Meet Mike and Charli – the kind of couple that you meet and they instantly melt your heart with their natural chemistry and zest for life. They’re the kind of folks I feel like I’ve known forever and I was so happy that they chose me to be their Maui couples photographer. When Mike originally…
I always kick myself when I post that I’m a sunrise Maui engagement photographer. Why? Because getting up early is the worst. I, without exception, dread it the night before and toss and turn all night in fear that I’m going to miss my alarm. “WHY would I schedule something so damn early. I really…
I’ve had this one sitting in my blogging-bank for a bit now. But you know how when something is hard to write about that sometimes you just put it off? Well, that’s how I feel about this Wailea Beach Engagement Photography session with my buddy Taima. Taima was one of my first real friends here…
I typically don’t get nervous before proposals anymore. Since launching Engaged on Maui in 2015, I’ve personally photographed close to 100 proposals and my team has shot many more than that. So, needless to say, I walked into Kristie and Tagh’s gorgeous north shore Maui beach proposal thinking I wouldn’t have the jitters at all. I was wrong….

AJ is the head manager at Premier Restoration Hawai’i and Nicole is, nowadays, my nanny! They reached the 10 year milestone and AJ wanted to surprise Nicole with a really romantic night…
MAUI ADVENTURE ENGAGEMENT SESSION This year – just in the first few months of 2018 – has become the year of bucket list locations. It’s also the year of people saying to me “take me somewhere epic; somewhere that you’ve always wanted to shoot.” (like my buddies Katie and Jasen). This place has been on…
Engagement Session in Kapalua Donna and Rin are engaged and decided to do their engagement session in Kapalua while vacationing on Maui. These two really loved the appeal of Honolua Jungle in Northwest Maui. The Honolua Jungle looks ethereal and green and lush and everything that dreams are made of! I have to tell you,…
Adventurous Maui Engagement Session Where do I even begin on this? I’ve known Katie since I was in high school. We were buds then but became even closer when we started carpooling to college. We endured snowstorms, the dreaded Michigan construction, and college class woes together for the fall semester of 2004. When she transferred…
