Tara is so talented! She was extremely professional and efficient on our wedding day and was great at directing us in our poses while also leaving room for us to do what we wanted as well. Our hotel gave us about 4 options for photographers in our wedding package and we told them we wanted Tara or no one because of how much we loved her photography style. I'm so glad we made that decision. She was extremely prompt in delivering our photos. We received our sneak peeks the day after our ceremony and our full gallery lesson than a month afterwards. We appreciate all of her contributions to our day. She is so kind and so amazing. Thank you, Tara! read more

Tara is very professional, responsive, and easy to work with. Our wedding pictures turned out amazing and we highly recommend her for any photography needs! read more

High quality, exquisite photos! My husband and I were Lahaina residents and planned to marry in October 2023. We wanted to hire vendors with strong roots on Maui and Tara was born and raised here. She also loves pups which was essential because our dogs were part of our wedding. We hired Tara for our engagement photo shoot and wedding and all the photos were exquisite. Our personal preference is for rich quality photos that reflect how things actually looked, as opposed to filters and lighting changes to manufacture a certain aesthetic. Tara delivered every time! We could not be happier with her product.   We also want to share that not only is Tara a great photographer, but she is also a truly incredible community member.  Tara was one of many community members who immediately jumped to help Lahaina fire survivors delivering food and other essentials to the burn zone. She was also great about getting information to survivors to find various resources after the fire. After we lost our home and town in the August 2023 Lahaina fire, we had to plan our wedding ... again. We knew Tara was a "non-negotiable" and any future wedding date had to work with her.   We were so happy we had her to capture our special day. She was great with our dogs and captured exactly what we wanted. You cannot go wrong with Tara! read more

If you are looking for a photographer in Maui, here's your sign to stop your search and book with Tara!! We originally planned our trip as a babymoon and decided the week before to elope -a very spontaneous decision made possible in part due to Tara L and Tara T! Because we were booking everything last minute we didn't have high expectations on even getting a photographer booked but luckily for us, Tara was SO easy to work with and was so accommodating in helping us get everything planned, including working with Tara T who was our photographer the day of. She was absolutely incredible, such a joy to be with on our special day, and, as two people who are typically uncomfortable in front of a camera, thankfully helped direct us to some beautiful photos. We couldn't imagine a better experience and are so extremely grateful to both Taras to have these pictures to remind us of one of the best days of our lives! read more

I cannot write a review that does Tara and her associates any justice. My husband and I live in California and had to make all of our decisions based on phone calls and reviewing portfolios. It was so nerve wracking to make a huge decision, like your WEDDING PHOTOS, without actually meeting the photographers. When we first saw Tara's portfolio, we knew her style was just for us. After meeting her at our wedding we were thrilled with her as a person and a photographer. We aren't the most comfortable behind a camera and her and her partner made us feel so great! We just received our photos this week and we have been scrolling through them multiple times. I don't think there is a bad photo in all 700 photos she gave us! The way they captured the day as a story and sent it to us so we could relive the day was brilliant! 100000% would recommend and would hire her again. I honestly cannot say enough great things about Tara. Every photo I wanted and asked for, she made happen. Thank you so much Tara. If you're getting married in Hawaii PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE book Tara Lee Photography. read more

Tara captured our wedding in April 2024 at Olowalu Plantation House in Maui, HI. She and her team were absolute professionals and we cannot recommend them enough. My wife and I are a bit shy of a couple though Tara made us feel comfortable and made the pictures reflect that. The pictures came out amazing and we couldn't have been happier with them! We cannot recommend Tara Lee Photography enough and go out of our way/will continue to go out of our way to recommend Tara and her team. read more

Tara and her team did an amazing job capturing all of the beautiful moments at our wedding. There aren't words to express her professionalism and dedication to the art of photography. Tara was able to round up 30 people seamlessly and get them to smile at the same time and look in the same direction for the group photo. She was by my side directing me and supporting me the whole time. I highly recommend Tara Lee Photography. Here are a few samples of her amazing work. Lea and Jordan Vessey 6/21/21, Maui read more

I really can't say enough wonderful things about Tara and her team. Prior to the wedding, she was incredibly generous with her time to discuss thoughts, styles, and she was very open to our ideas. On the day of, she was so personable and easy to work with and as I'm looking at the photos from the wedding, she really truly was able to capture the joy the day. Thank you Tara for helping to make our wedding day so special, and thank you for capturing our friends and family so perfectly and artistically. read more

Tara did a beautiful job with our wedding. She captured photos that surpassed my expectation. I couldn't believe the beauty when we received them. From start to finish she was so easy to work with. There was only 1 photo missing from my shoot and its a photo of me, my husband with my family, the bride. We got one including my grandparents with my parents and siblings so its not the end of the world by any means. I also have some with my parents and some with my siblings separate. There just isn't one of us and my parents and siblings (my immediate family). We got one with his side, but missed mine by accident. There were sooo many photos so not the end of the world by any means. That would not stop me from recommending her to anyone. She is amazing and her assistant was just as amazing. Our photos are perfect and she captured all the perfect moments. She was extremely quick. She sent us 5 sneak peek photos the next morning and had the rest in our hands about 6 weeks later which was impressively fast. I would recommend her to everyone! She is fabulous :) read more

When we inquired she asked us follow up questions and shared she could help with setting up the ceremony and the marriage license process! This was a huge weight off of our shoulders and we are so pleased with our beautiful pictures and overall just an amazing wedding day all because of Tara! read more

Thinking of booking Tara? DO IT. The pandemic changed our wedding plans so we booked a last minute trip to Maui. I feel so lucky to have found Tara as she is the reason we not only have beautiful photos but she's the reason we were able to elope in a breathtaking location. She scouted out a few spots I was interested in and delivered photos and thoughts back to us. The whole process was super chill and we felt like we were in good hands. She knows what she's doing with the camera and she knows how to conduct the shoot so that you aren't left feeling awkward. Look no further, you need to do a photo shoot with Tara and be gifted with photographs you'll be cherishing first a lifetime. read more

