ALOHA

I’m Gaylin

Weddings do not need to be loud to be meaningful. They need space, presence, and someone who knows when to step in - and when to step back.

I photograph destination weddings with a calm, editorial approach, documenting your day as it unfolds with intention and ease. My work blends the softness of film with the reliability of digital, creating images that feel timeless, elevated, and deeply personal.

Based in Maui, Hawai’i and available worldwide.

Where Experience Meets Presence

My approach is simple :

no rushing, no forcing, no chaos — just honest documentation with an editorial eye.
