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
With over a decade of experience photographing weddings and families, I bring a grounded, steady presence to every celebration. I work seamlessly alongside planners and fellow vendors keeping the day moving smoothly while creating space for the real moments to unfold.
My approach is simple :
no rushing, no forcing, no chaos — just honest documentation with an editorial eye.