Tara is SO AMAZING!!! We chose her as our photographer for our October 2022 wedding and could not have been happier with our choice! We had a zoom call with her beforehand to discuss our day, the family dynamics, and what we were looking for in our photos and I think that just truly shows how thorough she is. I felt so confident in our choice after her explanations of what to expect and how to prepare for the day. The day of our wedding, she guided us quickly and effortlessly (especially with the bridal party and our large family) and was just so efficient. She directed us in the ways she knew would get the best photos and made us feel SUPER comfortable with everything. From someone who often feels awkward during photo shoots, this was so appreciated! When we received our photos back we were STUNNED looking through the gallery - it was so special, and it was like living the day all over again. She put together our story so beautifully. Even our guests keep telling us how amazing Tara & Tara were the entire night and their feedback on the photos has been spectacular across the board. The poses, the colors, the scenery and everything that was captured during our day - just stunning. We are definitely ordering an album from her! If you're thinking of hiring Tara - DO IT!! You will NOT regret it. Thank you so much Tara!! read more

Tara was amazing to work with for our Maui elopement in March. The photos turned out beautiful, the turnaround was faster than we expected, and many people have told us they're the best wedding photos they've seen. We're grateful for Tara for helping us figure out where to have the elopement, and standing by for help and questions along the way. The day of the wedding, she was timely, kept us on schedule, and had a calming, professional air that we really appreciated. On top of all of that, her fee was very reasonable. Upon receiving the final edits we were blown away and the final product really exceeded our expectations. They turned out great in our photo album and that will be something we cherish for many years. I would highly recommend Tara without hesitation to anyone looking to get photos for any event in Maui! read more

Thank you Tara for helping us capture memories of a lifetime! Looking back at your work for our Chinese Tea Ceremony is bring me back to that day!!

Tara and her team went ABOVE and BEYOND in every way for our wedding photos!!! She was extremely professional and responsive during the planning process, providing CRYSTAL clear instructions of how to prepare and things to consider ahead of time! On the big day, she tweaked our poses PERFECTLY in a way that was flattering for every single person (a nearly impossible feat on windy Maui)!! From the getting ready photos, first look, wedding party, and even group photos, she was able to capture the beauty of the nature around us, and also the love and joy on everyone's faces!! She even managed to make the rain during our ceremony look like utter MAGIC!!! Oh and if you book a session during sunset/golden hour, you are in for SUCH a treat, that's all I can say!!!

She made the whole process less stressful with good communication and attention to detail. She also had great pictures. Highly recommended!

My husband and I were connected to Tara in 2019 through our planner and booked her for our wedding and engagement shoot. We have beautiful engagement photos hanging all over our house. Due to COVID19 we had to cancel our 4/22/20 wedding. We were crushed! Tara was so flexible and returned part of our deposit (which was so generous) and also said she could meet us for a photo session if we make it to the island before 2022. We had hoped to do a one year party at our venue, but since we're still in this pandemic many guests did not feel comfortable coming so we had to cancel that as well. My husband, myself and a small group of friends decided to still fly out for our one year anniversary. We met Tara on our anniversary night for drinks and then planned a little beach shoot! Tara surprised us and went above and beyond. She surprised us with a photoshoot at our venue. It was the most amazing anniversary and Tara made it so fun and easy! She is so talented and I am so excited to do family shoots with her in the future! read more

I cannot recommend Tara Lee Photography enough! Planning a destination wedding from afar, and doing all the planning and decision making based on emails, and portfolio reviews can be nerve-wracking, but this was the absolute best decision for a wedding photographer! I knew immediately when I looked through Tara's portfolios that her style was the perfect match for our "vibe" for our dream wedding/photos and we were not disappointed one bit! All correspondence before the big day was professional and timely. The day of the wedding, Tara and her team immediately made us feel comfortable and relaxed and like we had known them forever, when we had really just met! We received a sneak peek the day after our wedding, and our full gallery within the promised timeframe. Once we received our photos, we have not stopped scrolling through them!! They are absolutely amazing, all our family and friends agree as well! It is such a wonderful gift to be able to have these photos that perfectly captured our amazing day! We hope to go back to Maui and get family pictures done by Tara in the future! If you are looking for a wedding photographer on Maui, please look no further--Tara Lee Photography is the best!! read more

Tara recently took our maternity photos while on vacation in Maui and I couldn't be more happy with the experience! She was very helpful beforehand with communication, location ideas, and styling tips and was very open to any suggestions I had. While shooting she made us feel so comfortable and gave great direction. We just got our photos back (quicker than I expected) and I'm absolutely stunned with how beautiful they turned out! We will treasure these photos forever. I would highly recommend Tara to anyone looking for special occasion photos in Maui! read more

My fiance and I were considering doing a destination wedding in Maui. We flew out to look at some venues and to see how traveling to Maui was during COVID. My fiance and I don't really have many photos together, so I thought booking an engagement shoot would be great for save the dates, invites, and photos for our new house. I was a little nervous to begin since I didn't know Tara. Tara was us feel so comfortable and helped us pose. Tara asked us after each location to see if we wanted any specific poses. One of the locations was pretty crowded with other people and I was nervous to see how those photos would turn out. Tara was able to no get 1 person in the photo, and they ended up being my favorite photos. Tara was super fast at giving us a sneak peak of the photos. I absolutely loved them and could not wait to see the rest. Once I saw the finished product, I am so glad we decided to do an engagement shoot. The photos are AMAZINGGGG and photos I will love forever. read more
