Makawao, HI
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,200

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
These photos radiate warmth I feel that every time I open the album. They captured light and expression in a way that makes images feel cozy and alive. The video includes little ambient audio that adds authenticity, like forks clinking and guests whispering. They captured my husband’s laugh in the best possible way; that’s my favorite image. The team was discreet when needed and direct when organizing large groups, a balance I appreciated. They recommended a slight adjustment to our timeline that made a huge difference in capturing golden hour portraits. The prints we ordered have really good paper weight and texture which matters for keepsakes. We felt listened to throughout the process. They made planning for photos feel painless. Truly beautiful memories captured.

Throughout the process he's very respectful and is great at communicating exactly what he's doing. He's also open to experimenting and trying fun things in the moment.

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
This review is a tad late but I got married in November 2024 and booking with Bree Lea Photography was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding day. Bree's communication style is clear, welcoming, understanding, and creative. Her work is meticulous, intentional, high-quality, and priceless. Bree made sure our wedding day felt seamless and not rushed - she even traveled to different locations to photograph our wedding party hours before the ceremony. Bree had continuous communication leading up to our big day and never made us feel stressed. She even helped create our wedding day schedule when we didn't know where to start! She found herself in the city of my wedding while she was on VACATION and told me she scouted it for the best shooting areas...did I mention she was on VACATION? She went above and beyond with amazing communication, stellar photographs, and on top of that she has a kind soul and was an absolute treasure to work with. You would be lucky to book with such a talented, fun, relatable photographer for your big day! I'll def be reaching out to her again for smaller shoots in the future.

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 came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

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
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 reached out to Makenna for our engagement pictures, she was so sweet and made our session so relaxed and fun! She directed us on how to pose and was able to capture real laughs and emotions. We loved her so much we asked her to come to Dominican Republic to capture our wedding! She set up two meetings prior to the wedding and responded to countless questions and suggestions. She ended up staying the weekend of the wedding and was able to capture our welcome party, pool day, rehearsal and of course the wedding day. She not only was our photographer throughout the weekend but became our friend, as well as friends with all of our other guests! We all loved her and we are so happy she was apart of the best weekend of our lives! We will definitely use her again!

When you look back at your album decades from now, I don’t want you to just remember what you looked like. I want you to remember exactly how it felt. I’m here for the quiet whispers, the loud laughs, the messy hair, and the moments that leave you breathless. Because your love isn’t a curated catalog—it’s a living, breathing piece of art.

Shutter Lane Imagery was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, Jasmine was quick to respond, incredibly kind, and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her communication style was top-notch, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. The quality of their work is simply stunning - Jasmine has an incredible eye for detail and captured the most beautiful, creative, and spontaneous moments of our special day. As someone who can feel awkward in front of the camera, Jasmine's direction and guidance put me completely at ease, and the end result is an album I'll cherish forever. You can tell Jasmine is not only an amazingly talented photographer, but also has a beautiful soul to match. She was flexible, accommodating, and went above and beyond to ensure our vision was brought to life. I would recommend Shutter Lane Imagery to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about their craft and delivering an exceptional experience.
