows the island, and as an artist she knows how to capture the passion, the true chemistry of love in tasteful portraits you’ll be amazed by and cherish for a lifetime.

1.) A specially trained Maui Photographer will have insight on the best "secret" locations in Maui to capture those unforgettable memories.
2.) No matter what you do, its just too hard to get the entire family in a beautiful picture. Either someone is not looking, you are running back and forth trying to set your own camera's timer, or you don't notice those signs or that bright sun in the background.
3.) It's impossible to capture your families beauty and the island photographing it yourself. With a specially trained Maui Photographer, whose creative eye and high quality portrait equipment, combine to capture the beauty of a Hawaiian sunset in the background or stunning beauty of the bright turquoise color of the ocean.
With the help of a Professional Maui Photographer your memories are not only preserved for a lifetime but the quality of the portraits are going to make your friends and family amazed at your vacation memories! Not just your families but for generations to come. With so many Maui Photographers to chose from how can you make the best decision for your family? From big families to small, couples and weddings, Jen at Maui Photography can help you capture your Maui Memories!

Enjoy this sweet family portrait session below.
Here's all the romantic details leading up to their Maui wedding.
*Tell us how you first met? Who what when where why? Give us the details.*
Tim and I met back in 2005 through a mutual friend of ours, Kelly, who was one of the bridesmaids in the wedding. Tim invited Kelly and
Jennifer, another friend (he worked with both of them years ago) over to his house for dinner. Yes, he cooked us dinner. Our mutual
friend Kelly, invited me along. Both Kelly and Jennifer knew that we were destined to be together. Over two years we saw each other
periodically at different friend's for get togethers and also at various venues. In June 2007,
Tim came to my door with a bouquet of stargazer lilies and asked me out on a date.
When did I know he was the one... Maybe when I had Tim over to my house on a work night, kept him up until 2 am listening to my music
, then I locked him in and he stayed the night. It was our first night together. I left for a family vacation the next day. He ended up calling
my parents house after getting their number from our mutual friend Kelly. I wasn't expecting him to call. I remember my family giving
me a hard time about a guy calling me. I didn't tell them that I just started seeing him. I knew he wasn't going to go away...
Tim proposed to me in March 2011 in Maui. It was our first night there and he asked me to go for a walk on the beach outside the
condo we were staying. He held my hand and then stopped. Pulled out the ring and asked me to marry him. My reply was,
"Are you sure?" He said yes and then I said yes.
We were looking forward to having our family and friends sharing the special moment (wedding) with us.

Tell us how you first met?
Jason and I first met in high school and then we reconnected in 2009.
Our relationship started getting more serious the summer of 2010. We just knew that we loved each other, all the memories from years past resurfaced.
He proposed to me on May 7th 2011 on the beach at the Oregon coast, he wrote it in the sand :-)
Jasons reaction to seeing his bride for the first time= Priceless
Its official! They are married! :)

Holly & David vowing to always love each other.
Holly's best friend renewed their vows too. It was very sweet they wanted to share their special day together.
#5-Avoid stripes, loud patterns, & prints. Yes, that's the typical Hawaiian print shirts & dresses. They are nice to take home but if you wear them in your pictures, its not flattering or eye appealing.
For Example: The guys could wear khaki slacks and a short sleeved white button up shirt. For the ladies, a simple sun dress is nice and flattering-see images below.
It may take some effort to dress up a little for your pictures, but it is well worth the effort! You will be very happy you did. :)
Want more tips on what to wear in Maui? Click here for the page.
Here is a beautiful example of what to wear. I love their choice of colors and wardrobe for their Family Portraits! Light creams and white are perfect for the beach. A great wardrobe selection-a pretty cream dress for the ladies, khaki slacks with a white button up shirt for him, and a perfect white dress for their daughter. Add a beautiful Hawaiian touch with fresh flowers in their hair. Love it!! Are you trying to figure out your wardrobe for your pictures? Here is a great model below!

Here's some ideas for props:
#1-Signs-They are my favorite. There are so many signs out there that the words just melt my heart. Theres really nice home decor signs you can bring, or very simple hand made ones. Theres some really cool ideas on Etsy you can buy there or make your own.
#2-Think Beachy-Anything cute and beach related items such as a large starfish or shells are really cute in your portraits.
#3-Antique Furniture-We can bring it on the beach with us and it really makes your images stunning!
#4-Picture Frames-We can get creative in all kinds of ways-if your engaged we can put your wedding date inside,
#5-Chalkboards-I love all the cute sayings you can write on them. Great for engagements, weddings, honeymooners, and maternity.
#6-Bubbles & Balloons-They are great for any session.
#7-Flowers-It doesn't just have to be for a wedding, embrace the hawaiian flowers. Bring a bouquet or put them in your hair, either way it will dress up your pictures.
#8- Make it personal-Whats your favorite hobby? Is it sports, music, or dancing? Do you love vintage? Heres an idea: bring an item that describes who you are, what you love, or how you met the one you love.
#9-Cars-Many rent classic cars to drive to their Wedding Reception, why not get some great shots? Or if you have rented a convertible we can get some cool shots.
#10-Sand-We can write all kinds of things in the sand to really personalize your session. Your wedding date, how many years you've been together, your names, etc. Other popular ideas are "Maui", "Love", & "Family".
Once you have booked Jen as your Maui Photographer, get the juices of creativity flowing. Start looking online for ideas, buy or make your props and don't forget to bring them. Tell me your ideas, contact me here. :)

