Melia is an incredibly talented photographer who gave us the gift of beautiful, timeless memories that we will cherish forever. She made us feel comfortable and seamlessly navigated the day and evening, capturing so many candid and well directed moments with an incredible eye. The way she photographed our friends and family, the incredible space, special moments, and beautiful details was truly magical. We are so grateful for her direction, vision, and hard work.

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!
Thank you Melia!

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!!!

About

Melia Lucida
Photographer Melia Lucida About me

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.
