Maiwahine Creations
2025 – 2026
Based in Hawaii & Switzerland
You’re ELOPING in Hawai’i! I love that for you! Aloha and let’s get started.
Aloha I’m Mai,
SO GLAD THAT YOU’RE INTERESTED IN KNOWING MY PRICING.
I’m not just your ordinary elopement photographer—I’m here to capture your love story in the most authentic, heartfelt way. As a Hawaii elopement photographer and avid adventurer, I thrive on documenting both the big moments and the little details that make your day uniquely yours. From hyping you up to helping with the little things (yes, even your train as we walk!), I’ll go wherever it takes to get the perfect shot—wading into the ocean, climbing for a bird’s-eye view, or catching those candid smiles when you’re not looking. Your wedding day is all about YOU, and my goal is to make it as memorable and effortless as possible. Let’s bring your vision to life—if one of my packages feels right, let’s start planning!
Working with me
What it’s like…
TELLING YOUR LOVE STORY, ONE PHOTO AT A TIME
Your elopement day is all about you—your love, your joy, and the moments that matter most. My goal is to capture every laugh, glance, and spontaneous moment exactly as it happens, so your story is told authentically and beautifully. Together, we’ll create images that reflect your vision, your personalities, and the unique magic of your day—without limits on photos, because every memory matters.

Love notes
GIA & SAM
“Thank you, Mai! There are SO many we love in these albums! We really appreciate that you gave us so many to choose from. You captured moments that we didn’t even remember because the day was such a whirlwind.”
KEIRSIN & BRANDON
“I came across Mai’s profile and after reviewing her website I reached out with many questions. She was very responsive and after a brief call, I loved her energy and decided to go with her. On the wedding day, we worked with Mai and her second shooter Amy. They were lovely to work with and felt more like ohana than just our photographers. They captured our entire day and were so accommodating. While we anticipated our wedding photos to take some time, Mai shared a few sneak peaks and were blown away. After a few weeks only, we received our entire album and are so grateful and happy with the images. We can’t thank Mai and Amy enough and definitely recommend them to anyone.”
DAPHNE & TIM
“Oh my goodness – thank you so so so much Mai for your amazing talent. I’m extremely thankful that my friend referred you and grateful to have worked with you. My girls couldn’t stop raving about how great you were! Your energy is just the sweetest. You are very great at your craft and it was truly so fun working with you. <3”
A WHOLE DAY OF PHOTOS? DO I REALLY NEED IT?
HONESTLY? I THINK YOU’LL LOVE IT!
I know—12, 10, or even 8 hours of photography might sound like a lot. But your wedding day truly flies by, and the couples I’ve worked with have never regretted having every moment captured. The memories you’ll cherish—the laughter, the tears, the quiet glances—are priceless, and I’m there to preserve them all. The best part? I blend in seamlessly, capturing each moment naturally so you can stay fully present.
From the excitement of getting ready separately or together, to the butterflies before saying “I do!”, to every hug, laugh, and tear throughout the day, I’ll be your personal storyteller. Think of me as your shadow, documenting your love story authentically from beginning to end. Years from now, you’ll be so grateful to relive every single memory—and that’s exactly what I’m here to give you.
