Hello! Aloha and Welcome!


My name is Mai. A 35 years old, avid hiker, and adventurer, with a soul forever curious and in love with capturing the beauty of the world around me.

Since I was little, I was always that girl with a camera in my hands, documenting everything I could. As I grew older, that passion to create and capture beautiful moments never left. Through story-telling, and to capturing those small glances, let me share your story through my lens.

I’m pretty laid-back, love an adventure, and will be your biggest hype-person. A session with me will have you laughing and smiling, not only because I can be pretty loud with my "oohs and I love its!!" but because I love making people feel at ease in front of my camera. I love chats about life, traveling, food, and creating art. When we meet I can promise you 2 things - to bring out your best self through my lens, and creating beautiful photo memories together.

Born and raised on the island of Oahu, I grew up in Honolulu, Hawai'i. Being of Filipino decent I love all things food. Heck, if there's a food festival somewhere near me, you can bet I'll be there. While going to school and working full-time, I met my husband, Fabian. With him being Swiss-German, I also learned to speak German and can understand a bit of Swiss-German. I was always into photography as a child, but it wasn't until I met him that I realized just how much I loved photography; and that's when I found my love for wedding photography. There's something so wonderful about being able to capture those special moments for others that brings me so much joy. The love, the tears, the laughter, the party, the food, every single moment is just so much fun and it's something I could do every single day of my life.

I love a good laugh, good food, especially desserts (like chocolate, brownies, cookies...) and good times with friends and family. I especially love traveling with my husband and experiencing new places, and making new friends. Something which makes being a photographer all the more special to me as my clients become like my family and friends. I am obsessed with Korean Dramas, love watching baking and cooking clips on TikTok, and I love to send funny memes about couples to my husband on a daily. I have a huge bucket list of places I have yet to travel to, and am huge on exploring the world, so any chance I get to travel, I'm all for it. I don't want to end up writing a book so I'll stop here. Thank you for reading and can't wait to meet you!
