Amy Jayne was a pleasure to work with! We did an amazing jungle and beach 2 hour photo session with her and she instantly made us feel comfortable. Amy was professional but warm. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. She clearly takes pride in her work and all photos were edited beautifully. I would definitely recommend Amy to anyone!

We decided to elope in Maui on short notice after postponing our big wedding twice. Amy was so helpful in accommodating all of our needs and helping us seek other vendors. We are in LOVE with our pictures. We have received so many compliments on them. She truly works magic. Amy was overall wonderful to work with, timely, and responsive. We couldn't recommend her services enough!

The best wedding decision my husband and I made was deciding to elope on Maui. The second best decision we made was hiring Amy as our wedding/elopement photographer. Planning a Maui elopement from MN could have been challenging but Amy helped make it a breeze. She helped us pick a location, time of day, and Officiant. She was quick to answer any questions through email or text. The day of our wedding she was so great about directing us how to stand or pose. The photos look unreal, like something something out of a magazine. She is truly talented and I am so happy she was there to capture such special moments.

Wow! What else can I say? Not only are my photos AMAZINGLY gorgeous, but Amy made me and my group feel so comfortable! She kept us smiling the whole time with her charm and good sense of humor. You can tell she genuinely loves her work. She did a mixed shoot for us (part group business photos, part individual portraits, part couples photos, and part lifestyle photos) and literally captured everything I could have wanted (plus more!). The image quality is amazing and the experience was one to remember. Thanks for making our time on Maui SO special Amy Jayne!

My fiance and I decided to take our engagements photos in Maui and quickly fell in love with Amy's portfolio and booked her right away. Amy was amazing from start to finish. She made us feel comfortable right away, almost as if she wasn't even there, capturing the raw emotion that we feel for each other as a couple. She took the time to ask us what was most important to us and stuck to that the entire time.
She even made sure to take us to several different spots so that we could have a variety of backgrounds, from our pictures you wouldn't believe that we were actually in the same general location the entire time. You can tell that this is her passion and she is amazing at what she does. We highly recommend her for any professional photos that you need on the island!

My husband, 5 year old daughter, and I vacationed in Maui recently and had family pictures done by Amy. The pictures turned our beautifully and we had a great time! No easy feat considering I was also 7 months pregnant at the time! She was extremely patient with my 5 year old, capturing her personality and craziness at this age. She also took pictures with different scenery options, so our pictures offered a variety of backgrounds and lighting. Our session was 30 minutes, which was perfect for us and we received a disc full of amazing pictures. Thank you Amy!

My wife and I were married on Kapalua Beach in October. Having never been to Hawaii, I was a bit nervous about how to plan the perfect wedding. And while the location and coordinator and other things were important, to me the most important item was the photography, because the photos are what we will have forever. When looking for a photographer, I wanted someone with imagination, not just technical skill.
I chose Amy after viewing some of her wedding photos online. Not only was it a pleasure working with her, the photos she provided were wonderful, and we couldn't be happier. Very creative, never felt rushed. Highly recommended. By the way, shortly before our trip, my wife decided she'd like a short video of the ceremony. As it turns out, Amy's husband, Sean, is a videographer, and he did our video. Talent runs in the family, because it also was superb. I made sure to get a photo of Amy and Sean for our wedding album. Thanks guys!
