Marissa and Phil's love story kicked off on Bumble. Phil orchestrated a beachside proposal by treating Marissa to a ferry ride to their favorite spot on Lanai. Fast forward to the wedding - they wanted romantic photography vibes. They fell down the hashtag rabbit hole and kept circling back to my work. They craved those shots that capture the heartfelt family/friends moments and the wild, partying scenes. Ultimately, they wanted memories, stories, and a good time.

Hanging out with Marissa and Phil here in Maui was a blast. We clicked early on during the booking process and became friends. Their day in Wailea was solid – friends and fam rolled in from the mainland, mixing it up with the local Maui crew. The vibes were amazing. These two brought the feels with thoughtful gifts during their first look and put a lot of thought into their vows. Their first dance was perfection.

I have to give a shout-out to Hotel Wailea – a personal fave of mine. This venue always sets the stage for some beautiful wedding pics. Good times, good people, and good vibes – the recipe for a killer day! If you need more guidance on the best Maui wedding venues, click here to read this post on the blog.
