Every moment was captured so thoughtfully and were amazed by the quality. The photos perfectly reflected the joy and emotion of our wedding day.

Hi, I'm Lexi, the photographer behind Hitched in Maui. As a Maui local, I specialize in romantic, natural wedding photography for couples who value genuine connection over perfect poses. My style is relaxed, timeless, and filled with real emotion, creating images that feel as authentic as the memories themselves. I'm passionate about helping couples slow down, be fully present, and celebrate their love in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

Hitched in Maui helped us make our dreams come true! We had always planned to elope but this was better than we had imagined. Lexi made the planning incredibly easy and stress-free. She explained all of our options and answered all of our questions, making us feel at ease. Not only did she plan our entire day and coordinate our necessary vendors but she also captured our day through her talented photography skills. In addition, she genuinely cared and was prepared for every situation! I felt a bit motion sick on the way to our second location due to lack of eating and intake of caffeine (classic bride move) and she was there with ginger chews and motion sickness patches, eager to help me feel better. She checked in with me as we went along to ensure I was doing okay. We are so glad we picked Hitched in Maui and we would recommend her to everyone! We will never forget how special our day was and we have her to thank for it!

Hi! I’m Lexi. I photograph couples, weddings & elopements on Maui & the surrounding Hawaiian islands, as well as everywhere else in the world. I am devoted to story telling, to avoid the “posey” and focus on the real. I am passionate about imagery that makes you feel something. More than a cute kiss on the forehead. I want to capture the smirk, the look, the snuggle, most importantly the moment. Being a photographer is more than mastering your camera, it’s about showing up vulnerable to capture human connection. Love. Because that’s what life is all about.

Lexi is absolutely amazing. She is an incredibly kind, genuine human being and so easy to work with and talk to. Her work is flawless and I am absolutely obsessed with our wedding portraits. 11/10 recommend!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I finally saved up for our dream wedding in Hawaii, the best choice we ever had was to have Masha as our photographer! If you are tight on the funds, we opted out of a wedding planner and allocated are funds to a very good photographer. I am baseline awkward and she was able to make me look like a model! She is very professional, always on time/punctual with appointments and prompt email replies. She has a very in depth understanding of shadows, light, angles. I appreciate how she directs us on poses and she is very accommodating. She has a wide range of photography styles but we chose her for her editorial photography style like Vogue or Elle magazine, which is very hard to do. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had a backyard wedding with 110 people in April and Ella was my photographer. She was one of the best part of the wedding experience! Not only was she easy to work with, professional, and punctual, she is one of those rare people you'll meet in life who genuinely has your (and your wedding's) best interest in mind. Ella's package included an engagement shoot and she made the fantastic suggestions to go to a dog beach in San Diego (we live about 2 hours away). We received a big batch of amazing engagement photos and the best part was that she made the experience fun for us. My husband and I are usually very awkward, but with Ella, it felt natural to pose and just have a good time. Ella and her partner worked tirelessly at our wedding and we are so happy with our 800 photos that we received. She was detail oriented, organized, but somehow made picture taking painless and chill. Her photos were bright, cheerful, and she captured the mood of our wedding perfectly. I'd hire Ella again in a heartbeat for any and all future photoshoots. She is absolutely amazing and you won't go wrong with Ella for your wedding!

Hello! I'm an adventure elopement and intimate wedding photographer. We offer photo services for all sorts of small weddings, but specialize in hike-out elopements. I work with my husband, Joe, to make your dream intimate wedding or elopement a reality. I find the perfect locations for my couples and plan a fun adventure with lots of gorgeous photos, while Joe prepares a lovely ceremony (he's a Humanist minister) complete with guitar music (Joe's services are optional). We also offer all-inclusive elopements, complete with flowers, food, booze, cake, and more, so the only planning you have to do is get a wicked cool outfit and show up :)

Selecting Knots in the Pines as our photographer was hands down the BEST decision we made for our big day. I knew immediately meeting Victoria that she was the right match for us because she has such a genuine warmth and kindness about her that makes you feel seen and supported throughout the entire planning process and the day itself. She made sure she really understood who my husband and I are individually and as a couple so she and Joe could bring our vision to life. Having Victoria in our corner made me feel so much more confident planning a Hawaiian elopement from way out of state as someone with no exposure to Hawaii beforehand. She made sure my husband and I were informed on everything we needed to know to make sure the ceremony went off seamlessly and was our #1 supporter who thought of every last detail and helped guide us in the right direction! The process of taking photos with her was completely stress-free because she and Joe felt like old friends by the time of the ceremony. Joe officiated a very tasteful ceremony for us and sang and played music for our first dance. We appreciated the special touches involved in his style and were happy to have a ceremony that both had structure but felt intimate and relaxed. The photos themselves turned out STUNNING and far surpassed any expectations I had. We were overwhelmed by the number of fantastic, frame-worthy shots Victoria captured. To give you an idea, I created a “favorites” album and it literally included 400 photos, which is an insanely good value for their extremely reasonable prices. Our wedding included a variety of locations and Victoria nailed the photography and editing involved with each one. We are classic “awkward photo” people who have no idea how to pose, but with her guidance and vision, we kept hearing that our photos look like something straight out of a magazine and that AI couldn’t create a more beautiful image that Victoria did (in a natural setting with two normal people and a LOT of talent!) Our photos speak for themselves, but I can promise you that booking with them will be a decision you’ll be eternally grateful you made! *Note that some of these photos are screenshots because the resolution of the images was too high for Zola. They’re all crystal clear and high resolution.

