I recently traveled to Maui with my husband, and we wanted to take some casual beach photos to remember our trip. I researched several photographers' websites, but many of their family photos seemed a little tacky. When I came across Wendy's portfolio, I was impressed by her more artistic and candid style. She uses film, which is extremely rare these days! She agreed to meet us early in the morning, and she suggested a beautiful, secluded beach nearby. It turned out to be the perfect location because we had the entire beach to ourselves. She brought a couple props for the shoot and gave us just

If I could give Wendy 1000 high fives I would! She is a true artist and a gem. Easy and quick communication. Lovely in person and the pictures were delivered before promised. Our elopement images are so beautiful... Don't hesitate to book her for incredible images. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Wendy!

My husband & I booked an hour session with Wendy during our last trip to Maui, and we are SO glad that we did!! I have been a long time fan of Wendy's gorgeous work and distinctive style, and couldn't wait to spend some time with her. She is as lovely in person as her photos are beautiful, and she made the session so fun and comfortable. Her use of light and her love of colour is so fresh, and she is one talented lady! Her creativity blew me away, and the way that she approaches photography is so unique in this industry. The images absolutely blew us away, and we are in love with every. single

Wendy is AMAZING. She captured such a special day for my husband and I in a way I don't think any other photographer could do justice for our wedding this spring. I would recommend her hands down with no hesitation. She is so easy to work with and her photos are jaw dropping. I love that she shot the photos on film and that she used her artistry and the natural light at the estate we were married at to capture the essence of our day: laughs, love, and family. Mahalo Wendy. I can't thank you enough.
