Features & Press
“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. It’s 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!”

“Working with Dmitri and Sandra was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding experience! From the very first conversation, they made us feel so comfortable and taken care of which meant so much to us. Neither of us are big “pose for the camera” people, but with them it never once felt forced or awkward. They have such a calm, warm energy that instantly puts you at ease, and we truly loved every second of working with them.
The photos are beyond anything we could have imagined. They’re stunning and timeless…everyone keeps telling us these are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen, and we completely agree!! The turnaround time was unbelievably fast too—we got to relive our wedding within about a month. If you’re lucky enough to work with them, know that you’re in the best hands. They’re truly the best of the best!!!”
