Top Maui Wedding Photographers
Natalie Brown Photography
I like to take in the whole scene when I capture an event. The details, the grand landscape, the candid, and the naturally posed are all important to me. One of the most important things I pay attention to is the light. Maui has gorgeous light. I shoot with off and on-camera flash, and I like to switch to natural light too. I shoot with the best Canon equipment, and I know Photoshop and Lightroom very well, so anything is possible. Ultimately, the images are about you and the good times you want to remember. I can’t wait to learn more about you!

With over 20 years of professional photography experience, I love capturing a couple’s most important day of their lives. When needed, I can be a fly on the wall to capture those incredibly intimate, perfectly timed moments like a father seeing his daughter in her wedding dress for the 1st time, or I can be as assertive as is needed to corral and position 30+ guests ranging from hyperactive 3-year-olds to tipsy groomsmen to ensure a group photo to last the ages all while making everyone smile/laugh when needed. Combining those skills with 20+ years of photo experience, I use every technique from natural light to flash/strobe to ensure every moment is perfect. My customers say I’m a delight, and I would love the chance to chat with you about your upcoming Maui wedding- Aloha!

Our goal in business was always to one day work together so we could spend as much time as possible in the company of one another and have the freedom to explore when we weren’t pursuing photography. Adam began photographing empty waves and surfers years ago and has been drawn to the ocean his entire life. I started photographing weddings in 2011 and found joy in documenting the interaction between family and couples. In Australia, we operated two separate businesses, Sunshine SurfSafari and Sabra Creative. Adam had already been helping me shoot weddings for quite a while, so just before moving to Maui, we decided to further simplify our lives by combining our businesses and forming Love and Water Photography.
