Penny was incredibly friendly, patient, and thoughtful--she took her time capturing the most beautiful moments and made everyone feel so comfortable. One of the things that meant the most to us was how sweet she was with our two daughters. She made the session fun and stress-free for them, which allowed my husband and I to relax and enjoy our time in front of the camera. With the amazing help of our wedding coordinator, Darcie, we were even able to sneak away for some special photos of just the two of us while Darcie played with the girls. It was such a blessing, and we cannot thank them enough. Our photos are stunning and we will treasure them forever. I highly, highly recommend Penny Palmer Photography to anyone looking for a talented photographer who genuinely cares about you and your special day.

We did the ceremony and photo session at Napili Bay Beach, with the sunset in the background. The sunset was spectacular and stunning.

I cannot recommend Ana enough. Photography was one of the most important parts of our wedding, and…read morewe honestly did not know it was possible for us to have photos of ourselves this good. We are so excited to look back on them for years to come. We had high winds during photos, and she made it look like a planned part of the shoot.

I do not naturally know how to take great photos, but she knew exactly how to guide me and made us look awesome.

She provided guidelines on what to wear and expectations for the photoshoot. Of all the photographers I reached out to, she was most responsive. Really gave me peace of mind as I was planning the rest of our trip. We had two little ones (8 months and 21 months) and she was incredible with them. Our family are not picture people so we did need a lot of direction on poses, how to stand, different picture types, etc. She did a wonderful job of capturing the moment for our family and we are so proud to share these beautiful pictures she took for us with friends and family. We LOVE the photos! I would recommend her to anyone looking to have their photos taken in Maui.

A wedding in September was great cause the weather was perfect....not crazy hot but definitely warm, and the humidity wasn't as high as I thought it might be.....and because this time is supposed to be off season...the crowds were just right to where it was still happening but we didn't wait long for a table anywhere.

We are from Dallas, TX, so we did all of our searching online. One of the first things that really stood out to us was her beautiful website!!! We loved that she had a video about herself that showed us her sweet personality and we could definitely see how much she loves what she does. It didn't take us long to know that she is who we wanted to capture our wedding day. Once we had our date with her reserved 4.26.18 (next year - so excited!), we were also able to plan a separate trip to Maui just a month ago where Natalie was available to take our engagement photos. We gave her a little insight about us and the type of couple we are. She recommended the perfect beach to meet her at and even a spot for dinner afterwards. Once we actually met her, we loved her instantly. We weren't quite sure what to expect and thought we might be a little awkward. I will admit that it took us a second to warm up to the camera being on us, but Natalie made us feel so comfortable. We are not the couple that has perfect smiles on cue, and most of our best pics are candids. Natalie did an EXCELLENT job at capturing these for us. After a short while, we didn't even feel like we were on a shoot, but rather just having fun with each other. Not once did she make us feel pressured on time, and she took sooo many pictures. Even as we were getting ready to part ways, she stopped us for a last minute picture that she couldn't pass up. Part of having our engagements done was to have some photos for our Save the Dates and she had a few of her favorites sent over within two days. She let us know it would be a couple of weeks to get all the images back, and we were so excited once we finally received them. We were blown away by the amount of amazing photos she captured. She definitely knows how to get the best of the natural lighting and capturing our personalities. We can't wait to have Natalie with us on our wedding day and would recommend her for any occasion. You will be in great hands and have THE best pictures!

What can I say about Miss Natalie? She is an absolute angel!…read more My husband and I booked her as our wedding photographer this last June and she was amazing to say the least! We became immediately comfortable with her, which is extremely important with any photographer. She got all the shots that we asked for, and it was so much fun to see our wedding day again in pictures. All of them were so perfect!!! I recommend Natalie to anyone having their wedding on Maui, especially to those couples having a destination wedding! Trust me when I say, she is not only professional and talented, but is a sweetheart and clearly enjoys what she does. Natalie is the photographer to book! We truly appreciate you Natalie, thank you so much! Michael & Felicia

I have…read morenever liked having my photo taken because I always have a very unnatural posed look that makes me look phony, but she really knew how to relax me and make me comfortable. Not only was the experience super-fun, the lighting on the photos was so perfect and professional, she absolutely caught my best angles and in the best light. She edited the photos after but not so much that it took off 25 years or made me look like someone I'm not. She knows just how much 'perfecting' to do without going overboard. The results were beyond anything I could have ever done myself (and my husband is a photographer!). I highly recommend her work to anyone who needs professional headshots or family photos. You won't regret it!

She made great recommendations on location, timing, and convenience for our toddler. She arrived at the location early to scope out the best spots. Taking photos with a toddler can be quite unpredictable, but Jana gave us great direction, was quick, creative and very personable. Our daughter had a great connection with Jana; she was very patient and captured her personality so well. Jana's amazing work was featured in Hawaii Wedding Style magazine. To my surprise, our wedding photo was also featured in the magazine. Jana, you are a phenomenal photographer. We're so lucky to have met you and are beyond grateful for your talent and passion. We will cherish these photos forever.  March 2016 - Our wedding day at Olowalu Plantation House March 2017 - 1 year wedding anniversary at Secret Cove Beach  March 2021 - Ironwoods Kapalua - family photos March 2024 - Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa Maui - an impromptu 8th wedding anniversary/family shoot.

After inquiring with several photographers, I decided to go with them because I loved the way they used light to capture the beauty of the people and beautiful scenery. Wow, am I glad I chose them. From the start, they were amazing to work with. I was not sure what location(s) I wanted to take photos at and Bri provided several options and sample photos that they took at each location so that I could make an informed decision about where I wanted to take the pictures. They also use an online portal to make the engagement process super quick and easy. When the day of the photoshoot arrived, Bri and Josh made the photoshoot so fun and relaxed! They were so down to earth and easy to talk to, and suggested poses for me and my husband so that we did not have to awkwardly stand there wondering what to do haha! It was such a fun experience and I loved every second of it. Now, the best part -- Bri sent over some sneak peek pictures and I am obsessed with how beautiful they turned out. Their talent is out of this world and they are worth every penny. I am waiting in anticipation for the rest of the photos. :) Josh and Bri, I cannot thank you both enough for capturing this special time in our lives. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again, and to everyone reading this review, do no hesitate to book them for your photos. You will regret it if you don't!!

I refused and that's when they revealed that they had double booked with a wedding. They told me either I had to change the date or they would refund me. They made it out to seem as if it was an accident but it was a Saturday night and to me, someone probably asked to book them after I had already had a contract and they decided to put the wedding first because it brings in more profit. To me, that's pretty bad business etiquette. Why bother making clients pay a deposit to reserve the date if you're going to cancel on me when something better comes along? I told them I was pretty disappointed but they didn't offer any additional solutions. In all fairness, they were nice to talk to, their portfolio looks great, and their prices are decent but even though I did have other dates available, I no longer trusted them and did not want to work with them anymore. But now it's late and I haven't found another photographer so we're no longer doing photos in Hawaii which I do blame them for. Hence the one star review.
