Maui Wedding Photographer Reviews
Penny and her team of professionals, coupled with Aloha Maui Dream Weddings is a dynamite combination. We all had so much fun not only at the wedding but also at the Trash The Dress photoshoot we did as well. Her pictures are captivating and breathtaking. What she can capture through her lens is truly amazing.
10 stars for Penny! She is simply amazing and so easy and fun to work with. Penny did all of the wedding pictures for our daughter’s wedding last weekend, I have just seen a sample of the pictures and already they are all so beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a kinder, more patient photographer with such attention to detail! Penny knew all the shots and angles and even had some really nice unusual first look photos for our daughter and her fiancé’. Penny is absolutely the best photographer on island! Such a pleasure to work with… despite all the devastation Maui had just incurred. Thank you Penny!! You helped make Lindsey and Bo’s day special ! Big Mahalos !!!
My husband and I got married (just the two of us) in Maui since we didn’t want any of the wedding planning headaches.. but we still wanted it to feel special and have beautiful photos from the day. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Darci and Penny. Darci made the entire process SO easy – she handled all the details so all we had to do was show-up, no stress involved! She was so communicative and went above and beyond to give us a personalized experience and make our day absolutely perfect. Penny made us feel so comfortable and relaxed during the photos and they turned out BEAUTIFULLY! Definitely recommend to anyone looking to get married in Maui!

Amazing Photographer!
Penny was amazing! She was professional, creative & made me feel very comfortable while taking my wedding photos. She made sure we got everything we needed & took some amazing photos! We purchased the whole album from her at a very reasonable rate. Thank you Penny!WeddingWire.com Review
A Stunning Fairytale
With Darci as my wedding planner and Nicole as my photographer, I could not have asked for a better duo! Darci made the months, weeks, days, and even hours before my wedding stress-free and magical. Being a gal who is rarely a fan of being in front of the camera, I was surprised at how well Nicole was able to capture real personality and smiles. I just went through my entire gallery with my husband, and we were smiling from ear to ear reliving the moment. The pictures look like something from a fairytale: beautiful colors, amazing lighting, and genuine love. I could not be happier!WeddingWire.com Review
Darci and Penny were fantastic! They made our wedding experience completely stress free and the ceremony was beautiful. Our families were so impressed with how smoothly everything went, especially since we live far from Hawaii and it was my first time visiting so I didn’t know what to expect.

Penny Palmer Photography and Aloha Maui Dream Weddings were simply amazing! My fiancé and I wanted a stress-free but intimate ceremony – we got exactly that but even better than we expected! I was initially a little worried choosing someone I didn’t know/hadn’t met be a part of our day and hoped it wouldn’t feel “commercialized.” Darci really took the time to get to know us and kept me informed throughout the whole planning process. The great communication and attention to detail made a huge difference. It gave me peace of mind and I didn’t need to worry about anything. I also had some inspiration images for photos, and Penny made sure she incorporated those into her shoot. They turned out beautiful. Everything was a dream. I would 100% recommend.

Penny perfectly captured our intimate wedding ceremony at Makena Cove, Maui. Everything during the ceremony seemed natural – it didn’t seem like Penny was even there but when we got the photos she every moment of the ceremony was there! After the official parted the ceremony was over, she guided us to take some really amazing shots at the beach where the ceremony took place. She was definitely very experienced and knew the right angles but at the same time she made it fun, and it shows on the photos. Penny Palmer Photography was included in our Aloha Maui Dream Weddings package but originally we only selected an option with viewing the full wedding gallery for 14 days and then picking the best 3 photos. We loved Penny’s photos so much that we decided to buy the whole gallery! The price was very reasonable for the the amazing high quality photos that we got. We already shared the photos with our family and friends and everyone loves them! Mahalo for your amazing work!

Darci & Penny made our wedding a blast, my cheeks literally hurt i was laughing and smiling so much! everything was better than I could have dreamed of and the videographer did an amazing job recording our ceremony so we can share it with our friends and family during our reception!!!! thank you both so much for everything!!!!!!!

We had our initial wedding planned by Darci and photographed by Penny and it was an amazing experience! They both were very welcoming and accommodating with every ask. We had such a connection with both Darci and Penny that when our 5 year anniversary rolled around we didn’t think twice to reach out to them to capture the special moment again for us!
They are both the utmost of professionals and we would recommend them to anyone looking to plan a wedding or anniversary on Maui!

