Angela Nelson Photography

ered our many questions easily. But she is also so kind, friendly, and FUN. It was like we immediately became friends. We booked her right away to fit in an engagement shoot with her on our trip. This reinforced that we made the right decision. We had so much fun on this photoshoot - it was filled with genuine smiles and laughter - and when we saw the photos, we were in awe. They were stunning! Our wedding was postponed twice due to COVID-19 and Angie held our hand and supported us through the two postponements. When it finally came time for our wedding in Oct 2022, we met with Angie a few days before on Maui to talk about the day's itinerary, the special guests we wanted photos with, etc. She completely understood what we were hoping for and made some great suggestions. By the time the wedding came around, we had known Angie for 4.5 years of wedding planning! She was incredibly supportive on the day of the wedding. She checked in on my husband and I while we were getting ready, helped us stay on track with the flow of the day/evening, and even stepped in to help with the zipper on a bridesmaid's dress. My husband and I felt so comfortable with her which meant she was able to capture the true essence of "us" - exactly what we were hoping for on this special day. Our bridal party and guests also commented on how awesome she is! We loved getting to see a couple of sneak peek photos a couple of days after the wedding. Again - our jaws dropped!! During our reception, Angie stole us away from the dance floor for just a couple of minutes to get a photo of us with the starry night sky. The photo is absolutely incredible - it looks like a piece of art. She turned our photos around so quickly, and she made our "date night" experience really fun. We met on Zoom to look through all the photos, and then make decisions on our album (which was included in our package) and wall art. It was tough decisions, but she was so patient and understanding and showed us multiple options. Angie is truly a gem in every sense of the word - solid (she is so reliable, we knew we could always count on her), unique (the way she captures emotions, colours, different perspectives is out of this world), and genuine (she is so authentic and personable). If you are considering booking Angie for your wedding - do it!! She is worth every penny!! We consider her a lifetime friend, and are so grateful to have had the opportunity to have her capture our special day.

s in harmony with the majestic landscape. She gets to know her clients, instills complete confidence, assists with any wedding planning needs, and has the gift of being unobtrusive (everywhere but nowhere) with an eye for intimate, romantic moments evoking emotions that leave you laughing, crying, and being in awe of the beauty surrounding you. She choreographs the entire script across time amidst the magnificent terrain resulting in forever priceless photographs reading like a fairy tale. She is a natural born leader in photographing the beauty and wonder of Haleakala. We cannot thank her enough and have a forever friend in Maui now -- built throughout our wedding planning, vendor recommendations, texts, calls, confidence in her knowledge and talent, together with her pristine follow up to our questions and plans for a magnificent Haelakala Elopement.

apher referrals, I stopped the second I saw her portfolio and knew we had to have her. Her artistic talent and ability to evoke emotion was unlike anything I have ever seen in an image. The moments she captures and the boldness of colours, angles and perspective far supersedes anything we could have possible dreamt of. And then we met her...Angie is the epitome of kindness, fun-loving, approachable and professional. She is genuinely one of the most incredible and talented people I have ever met! I knew from the moment we met her, she would be a pivotal part of our day and continues to remain a great friend. She has an innate ability to make you feel completely comfortable and really enjoy the wedding planning process! Her constant communication, tips and tricks and suggestions really make it a seamless experience. She thinks of everything for you and goes greatly above and beyond her call of duty! She gave us great recommendations for our rehearsal dinner, one of which we booked (Trilogy Sailing Sunset Cruise!) which really captures who we are and what we love, being on the water! Angie is also exceptionally organized. She pre-plans the key family and friend portraits ahead of time with you so no one gets missed and you don't need to think of anything on the day of except being in the moment. On the day of, she was an absolute rock. We had such a blast with her and she truly captured every moment. Our guests also expressed just how incredible she was on the day to ensure everything went smoothly ( we had three venues)! Our guests also continue to sing her praises as we do, long after the wedding is over. Now comes our trash the dress shoot the next day.... I actually don't think I have ever had this much fun or laughed this hard. She spent so much time over the course of the year planning these locations out for us as we had specific landscapes we were looking for as we really wanted to go all out with this shoot and trash the dress in the ocean against a breathtaking backdrop and boy was this a success! Our photos were unlike anything I've seen, we had to buy as many as possible! They are sheer works of art and they still leave me speechless to this day. I was also very appreciative of the teaser photos she continued to send us as she prepared our slideshow and album, it really kept the memories alive! I was also hugely impressed with the date night she planned for us to design our wedding album( that was included in the cost!). We had such a blast and she has continued to connect with us as we try and narrow down our wall art decisions (a difficult feat when we love them all)! No joke she would text me back immediately with new mock ups of different wall art layouts! If you are looking for a photographer, you can stop looking. She is simply the best there is and you will also develop a great friend along the way. The care she shows her customers exceeds expectations but it is just who she is at her core, caring, compassionate, empathetic, inspiring, absolutely hilarious, and talented beyond words. I could go on forever here but there is a max word count LOL! Angie we are so grateful each and every day for you and your willingness to share in our special day!

