About Dmitri
I, grew up on the Big Island and spent most of my days playing barefoot in the wild or near the surf on the lava lined Kona coast. I've had a lifelong love affair with Hawaii since before I can remember.
Growing up off the grid with no TV, the stories the uncles and aunties in our community told became my entertainment. I became captivated with stories and great storytellers and Hawaii has some of the best. Photography has allowed me to tell stories and I enjoy the fulfillment of capturing a life-long story within one day.
When Im not behind the camera, Im an avid surfer, brazilian jiu jitsu black belt & competitor, full time dad & husband.
About Sandra
I, grew up in Peru, moving around from the highlands to the jungle, to stark contrast of metropolitan city of Lima. While moving around was challenging, it forced my family to create a strong family culture and traditions that live on today. My childhood memories are filled with frequent family gatherings at my grandmother's house, with her delicious home cooking served on her special china at her x-large dining table. I loved hearing the adults sharing their childhood stories, I think this is where my appreciation for family history started and also my love for dancing, everyone danced the night away at our family gatherings.
Being surrounded by black and white photographs of my family members in suits and dresses, along with my mom's timeless style has made me a lover of all things classic.
My appreciation for family gatherings, traditions and the classic aesthetic has a big influence on my photography and what I work to capture. I feel incredibly privileged to be able to make family history for our clients thru our photography.
Accolades
“We were lucky enough to work with Dmitri and Sandra for both our engagement photos and wedding last year. They are both beyond amazing to work with and we couldn’t be happier with our photos. They instantly made us feel comfortable and natural, as if we had been great friends. They perfectly captured the beautiful candid moments at our wedding with the people we love the most. Beyond their talented work, they are also very professional and always responded quickly to any emails or calls. Its been 3 months since our wedding and I still catch myself smiling when looking at our photos! No doubt, they are one of the best on Maui!”

“What can I say other than AMAZING?! Seriously. Dmitri & Sandra are so freaking fantastic, professional, funny, easy going, and an absolute pleasure to work with – I wouldn’t have changed a single thing about our time with them on our wedding day other than wishing we’d booked more time! My (now) husband and I booked Dmitri & Sandra for four hours on our wedding day, and the two of them caught such amazing moments, even our guests couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful photos that were produced. We’ve had several people now tell us that they are by far the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen. And I have to agree with them! They’re the kind of photos you typically see in magazines but know you’ll never have anything that amazing. Well, think again my friends. We will treasure our photographs for years to come and have these two to thank for it. They are a perfect duo that work like a well-oiled machine…that occasionally has its glitches when one of them wants to try something and the other gets in the way (it’s hilarious to see them bicker), but makes the whole experience so enjoyable and FUN! I cannot recommend them enough, and if you’re still looking for a wedding photographer in Maui, you can stop looking! Yay!!”
