Maui Photographers

Megan Catugal Photography


Hi, I'm the one behind the camera. I grew up in Maui, Hawai'i, and every day I’m still in awe of the beauty that surrounds me. As both a mother and a photographer, I deeply understand how quickly life's precious moments can slip away. My passion for photography comes from a heartfelt desire to preserve these fleeting memories. Whether it's a joyful family gathering, the wonder of pregnancy, the adventure of a once-in-a-lifetime vacation, a heartfelt engagement, or the quiet, tender moments of everyday life. Through my lens, I capture these moments so you can treasure them forever. I truly believe every moment is worth preserving because time moves faster than we realize and I would be honored to help you hold on to them.

Aloha and Hello! I'm Nitasha. I offer beautiful island photography at down to earth prices. Your moments are important, so let's capture them in a timeless way.

My style is neutral, clean and crisp. I want your images to last you a lifetime. I don't follow crazy trends, but know how to make them happen if you want.

I know how precious time is with our little ones (no matter how old they are!), and while we can all take photos with our phones, we can't be in all of them. Let me capture your sweet moments with your lover, kids or just you! Tiny newborn feet, wisps of hair, stained clothes, muddy knees, soaked clothes, sandy toes.... I make it all worthwhile!

Mark Tablang Imagery


Aloha! I’m Mark Tablang—a Maui wedding, elopement, couples, and family photographer known for capturing real, candid moments in Hawaii’s most breathtaking locations.


Raised on the island of Maui since I was 7 years old, I combine local insight with an eye for storytelling to create photos that are natural, emotional, and timeless. Through my business, Mark Tablang Imagery, I help couples and families turn their Maui experience into lasting memories with authentic photo and video coverage.


My journey into photography started unexpectedly—inside the gym my wife and I still run here on the island. I began taking photos for our clients, capturing their grit and passion in action. That led to friends asking for family sessions, engagement shoots, and wedding coverage. But they didn’t want anything traditional—they wanted someone to document their day honestly and unscripted.

That’s my specialty: candid Maui photography that feels like you—not a pose.


Photography Types: Family, Engagement, Wedding

Ian Shepherd Photography


I'm a photographer on Maui, but I'm originally from California.Relocated here in 2001, and started shooting seriously in 2005. After being the top booked shooter for the largest studio in the state of Hawai'i for several years, I broke away and opened my own business, the one you're perusing at this very moment.


The real aspects of photography which initially piqued my interests were rooted in thumbing through a College Zoology book when I was about four years old. Becoming exposed to nature and aspects of the world around us in a different frame of mind and view. Parts of the world, animals, all sorts of details that I'd never imagined or heard of in the pages of a National Geographic.

Oahu Photographers

Cody Ketchum Photography


I am a professional freelance photographer & videographer based on Oahu Hawaii. My passion for content creation stemmed from my love for the ocean and nature. I spend most of my free time either underneath the ocean freediving, on top of the ocean surfing, at great heights hiking, or jamming out on the drums with other musicians. With 7 years of experience in visual storytelling, I can guarantee you an end product that will have you reliving moments we create together for years to come. My ability to make people feel comfortable during a photography session derives from my laid back playful style of directing throughout photoshoots. Whether you're looking for a quick portrait session, an all day event photographer, some aerial views, or just have questions about things to do on Oahu, I am always more than willing to help!

Kaua'i Photographers

Sandy Swift Photography


But I’d sooooo much rather be real and you deserve to actually get to know me for real! When I trained horses for a living I named all my wheelbarrows


20 years ago my best friend and I backpacked the Inca Trail to Machu Pichu and paddled a dugout canoe up a tributary of the Amazon and flew a 4 seater Cessna over the Nazca Lines and the memories of that month are among my most prized possessions


I once purchased an absolutely enormous and ridiculously bright colored ballgown for the sole purpose of jumping on a trampoline in it. TOTALLY worth it!! I later ran a 5k giant inflatable obstacle course in it
