Getting married in Hawaii is not like anywhere else. There is something so calming and grounding about being in the heart chakra of the world (It's a fact).
I have photographed 100's of weddings and elopements over the past 13 years since moving here and helped many couples plan their custom elopement package. I only choose the best vendors, authentic heartfelt ministers, boutique florals, and simple and high end hair and makeup.
And YES it is possible to have a chic, intimate, authentic and classy elopement here in Hawaii, and avoid the tacky package deals that you may have seen in other images.
No cheesy cookie cutter weddings. No picking crowded beaches just because they're close by, getting married side by side with other couples and wilted leis. No ministers who have been saying the same spiel for years and are clearly tired. No florals that look like they were bought at the supermarket. And no over the top makeup and hair that does not suit who YOU are.
Everything is tailored to you, down to the location, the timing, every. last. detail.
No need to stress and worry from afar, I know how confusing it can be knowing what permits you need, which locations are OK to shoot at at which aren't.
Being a photographer here for the past 13 years means I have scouted all the locations, and worked with all the other vendors, I know what works and what doesn't.
When you send me an inquiry, I am the one answering, not an assistant, we schedule a time to get on a call, we vibe, we connect and we get to know each other.
I listen to your concerns, your ideas, and your needs and we tailor a custom elopement just for you.
Even our package pricing is customized to fit your needs.
I have shot elopements in jungles, waterfalls, helicopters, Haleakala Crater, you name it we've done it, so if you have a crazy idea, or something you want to run by me, let's talk!
I'm an empath. I see and photograph the intangible, the things I feel. It's about the emotion, not just the looks. The connection instead of the poses.
I’m always quietly observing the scene and considering the deeper side of what's really going on. Documentary style moments, details captured that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Visually taking in the landscape and every detail of what is unfolding moment by moment.
I have been a photographer here on Maui and the Hawaiian islands for the last 13 years and know it like the back of my hand.

Amy is artistic, thoughtful, patient and warm. She made us feel completely at ease and her photos were far more beautiful than anything we could have imagined. She was organized, communicative and incredibly easy to work with - her photos will be cherished by our entire family for many years to come. We are so glad to have had the chance to work with her and absolutely recommend her for your event!

"Leading up to the wedding she was very professional and prompt in her messages and responses. She really listened to us to get an idea of what we wanted.
She spent the day with us and we couldn't be happier with the results. Even when the weather changed and temps dropped where we were all pretty chilly, she was still capturing the day and moments and the results were stunning. Even though we eloped; our friends and family said the pictures were so perfect and detailed that it made them feel as if they were there with us. We can't recommend Amy enough and we are so happy to have our special day captured by her. "

We wanted and needed a feeling, a vibe, a spark while we tried to determine who we would want to do our engagement and wedding photos. Amy’s style fulfilled that. I knew I found something right away. But I let it sit for a while, contemplated and compared others that I liked, but all I could think about was how I could not have my photos done by anyone but her. Amy was wonderful from the get-go. During the phase we were getting to know each other and figuring out if it was the right fit, the process was smooth and seamless. It was easy, and I am a stress ball, so that says a lot.
