"I am so beyond happy with our wedding photos & the experience we’ve had with Shelly & Max! We booked them for our destination wedding at Kualoa Ranch in Oahu and they were phenomenal. Even with the overcast weather our pictures turned out so vibrant and beautiful. Shelly was so reassuring & she got all the candid shots I was looking for as well. Cannot recommend them enough!"

Every photo and video that was captured was beautiful. I was worried about trying to plan a wedding from a different state, but Shelly and Max helped make the process easy. I trusted both Shelly and Max from the beginning and I am so glad my husband and I decided to work with them. Both captured GORGEOUS photos and videos of the day of the wedding and the next day during our second location photoshoot. Both Shelly and Max made me feel special and are so creative with what they do. I also really appreciated how dedicated and determined they were. Once we received our photos and videos, it was such a magical moment to relive that moment; I almost wanted to cry because of how beautiful everything turned out. Thank you, Shelly and Max, for capturing my husband's and my special day.

KIND WORDS
Every shot, whether candid or traditional, was breathtaking—the lighting, angles, composition, and emotion in each frame were impeccable. They truly care for their clients, going above and beyond in their communication to ensure we loved every image. You can see the meticulous detail, passion, and love they pour into their work—it shows in every single photograph and video. While we shared just a few general insights about Indian weddings, they instinctively knew how to document every important ritual and moment, and they did it even better than we have ever seen.
"Their presence was so warm and welcoming that it felt like having family members behind the lens, not just photographers"

Shelly and Max are absolutely amazing. My wife and I could not have asked for a better experience or photographer and videographer for our wedding. Shelly and Max were very communicative leading up to the wedding, were completely open to our ideas, and were so attentive and patient with our families on the day of our wedding - practically bringing a slice of calm to the day. They went absolutely above and beyond with everything they had done, and they clearly are an amazing team.
