Hi ladies! I am getting married at Olowalu in August and am trying to decide on a photographer (among other things -- although I'll start with that one!). Does anyone have any suggestions for a Maui-based photographer? And, do you mind sharing how much you paid and what services you received for that amount? All of the prices for Maui-based photographers seem really high to me so I am starting to wonder if it would be more affordable to fly a photographer over to Maui instead.
Any thoughts/guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Re: Maui photographer recommendations?
I hired a photographer on the Central Coast here in CA who is the BEST. Her name is Mirelle Carmichael.
We aren't getting married until June, but it is ending up being a lot cheaper for us to fly her out there since she is looking to expand her destination wedding portfolio. Plus it was nice to meet up with her before hiring her, and to work with her for our engagement shoot too. Love her!
And, no -- I don't have a cinematographer yet. Do you have any great recommendations?
Anyways, we absolutely loved them. They are a couple and both are very talented and so super friendly. Here is a sample of some of our photos. <a href="http://blog.mauicreativephotography.com/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.mauicreativephotography.com/</a> (scroll down and look for the post titled "Mr and Mrs"
The best thing is that they give you unlimited coverage...they were there for about 8 hours and we also got an engagement session and photobook included. Plus 1,000 images! We really connected with them, I just think they are such special people. They are dedicated to their craft and not to the wedding industry- get what I'm saying? They're prices are really reasonable, but they tailor the packages to each individual couple.
I can't say enough about them. My husband is a photographer and is very picky and he loved them as well. Good luck!

[QUOTE]Thanks for all of the great advice and recommendations! I just sent out a bunch of emails to various photographers (both in Maui and CA) and will see what they say about packages and rates. I think it is going to be a really tough decision! And, no -- I don't have a cinematographer yet. Do you have any great recommendations? ;)

I wish I could know stephcap32's photographers much earlier. I saw her wedding pictures and I really think her photographer did a great job... but it's too late since I already booked mine many months ago!!
I really really love Anna Kim's works, but I can't justify her price... so I've booked her for one-hour engagement pictures instead (it's $750 plus tax)...

<div>I recommend Supreme Video Productions. He just started his videography business a couple years ago, so his prices are fairly low. He's passionate about his work and it shows! He's based on Oahu, so he can fly in and out on the same day...</div>