don't even remember feeling nervous or even noticing the camera really. She always had us laughing and feeling amazing! Angie came to our venue and scoped out all of the best places, I told her wrong information about where our first look was going to be. She went and found all the best spots in the wrong place because of me and when I explained the mistake she was so cool and flexible! She is adventurous and willing to do what it takes to get the best shot! Angie went above and beyond for us and we could not have had a better photographer for our wedding! She is an artist with nature and a camera! Highly recommend!

knew we wanted her to capture our day. Angie took our sweetheart photos and knocked them out of the park with how she captures emotion as well as stunning colors and landscapes. Even more, Angie is so damn fun to be around and she put us both at ease and made the experience so fun. She feels like an old friend within just a few minutes of being together. Fast forward almost two years since booking Angie for our wedding and we had to delay for COVID, twice. We made sure Angie was available first and foremost on any of the reschedule options because that was how important it was to us to have her on our team. We finally had our wedding this past summer, almost four years after meeting Angie and all I can say is that it was well worth the wait. Angie is so incredibly talented and captured gorgeous landscapes with stunning color, tender private moments without ever feeling like she was intruding whatsoever, beautiful portraits with all of our special people efficiently so we could get back to the party, and lots of fun action shots! Angie was our rock and guide throughout the wedding day and looking back, I can’t imagine our wedding day without Angie brightening the day with her fun jokes or dance moves, helping out with bustles and veils, and being there for every moment feeling like she was family. Our guests seriously raved about not only how she is the most amazing wedding photographer ever based on the pictures from the day but also how much fun she was to be around at the event (especially on the dance floor)! Also, Angie is the epitome of professional with how she runs her business: prompt communication, awesome web tools/services, the whole package. I could write a book on how great Angie is as a photographer and a person but stop reading this review and book her already!

to have her photograph our day, and how unbelievable our photos are. Her attention to detail, and the unique photos she comes up with are so different than the typical wedding photos that every bride has. Aside from that, she is such a kind, genuine person and had the patience of a saint. Every single one of our guests commented on how amazing she was. She overall, delivered an unforgettable experience, and we cannot thank her enough.

was even close. She’s able to capture these surreal, epic portraits that highlight the beauty of Hawaii, while concurrently having the uncanny ability to catch the spontaneous moments that make a wedding unique and special. I booked Angie before I even booked my wedding venue, that’s how much I fell in love with her photography. It was only afterwards that I realized how great of a PERSON she is! Planning a destination wedding is hard. Angie was there to answer all my questions and make recommendations. The day of, she knew when to be inconspicuous so my now husband and I could share an intimate first look (yet still capture that moment!), and when to be right there with us, making us laugh and be natural in front of the camera. She’s so personable and such a lovely person that even after the wedding I still follow her on Instagram. Word of advice: book her early!! You don’t want to miss out on having Angie as your photographer!

