Makawao, HI

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!

We loved working with Lacie and her husband for our engagement photos and wedding. After seeing how beautifully they captured my brother’s wedding, I knew I had to have them for ours. They made us feel so comfortable, and our photos turned out so natural. On our wedding day, they were perfect, very professional, organized, and easy to be around. We’ll cherish our photos forever and highly recommend them!

I'm Bree - With over fifteen years of experience documenting love stories in Columbus, California & Hawaii as well as International when needed. I believe wedding photography should feel calm and grounding. My approach is guided, not always posed; present, not performative. I step in when needed and step back when moments deserve to breathe. Your wedding day isn’t about perfection — it’s about connection. My role is to preserve the feeling of that day so it can be experienced again for generations to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Bree was such a fabulous person to work with. She made the day go 1000x easier and we truly could not have done it without her. She was effortless in her ability to help us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera which was something we were worried about. She was kind to our family and inspiring to our friends. If I ever did this day over I would want to work with Bree again. She is the person I would recommend to the most important people in my life because I know she would make their days as perfect as she made mine!

Love Knot Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (28 reviews)
  • Editorial style

  • Serves Makawao, HI

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
Isaac was absolutely fantastic to work with, and we couldn't be happier we chose Love Knot Photography for our wedding. From the start, what stood out was how much he cared about capturing the actual feeling of the day rather than just working through a checklist of poses. He and his co-photographer had a great eye for the in-between moments — the little glances, the laughter, the chaos of getting ready — alongside all the formal shots we expected. Looking through our gallery afterward, so many of our favorite photos are ones we didn't even know were being taken. He was also just easy and calm to have around on a hectic day, which mattered more than we realized it would. Weddings move fast, and having a photographer who was unobtrusive but always exactly where he needed to be took one more thing off our minds. One of the things we appreciated most: he and his co-photographer stayed well past the time included in our package, all the way until we started dancing. That extra stretch of time meant they captured some of the best — and funniest — photos of the whole night, catching our friends and family completely in their element on the dance floor. It wasn't something we asked for; they just wanted to make sure they got the shots. Isaac also went well beyond the package once it came to editing. Our contract included 300 retouched photos, but we ended up with around 550 edited images and 717 total files between web and print resolution, including alternate crops and versions of several favorites. It's clear he genuinely cared about giving us as much of the day as possible, not just fulfilling a contract. We're so glad we chose Love Knot Photography, and we'll be treasuring these photos for years to come. If you're looking for a photographer who will genuinely capture your day rather than just document it, Isaac is who you want.

JustJess Photography is focused on creating ethereal, cinematic moody photographs capturing the genuine moments between her couples. Client connection is super important in the process of planning your wedding and connecting with your photographer. Jess makes sure to get to know her clients before meeting on your wedding day, making the experience unforgettable.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess was absolutely incredible to work with for our bridal portraits. From the inquiry process to the delivery of our photos, the process was seamless. She responded to my message quickly and enthusiastically and I could tell she was genuinely excited to help bring our vision to life. She also helped us plan and brainstorm for our session. Being in front of the camera can be a little nerve wracking for my husband and me but Jess gave us really clear and helpful guidance that put us at ease. If you look at her work, it’s clear that she has an incredible eye for composition and what she delivered to us definitely matched what I had seen and more. The photos we received back are so unique and a little unconventional but still felt very“us”. I know that we are just one of many clients Jess has and our project was on the smaller side but it did not feel that way at all with how much care, thoughtfulness and effort she put into the process. I’d highly recommend Jess to anyone looking unique yet stunning photos—in other words JUST BOOK JESS. DO IT.

A creative soul, a love for romance, passionate to tell your love story. I am always seeking for true connection between humans, the genuine real type of connection. I believe, at the end of the day, these true moments, even the smallest ones, are what mean the most. Weddings are filled with these fleeting moments and the fact that I get to document them, stop time and hand them to you to be remembered forever means more than you may ever know. I can't wait for our paths to cross, to hear all about your ideas and plans for the day.

Xee was amazing to work with! She was the first vendor that my spouse and I booked as soon as we had our wedding date set, and she exceeded our expectations. Xee's expertise was evident on our wedding day, and her presence made us feel grounded through the chaos! We felt comfortable and had fun during our couple photoshoot, and photos with the family and bridesmaids. She also captured candid moments, little details, and the atmosphere of the day so well. After receiving the photos, we decided to get a wedding album for ourselves and mini albums for our parents. It's been a year since our wedding, and looking at the photos still transports us back to that day. We also truly appreciated that she respected our requests regarding privacy and posting on social media. Thank you so much, Xee!

Every wedding has its own rhythm. I’m inspired by the way a great film makes you feel like you’re actually inside the story — the anticipation before something happens, the quiet moments between people, the movement, the atmosphere, and the unexpected frames you could never have planned. I photograph weddings with that same instinct, moving with what’s already unfolding rather than forcing the day into a shot list or manufacturing moments. I’m drawn to interesting light, real connection, imperfect details, dramatic environments, and those fleeting moments that happen between everything you thought you were going to photograph.

Awarded Best of Zola
Caz was VERY professional, very kind. He had a vision that aligned so so perfectly with ours. I LOVE his approach towards photos, that he captures genuine moments not posed photos. We took around an hour of actual posed photos and after that he was in the background, you would catch a glimpse of him taking photos from around the room and let me tell you WHEN I GOT OUR PHOTOS BACK I WAS SHOCKED!!! They were absolutely stunning. He was so so kind and so so amazing, at a very reasonable price. I would give him more stars if I could.

Veronica is INCREDIBLE! From the moment we met her at our engagement session, we knew we made the right decision! She came prepared with pose ideas and made us feel comfortable, even though it was our first time getting professional photos done. She gave us a timeline for when we’d receive photos back, and sent us a few sneak peaks the same night! She communicated with us between the engagement session and our wedding, helped put together a timeline for the wedding day, and made sure to capture everything I had envisioned! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Veronica for any photoshoot, and plan to hire her again in the future for photos!

I have been photographing weddings for 13 years and I love every second of it! I live in the Hudson Valley, but I travel all over the world for weddings. I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

Jordan was the first person my husband and I hired for our wedding. In fact it was only a few hours after I got engaged that I ran to email Jordan after finding her exceptional work on Instagram! The only thing I knew is we HAD to have Jordan as our photographer. Since connecting in 2021, my husband and I have changed our wedding plans quite a bit. With each shift, Jordan has been accommodating, flexible, supportive, and most importantly, a friend to us. Every person I’ve seen since our wedding has remarked about the exceptional photos from our day. There’s a level of artistic expertise that Jordan possesses that simply sets her apart from so many in the field. The work is breathtaking and speaks for itself!
