Tad was a joy to work with! Very professional from the first email and responsive through many modalities including calls, texts, and emails which made it easy to update him on day-of timeline changes and photo shot list. He made us and our families/friends feel so comfortable on our wedding day, showed up early to ensure he was ready before start time, and helped organize everyone for the most amazing posed photos but also perfectly captured multiple candids that really showcased the emotion and vibes of the day. Cannot gush enough about his professionalism, expertise, and flexibility on the day. He worked seamlessly with our videographer and captured everything and everyone perfectly in both color and black and white (including our dog) and we cannot wait to share the photos with all of our loved ones. read more

Thank you so much Tad for your warm energy and for helping us to create the most beautiful memories for my parents! read more

My husband and I traveled from Ohio to Maui for a destination wedding. We eloped just the two of us, so our photography was very important to us! From the first time I spoke with Tad, I knew he was the right choice for our big day. He made sure to go over every detail with me. He went above and beyond his photographer role, and even recommended ministers, florists, hair and makeup artists, as well as restaurants for our first meal as a married couple. Being both of our first time visiting Hawaii, we were very appreciative of any and all advice! The day of our wedding, tropical storm Olivia hit Maui. Tad helped us through what could've been a very stressful day and never wavered in his faith, hope, and optimism that everything would turn out perfectly... and it did! We are so grateful for having had the opportunity and pleasure to work with Tad and know that anyone else who makes the same choice won't regret it! 5 stars, mahalo! read more

We had our 17th anniversary how renewal done at Kapalua Bay beach, and Tad was amazing!!! We had all the best ideas but was completely open to any suggestions that we had. He made the evening better than we expected, and showed us a preview of what he was doing. Cannot wait to see the rest, I am also going to be upgrading our package, just based on the few I got to see at the ceremony. Highly recommend him, he was fantastic!!! Thank you for all that you did for us today, and for all the memories that you captured!! read more

My husband and I can't thank Tad enough for the amazing job he did with our wedding photos!! From the moment we found him and called him up we knew he was the photographer for us! So friendly and helpful in answering all our questions and great in recommending locations. It took us far too long to decide on a location and we should've just listened to Tad from the beginning because we ended up going with one of his top picks. Additionally, we were very fortunate that Tad was so flexible with us, we had a lot of trouble getting to Maui from Houston and ended up having to reschedule the whole wedding the night before! It was a nightmare but we were so lucky that Tad was available the next day for us. I should also mention that in along with our ceremony pics Tad went out of his way (and over our scheduled time) to get pics of us tucked back in the trees near the beach afterwards and with the car we rented for the day and those ended up being some of our most favorite pictures. Tad's prices were beyond fair and he got us a few sneak peek pics within just a few days of our ceremony and the rest of our pictures came as promised as well! We haven't stopped getting compliments on our pictures and know we'll enjoy the for the many years to come! Thank you so much Tad! Hopefully one day soon we'll revisit Maui and get family pics with our newest addition! :) read more

We were in Maui for our honeymoon and Tad was able to set us up with a photography session on an afternoon at the Fairmont hotel and we were absolutely thrilled with his professionalism and expertise. Tad showed up early and greeted us at the hotel lobby. Tad was very kind and helpful throughout the session and knew some great spots throughout the hotel to take pictures. Our photoshoot took place in the evening before sunset so we transitioned from the hotel to the beach for the sunset and Tad set up lighting for some sunset pictures which turned out amazing. There were at least two other photographers on the beach at the same time but neither of them had any lighting. The best part was that Tad was able to show us some of the pics on his camera right after he took them so we could get a sense of how they looked, our wedding photographer didn't even do that so we were very appreciative. Tad did great work, had a lot of great direction throughout the session (which we needed) and was timely, kind and helpful throughout. We'll definitely recommend Tad to others in the Maui area. read more

Tad was amazing. He took the pictures of my wedding and he did a phenomenal job incorporating the details we wanted. I highly recommend him for your special occasion. read more

Tad's work speaks for itself! When my now husband and I were planning our destination wedding in Maui, I started researching Photographers before I had a coordinator and a date. Most of our family and friends were not going to be able to travel and I wanted "The Best Photographer." After all your wedding day is the most important day of your life. I followed Tad on Facebook and other social network sites for at least a year. I was always amazed at how he captured true images and I could see the photos as if I was there. When we finally set a date and contacted our coordinator, Kara with "Your Aloha Wedding, who is also amazing" I asked her if she worked with Tad and told her that's who I wanted to hire to photograph my wedding. I would show my husbands Tad's work and bragged as if I knew him personally! My coordinator contacted him for availability and he was available! It was the most exciting day of my life. The day of our wedding Tad was capturing photos immediately. My ceremony had to be held at a different site due to beach conditions at my original location and it was difficult for my guest and I to get to the beach. Tad was very professional, nice and fun to work with. Once the ceremony was over, he was kind enough to take us back to our original location which was accessible and safe for the brave at heart and got some excellent photos and sunset shots. Tad is very precise, detailed and knows how to capture every moment. He went above & beyond to get the best shots possible without us realizing the magnitude of his effort while we were in the moment. We look at our sneak peak photos multiple times a day and are amazed by the pictures that he captured. All of our friends and family that have viewed our photos cannot believe they are real!!! He has blessed us with a lifetime of memories that we can share with others. All of our photos are amazing!! Thank you Tad for making our day memorable and allowing others to embrace the moment through your work!:) read more

