“Located out of Maui, Hawaii, Gaylin has been capturing love stories for over 10 years photographing with a relaxed approach that captures the beauty of connection clearly ”
Preserving your story through digital, 35mm, medium format, and instant film, her work is rooted in emotion, light, and the way a moment truly feels — not just how it looks.I’m Gaylin, a destination wedding photographer drawn to places with soul — where culture, landscape, and light come together naturally. From the colorful coastlines of Hawaii to the sun-soaked scenery of California and destinations beyond, my work is shaped by environments that feel alive, honest, and deeply connected to the people in them.
My style is calm and unobtrusive. I photograph with intention, allowing space for real moments to unfold without interruption. You won’t find me directing every second or filling your day with equipment and noise. Instead, I blend in — documenting your wedding as it happens, so you can stay present with the people you love most.
Your images will feel warm, timeless, and true — filled with natural light, quiet joy, and the kind of moments you don’t realize are happening until you look back and feel everything all over again.
Let’s capture your day with ease, intention, and a whole lot of heart.
Let’s talk film
Film is at the heart of my work and always has been.
I grew up watching my dad photograph on film, learning early that some moments are meant to be preserved slowly and with intention. That foundation still shapes how I photograph weddings today. While trends come and go, I’ve chosen a hybrid approach that blends the ease of digital with the depth, texture, and honesty of film.
On a wedding day, each camera I bring has a purpose. Not to overwhelm the space, but to quietly document it from multiple perspectives. Film allows me to slow down, anticipate moments, and capture the feeling of being there in a way nothing else can replicate.
Your final gallery is thoughtfully edited so digital and film images flow seamlessly together, creating a cohesive story from start to finish. Every collection includes a curated mix of digital images, 35mm film, medium format film, and instant photographs. The result is a body of work that feels timeless, tactile, and deeply personal.

“Gaylin was an excellent photographer. We had an engagement shoot and did not know what exactly to expect. She navigated the tropical weather and our lack of awareness on how to pose PERFECTLY ! We had a great time throughout the shoot and couldn’t have been happier with the results. 10/10 recommend.”

Engagements
Gaylin is the absolute best in the business. I worked with Gaylin in March 2022 for a surprise proposal in Maui. From the planning stages through receiving our final products (and everything in between), the entire experience was first class and exceeded all expectations. It is extremely clear that Gaylin cares deeply about delivering a very high quality service to her clients. It has been a few weeks since we received our pictures and my fiancé and I still can't stop looking at them. Highly recommend using Gaylin for any photography needs in Maui - you will not be disappointed.
Some Client Love
Gaylin was the absolute best for our marriage proposal photo shoot! She made everything so seamless from start to end. She provided excellent spots for the best photo opportunities and even provided easy-to-follow videos on how to access these locations, which was helpful for a non-local! Gaylin had multiple ideas for photos after the fact and the pictures turned out fantastic. 100% would recommend for anyone!