Early morning around 8am: The water is bright blue. See an example here. A morning session offers a gorgeous turquoise ocean and a white sandy beach. Also, the beaches have less people. Usually the beach is empty in the early morning.
1 Hour before sunset: The lighting has a nice soft tone. It can get windy at times. The colors vary at sunset, it can be full of color or just a light golden shade. Below is an example of a session at sunset.

I love Maui Weddings!! It brings back the emotions of my own Maui Wedding! :) It was great meeting Michelle & Daniel. They've known each since they were kids! Its such a cute story. After chatting a bit we went outside to start their photography. They were staying at the Napili Point Condos which is walking distance to their wedding at Napili Bay. As we were setting up for their pictures it started raining! That's the only downside to this side of the Island. Its in the rain belt. If it happens to you and the rain does set in, you can drive to another location and it can be perfectly sunny! That's the nice thing about living on an Island. As we drove to Napili Bay we were hopeful the rain would pass us by. It did! We were all relieved! The rain went away just in time for their intimate Maui Wedding. They finished up and the sun was going down. I recommend to all my brides to make sure you have enough time for your Maui Wedding Photography after or before the ceremony. This way we are not rushing trying to squeeze in a few shots before the sun goes down. The sun did go down quickly after they signed their marriage papers. We captured a few images as the sun was going down. Their reception was held just above the beach at The Sea House Restaurant. Heres a preview of their Wedding Photography.

SURPRISE!!!
The ring you always wanted!!!
More about this photography session in Maui:
They were staying at the beautiful Westin Maui. It's important to me to be get my clients thoughts on what they want for their background. Everything is beautiful on Maui so you really cant go wrong. Most people are looking for a beautiful beach, palm trees, lava rocks, and not a lot of people. The Westin is a beautiful place to start for pictures but we cant photograph on that beach. Ka'anapali has restrictions against any Photography on those beaches. I suggested my favorite Maui Beach for their Maui Portraits. It has it all! :) They didnt mind the 1 hour drive so we set it up for a beautiful hidden beach in Makena. It was a perfect Saturday evening. I love seeing families happy. This family was so happy with their toddler. He is a very special baby to them and show him lots of love. I captured their family having fun together on the beach until Sunset. At Sunset the couple exchanged their vows to each other and a new set of rings. The love they have for each other is very sweet. Chae then surprised Samantha with another ring!! The ring she wanted!!! He hid it all this time. I love surprises! Thanks you two for letting me capture such special moments as your Photographer in Maui!

There are 2 times of the day that are best for Maui Beach Photography. Early morning and before Sunset. Each give a beautiful and unique light to your Maui Photos. For families with small children I recommend early morning. They are better behaved and have more energy in the mornings for your Maui Beach Pictures. When Miranda contacted me to capture her Family Pictures on Maui I suggested this. She said her boys even though young are used to their pictures taken, as she has them done every 6 months. Even the Photographers are amazed at how well behaved they are. We started discussing the best beaches on Maui for their pictures. Kapalua Bay was her choice. A very sentimental place where her Maui Wedding took place 10 years ago. So it was set. Kapalua Bay at Sunset for their Maui Photography. I have to admit I was a little concerned how the boys would be at sunset. The day came and it was unusually windy and rainy in Kapalua. We rescheduled for a few days later. The weather was beautiful and the boys were perfect! Normally Kapalua Bay is packed. Its a very popular place to snorkel. Usually you will see Maui Weddings going on as well. We picked the perfect evening, it wasnt even crowded. There are so many great Maui Portraits from this session. Heres a few of my favorite. Enjoy! :) Are you looking for a Maui Photographer?

When Holly & Curtis first started doing research for their Lahaina Wedding, they needed help finding a location. We started to chat about the different beaches in that area. It was really important for them to have Maui beach pictures at a beautiful area. I suggested a Kapalua Wedding instead. Kapalua is beautiful and has better beaches than in Lahaina. We decided Ironwood Beach Maui for their intimate Wedding. They loved it! Holly wanted her Maui Photos to have that beautiful turquoise water in the background. Starting the Wedding early in the morning is perfect for that look. It also has dramatic rocks for an incredible backdrop! Here’s some of my favorite Maui Photos from this Wedding. Holly & Curtis-It was so much fun spending the morning with you and being your Lahaina Wedding Photographer!

I had a blast with Eric & Jen! We met up at the Marriot in Kaanapali. Then we drove to Kapalua, home to some of the best beaches of Maui. We picked Ironwoods Beach for their Maui Wedding. I love it because of the dramatic rocks. Here's a preview of one of my favorites. Contact me if your looking for destination wedding photographers in Maui.