d we wanted our pictures to express love and joy, and she did exactly that! Our family and friends are absolutely blown away by our photos and we look at them all the time. Her photography is really artwork, it is amazing how she captures the beauty of Maui with the emotions of the day so beautifully. She goes above and beyond the call of duty with her photos, she'll climb any lava rock formation to get just the right picture. Angie made our day so much fun, we had absolutely no stress on our wedding day, which made it truly the best day of our lives. She is so kind, talented and funny...we absolutely love her and her family! Don't hesitate even for a second to hire Angie for your wedding, you will be happy you did!

w vivid the photographs were. We both highly recommend her and Amber to anyone that needs a wedding photographer!!!

t was one of the best things I could have done she went way over a beyond capturing fabulous photos she helped me when I had questions on who to hire for help with my destination wedding she was my fairy godmother on my day she had captured so many beautiful and tearful moments, can’t forget the crazy ones too. It was a blessing to have her as my photographer I would recommend her to everyone she truly captures those moments that you didn’t even know was a moment she will make those loving memories live on forever with the beautiful pictures she takes, when we reviewed our photos I was at a lost of words I couldn’t understand how one person can be in so many places and capture the moments she captured I’m forever greatgul to have had the honor of her photographing my wedding thank you Angie thank you xoxoxoxo

iful landscapes. In addition, she brilliantly captured some of our most memorable moments at our wedding; those candid moments when our friends and families cried, laughed, and danced. She was there every step of the way, and I'm so thankful we went with her for our day. One of my bridesmaids is also a wedding photographer, and she literally went "girl, you got yourself a celebrity photographer over here." You can't go wrong with Angie - she's the best!

o meeting us in person she was so great over the phone and in our zoom meetings in answering all of our questions. When we finally met the week of the wedding it felt like we have known her for years!! Her work is impeccable, she is beyond talented. I didn't want the "standard" wedding pictures, I wanted our day to be captured by someone who knew us and knew our love and she did better than I ever could have imagined. She is not just a photographer, she is an artist. Once the wedding was over she still was not.. she sent sent sneak peeks all the way up to having the full gallery ready which was another amazing date for Edward and I. And the wedding album was the icing on the cake ! You would not regret hiring my dear friend, I wish I could get married all over again just to have her by our sides, taking some breath taking, badass pictures !!

wn wedding? Sure. Angie will take you and your best friend to the venue. Need a string to disappear from the groom's vest quickly before he walks down the isle and nobody can find scissors? Sure. Angie will literally use her teeth to bite it off for you. Yes...that actually happened. If you're looking for that ONE perfect picture from your wedding, this photographer isn't for you. She will actually give you dozens. Overall, she is well grounded, appreciates and supports her local community, and has an amazing talent behind (as well as in front of) the camera. When you want to hire a photographer to celebrate the most important day of your life, you hire her. @AngelaNelsonPhoto.com

ything is perfect. She will welcome you to Maui with a mini-meeting to finalize those “special shots” that you want. On our wedding day Angie went above and beyond our expectations by climbing hills and rocks in search of the perfect shot, not to mention that she lets you enjoy the moment instead of hands on coaching. Just when we thought things could not get any better, Angie spotted a unique sky forming and kept us out just a little bit longer for a stunning picture we will never forget. When it comes to album design and wall art, we were blown away. Angie has that magical touch designing the most beautiful, stunning albums and also went out of her way to show us how the canvases would look in our own home. We could not be happier with the entire process of working with Angie, as it was the perfect match. She is truly a rockstar and someone we are thankful to call a friend for life. We will be back to Maui and you can bet Angie will be our photographer! Thank you again for capturing all of the details of our special day and helping us relive them through your work.

tly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience with her capturing all of our special moments. She was incredibly personable, patient, friendly, flexible, and detailed. Her eye for detail and people skills were top notch. I kept hearing from my guests all night (and even now) how amazing of a photographer she was. Her bubbly personality was so infectious and she really made us feel like family. I am so glad we chose Angie to be part of our special day. She was hands down the best part of our wedding and I would chose her services over again and will recommend her to anyone seeking a wonderful wedding photographer in Maui! Thank you for making our day memorable and special, Angie!

