Sami & Josh

Maui Wedding Photographer Captures Elegance: Sami & Josh’s Joyful Celebration Under Hawaiian Skies.

Another beautiful wedding on Maui. We had the privilege of photographing Sami and Josh’s full day — from the quiet, anticipatory moments of getting ready, through a heartfelt ceremony, to the lively, joy-filled reception. It was an absolute honor to be there, witnessing each unfolding moment.

There’s no greater privilege for photographers than being trusted to document a milestone this meaningful. Words can’t fully capture how gorgeous and emotionally rich the day was; the smiles, the tears, and the small, private exchanges between Sami and Josh spoke louder than any description. From the emotional first looks to the bursts of laughter that spread through their friends and family, every moment felt genuine and true, woven together into a seamless, heartfelt story.

The reception’s sunset was a highlight — a warm, golden glow that wrapped the evening in a soft, cinematic light and set the perfect backdrop for celebration. Every laugh, tear, and quiet look felt honest, intimate, and unforgettable, bathed in that beautiful island light.

We knew early on that we were witnessing something memorable and beautifully authentic. It brings us so much joy to know these photographs will let Sami and Josh relive their day again and again — a lasting record of a wedding that was as thoughtfully planned as it was deeply, wonderfully them.

“I love Josh’s hugs. I always feel like (and always tell him) that when he gives me big hugs, it’s squeezing all of my broken pieces back together. He’s also so encouraging with anything I choose to do in life, my career, and in the kitchen and I have loved every second of learning and growing with him.” -Sami

“I love her compassion and excitement for others. Regardless of if it’s in relation to her or not, she’s always excited to see people grow. And I love her kisses and hugs when she knows I need it most.” -Josh