Penny did the photography for my recent wedding in Maui, and the photos are beautiful. She did some great candids during the wedding and set us up for some more great shots before and after. I haven’t ordered our prints yet, just got the photo gallery the other day, but I’m excited to order some to frame at home and give to our parents. Thanks Penny!
We used Penny and Darci for our 40th anniversary vow renewal ceremony and family photographs. They took of all of the details for the ceremony. The event and creative photography were perfect.
We used Penny for our 30th anniversary and loved our pictures so much that we came back for more!!! The pictures are hanging in our house so we can cherish the memories of that day. my screensaver on my computer is our family picture.
We did the ceremony and photo session at Napili Bay Beach, with the sunset in the background.
I highly recommend using Penny for any anniversary or special event. She makes every picture special.

STOP RIGHT HERE! Penny Palmer Photography IS it!
Look no further! I promise you it does not get better than Aloha Maui Dream Weddings!! Darci, Penny, and the rest of the wedding team are the definition of a dream team! Our wedding was rescheduled due to the pandemic. We weren’t really sure how if it would work out this year but it did and it the whole experience exceeded our expectations. Darci and Penny kept in contact with us throughout the year checking in and giving updates. It was great using that time to build a foundation of trust. They really care about their clients and it shows! When the date got closer they were so helpful in reminding us about testing, coordinating with the State of Hawaii to get our marriage license, providing any recommendations during our stay in Maui, checking in on me on the morning of our ceremony, and reminded us to not forget the rings and license docs before we headed out the door. They were thoughtful and we really appreciated how communicative they were. Kuya married us and Ian was our photographer and those two were a hit! They worked so beautifully together and the ceremony just flowed and was stress free the entire time. It was absolutely perfect! Right after Kuya left the beach he submitted our license paperwork and we received an email that it was already filed. I figured it would take a day or 2. We were promised our photo packet within 3-4 weeks. NOPE! No waiting there either! We received them 6 days later. Our WHOLE experience through a pandemic and all was top notch and exceeded our expectations. Aloha Maui Dream Weddings really work hard and create relaxing, stress free, and beautiful dream weddings. Ours was nothing less than perfect! I am so grateful we chose them to be part of our big day! Honestly you will not find better service, photography, attention to detail, or care from another business like them. They lead with love and are amazing at what they do. Ohana for life!! ❤❤❤ Thank you Darci, Penny, Kuya, and Ian— we are forever grateful to have had the opportunity to have this amazing experience with you.

The photos spark emotion, whisk us back to the moment and create the beautiful poetic story recreated and captured for a lifetime. Especially for important occasions that can not be duplicated a quality reliable photographer is a must. We highly recommend this team .

Easy, Beautiful, Affordable
Penny was our photographer for our wedding day and was very easy to work with, took amazing photos, and gave us wonderful prices! She was very fast with communication and answered all our questions right away! Would very much recommend Penny Palmer for any event in her area!– TheKnot.com
What we expected to be an amazing day Darci and Penny made INCREDIBLE!!
From the start they set our minds at ease by replying quickly to any emails we sent answering any questions we had, setting our minds at ease that they had everything handled and we didn’t need to worry about anything because they had it all sorted!
Our wedding day was perfect, Our Beach was the perfect location, our own little paradise. We loved how it was focused on our relationship, our trials during our time together. It made the ceremony so personal and knowing it was specific to us was lovely!
We not only had an awesome wedding day we met two people who we were honoured to share our day with.
The photo’s told the story of our wedding so well, we are able to share our day with our family and friends even though they weren’t there.
Thank you so much Darci and Penny, we are so grateful!

My husband and I were amazed at how easy it was to plan our wedding from the states. Darci handled everything and our wedding was so perfect. Our ceremony was so personal and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend Darci and her team to anyone that is planning on getting married in Maui! Penny was wonderful as well and the pictures came out amazingly. Mahalo!

Penny was an absolute joy to work with. Our photos are stunning. She knew just how to make the lighting work with the sunset. I wasn’t sure what to expect from photos on the beach but she blew away any preconceived notions of “elopement beach photos.” My husband and I couldn’t just pick a limited amount of them for our package we selected… we ended up buying them all. They were all just so good!
– TheKnot.com
Amazing artistic eye, especially the location and sunsets!
Thank you for our beautiful wedding photos at Makena.
Love Mike and Adrienne
We had Ian from Penny Palmer Photography for our wedding on Maui. He was wonderful. He captured beautiful and creative pictures while putting us at ease. He also supplied us with some great island info.
- TheKnot.com
Penny and her team did an amazing job photographing our special day. I appreciate that they didn’t pose us or our guests; they simply captured the wedding, portraits and reception as we are. They had a knack for capturing all the special moments (like laughs, expressions, or kisses) too. We loved the portraits so much that we splurged and purchased the entire catalog of wedding photos!
My husband and I got married on May 3rd, 2021 and the day was nothing short of perfect. Darci helped me with every thing along the way no matter how big or small it was! I only wish I could relive this perfect day over and over again. Penny Palmer captured the most amazing photos that we got back SO quickly. I would highly recommend Darci with Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and Penny Palmer photography to anyone!!!

Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and Penny Palmer Photography for the amazing vow renewal they organized, executed and photographed for our little family. They were so incredibly fun to work with and gave us the most meaningful ceremony we could have ever asked for, far exceeding our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for more! If you are planning a wedding, renewal or any type of family or event photography, please contact Darci and Penny.
Absolutely amazing! They were waiting at our site and covered everything, and were so fun and made taking the photos so much fun! I record using penny for all your photo needs!

Stop looking!
THISSSS is what dreams are made of! There are not enough words to express our gratitude to Darci and the entire Aloha Maui Dream Weddings team! From painless planning, to flawless execution- the proof is in the details! From a distance, we felt a connection & knew we were in great hands! Having traveled from Florida, we had to blindly trust and put our Faith in their expertise and knowledge of the island! Thank God we did! From keeping a nervous groom calm during a freak storm and being flexible with locations to accommodate nature, Darci and Penny’s confidence and professionalism reassured this bride that my dream wedding would be absolutely perfect! AND THEY DELIVERED! We were blessed with the Hawaiian Wedding Trifecta- ⛈ 🐳 🌈- and they captured it all! A million MAHALO’s DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! You’ve stumbled on THE best of the best!– The Knot Review

We Had an incredible photographer (Penny Palmer) who took breathtaking photos. She was so easy to work with and answer every question we had. Super fast response time on any questions and very willing to edit photos for you. We now have the most beautiful photos and memories to share for a lifetime.Yelp Review
All I have to say is, WOW… When we first decided on a beach wedding in Maui, I Google searched wedding pictures and only hoped we could have pictures a fraction as spectacular as the ones online…Not only did Ian from Penny Palmer Photography meet the challenge, he surpassed anything and everything I imagined…His level of talent, skill, and passion for his work is second to none…We never felt rushed or limited in what we could do…We trusted him 100% and his experience and love of his job created some of the most incredibly stunning shots I have ever seen…He would let us look at some of the pictures on his camera as he was taking them and we couldn’t believe it was us, they were so phenomenal…He was able to capture our love for each other and the beauty of Maui all in one…He impressed us beyond words and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome…That being said, they were able to make our day into a dream come true…We can’t thank them enough…And we will never forget them or what they did to make our forever perfection…And I will never stop recommending them or singing their praises…Thank you Ian and Penny Palmer Photography…We love you!
Penny helped make our day amazing. The preview photographs she showed us and that were posted are to die for, and we cannot wait to get the full gallery! She took amazing photos and knew exactly how to get just the perfect shot of the entire occasion. Would recommend her a million times over.
Amazing photos! I especially love that we had so many shots to choose from and we weren’t even aware of some of the ones she took. Very professional, but also personal. We are just so happy with it all. THANK YOU, PENNY!
Darci and Penny, Where do I start?!I was never the girl that dreamed about their fairytale wedding growing up. I never imagined my perfect wedding dress, hair style or decor. Not to Imply that I never thought it would happen one day, it was just not something I pictured as a little girl.
When Rob and I got engaged, I had NO IDEA where to even start! I joined all of the bridal email list to hopefully gain some clarity. It didn’t work, lol. Overwhelmed doesn’t even begin to to much on how I was feeling.
After Rob and I decided that we would “elope” in Maui, it got even more overwhelming. How was I supposed to plan our wedding 4,605 miles away. I googled so many companies. I almost chose a different company until they sent me a sample wedding video. It made me cringe.
I started focusing more on the reviews of these companies. I came across Aloha Maui Dream Weddings and loved the reviews I was reading. I reached out one night and the planning began.
We put 100% blind trust in these women solely based on social proof and that is why I hope anyone reading this, that might be on the fence, chooses AMDW!
From the start, Darci put my mind at ease. She was readily available for me whenever I wanted to talk, even with a 6 hour time difference and anytime I started to panic, she would bring me back to normal and reassure that everything would be great! She scheduled our marriage license appt, she linked me up with Bea from Classic Elegance Artistry who made me feel like a princess and she made sure every single detail was perfect! We had an awesome unity sand ceremony that included my son, who also got a Lei during the Lei exchange.
These 2 ladies then hiked almost a MILE down a cliff to accommodate a photo shoot that we really, really wanted. It was hot and uncomfortable but once we were down there, Penny was in her zone. She is so professional and so good at what she does. I could not have asked for more from these two!
For the little girl who never dreamed about her wedding day, If I had, I am POSITIVE it was exactly how June 29th 2018 went.
We are glad to have you both as our Ohana now!
We love you! Mahalo!P.S. Small or large weddings!
They will get it done for you!
