We had Anna Kim Photography do the welcome dinner for our son's wedding, and the bride's family had…read morethem do the wedding. We could not have had a more positive experience! First - I had a special photo of my son and I (from when he was 4) that I was hoping to recreate on his wedding day. Anna actually brought the photo on the day and they took so many photos, and were so painstaking to even get the hand and body positions perfect. I will cherish the photo that they created! On the day - the team showed up well before our event, and they even mounted flashes up high, around the space (inconspicuously), so there would be enough light at our outdoor venue. They took pictures of everything - the layout, the flowers, and then they captured everyone's expressions as they arrived, and all of the laughter and love during the evening. We have received over a thousand photos, and I have no idea how we will choose - they are all stunning. Throughout the process, Anna was quick to set up Zoom calls (we were off-island and in another time zone!), and quick to respond to emails personally and promptly. She was warm and personable throughout, just a truly kind person to work with. Her team members are all very kind, energetic (!) and eager to do whatever is requested. I wish we could hire Anna and her team for all our events!

We could not have asked for a better photographer for our elopement at Four Seasons Resort Lānaʻi…read more From start to finish, Anna was absolutely incredible. She immediately put us at ease and made the entire experience feel effortless, natural, and genuinely joyful. Eloping can feel intimate and emotional, and she struck the perfect balance of being calming, professional, and wonderfully warm--never intrusive, but always exactly where she needed to be. Her eye for light, scenery, and candid moments is exceptional. She captured not just beautiful images, but the feeling of the day--the love, the excitement, the quiet moments, and the magic of Lānaʻi itself. Every photo feels authentic and timeless, not staged or forced. Beyond her talent, she was organized, responsive, and such a pleasure to work with. We felt completely confident trusting her with one of the most important days of our lives--and she exceeded every expectation. If you are considering her for an elopement or wedding, don't hesitate. She is truly exceptional, and we will treasure these photos forever.

From that evening on there was a turning point in the vibes of the trip. My mom even looked at me at the end of the photo session and said that she didn't care how the photos turned out, because she had the best time But luckily the photos are beautiful!!! It's so hard to get my niece to smile, and the photos that Michelle was able to capture are just priceless. Moreover, the editing on the back side was done so quickly, tastefully, and professionally. They are truly some of the nicest photos we could've asked for! The entire Karma Hill team was super communicative and helpful in making sure we were happy with the final deliverables. Our entire experience was one of ALOHA and we really couldn't be happier with our decision to book with Karma Hill.

Frank was very personable and instantly made everyone feel comfortable. We booked him for a family session, but he even took a few maternity photos for me and coordinated a surprise engagement!

I am already thinking of reasons to go back to Maui so I can work with him again. Worth every penny!

The Best Family Photo Experience on Maui -- with the Amazing Lisa Bernasek!…read more Family photo sessions usually fall somewhere between "mildly painful" and "please, make it stop." But our time with Lisa Bernasek completely flipped that script. From the moment we met her on the beach, she put us at ease -- no stiff poses, no forced smiles, just genuine laughter, ocean breezes, and that Maui magic. Lisa somehow managed to capture our family exactly as we are -- joyful, goofy, and (thanks to her direction) surprisingly photogenic! Even my husband, who typically treats photo sessions like a root canal, admitted he actually had fun. That's saying something. The photos turned out beyond stunning -- vibrant, natural, and full of the aloha spirit. Every shot feels like a little time capsule from our trip, filled with the warmth and beauty of Maui. If you want photos that truly capture the feeling of your time on the island -- not just what you looked like -- do yourself a favor and book with Lisa. She's a true artist, an absolute professional, and just a lovely human. Mahalo, Lisa, for giving us memories we'll treasure forever!

Caitlin is without a doubt, the absolute BEST! Aside from her quick emailed responses and detailed…read morequestions to ensure that we got exactly the pictures we wanted, she is patient and very sweet to work with. From the first correspondence via email with her, Caitlin has been very responsive and helpful. She responds very quickly and definitely inspires confidence when dealing with a vendor for a destination wedding. Aside from all of those wonderful qualities, on our wedding day, Caitlin was 38 weeks pregnant and she did not miss a step one bit! From the pictures of us getting ready to the cake-cutting at the end of the night, Caitlin was there and so full of energy, you would not have known she was ready to have her little one in a few weeks! She was going down on the rocks right with us to take our photos along the rocky shoreline. I am pretty sure she was steadier on her feet than I was! Overall, I have to say that Caitlin definitely made my wedding-day experience the best it could be! We are so happy having her as our choice of photographers!

Her work stood out to me from my very beginning research... it seemed every photo I loved online was one of hers!

On the day of she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and I 100% trusted her for all the poses/tips and could not be happier. My sneak peeks and final photos were delivered exactly when she said as well which was awesome. She is so extremely talented and has such a great personality too!

We have a 20 month old who was not very interested in taking photos and she was able to still get many BEAUTIFUL shots of our family. Very natural photos which have life and vitality. Not your typical staged, stagnant family photos. She is very kind and easy to work with. Great with kids! Other photographers in the same price point only offered half of shooting time she provided and only 10-15ish edited photos. She offered 1hr for 100 edited photos. Quite a significant increase in value considering her work is so excellent.

If you're looking for a photographer while on vacation in Maui- look no further!…read more Caitlin was amazing and responsive from start to finish. I searched a lot of Maui photographers through yelp to find one that took genuine and not super 'staged' looking pictures. I was really trying to avoid the typical 'beach' pictures. Caitlin achieved what I was hoping for. Our pictures are phenomenal. We are not super photogenic people and Caitlin was able to direct us into looking natural and comfortable. They look genuine and beautiful. The location and time of day that she picked were perfect. I was wanting a couple of pictures with a onesie I had made to announce our pregnancy.. I was aiming to just have nice couple photos with a few 'maternity' thrown in (I'm still very early in my second trimester so I don't really look it yet!) TLDR; book Caitlin. She was a delight and her work is incredible. Thank you Caitlin!!!

Jana captured some of our most treasured memories on Maui. This is a long overdue review (over 8…read moreyears), but better late than never :) During wedding planning, wedding day, anniversary, and family photos, Jana was very prompt, professional, and communicated with us every step of the way. 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.