h beautiful, creative photos. She even made our idea of a photo to announce our pregnancy a reality and it turned out AMAZING! Thank you soo much Angie!

eful we chose Angie!

have seen! During cocktail hour Angie pulled us quickly away bc she spotted an epic rainbow forming from the mountains… needless to say Angie IS THE BEST. You can tell by her work that she has true talent and loves what she does! We cannot thank Angie enough for our wedding photos and for being so kind, 100000% would recommend!

ocal advice while we were interviewing her over Skype (we even changed the start-time of our ceremony based on her sunset recommendations). Leading up to the wedding, Angie was communicative and professional, reaching out various times to touch base and make sure we were adequately stoked for our big day. At both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding itself, Angie was such a positive presence, and by the end of the weekend she felt more like a guest at the event than a photographer. She made me, my husband, our family and friends feel so incredibly comfortable and at ease, which was key given that even our small wedding had its stressors. And most importantly, when we got our photos, we couldn't have been happier. As promised, Angie captured not just the big moments, but also the small ones. She took some traditional portraits, but the bulk of our photos are poignant, candid moments, framed artistically and enhanced by her creative use of natural light. Unlike many of my friends (you'd be surprised how many people hate their wedding photos!), my husband and I love every single one of the hundreds of photos that Angie took at our rehearsal dinner and wedding. Our wedding day passed in the blink of an eye, and we feel so grateful that Angie was there to document it so beautifully and thoroughly.

very. Penny.

e black beautiful rock location she chose. Love her style!

over the phone and coordinating emails she never lost her kind hearted vibrance. Our wedding was intimate, quirky, casual and little disorganized. The day flew bye in a haze, and Angie never missed a beat. In fact she captured the day in a way that let us see moments we wouldn’t have otherwise. A tear running down a cheek, a hug, a look, a smile. It all looks so magical from her point of view. Her creativity level is off the charts amazing. She seemed to capture the very essence of us and our love, and from seeing her other work I get the feeling she has a knack for that. When I show off the picture to family and friend I always hear a version of “Wow! Your photographer was awesome!” And I couldn’t agree more! I am SO thankful for theses beautiful, amazing, aw inspiring moments that Angie captured that I cant stop looking at. Of course my favorite work of hers is our wedding, but I love following her on Instagram and seeing the rest of her jaw dropping / heart warming photos. I couldn’t be happier with this collection of picture that are so precious to us. They really are something that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. I can’t recommend her enough!!!!!

ll the reviews on the Knot/Wedding Wire/Yelp and scrolling through various IG profiles and websites)! I had anticipated the day we got to work with Angie with nothing but excitement - simply because I stalked her IG the year and half prior to our wedding and had every confidence that we made the right choice! The night before our wedding, we received a very thoughtful email from Angie with words of encouragement for our upcoming day. I took these reminders with me going into our day and those words helped ground me during moments of panic. I wish someone had told me these things sooner! During our wedding (OCTOBER 17, 2019), Angie's genuine excitement for her work and our day made us feel so comfortable! It is important to note that my partner does NOT like taking pictures but she made the process such a breeze for the both of us. The day after the wedding we received THREE amazing preview shots. My partner and I are beyond impressed and we cannot wait to see the rest! I've included photos with this review and LOOK AT THE BIRD - could it be any more perfect?! Angie is one of the best investments we made during the planning process. Thank you Angie for being such a dream to work with, your warmth radiates and your talent is unmatched! We are forever grateful. BOOK HER, SHE'S AMAZING AND YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.

er!' She made our wedding memorable and documented it exactly as we wanted to remember it. We have gotten so many compliments on our pictures and every time we look through our photos, it makes us feel like we're reliving the best day ever. Angela has an uncanny ability to make everyone around her laugh and smile and this results in her ability to capture beautiful, candid moments that are cinematic, vibrant and emotion-filled. I hope that Angela will remain a constant in our lives and continue to capture all of our special occasions and family milestones with her extraordinary photography. Do not look further for your next wedding photographer, hire Angela Nelson and you won't be disappointed!
