Maui wedding photography is all about capturing love stories that feel as effortless and joyful as the ocean breeze. And Taryn and Andrew’s day was exactly that. Their journey began online through Hinge, where a simple conversation soon turned into something meaningful. Even before they met, Andrew’s kindness showed through; when Taryn caught Covid right before their first date, he checked in on her every single day. By the time they finally met, their connection already felt easy, familiar, and real.
Their first date happened on one of the hottest days imaginable, the kind of day that tests your sense of humor and your patience. But when Taryn couldn’t eat much, Andrew just smiled and asked, “Want to get ice cream?” Somehow, that small, thoughtful gesture became the first of many sweet moments between them.
Fast forward to Maui, the day before Taryn’s 24th birthday, when Andrew surprised her with a proposal during a photo shoot. It was pure joy and laughter, the kind of moment that becomes part of a couple’s shared mythology. Their ceremony carried that same spirit: simple, heartfelt, and deeply personal.
And when they returned to Maui to say I do, it felt like the perfect full-circle moment. On their wedding day, our beautiful bride, Taryn, was radiant as she got ready, surrounded by sunshine, laughter, and the anticipation of seeing Andrew waiting for her by the ocean…















Our Maui wedding photography is all about capturing the beauty of real moments. And Taryn and Andrew’s celebration at Polo Beach was the perfect example of that elegant balance between effortless and extraordinary. Their day felt like a breath of fresh ocean air: refined, heartfelt, and full of unfiltered joy.
After their dreamy proposal in Maui, it only made sense to return to the island that had witnessed the start of their forever. Their ceremony at Polo Beach was intimate yet graceful, with the soft rhythm of the waves setting the pace. The setting itself did the heavy lifting; no need for lavish details when the ocean, sky, and love between two people say everything.
Taryn looked radiant in her gown, her hair catching the breeze as she walked barefoot across the sand toward Andrew. Every element of their day reflected a quiet sophistication, elegant without trying, deeply emotional without being overdone.
















Our Maui photography style is all about capturing not just how everything looked, but how it felt. Just like this pure moment of celebration with their guests! We focus on the laughter that happens between poses, the glances that say everything, and the way the Maui light wraps around couples in the most romantic way imaginable. Taryn and Andrew’s portraits were just that: timeless, sun-kissed, and brimming with love.
Their wedding at Polo Beach was more than a ceremony; it was a reflection of who they are together: genuine, kind, and beautifully uncomplicated.











As the ceremony came to a close, the sky began to transform. Maui’s signature magic hour had arrived. The sunset painted everything in shades of gold, blush, and violet. Taryn and Andrew’s sunset portraits were nothing short of breathtaking. The way the light wrapped around them, soft and golden, made every frame glow. How beautiful are these portraits? Simply stunning.
Their Maui wedding photography coverage ended exactly as it began: full of laughter, warmth, and the kind of love that will only deepen with time.









Congratulations, Taryn and Andrew! May your days be filled with laughter, adventure, and endless sunsets as radiant as the one that marked the start of your forever. We wish you all the joy in the world as you begin this new chapter together!

Here’s the thing about five-year-olds: they feel everything big. Big joy, big curiosity, big splashes in the ocean, which is exactly why the Ramirex-Laxina’s Kauai family portrait session was such a dream. It wasn’t just a photoshoot; it was a celebration of their daughter Ximena turning five! Of love, of family, of making memories in
