Aloha, I'm Jay Soriano, Portrait & Destination Elopement Photographer.
If you’re reading this chances are you’ve scrolled endlessly on IG or Google’d at least 15 different photographers. You’ve probably learned that:
- It’s quite expensive (but it doesn’t have to be)
- It’s quite the process to get married in Hawaii (and we can help with that)
I offer some of the best rates on Maui, I am a registered officiant… so you can save some time and money hiring a separate officiant!

All Inclusive Packages & No Hidden Fees
I like to think of myself as the anti-salesy photographer.
A lot of resorts or photographers have a strategy where they’ll lure you in with a cheap or free session – and then you get sold on the photos. Oh you want the high res photos? That’ll cost ya. You want no watermarks? That’ll be extra. You want prints? You’ll have to do it through them (and pay 10x more)… and the list goes on!
It’s 2024 for cryin’ out loud… isn’t it time for a change?
We’re photographers, not a car dealership.
With me, the price you see, is the price you pay. No hidden fees.
Other photographers might upsell you, or tack on GET (Hawaii Service Tax), credit card processing and various other fees. Not me.
I do provide some extras (listed below), but my packages are designed to cover 99% of my clients.
Isn’t it time you started lovin’ yourself in photos? Let’s chat!
Rated 5-Stars on Google, Facebook and Thumbtack!
