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.

When we got engaged we knew we wanted a personal, relaxed, and tiny ceremony. We didn’t want to have to go through the stress of organizing a big wedding. But we still wanted something special. We still wanted beautiful photos. I still wanted to feel pretty, get my hair and makeup done, have some flowers. Enter Lexi. She made everything so simple and smooth. We barely had to make any decisions, because she gave us easy choices that allowed for minor personal adjustments. Our week in Hawaii was amazing, and with the guidance from Lexi, the day of our wedding was perfectly fit to us.

Aloha, I'm Mai, the photographer who will be capturing your day from start to finish. My passion for capturing your special moments is something that I can't get enough of. There's just something so beautiful in telling someone's love story through my lens that is just so magical it has me wanting to do it Every, Single, Second. I consider photography to be an Art of storytelling and I would be honored to be a part of your day. Allow me to capture your love story, so that you can tell it to others.

I came across Mai's profile and after reviewing her website I reached out with many questions. She was very responsive and after a brief call, I loved her energy and decided to go with her. The pre-wedding communication was easy and Mai joined us for our wedding rehearsal at the venue. On the wedding day, we worked with Mai and her second shooter Amy. They were lovely to work with and felt more like ohana than just our photographers. They captured our entire day and were so accommodating. While we anticipated our wedding photos to take some time, Mai shared a few sneak peaks and were blown away. After a few weeks only, we received our entire album and are so grateful and happy with the images. We can't thank Mai and Amy enough and definitely recommend them to anyone.

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
Absolutely phenomenal experience! From start to finish, Bree was a dream to work with. Her communication was clear, timely, and incredibly helpful, especially during the planning phase. She went above and beyond to help us map out our timeline, offering thoughtful suggestions that made the day run smoothly. On the wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease, which really shows in the photos — every shot feels natural, joyful, and beautifully captured. The pictures are stunning, and we’re genuinely blown away by how they managed to preserve every emotion and detail so perfectly. Bree was also a calming presence during those last-minute jitters, offering reassurance and keeping everything on track. If you're looking for someone who is professional, personable, and truly talented, we can't recommend Bree highly enough!!

As the bride’s best friend I was nervous how photos would turn out because we wanted them to feel REAL. And omg they nailed it. They didn’t just rush through, they cared about making sure every shot felt authentic. I loved how they got us all laughing together, the silly pics of us bridesmaids are honestly some of my faves. The video is crazy good, it feels like you’re watching a love story movie but it’s actually my best friend’s wedding. The editing with the music was so emotional I cried, not gonna lie. They also gave so much attention to little moments, like the bride’s dad fixing her veil, it just broke my heart in the best way. I can’t stop looking at the photos, and I’m not even the bride! That shows how good they are.

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
A few things that stood out the most about Isaac were how responsive he was, how he was able to accommodate to our budget, and how he took pictures from angles and views that turned out great on the photos. As a couple with demanding careers, I much appreciated how quickly Isaac was with replying to emails. We had a pretty tight budget, and Isaac was able to offer us a package that landed pretty close to our budget and only had the items that we needed the most (mini engagement photoshoot for the website and wedding day). Our ask for him was to get some candid shots as we feel pretty awkward in front of the camera. I personally think that the wedding day pictures came out more naturally because of the setting being surrounded with friends and families, and Isaac and Sushen did a great job capturing the candid moments beautifully. Isaac even had an idea for me to pose by climbing up a wooden stair ladder for a shot that I honestly wasn't sure how it was going to turn out while doing it, but it ended up turning out beautiful and magazine-like in addition to other ones that he asked us to pose for. Isaac put together a behind the scenes video that also showed the reactions of guests to our photo place cards before we had entered the reception area, and this was lovely in that we got to see our guests' reactions that we weren't able to see.

The one thing that caught my eye was her editing skills and the pictures she was able to capture. She will not only be a photographer for our wedding but any other special events that we will have in our new marriage. She is absolutely amazing and I was so happy to have her on our special day.

Together Carly and Elliot of Nomadic Love are the ultimate power team for your wedding day. As a husband and wife team feeding off one another’s strengths, they can truly maximize on so many more elements than a single person.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we reached out to A Nomadic Love, their communication was quick, detailed, and responsive. My husband and I no longer live in Dallas, TX and despite the time zone difference, Carly was always so easy to reach out to regarding any questions or concerns about our wedding day. Carly and Elliot were both extremely professional, but also so easy to work with throughout the entire process both before, during, and after our wedding day! Three months prior to our wedding, Carly and Elliot even came to our wedding venue ahead of time to test the lighting, which was a concern of mine since our venue was indoors and I was concerned about how everything would photograph, especially in regards to my bright red wedding dress. In addition, the two of them worked so effectively throughout our wedding in regard to the photos. My husband wanted to be surprised when I walked down the aisle, so the only opportunity to take couple’s portraits was after our ceremony prior to the reception along with getting photos with our family. Their attention to detail and ability to work within our time constraints ensured we got beautiful photos that perfectly captured the joy and love of our special day. We couldn't be happier with the service and quality of work from A Nomadic Love, and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.

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.

We LOVED our engagement photos but our wedding photos were/are something to obsess over. She captured the whole day really really well. If there was one thing that I would change I would just want more pics of the 2 of us laughing and having big genuine smiles. Sometimes getting your pictures taken can be a little awkward so anything to help with getting those big smiles on camera helps.

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
After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.

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!
