Top 5 I've been very fortunate to have been a wedding photographer for close to twenty years. I grew up in rural parts of western Canada with an apparently difficult Hawaiian name: (May -LEE-uh), the pronunciation of which I was never bold enough to correct. In keeping with that general awkwardness perhaps, I was a shy kid. Drawing and painting and pouring over art history tomes in my school libraries was how I spent every moment of spare time. Long before art school proper, this is where I fell in love with and absorbed the elements of art. I began photographing weddings on film while completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts between Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver, and St. Martin's College of Art & Design in the UK.

Melia is truly a dream. From the booking process to the wedding day to the editing and delivery day. Every photo was so beautiful and the details were breathtaking. I am so in awe of my gallery because she captured everything with intent and it shows! Her editing is flawless and I can’t think of a single photo and moment she missed! Invest in your photos and photographer! It is well worth it and I say, Melia was worth every penny and honestly if I could go back I would have given her all of it haha!! Thank you, Melia!!! You are a gem on Maui for sure!!!
My husband and I hired Melia for our engagement shoot and wedding shoot and we could not have made a better choice. After hours flipping through cheesy photography sites I was so relieved to find Melia. Her work is unperilled and really captures the emotions as they were at the time.
I hope I can find an excuse to use her again in the near future!