Penny captured every breath taking moment of our wedding. From the stunning ocean background to the silly laughs and happy tears. She was friendly, fun, helpful, and felt like she had been our friend for years. We loved every moment of our time with her. Our pictures are beautiful and we are extremely happy we chose Penny as our photographer!
Amazing photos! I especially love that we had so many shots to choose from and we weren’t even aware of some of the ones she took. Very professional, but also personal. We are just so happy with it all. THANK YOU, PENNY!
I cannot thank Penny enough for the wonderful work she did for our wedding day!! I’m not going to lie, I really don’t like my picture being taken and I get pretty awkward in front of the camera. Let alone the fact that I was already pretty anxious about what that day had in store. But, thanks to Penny Palmer Photography and Aloha Maui Dream Weddings, my mind was quickly put to ease. I was in tears when I saw the photos and still get choked up when I look at them. The prices are amazing and she couldn’t be easier to work with. She made us and our wedding party/guests feel so comfortable in front of the camera and the prices are amazing! I wanted to keep all 300 photos! And guess what?! You totally can purchase every single shot taken for a great price! Thanks to Penny and Darci with AMDW, we will forever be able to cherish our special day. Penny has a way of capturing the sweetest moments and a true talent for creativity in photography. I would 100% do it again.
We booked Penny Palmer Photography for my daughters wedding on Maui. Penny went out of her way to provide the perfect settings for photos that will be memories that will last a lifetime. I would recommend her to my family and friends. Her photos brought out the WOW factor in all of us…
Mahalo!!
Penny did exceptional work on our wedding photography, not only did she deliver beautiful photos, but she went above and beyond on assisting us with our requests and providing memorable photos we can enjoy for a lifetime! I would recommend her to any friend or family in a heartbeat!
Don’t hesitate – choose Penny as your photographer! We had the pleasure of Penny photographing our wedding and she was incredible. From the beautiful photos of the ceremony to the sunset beach photos. Penny really did capture our day. The photos tell the story and bring back every feeling from our day and we look at them feeling laughter and happiness. Penny is truly talented and captured everything and we will treasure these forever. Thank you so much!
Penny photographed our Maui beach wedding and did an absolute amazing job! Our pictures are stunning! Penny was so personable and easy going. She made us all feel at ease and got so many great shots. She also got our pictures to us within days! Which made this eager bride very happy. I would highly recommend her to capture your beautiful moments!
Darci and Penny were incredible!! My husband did all the planning so I knew very little until we showed up that day. This was a vow renewal and we had family and friends joining us from a few states. Darci immediately made me feel so comfortable and the beach location was simply beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a more fun, touching and intimate ceremony. I highly recommend these ladies and the small touches were just the icing on the cake. From an extra lei they brought (and we actually needed it), to a goody gift bag and a handwritten thank you once back home. Wish I could relive that whole evening again!!!
Photos were amazing! Easy to work with. Definitely recommend!
From the beginning, Penny was absolutely wonderful. We had specific pictures that we wanted and she did even better than we had hoped for. She made everything so easy and fun. We recommend Penny to anyone looking for great wedding pictures.
Penny and Darci were absolutely amazing! They really made us feel comfortable and have fun while taking our engagement photos. They were really nice, funny, professional and really took their time to make sure they got the right shots with the right lighting, background, etc to ensure our photos would look phenomenal. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for great photos!!
Penny did a wonderful job photographing our wedding in December! We planned to only buy the lowest package available and all the pictures were so great that we couldn’t decide between them and ended up purchasing all of them. I would recommend her services to everyone! Not only did she do a good job of capturing us as a couple, she also did a wonderful job of capturing the beautiful scenery behind us!
Penny was a wonderful photographer. We were suppose to have a dear friend of ours fly out to Hawaii to take our wedding photos and last minute we found out she wasn’t able to go, Darci (Aloha Maui Dream Weddings) said she had us covered and she most definitely did! She told us exactly what to do and made the picture taking so easy. My husband and I are not much into pictures but we felt very comfortable and she definitely made us laugh along the way. Everything was perfect and these lovely women made it our dream wedding and we will forever be thankful! I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos!! We love you! Mahalo.
We could not have asked for a better experience than the one we had with Penny as our wedding photographer. We were married on the beach and it was just the two of us. Penny (and Darci) made our wedding so much fun. They were not only our coordinators and photographer, but we felt like they were our friends there helping us celebrate such a wonderful day. Penny knew exactly when to take the shot and used different filters to make the shots perfect. She was so professional and we couldn’t be happier with both the experience and the photos. She is amazing!! Thanks again Penny!!!
“Penny was simply awesome! She made our special day, even more perfect with her professionalism and wedding photo perfection! We highly recommend her. ”