Photography is an artistic escape I love to have fun with! I enjoy meeting new people and stepping into their lives while capturing the love is something that sparked my joy. Photography has been a full time passion of mine since I picked up a camera in 2017. I love spending most of my time out doors in nature so I've kind of got the whole location scouting down to a 'T'. Let's go somewhere beautiful and make some memories.

Emily was incredible! I truly don’t have words for how amazing our experience was with her! Working with her was fun, easy and her photography skills are top tier! My wedding photos look out of a magazine! I cried when I saw them. They were more than I could have ever imagined! I’m so thankful I came across her work and had the pleasure of working with her on our special day. She managed our wedding party of 18 and our wedding of 60guests with no hiccups, no issues and ran the show perfectly. I hope our paths cross again in the future! Thank you Emily for everything!

I approach working with my couples on their weddings from a place of trust and compassion, so I can document the day how it is true to them. No forced moments, no stiff posing, only true to life candid imagery. I’ve shot all over the world from Iceland, Ireland, & France to all over the Midwest, all the way to California and Hawaii, and I believe that you should say “I do,” in a place that makes you feel like home.

They helped us plan the flow of the day by contributing feedback and building the schedule, and we even got special moments, like a pair of bunnies that photobombed our engagement shoot!

Terra at Earth's Island Photography is an absolute rockstar. We are BEYOND THRILLED with our wedding photos (just look at them! they're incredible!) and on top of it, she was such a joy to work with from start to finish. We spent a lot of time looking at portfolios of different photographers in Hawaii, and Terra was far and above our favorite- and she captured for us exactly the beauty and love that we were so enchanted by in her portfolio. - Terra was so organized and helpful before the event, helping us with a proposed timeline for photos and travel (getting ready photos, ceremony, sunset couple photos, reception, etc), having us draft a list of the group photos we wanted to make sure to take, looking at examples for ideas of the kinds of photos we wanted, suggesting the best beaches for sunset photos, and even recommending places for our last-minute rehearsal dinner. Just everything- and it put us so at ease to have it all sorted. - She is such a kind and sweet human! She is so friendly and lovely, and made our wedding day just that more wonderful by being such a ray of sunshine. She coached us into flattering positions, she was creative and up for any shot, and she waded into the ocean and scrambled over lava rocks to make sure she go the best angles of us on the beach. Just a dream to work with. - What an expert! She knows what she's doing- and it shows. We loved that she had a ton of experience shooting weddings in Hawaii, and the photos she captured for us all day were just top-tier perfection. Her skills with the camera are exceptional, her skills with retouching are exceptional- she is such a highly-skilled photography professional and we could not have asked for better photos. Terra was so supportive, charming, and cheerful, she captured our wedding so beautifully and perfectly, and she delivered an amazing gallery of memories (faster than expected!) I cannot say enough good things about her- she is just amazing. Thank you SO MUCH Terra!

The Island Photo and Film is a wedding photography and videography company dedicated to capturing love stories with a timeless, natural, and cinematic feel. We focus on the real emotions of the day — the quiet moments, joyful celebrations, beautiful details, and everything in between — so couples can relive their wedding day for years to come.

Choosing this team was honestly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, communication was clear and stress-free—they always responded quickly, answered every question, and gave us so much confidence leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, they were incredible. They arrived early, blended in so naturally, and somehow managed to capture everything without ever making us feel like we were on display. The photos are breathtaking—every single one feels like a work of art, yet still so natural and true to the moment. I especially love the candid shots of our family and friends, because those are the little things you don’t always notice during the chaos of the day. The video is equally amazing. It doesn’t just show the highlights—it actually tells the whole story, with all the laughter, emotion, and energy of the day. Another thing that really impressed me was how comfortable they made everyone feel. Even people who usually hate being in photos commented on how easy and fun it was. Our guests couldn’t stop saying how professional and kind the team was, which made the whole atmosphere even better. The turnaround time was faster than expected too, and the quality blew us away. We’ve already shared everything with family and friends, and the compliments keep pouring in. These photos and video are treasures we’ll keep forever, and we’re beyond grateful for how perfectly the day was captured.

My fiance and I did our engagement photo shoot with Anna and Stefanie. The photos turned out more beautiful than we could have imagined! They gave us helpful suggestions for poses and made us feel at ease. We had a great experience working with Anna and Stefanie and would highly recommend them.

I am a lover of love and adventure. I am a pretty down person (I free dive with sharks so if that doesn't say something...) I moved to Hawaii in 4 hours notice and quit my corporate job to chase my dreams and here I am! I'm a bit of a minimalist like to think I'm pretty fun. I'm an ocean conservationist and use my skills to also educate people about human impacts and ways to make shifts in our own lives in order to help the planet. I am really big on quality over quantity. I would rather deliver a handful of WOW photos over a ton of average photos to fill a number.

Taylor Walston is considerate of those around her, kind, and efficient in her own work. She is easy going, yet confident in what she is doing and leads well!