I was very disappointed in Tad and the service that he provided. My biggest concern was how he treated the guests and the maid of honor during the wedding. I felt that he was very unprofessional and did not bring enough help. Instead of being prepared, he asked guests to help with some of the shots that he took. This is absolutely unacceptable On the positive side the pictures looked lovely, but I do not appreciate the guests feeling like they have to work. I want the guests to have a good time and not be inconvenienced. Bottom line I do not recommend! read more

We couldn't have selected a better person to photograph our special day! We didn't have a big wedding planned, just an intimate ceremony with only the 2 of us in beautiful Maui. Even with a small intimate ceremony we were both a nervous wreck. Planning from across the country definitely added to our stress and our original photographer cancelled. Luckily, Tad was able to fit us in, holiday and all (Easter Sunday). We only had time for a few calls and emails beforehand! Tad arrived to the property shortly before the ceremony and from the first minute we met him, he smiled and joked with us making us feel like we knew him forever. Before, during and after the ceremony he was wonderful. We did a three hour shoot with him and he took us around the island stopping at some incredibly beautiful places. We spent the whole three hours laughing and smiling until our faces felt like they were going to break. He was patient, respectful and even lent us a hand walking down paths which led to some amazing areas. We are back home now and he has sent us some "teaser" shots, we can only hope ALL the shots are as amazing as the initial ones he sent. We hope to head back to Maui several more times in our life and each time hope to be in touch with Tad, if even just for an aloha and smile! If you book this guy, you will not be disappointed! We give him 5 starts for customer service, creativity, patience and his expertise. We are extremely happy with our choice. Thank you Tad Craig! read more

We were fortunate to have Tad Craig capture our wedding in Makena, Maui on 04/15/2011. Tad was a professional from the start, was an absolute blast to work with and captured some amazing images on our special day. When we first started the search for a photographer, the number of options on Maui was a little overwhelming, but thank goodness we found Tad. His ability to frame shots perfectly, his use of high end equipment (camera, lenses and lighting) and variations in elevation and background made for an incredible final product. He's a must for your Maui photography needs. read more

I hired Tad for a family photo session at The Four Seasons Maui - Simply put, I was blown away. Tad photographed my family, including my 2 daughters (5 & 8 years old) and my parents. He was so engaging with my kids, they never once grew tired of taking pictures. He made the session very relaxed and fun, taking great posed and candid pictures. He sent us a few pictures the next day to get us excited and we were blown away. He managed to capture so much love and the compositions were incredible. I cannot say enough great things about Tad and the entire process. The next time we're in Maui we will definitely shoot with Tad again! read more

From when we first met Tad in the planning stages of our wedding, up to the actual wedding day, he was amazing to work with, and very passionate about his work. Not only is he an exceptional photographer, he also offers a lot of advice in planning and getting through your wedding day. On the day of the wedding, he was early, courteous, professional to everyone, and liked by all. We saw him as a guest and not just our wedding photographer. He really likes to get to know his subjects, and the theme of their day really well. Tad has an amazing eye, and is able to capture beautiful candid shots incredibly well, and creates the most natural and spontaneous moments of your special day. We would highly recommend Tad to anyone, and will definitely use him again in the future!! read more

Tad just shot our wedding at Merriman's in Kapalua, and he did a phenomenal job! He was so fun to work with and had great, fun ideas to try! My parents had worked with him a few years ago for their 25th anniversary, and they also had a great experience which is why we decided to book him for our wedding. We have seen a preview of some of the pictures, and they are drop dead gorgeous! We really can't wait to see the rest of them! We strongly recommend Tad to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who is fun, personable and produces beautiful, top notch work! read more

Tad is the best. I cared about two things for my wedding: the people and the photos. Tad blew us out of the water with the photos - his shots are beautiful, artistic, and creative. We unfortunately had rain on our wedding day, and Tad turned that into a blessing by giving us a ton of amazing reflection shots off of puddles. He was super dedicated to capturing the best moments from our day - at one point he even laid down on the wet dance floor to get a shot of all of our guests hovering over him. Needless to say the photo turned out amazing and he didn't even complain about having mud on his back! We're so glad we found Tad for our big day - our guests are from far and wide were complimenting him throughout the day as well! Whenever we have another momentous occasion in Maui, we'll re-hire Tad in a heartbeat! His assistant, Marie-Claude was awesome too - both of them were just super nice and easy to work with... and above all, amazing photographers read more
