Maui Wedding & Elopement Photographer

Timeless wedding imagery inspired by salt & sun

Love, Light, & a touch of salt

Getting married on Maui isn’t just about place — it’s also about presence. The way the ocean breeze caresses your hair. The soft heat of golden sun on your skin. The quiet moments between vows, when everything else fades. And being fully present for it all.

As a photographer, these are the moments I seek — honest, artful, and deeply felt. I approach each wedding with intention, blending gentle direction with space for real emotion to unfold. My imagery prioritizes true-to-life colors and showcases the island’s stunning landscapes. Using both digital and film, I fuse timeless texture with honest, in-the-moment storytelling.

Because once the day slips into memory, the photographs are what remain — a tangible echo of how it all felt.

I’m here for the kind of love that

leaves you breathless and barefoot. 

Aloha, I’m Katy.

I photograph intimate weddings and elopements for couples who want more than a pretty picture. You came to the island for something real — salt on your skin, wind in your hair, a day that’s entirely yours. I’m here to help you feel present in it — and to create images that hold all of it: the nerves, the laughter, the happy tears, and the in-between stillness you’ll want to remember always.

With seven years of experience documenting weddings in Hawai’i and a love for both digital and film photography, I bring a calm, intuitive presence to your day and an authenticity to your images. I’ll guide you when needed, disappear when I should, and capture what matters with an eye for detail and emotion.
